More items -- lots more. That will give you diversity and drive up views and sales.

Hi Jessica,
As Mary says, you do need to least at least one or two pages of items for sale to start to appear in Search. Also, search the discussions in this team for advice on how to word your titles and tags so that you'll be found in Search. You want your first word in your title to be the item that is for sale such as "hat" "scarf" etc.
What words would a buyer put in search to find your items? Think like the buyer and try to use that type of wording so they can find you.
Best of luck to you,
-Lisa

Re: Newbie!

I just faved you shop and all of your items! And I added one to my team page:

https://www.etsy.com/pages/thepromoteam

I would definitely add more items and improve your pictures! Do it in natural light during the daytime, instead of using flash... I would also do it on a white or natural background, and instead of using a beer bottle for your cozzie, use a plain white bottle, or even paint/cover a beer bottle, you want to make what you're selling stand out as much as possible(:

Re: Newbie!

Hi Jessica,

Read up on SEO and Relevancy, this will help people find you, along with adding more items. I joined an SEO team which helped me get a better hang of it. Make sure to fill out your about page... use key words there and in your shop announcement and item descriptions as well, that way you will show up in google searches also. For you key words maybe cowl scarf, knitted scarf, hand knitted accessories... but research SEO and Relevancy first before making changes to see whats right for your shop and target market. I am still learning myself and by no means an expert.

Good luck:)

Re: Newbie!

More products is for sure, I didn't have any sales until I had almost 40 in my store, but every store is different.

Hoping you have plenty of sales in 2015.
