Help with Shop

[Former_Member]

So Ive been on etsy for awhile. i have no sales and very few views. I know i should add more items and take better pics, my camera is broken so using camera on phone, but was wondering what else i can do help get found and maybe sale something. Any critiques are welcomed.

Some great ways to get your stuff out there are Twitter, Wanelo, Facebook, Pinterest just to name a few. I have been consistently promoting my items using these sites and it has helped. Also I noticed that as I improved my pictures it really generated a lot more views and interest. Using differing tags and descriptions as my stock increased has helped people find me, so there is something to be said for having a certain amount of items to be found. PS If you ever discover that magic number please let me know :)
Great stuff and good luck :)

Definitely participating on your teams boards help. Also make sure your keywords are relevant to your listings and keep making treasuries. Not only do treasuries help with promoting your shop but also helps others as well! Great pictures are very, very helpful.

Good Luck!

I've found the stats really helpful for checking that tags and keywords are efficient. I'm still struggling to get good photos though. Although everyone says a white background is best, if you have white products as I do, you need some other background. I'll keep trying:)

Hello I am Tonya from Sunderland UK. I am quiet new to Etsy. My shop has been open for a month now. I have joined a lovely team CraftBritania and participate when and where I can. I spend a lot of time making treasuries featuring others items which is lovely to do. I never seem to be featured in any treasuries. I have not sold any items yet and wondering what I can do. I am working on improving my photos. I wonder if anyone could take a look and give me some advice on where I am going wrong. I sell on ebay and my items sell well and my feedback is great but I want to move towards my shop for my handmade items. I love etsy and am proud of the step to open my own shop. Thank you so much in advance Tonya :)))

what can I do to increase my profile please

Hi, I have been on Etsy for about 6 months now and have only sold 2 items. Partly that is because I have a very niche market (silk pillowcases) but the other problem is that there is so much stuff on Etsy that you have to be really proactive in getting exposure - Facebook, twitter, teams etc. As I work full time I just don't have time for that, but I am happy to grow the business slowly and develop other outlets that are perhaps more appropriate for my product. I might try Ebay so you've given me an idea there! Thanks. I'll also join CraftBritannia team so might see you there too.
Good luck!

I am new to Etsy, and have not sold anything or got any views. I am also looking for pointers. I have some Christmas items, I will add to my shop and will also look into Ebay. Help.
