Need Advice

I need advice. I have fixed up my pictures, search tags, descriptions, etc. I get around 30-40 views per day consistently. I have over 250 followers on Facebook. I've been paying to advertise on blogs. I have my own blog. And still... I haven't had a sale in nearly 2 months...

Are my prices too high? too low?
Are my items just not Etsy quality? or style?
Am I missing something about my shop or listings that might be turning buyers away???

Any suggestions would be so helpful.

Re: Need Advice

The problem is not you. Your shop looks lovely and your pictures and prices are fine. Sometimes, it's just slow. It took me five months before I had my first sale. It takes others longer, but it doesn't mean you have to give up. Just keep on doing what you are doing. Keep listing new items and eventually you will get a sale. Join teams and list your items there. The more views you get the better the chance of a sale. Well, hope this helped a little bit. Good Luck and keep on smiling. :)

Re: Need Advice

I would suggest keep adding items.
Seems most of the items you sell are high in quantity here on Etsy (saturated markets). More items will get you seen more.

Good luck :)

Re: Need Advice

Thank you both! I appreciate the kind words and suggestions. I think I will set a goal to try to list items more frequently. Right now, I work full time, and only have time to craft / create on the weekends, and then I usually list my new items on Saturday evenings or Sundays all at once. Maybe I should try posting one or two at a time mid-week as well.

Re: Need Advice

It's so hard to get sales, I wish I knew how. But I do have 1 advice for you, you need to do small changes to the titles like this item:

Peach / Pink 2" Daisy Petite Hair Clip for Spring with Vintage Style Pearl Center

The important words that describe the item should be the first 3 words. I think this one should start with:
Petite Hair Clip, or just - Hair Clip - and the rest should come latter. It's supposed to be better for searches this way.

Re: Need Advice

For the listing throughout the week, you could still do all the work on Saturday and/or Sunday but then just save it as a draft. Then one at time during the week you can quickly publish it. It takes no time at all to do that but then you are spacing them out some.

Re: Need Advice

Thanks Kim. I didn't think about saving them as drafts. Thank you all for your good advice!
