What should I be doing?

I just joined Etsy last month, only began posting my art last Friday. So far I have had no sales, which makes sense, what with me being new and all. However I have been steadily getting more views.

Anyway so that I don't start rambling, is there anything I should do to get more hits on my page, and thus sales?

Hi Daniel, welcome to Etsy.
You can start with working on your titles, tags and descriptions. They should consist of the key words that describe your item and they way a customer would search for them. This will help you get found.
Have a look at the Etsy sellers handbook, it's a brilliant source of information.
Maybe include some details in your description, such as size, material etc.
I hope this helps you get started.

Good luck with your shop! :)

I agree with everyone about the short descriptions. Also, your shop has no banner, or announcement.

Use all your tags! Then put those keywords in your title. Then use some of those keywords as shop sections for bonus SEO.

Good luck with everything.

Get a display picture and banner; give your brand an identity so people can recognize your shop and remember it.

Fill in your shop policies--be as specific as you can be to avoid trouble later on.

Be specific in your titles and descriptions, 'cause frankly I have no idea what you're selling. I see pictures, I see a tiny description, but I'm still in the dark about what exactly it is.

Make sure you identify and seek out your target audience, too, 'cause I have a hunch you're going to have a very specific audience.

Welcome to etsy. Look in to Stumbleupon.com and Wanelo.com. Also set up a Facebook page and a Pinterest account. Put your stuff out there all over the place. The more exposure the better. It is time consuming but worth it!

Alright, I've updated my picture and about me, moving onto a banner. After the banner, working on keywords for my npieces, and of course adding more pieces is there anything else I should work on.
