I only opened a few weeks ago and I expect people are still getting over Christmas .I am hoping for my first sale soon but would really like to increase mt views but really not sure how to do this any advice would be gratefully received.

Tweeted one of your greyhound items for you, maybe that will help
Well done
@Littlelinsy to gain more views promotion in as many different places as possible is the key. Also finding your target market. Donāt forget to use as many photoās as you can we can use up to 5. Try to take a photo of the inside of your caseās to show the material inside. Hope that helps
Thank you all
Hi Esterina, thanks for the info, I did all the deleting and, and not sure that worked. I did manage to edit in the end, but had to change each photograph separately. I will monitor how it goes, if it doesnāt improve I may close my store and just use Etsy, as that is where my sales seem to come from.
A lot the time it is us not clearing our history and things like that, I doubt if its Folksy fault which could be why they werenāt much help. Hope it improves, shame you may close. Good luck. If its still its not working, try asking again as Iām sure someone will know.
I am so pleased I have just sold some bunting!!! So happy! One up for the āother siteā
Hi, Iāve had a few problems with adding photos to my listings. I have found that using a different browser can help get around this, so it may also help with other editing isues.
Iāve had 2 sales this month - my first two. Iāve been here for a couple of months, so Iām keeping my fingers crossed. I am not sure how my customers found me as they certainly arenāt people I know, but Iād love to be able to repeat whatever it was!
I had my first sale today so Iām happy. Iām not quite used to folksy yet as I am āthe other siteā but it seems a friendly place to be.
Hopefully things will start to pick up, people must be getting paid around about now? Fingers crossed they may head our way!
I seriously hope people start spending some money soon too
Iām with you. would be nice to get afew more sales.
Iām sure it will pick up for everyone very soon with valentineās day and mothers day. And im sure there are other things coming up too.
Keep everything crosseā¦
Itās been slow for me for months. Iāve probably only sold half a dozen things in as many months, I sold one sale item in Jan. Maybe I need to do more tweeting and Pinterest to promote things but there seems little time in the day to do all this extra social networking as it is.
Its good to hear sales are happening
I put my shop in holiday mode over Christmas and lost a lot of my creative mojo. So I put my hand up to the fact Iāve not been as tentative to my little shops needs lately
Iāve had the January blues mainly due to the dull long dark nights and days, but with spring just around the corner Iām beginning to feel motivated again. Such a relief to feel creative again. It makes me happy
So not a whisper of a sale for me for months but thatās my own fault as I know.
Iām looking forward to a positive 2015 with hopefully a few sales along the way.

Two sales for me today which is nice ⦠ordered by the same buyer ⦠so I refund excess postage. I find that works out better for me because of the weight variation of my work and so is fair to the customer too.
I saw your lovely gull bowl being featured on the Folksy facebook page this morning, so youāll probably have lots of views too
It was sold by lunchtime. Maybe as a result of being on FB. Thanks for letting me know x
Youāre welcome
Strangely, I started listing jewellery a couple of weeks ago in my shop, and since then I have sold 3 cards (Hardly sold any cards last year) Not complaining though.
