Need some help

I could use some pointers on my shop. All my sales have been from posting relentlessly on Facebook and Instagram. I have not had any sales directly from etsy. I just started out 2 1/2 months ago. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Re: Need some help

39 sales in 2 1/2 months seems really good to me! It seems very difficult to get jewelry to show up in Etsy listings. I also sell wire wrap jewelry and other stone ware products. I have sold 11 items in about 1 month, and all but one of them are from people I know. I know that getting views and favorites for your items is supposed to help to get your item listed in searches, so maybe join a team that does games where you post an item and like or favorite other items on the thread. I am on a few of these and have gotten many views as a result, but so far, still not much luck with items getting listed on Etsy. I have been told that Instagram and Pintrest are excellent ways to advertise your items. I finally broke down and get an Instagram account and already had Facebook, but not Pintrest. I guess I'm not much help being even newer than you with even fewer sales. I keep being told it takes time and to be patient, but that is hard!

What Janet said--you're doing well, imo. I'm not sure I've gotten far using things like Pinterest but it puts your items out there. Yes, join teams, work on key words...your jewelry is beautiful.

30 SALES are great. I have not had any luck with Facebook leading into Etsy. Amy, what are you doing and how are you doing Facebook to get buyers over to Etsy?

Hi Amy,

Your shop is beautiful! I like your pictures too! Great job!

I am also curious how did you get sales from IG?

Re: Need some help

Are you getting lots of views from Etsy search? I took a quick look at your shop and it looks like you're using a bunch of single word tags (keywords). You should have better luck if you use phrases that a customer would use: "blue pendant" instead of just "blue." (I made up that example.) You might also change up your titles so that you do have so many that begin with the same exact words.

Good luck!
