Hi
I know that is difficult to say and all shops will get sales at a different pace. But in general anyone out there who has just stated out in folksy and getting sales now.

welcome to Folksy
Be patient, it takes time to get noticed…I waited 3 months for my first sale and now well over 1000 sales…mind you, it has taken 11 years…
Join with the forum chats and get to know everyone…the sales will follow x

Hi ‘GiftsGalore’ - I joined in February and had one sale quite quickly but nothing since then - it takes time to develop your sales, and sales seem to be related to how much time you put into promoting yourself and others on social media. I have found Folksy brilliant for good advice and community support so I’m sticking with Folksy as I learn more and more. Sales are up on other platforms (probably due to what I learn on Folksy) so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for more sales on Folksy. People do become established sellers here but it does take time. Good luck with your shop.

I was lucky and had my 1st sale on day 7 of being open. Back in the day I done well here on folksy but over the years it’s turned to tumbleweed.

I sell OK elsewhere so I don’t think so. Folksy just isn’t so well known (even though it’s been going for years!) and it lacks so many functions that would make it a lot better. Even the search hasn’t worked for months! People give up looking when they can’t find what they’re looking for.

Yes very true. It needs a major upgrade and lots of advertising if it is going to attract more sellers and customers.

I’ve just opened this week, not expecting a rush of sales straight away but the number of views is encouraging. I’m expecting it to take a while for people to get to know the shop and the style. Good luck

Good luck on your new adventure, lovely shop!
Try to take advantage of the 15 tags offered, as it will help your listings getting more views

Thank you for the encouragement @theslothscavern
I did wonder if some items were a bit short on tags, I’ll think a bit harder for further listings
