Frustrated no interest

I'm frustrated. I don't seem to be generating any interest at all in my work.

Re: Frustrated no interest

Photographs are a difficult sell Michelle. I can speak from experience. Frustration is part of the journey. Just keep doing what you love.

Re: Frustrated no interest

I'll echo Richard's sentiment - very difficult sell. No doubt you get lots of complements ("Wow! Great shots!" or "You have beautiful work."), but that doesn't result in sales. I've always heard persistence pays, and that's the path we need to be on. Best of luck!

Don't be discouraged. People have tight budgets. Discretionary spending is down everywhere. Hopefully, that will change for everyone.

Re: Frustrated no interest

Nice to hear encouraging words. I'm a relative beginner (open a year) and trying to be patient and grow my business (no matter how slowly). While sales are slow I decided to take some photography courses to keep improving. Learning something new every day has got to be a good thing! I feel lucky every time I'm hiking around outside on a photo shoot!

Re: Frustrated no interest

Hi Michelle,

as Richard said, photographs are difficult to sell, as any kind of design.. everything takes time and requires a crazy amount of work.... don't give up there is always plenty of things to do such as SEO, copy..

Your certainly not alone.
It seems that the promotion game is often more important then quality.

Re: Frustrated no interest

Michelle,

I see that you have only 23 items in your shop. More variety and quantity will appeal to a wider audience of buyers. Also try to market outside of Etsy to gather more interest in your work. I myself am guilty of not doing this. I hope to rectify this in this coming year.
