Hello dear friends, I am back to art after 5 years of pause;

I see the etsy site changed a lot, very confusing ! I cannot find anything that was here before, also views seem to be close to none ! I need a few lines as advice to know what can I to to improve my page / shop or even sell; do shop-exchange posts still work, if so how can I do that ? on what thread ? 

Thank you so much.. my shop :

hi. Welcome to etsy and the art group. I am new to etsy but for a few months now... I'm not familiar with the shop-exchange posts you mentioned but I do have some advice:

1) Most important, just keep making. More items = more traffic = more sales. Once you have 150 items in your shop, Etsy will give you a promotions boost. Once you have 250-300 items, you'll get another boost. Also, 80% of my sales happen in the Christmas season (October - December.).

2) I believe you're already on the ART Team. It's a great place to meet other shopkeepers and boost traffic and sales. Especially on social media these days.

3) Try to sell to friends and family at first and make sure to get follows, reviews, likes and Favorites on your items and shop because it will boost a potential buyers confidence in your shop.

For example, if you don't mind giving my shop a visit and clicking on Favorite shop, I will Favorite your shop back! www.etsy.com/shop/StevenTheArt

Hope this helps and good luck!
