No Sales on Folksy. (Help)

So I’ve still got no sales on Folksy.

Is there any advice you can give me.

Patience, I think! You haven’t been here very long.
Your items are gorgeous so promote like mad and the sales will come.

Yes. Luckily I’m getting sales through my Facebook page

Have a read through this and make sure your listings have got all the important information to help them get found: How to write a listing that gets found in search results

For example, your Rolo without a mohawk doesn’t have any tags. “Hand puppet” isn’t mentioned anywhere in the title, description or tags, and the word “puppet” is only mentioned once.
There are only 2 pages in the search results for “puppet” at the moment, but because of that, he’s at the very end.

Your Rolo with a mohawk mentions “please ask for what colour paper clip you want”, but I can’t see a paper clip in the photos, and the description doesn’t explain what the paper clip is for?

Yes, you haven’t been here very long and it can take a bit of patience for the sales to come in. Your puppets look great, but you need to make sure people will be able to find them, and that any questions they’re likely to have are answered in your description.
