I have built it, now will they come?

I am a new seller on Etsy and I have gotten everything in place and have had one sale. Now what? I have had some lookers but how do I get myself out there and how do I reach the right people. I don't know where to go from here.

I haven't had a sale yet, but I try to take some time out each day to search, favorite, stay on the team boards...just keep my name popping up in different places. I've noticed more viewings, but I'm staying patient (although sometimes hard).

Re: I have built it, now will they come?

Hey, a sale already, well done! there are a few ways to get yourself seen;
1)renew items. It costs $.20 each time but puts your item at the top of the search results.
2)make treasuries, it's fun and a good way to network. You can email the featured sellers to make them aware, or it will also show up in their activity feed.
3) consider joining a treasury team to increase your chances of being in one. Other teams will also have team treasury challenges or chain games.
4) promote on facebook and twitter.
5) be patient- this part is hard- but as you are seen and hearted more, others will see more of you because of the way etsy set up circles. It is a very slow snowball effect. Hang in there and congrats on your first sale!

Sunny, how do you find treasury teams to join? This is not something I've heard of, but sounds like something I may be interested in. Thanks!

I would create a facebook page for your site. It has helped create buzz for mine.
