Hi! I need a little help....

I am working on my first sale. I love this item and I thought others would too but having major issues with views... could be my tags perhaps?

cheers, thoughts etc?

Hi! One thing that helps is to have the same phrase in your tags, description, and title. Your title is good, but i would take out the words like "your" and "during" and make it something like "firewood carrier kindling tote warm and toasty holiday gift" and maybe put "kindling" "gift" and the phrase "firewood carrier" in the tags and description. First three words of the title and first couple lines of the description are where you want to repeat tags. Also, i don't think it being in the category "bags and purses" is accurate but it may be the best fit considering limited options.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I couldn't figure out what category to put it in either... But then decided it was a practical tote.

i just did some searches and only two items come up for "firewood tote" (one of them is yours) 15 items for "log carrier" (may be a good tag) and just "firewood" gave me 202 items and yours was on the fifth row. so i think if people are looking for it they will find you.

cool thanks for checking!

I would tag it with 'decor' or 'home decor' also, it will get more views or potentials.
and IMHO- I would make your 3rd pic your first pic.

I would also take out 'sturdy handles' and 'bags and purses' separate them to 'bag' 'purse' and maybe use a popular description as a tag like minimal or simple.... but you can play with them and see what works.

If I was searching for that item... no let me back up. Its a creative item and I wouldn't have known that it existed- as you have it. So I would need some help getting me to your item. Searches I would do would be for 'woman purse' or handbag, home decor... and leave it up to you to make me click when I saw the wonderful pic :D

my 2 cents.

That is a VERY creative item (and so cool!), so I definitely wouldn't even know to search for that! Therefore, I'd probably search something like firewood equipment, firewood tools, wooden-handle bag, outdoor bag, home decor, or fireplace decor, to come up with your item and be interested in it, but that's just my opinion. Also, I agree with making the third picture the main picture. :]
