Hello! I am also new and there are days I have few views. I could not give advice because of being new on Etsy and also facing the same problem but I can share what I am doing. Well I try being active and participate, favourite and make treasuries with items I really like, participate in teams and promotional games, follow other people whose work I like etc. I also try to tag my listings according to the search engine "requirements" . Most experienced sellers recommend patience. Any advice is welcome

Hello! I use promotion too and I just pay $0.02 USD per click, maybe you can change to that amount

Patience is key! You've had 3 sales already, that is great! It took me 3 months to make my first sale. I have never used paid advertisements. Keep adding more items and stay active on changing and updating your shop and items. Good luck!

Patience alone doesn't work.
You have to make it happen.

Thanks All for your valuable advice i am using paid advertisement it seems its getting me views and clicks but no sales i am burning money only

To get your items seen, Click on the Home icon at the top of your page. Go there and click on every item that comes across your Activity Feed. Go to the shops and Favorite the shop and a bunch of items. Follow the shops. Most shop owners will then do the same for you! All it will cost you is some time!

Best of luck!

You want to promote your items to your target market, not randomly click on listings of other sellers.
Marketing = determining who your target customers are and finding ways, online and offline, to interact with them and promote your products to them, without spamming them.

People selling the same category of items even in more price who started some 10 12 days before me made 50 sales and i have made only 5. dont know what is going wrong? any body help out

Hi! I would recommend advertising your page through other venues like facebook or instagram.

You shop looks monotonous. You have several types of items but on the first page you have only phone/iPad covers and they are all in the same position. Then you spam the viewer with that logo in several photos.

Next under shipping:
10-20 business days

You are selling things that are readily available almost anywhere. No one is going to wait 20 days for a phone cover when they can go to a store and get it today and even ORDER it and get it today.

That's one of YOUR original designs????

You're in India. An exotic place, rich in culture, history and art and you're selling stuff that one can find in a mall? Why don't your products have an Indian twist and a style that isn't available everywhere?

Saying something is "cool & unique" doesn't make it so and when something is cool and unique it speaks for itself so you don't have to say.
it.

The edgy b%^&hy ship has sailed. In a world that is already way too hostile and dangerous do we really need another shirt with "Whatever" on it?

I have had my Etsy shop since June of last year. Only two sales! I am working on SEO's, Tags, Descriptions and redoing some of the pictures to make lighter. I am on Instagram and FB. Any suggestions? I have been patient but would welcome any suggestions. Thanks
