Why my shop doesn't work? Why I don't sell? Please help me.

Hello,

I have opened my shop a month ago, and I only have a sale and a few favorites.
Right now I'm working on a facebook to promote my art.
I go into other etsy shops to network artists, I made some treasury list with my products. I think the photos are good, and the product is not bad.

So not exactly know what is failing. I would like you help me a little.

I am not new in Etsy, I have another user since a couple of years and another shop that does work, but this is about my specialty, I'm an illustrator and I would like it to work better. My idea is to expand the repertoire but if it does not work I'm afraid to do it.

Help please!

Thank you!

I would say add more art to your shop. Take the chance and keep creating! I have the same problem with keeping my shop full.

Also try tumblr, as in illustrator myself tumblr is pretty supportive of it's artists. Tumblr is a photo blogging site if you didn't know.

Hola Silvia,

A month is a very short time. Most Etsians will tell you that it takes a while before you get your first sale - and you already got that. Do not get discouraged. Keep building your shop and listing more items. Also, I am not an expert at all in photography - I am still working on that - but I would like to suggest that you lighten your photos a bit. They seem a little dark to me.

Buena suerte. No te desanimes.

Hi ! I'll email you a newer version of one of the photos that is looking too blue. I get the same problem with my basic camera.

A few more items would be nice.

You might look at your tags. Thee a tv show here that deals with actual strange things like those you are illustrating here's the link: http://science.discovery.com/tv-shows/oddities. You might add the tag "oddities" to pick up some views.

convo-ing now :)

Sonja Quintero, Aracely, Katie Louise Leach, Tara Mekosh Berggren: Thank you so much, I'm so glad you like my job because I was really discouraging and doubting to go ahead with this. Thanks :)

Erica and Jeb: yes, I know Tumblr and I pulled out there and in Pinterest also, but I will continue working on it.

Maria Lovgren and Kristin: I will work on the photos, I will try to work with a professional camera as my camera is not very good and the pictures reflect this. Also, I appreciate the idea of ​​adding tags like Oddities to the theme of my artwork.

I actually have been very useful all your criticism, I will work on more products and will improve everything you told me. With patience and effort I hope to get good results.

Sincerely Silvia

Learn about Etsy's SEO (search engine optimization) and "Etsy relevancy." It's not hard to learn, but it's more than I want to peck out on my phone right now.

I love you art work. I think if you keep adding more your views will start to go up! The more you have the more you are being seen.
