I am new to etsy and i have some great designs for phone cases but i dont really know what to do from here. i have my designs ready i dont even know whether selling phone cases is a good idea or note. so far i have just 5 on my shop and i really dont know if i should upload all at once or weekly?. and after that what do i do to grow my shop and start making sales. i have been checking other social media forums but they dont really say much if they reply at all. so i thought why not the etsy forum itself. Please can anyone help me grow, or even drop the slightests hint on what would help me here. Ill really appreciate it. Thanks
Hey there, congratulations on starting a new shop. If you are starting out I would say put them all on there at once, than start promoting. The more items you have, the bigger the chance someone will find you. I try to add items a few times a week, and I promote a few times a day. Best you can do is go for it, put your items on there, promote constantly, and be sure to fill out shipping standards, policies, about me page. Hope this helps. Good Luck!
You want to have as many listing as possible. Also make sure you have really good pictures and descriptions of you products. Also check your tags and make sure that they are good ones. You can look at other stores that sell similar products and see how their site is set up to get ideas.
How do you find good tags?
hi and welcome! i would agree with jsbathbomb and crazedwolf about creating as many listing as you can. Also, you can 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

P.S. to answer KellysMarket question about finding good tags.. The answer is there are several online resources. For example: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015745428-How-Etsy-Search-Works?segment=selling
