You want to sell 10 items a day etc etc etc
here's a few steps
1 you have to have a product people want
sorry folks but this is most important
2 you have to have the inventory to cover demand.
It doesn't do you any good if you have to make every thing before you ship it out people will go elsewhere
unfortunatley we live in I want it now age
3 You have to market your product your self and your shop effectively
do a google search for your product by category ie dried flowers not the name you gave it
do a goggle search of your shop or business name with spaces IE my shop peanut
for the last few months I have watched both of mine come up to the first page of google searches it is a slow process
When a person is searching etsy or the net for a product like yours they don't type in
purple passion fuchsia dried flowers
so why do you title it like that
the will search for dried flowers
then Dried flowers purple passion fuchsia
Think about what you would type in looking for a product. Most people search just like you
diamond earrings, abalone shell earrings, wool scarfs and on and on
I am not getting down on the way people label their products,but I am helping to increase your sales and exposure.
Up until the end of November i averaged a sale a day
my average is now 3 a day
I sold over 100 items this month yes its January
My google of my shop or items when i started was so way down I could not find them
now its page 1
just my advice its worth as much as you paid for it

Good tips for titling.
I intend to seriously look into changing my titles
once this whole relevancy thing gets ironed out.
Getting found on Google is hugely important.
Am also wanting to get found on Etsy ...
as well as off.
Thanks for your advice MountainManCreations!
