New to Etsy, really need some help getting started

Hi! I'm Katie, and I'm pretty new to Etsy, I've been here for about 3 or 4 months, and I've made 3 sales. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to increase the amount of sales I'm getting. I really love making my products, and I would love for other people to have them! Please let me know if there's anything you see that i should work on.

Hi Katie!
I don't think 3 sales is bad for just starting out on etsy. Do you have a shop page on facebook and other social media? That might be a good place to start if you don't already.

In terms of your shop items, I think it might be good to simplify, and sell just the crochet jewelry and maybe one other thing. That will make your shop more cohesive. I would make also your item listing titles simpler, and add slight variations in your tags instead. For example - Tattoo Choker with Charms.

For your photos, I think it's nice to have some variation, but I would try to pick two or three backgrounds/product placements, and try to perfect those.

I hope this helps! Good luck! :)

Hi! I do have an Instagram for my shop, but I was thinking of making a Facebook page, but I'm not sure how to get that started.
But I will definitely try your other suggestions, thank you so much!

Hi, Facebook is easy, pretty step by step, I knew nothing and I figured it out. I agree with the person above 3 sales in the first month is good. It takes a while to build a following. Join teams, favor items and post one of yours that will get people to your shop,

Good luck, don't give up it takes a while,

Hi, You have a nice shop and should be proud of your sales.
You could add a banner showcasing your specialty.
And maybe some photos or video about your process of doing things. Good luck

Hi!
Honestly I think there are too many sections and form the first page I could see you are selling a crochet blanket and besides it there is a glitter mason jar and necklaces... i think they are not related so maybe you can have them in different shops if possible?
I like that you run special offers! Make sure you share them on your Facebook and Instagram accounts!
Good luck and hope it helps!
