Advice needed

I am in need of some help. I have only had 2 sales since opening my shop, both from the same person. At least I have a repeat customer. At any rate I really want to make my shop a success. I love what I do and I want others to love what I make for them. I have been trying to make a few treasuries and regularly add items and other shops to my favorites. I have a Facebook fan page which I try to update regularly when I add new items or promotions to my Etsy shop. I also have a blog, smclevenger.blogspot.com/, which was originally and still is mostly my own personal sewing. Should I start a blog just for my Etsy shop? What else can I do to promote myself and increase my sales? I see a lot of BNR/BNS what are they and are they worth it to do?

Re: Advice needed

I only have 5 sales so I'm not that much farther ahead and I might not be the authority on this, lol. The only thing I can suggest that you're not already doing is to make a Twitter account. There's a huge crafting community on there and you can tweet about your promotions, new items, treasuries, or the latest project you're working on. I can't guarantee it'll lead to sales, but it can drive traffic to your shop. I've met some great people on there, got some good feedback, and increased traffic to my blog and shop.

Yes, I agree! Twitter boosted my sales literally overnight! Also I have found a great way to bring more traffic to my site is to offer coupon codes through this site: http://etsycouponcode.com/
