It takes a lot of patience. I haven't sold alot either but I have confidence in my work,so I just keep trying to make my shop better and easier to be found. I think you are to worried about creating lots and lots of items. Maybe try to spend more time on some pieces. In my opinion, shoppers don't come to Etsy for bargain prices, they come for quality items that are unique and handmade or Vintage. Remember there are tons of shops for shoppers to choose from, so keep working on your tags and titles so, and try not to get discouraged.
