Hello Everyone! Hope all of your holidays went well!

My shop has been open since September. I still have not made my first sale, and I have tweaked all of my photos (Except for one that I have to master since it is framed and I can't quite master there being no glare even without the flash) I have expanded my shop to include a few crochet items as well. All paintings in my shop are the originals.

I have not been able to get the amount of views that everyone else reports...100s 200s 300s. Not even close. My maximum has been fifty and that has been a one time only thing. I understand that the more items you have, the more sales and exposure but as other artists have expressed, this takes time. I am lucky if I add one item per week let alone per day. Even so, I added two yesterday and I only had 13 views for the whole day in my shop. I just don't know what I am doing wrong.

I was told that shipping turns people off, so I changed my prices so that they included shipping costs and offered "free shipping." Which still didn't help. Are my prices O.K.?

Any critiques, suggestions, tips, advice would be appreciated.

Rozena, Do you know anything about prints? I don't and really wouldn't know where to start as far as how to get them or make them...

Don't feel bad, I only get about 25 views a day myself on a good day. But it doesn't matter how many views as much as it matters who's viewing and if they're in the mood to buy something from your shop. You just haven't had the right people come by your shop yet! You have great items and it will happen, it just takes time. I am in the process of doing the SEO thing, I'm hoping that will help. It's an interesting process, anyway, and I'm learning a lot. Good luck in your venture!
