Just wondering how long it took people to make their first sale, and any advise on how to get more views without breaking the bank? I'm slowly getting items made and posted should I be more patient?

I made my first Sale on the 8th day of opening my shop!!
I only had five listings up at that time. I was soo excited that I was literally yelling and hugging my kids. They got quite scared lol
It's been one month and two days now and my shop's views are sometimes low, sometimes high. Ranging from 90 to 200. Since I am also new to Etsy, I dont know much but one thing that helped a lot is Etsy rank. Once I fixed my tags and titles I saw a big difference in views and hearts.Here is the link:

Wish you lots of happy sales.

Thank you, the tags and titles is what I am having the most trouble with. I will check that out.
