Is what you sell in demand for example? Does it have that certain element that sells? I've seen so many recent Etsy shops that have had the fortune of many sales already and others not so recent that have had only one! It's the weirdest thing because what these women sell are the most beautiful things and deserve better than that. <br />Perhaps those who sell have a secret strategy(?) that the rest haven't quite figured out yet. <br />I think the best way to sell is to go out locally. Nothing beats being able to see upfront what you're buying. I've had better fortune having my jewelry on display at my brother's salon. <br />I too have payed for advertisments on Etsy itself, facebook, a certain other site and with Google adwords. I'm not willing to pay more for advertising though. If my products want to sell on their own...fine, if not, their problem :)<br />If you're not willing to fork out anymore, I suggest Zibbet. It's totally free to list and sell unlike etsy, ebay. It's the best I've seen so far. A friend has sold already and it hasn't been 2 wks she's been on that site.
