I had my first sale after about 3 months. Does depend on the amount of social media promotion you do though. Again I normally post to sm a minimum of once a day, sometimes more. Joining in the forums helps as well.

I sold my first item on my day of opening but I had been running teaser posts on FB for several weeks so people knew I was opening up shop.
(To help you get found in folksy search results and get that first sale you need to have tags on your items - I looked at several items and they didn’t have any! And the tags need to match phrases that people will search for so double check for typos (the thorn in my side when listing as my brain works quicker than I can type))

thanks i also sell on Esty which is very big for me
I had my first sale 7 days after opening.
Just had a look at your shop and I think making use of ‘collections’ would help. Also I couldn’t see any links to your social media sites.
ok thanks for the advice
Your tags are too long! I looked at a couple e.g the knitting kit for kids you could use kids crafts as one tag, knitting kit for another, think of short things you would search for if you were a customer looking for your items.
Hey. I had a look your posts. So pretty! About your tags, it looks like you haven’t separated them. Like they appear as one tag, maybe try separating them with a comma? Like this one:
(my Mam would love these by the way, her birthday is next month so will have to buy some!)
It varies a lot. I have sold fairly steadily, sometimes quite a lot, but for the last 3+ months___absolutely nothing! Keep trying.
