Pointers on keeping my sales constant instead of so up and down and how to increase my sales. Any pointers would be so appreciated. Ursula

I would add an "About" page, because there are sooooo many jewelry sellers, if you explain your design philosophy it helps you stand out.

Ursula,
I'm new to Etsy, and have been reading the Seller's Handbook and watching Online Labs videos to learn as fast as I can. From what I've learned, having a consistent aesthetic helps. For instance, picking a single, or a few very similar backgrounds against which to photograph all your items. Right now there are some against white backgrounds, and some with grass behind them. Also, I think your items would stand out against a neutral-shade background better than white. Because most of your items are very light, they don't contrast well with a white background- maybe you could try a light grey, beige, or tan of some sort.
Hope that's helpful!

Your jewelry is beautiful. I am learning that this is not an instant process for most of us. Lots of work and connecting. Working on SEO's and titles and shop announcement.

I, have recently tried a new brain storm for photographing my items. So new, I do not know how it will work. Seems like many of us all use the basic presentation and felt like adding a bit of fun. Time will tell if it works.

Agree with both of the previous suggestions. Hope some of this advise works for you.

Love your jewelry!! I agree with Janet V. regarding an About page. Your avatar is cute and makes me want to know more about your process. Do you have a studio in your home? Your photos look great. I think it's just a matter of doing a lot of connecting and research on SEO. Results are definitely slow in coming unless you're lucky enough to get on the front page right away or something. I still have a lot to learn myself. Keep up the good work!
