Hello! I agree that us small business owners should stick together! I have been trying my best to look at all the posts of here and give feedback. One thing that I didn't have when starting my business was a way to make sales (like ever business starts out) and HOW. I pretty much experimented and a lot of trial and error to see what worked for my shop.
One thing is to make sure your photos are the best ones that you can take. What I mean is, you don't have to have fancy equipment, but make sure your photos are clean and to the point - good lighting and cohesion. Another thing is make sure your titles are descriptive (I saw one of your listings just said "sparkle"), that means that someone isn't going to find your product unless they search "sparkle" and nothing else. I would put something along the lines of "Wire Wrapped Amethyst Pendant, Amethyst Pendant, Handmade Pendant;" be very descriptive. Also, TAGS are very important! When making your listing, make sure you use a lot of tags, if not all that's aloud (I think it's 13 or something). For tag examples, "amethyst pendant, amethyst necklace, wire wrap, wire wrap amethyst, handmade necklace, handmade amethyst, amethyst crystal, crystal pendant, handmade pendant, wire amethyst." Try to have as many as possible and be descriptive as possible. Tags are what makes customers find your listing. If they search "handmade amethyst pendant" yours is likely to pop up because it was your tag.
Also, make sure you're pricing very competitive in the beginning. When I opened my shop, I wanted to be the "cheapest" place to buy my certain products, so people would feel more inclined to purchase from me rather a larger store. As I grew, I was able to increase prices and make profit. It's just something you need to do in the beginning to gain sales and reviews. Reviews are very important as well, so whatever you can do to get a few reviews in the beginning is worth it!
Hopefully some of that will help!
