Please, I need help with tags and getting views

[gradyladies]

I opened my shop about a week ago. I'm having trouble with tags and getting found. I'm not getting many views at all, somewhere around 40 on average a day and 2 - 5 favorites. Can anyone check out my shop and give me some help on what I'm doing wrong? I've tried changing my keywords but nothing seems to help. Often when I try to find my listing using my keywords they don't come up. I'm frustrated. Maybe my view count is normal for a new shop but it seems low to me. I really appreciate any help you can give. Please be hones,t with your feedback, I welcome your honesty. THANKS!

Your view count and your sales are both very good for only having been open a week. The more items you have the more views you will have. You only have 21 items. It takes time to get established. I don't think you are doing anything wrong. If you want to know about tags and titles for specific pieces. do a search for a piece like it and see what tags they used (click on item details) and look at the views and the expiration date will tell you how long it's been listed. If you look at a number of shops and get a feel for what the most successful in your field are doing that will tell you more than anything else.

Thanks Sue for all you kind help. You broke it down so simply. It's finally clicking. I never knew how to view tags for other listings. You've been such a great help. My sales so far were to kind friends so they don't really count, but I'm hanging in there. Just wanted to be sure there wasn't any glaring mistakes I'm making. You made me feel better. I appreciate you helping me out so much.
