Tips for increasing sales?

Hi!
I am currently new to etsy but have researched a lot and continuing to grow my shop. Just curious for any tips or ideas to better my shop and increase sales? I recently created a blog and started using pinterst to promote my products.

You need better pictures! and a model with cute feet for your sandals. =)

I'm having the same problem... only a few sales since I opened last year. Pinterest has only gotten me a few views:(

You have been open for less than a month and already gotten 2 sales, that's great! I do agree with Sam about your photos. Try to take them from an interesting angle and don't worry too much about having the entire piece in the main photo.

I don't know that you need a foot model - I kinda like the pictures the way they are - but you need to add words to your tags and titles to help more people find them - most people don't call them thongs, but sandals, summer shoes, check google adwords for help. Also, you have peacock bridal flip flops, but my first thought was maybe for prom? Think about your target audience. Your shop is so new. Give it time and keep creating.

Better pictures, more items, and good tags...

A model for the sandals.....Maybe lounging in the backyard, at the beach......Places where you would see people wearing sandals,,,Then your customer can imagine themselves wearing them! Super sute btw!

add more items. :D

also you need just a tad better lighting for your photos. stay out of the sun. overcast light is your friend. or indoors, if you opt to use a light box, diffuse the light really well to get rid of glare and random casting shadows. otherwise. good job on your first month!! welcome to the addiction.
