Advertisement without spending money?

My first month on Etsy, 5 sells, no reviews/stars yet. How to spread the word about my new Etsy store (Retrophiliac62) without using fee based advertisement?

You sold 5 items in your first month?! You're lucky I haven't sold anything, just had lots of views.

3 sales in two months....some views. Not sure what else to do....I guess it takes patience

It's quite hard to keep up the momentum, but I find it helps to post about new items on your social media pages. Spreading the word at events (eg. 'you can also find me on facebook/etsy') & taking part in # hours on Twitter as well is a quick & easy way to meet like minded people and customers!
