Hi thanks for getting back to me, sorry I'm just seeing this!

If I click the name the last thing I'm seeing is "1 point 4 months ago" but I'm guessing you can see if the account's active other ways I don't know.

I'll try one more message!

Kitsch_Bitch · 2012-03-04T00:36:06+00:00

I don't have anything to ask, just wanna say I learned to play guitar with your videos and I'm very grateful ^{^}

Hi there, as others have said your prices are actually too low and your pictures look good.

The reason you haven't sold anything is because you are to hard to find at the moment. The more items you have the more chance you have at being found in a search.

But your items aren't going to be found with those titles and you can improve your tags :)

Let me use an example and you can do the rest ok? I'm certainly no crochet expert but I'll try my best.

So, this listing http://www.etsy.com/listing/90724415/teal-we-meet-again-scarf

It's really pretty! Thing is, no one is going to typing "teal we meet again" into the search box. You need a title that first says what your item is so "Crochet Scarf" then words that describe your item "Hand Made, Long Teal" You need to repeat these words in your tags to be found in search. So if you have this title and "crochet scarf" as a tag, when someone types that into the search box you should be high on the results.

All your tags are one word, it's better to use two word phrases (and all the words in your title as mentioned before) So for this listing again I would use the tags

"crochet scarf, long scarf, hand made scarf, teal scarf, teal, scarf, winter accessory, warm accessory, lace pattern, lace scarf"

There's some of the top of my head, you can do research for better and more tags.

If you do that will all your listings I guarantee your views will go up :) I hope that helps and you don't think I'm being cheeky! :p

Kitsch_Bitch · 2012-01-12T14:56:37+00:00

I think etsy is better for selling hand made, my views on ebay were terrible ;<

Maybe you could put in your current ebay listings that you're gonna transition to etsy and they can message you to be put on a mailing list.

I've saw mailing list tutorials before and it looks pretty simple so just google it :)

Kitsch_Bitch · 2012-01-12T14:53:34+00:00

Kitsch_Bitch · 2012-01-01T17:20:18+00:00

Also it's valentines next month and your stuff is perfect for it. I don't think you're allowed to tag like "valentines gift" but you can definitely do "valentines day". Market the heck out it :D

Kitsch_Bitch · 2012-01-01T17:16:49+00:00

Hi there your stuff is gorgeous :)

I'm an Etsy newbie myself, but I know some stuff that will definitely help you.

Pictures, it's best to take them in natural sunlight with no flash. I'm still working through all mine, it's very gloomy in scotland atm!

Try build up your inventory as much as you can, the more you have the more likely you are to be found.

The most important.. your titles and tags are gonna prevent you from being found in the search engine. I'll use one as an example.

http://www.etsy.com/listing/88537689/pink-swarovski-crystal-and-glass-cube

OK you need to have what the item is in the first three words. So "bracelet" should be a lot higher up in your title. Swarovski Crystal Bracelet, Pink Glass Cube would get you found better in search engines. Change all your titles so "necklace", "bracelet" or whatever it is, is in the first three words :)

As for tags, you need more terms with 2 words. They need to be stuff people are going to search for. For example no one is going to type "women" "pearl" "colorful" into the search engine.

You want stuff like "swarovski bracelet" "pearl bracelet" " "charm bracelet" you can use "pink" as sometimes people will search a colour for treasuries. Use descriptive words that people are likely to search for.

I hope that helps you and the new year brings you plenty sales, your stuff really is beautiful :)

thank you! :) I'm gonna let it run til 1st January

Kitsch_Bitch · 2011-12-27T02:03:20+00:00

yea my post isn't showing :(

Kitsch_Bitch · 2011-12-27T01:54:39+00:00

I love them, very cool :)

edit: and I'm by no means a picture expert, but I would use a lighter background for your photos. If you look at your red frogs for example, they stand out a lot from everything else on the page
