I am new to Folksy and a bit lost by it all. I THINK I am getting visitors to my shop but I haven’t made any sales.
I wondered if anyone could have a look at my shop and tell me if I am doing anything wrong? Are the photos okay? The descriptions? Are my prices too high?
Also, how do you get more visitors? Do you advertise? Where? How do you get “featured” on Folksy?
Good morning Tori…and welcome.
It takes time to start getting sales. My first sale was after three months ! Just keep joining in on the forums…chat, say hello etc.
Keep listing…not too many at a time so that people keep coming back to look in your shop for new things.
Getting featured?..mmm…I have been here nearly 11 years now and never been featured…so don’t hold your breath.
There are tags for each day of the month and these are listed on the forums…so if any of your items fit the criteria then use that tag and your item will go on the home page for the day.
Join in on some of the forum games so that people get to know you and show your work on facebook etc. hope that helps x…and don’t forget to add the size of the items…people want to know the size x
I am new to all this too … Instagram is also really good I have found for a showing of your work ( even if the shop link is broken at the moment ) in your bio you can still put a link to your website or folksy shop. Pinterest also is quite good but also take some time to get your head around I am still working on that !!.. youtube and skillshare are quite good for advice and learning how to promote your self on social media etc good luck with it all
I’m in the same boat, not sure this message is even reaching you…nothing is straight forward here, I’m getting a bot offering no help just letting me know there is a bot.
We will get there, I will have a look at yours and comment, please do for me too . Love any advice.
