I am brand new to etsy and only have 2 items in my shop im not expecting to make overnight sales and be a top seller.

I have more items to post but before I do so I would like some constructive critique from those of you who have been here longer.

Hi Julie, Welcome to Etsy!

I think the main advice I would say is too make your shop more personal - with a profile picture, policies, the about page, so your potential customers know about you and who they are buying from. Have a look around other peoples so you can an idea of what to include.

I'm with Louise, you need to up the personalization not to mention getting policies up.
Get your listings up and work from there. You never know what will happen until they're up!
Best of luck.

I definitely recommend a banner and avatar, not just to make it personal - its your branding which is incredibly important!
Join an SEO team! Your title needs more keywords so it can be found in search, repeat these keywords in the first sentence of your description so you can be found in Google searches. Neither of your current listings have any sizes. You need dimensions!
Lastly, work on your tags. They should be commonly searched phrases, not single words! Hope that helps! :)

Hi, Julie--congratulations on your shop!!

For this item, I would change the order of photos. I would use the third photo as the first because it shows the entire item. I would also use all the photo slots available.

Good luck!

Most important this is make your shop personal. People shop on Etsy because they like supporting artist and knowing their story. Pictures are KEY. Make the pictures look inviting and unique. Read the Etsy Success info for some good tips. I have read it twice and always find something new to try. :)

Hi Julie, Welome to Etsy.

I would follow the advice listed above and maybe check out some of the shops on Etsy that are selling items like yours. That may give you some ideas.

Good Luck
