I've tried purchasing different web sites for many years. Now I'm with esty and still not getting sales. I've spent so much money beyond my means. I still have all my jewelry, beads and supplies. I just cant deal with this anymore. I've promoted had others redesign my web site and nothing. I'm only a jewelry designer nothing else.

It was 3 months before I made my first sale and my shop took off. Try giving it a little more time.

You're a beautiful Jewellery designer.

I get the feeling that you really don't want to give up yet. I understand the pain, but I think that you're still holding onto your dreams.

The fact that you say you are a Jewellery designer and nothing else speaks volumes... if that's what you are, then try every venue you can before even thinking of giving up.

I truly wish you the best of luck.

I was looking at your site and I see that your descriptions are minimal with not much for details, what items are made of, and lacking in photos. You have only been here a month. Many jewelry makers don't see many sales for about 3 months. I started to read your "policies" - wow, your additional information is a bit overwhelming. Give it time, be patient, good luck

Your designs are beautiful..... You are a beatiful person maybe you should model your jewelry yourself?

Try putting more items in your shop. My orders really picked up whenever I listed over 50 items. Also posting on blogs with a link to your Etsy shop is helpful too. Good luck to you.

You haven't even been on Etsy for a whole month?! I'm sorry you feel discouraged, but it does take time ... and I do think there are things that you could improve. I don't think most of us came on Etsy with a built in customer base and had sales rolling in the first month ... it takes time, work, determination ... and yes a bit of monetary investment
