Any tips?

I've still not had a sale yet :( :(

I've gone through every listing trying to make it the best I can, giving many options available for different sizes so no one looks at something and thinks "wish it was XXX size" and then looks elsewhere before asking etc.

I'm just dying for a sale!! lol

Any ideas on what I can do to get myself out there? I've tried search ad's (useless) and being featured at the top for a day, no use) I even had a dream that I was all set up with lots of features for the day etc, insanity's kicking in! lol

Yes! Your shop announcement is vital! Google searches, picks up and reports back the two first sentences or about 150 characters.
Never mind welcome they know you're happy they found you.
Something like (keep in mind I am clueless about photography)!
Fine Prints, photography and notecards on professional acid free papers and ...................
What is it?
What do you specialize in that coule rise you above others?
what else do you sell, offer?

After the first two sentences remember everything in your announcement still helps keyword wise so keep going but keep short and sweet and not like you're talking to someone.

Might help if you wrote down in 10 words describe your shop.
In 20 words describe it more.

Ok if I was looking at your shop as a customer....

I see a lot of the exact same thing. Not saying ti is wrong or right but I would look at the first 'canvas' and not all the others.

Most people I think need to visualize what they might be interested in.

Take a look around at some of the other photo shops and see what catches your eye and then go back to yours and see what needs tweaking

That house print is marvelous.. :)

Thank you, it's the house next door to me lol.

Some great advice, thank you, I'm going to tweak my announcement now :)

You're welcome! You'll see a difference anywhere from tomorrow to a week or so from now depending when the google bots come around searching for new content again.

I would rearrange my shop. When I clicked on, it looked like you had 4 photographs & then just tons of custom prints available to order.

And I must be really slow this morning because it took me a couple read throughs of your custom prints before I really understtod that the listing was for me to pick one of the prints of yours you had already listed. I thought you were offering to make a professional print of one of my own photos until I got to the bit where you said you sign it one the back. Then the whole thing clicked. Keep in mind, it could've probably been just me-I'm not too on the ball until I've finished at least one cup of coffee.

You're also able to feature 4 listings at the top of your shop.

Another idea would be maybe to diversify. Such as doing cards with your photos.
