Ive tried them all And there are ALL great! There are way more sites, But I would stick to these sites here ^^^^ 
Have a great day!

Another day

What To do, What to do today...?

Are you feeling low with views...?

Sometimes that happens especially In January...

Its time to change up those tags! 

You have 13 tags to use !!

Use every space in a tag!  
20 characters Try to use them all! You want to be as much detailed, as you can! You want to find the right buyers, To buy your items!
Tagging in detail >.>  Example Below,look How detailed the tags are, And the right buyer will find the item.

Think Like the Buyers 
  What Would you type into the search bar?


Many People would add tags like, ( gold, crown, ring, crystals etc.)
But If I wanted to find the perfect ring, I would Type
Gold crown ring, Princess rings, Gold rings, Gold tiara rings, Size 5 rings, Gold crystal rings etc,



Adding more tags
Now That's only 8 tags..  You need 13 tags!
 Find out what Is trending on Etsy! What season is coming up? What holiday is coming up ?

Valentines day gift for her, Back to school, Cyber Monday, Christmas gifts, Spring trend, Summer fashion, Summer trending, Last minute gifts, Gifts for her, Gift for him, Gift guide, Etc.

Those are some Great tags, above to use If you are stuck..on tags.

Tags for your country

Now Think about where you live... Use Your area for your tags, To get those local customers! 

So I live in Canada , Bc

I would usually use 1 tag for my area, Because It is way cheaper to ship, If they buy from your area am I right? Shipping can be pricey :3

Include alternate spellings of words such as “jewelry” (US) and “jewellery” (UK), along with 

holidays in other parts of the world (Boxing Day, Canadian Thanksgiving, etc.)

Extra tips 
Just a thing I do every month, I will go to my shops stats, And check out my stats for each item.
There will always be 1, or more items with very low views, Time to change the tags!
This Should be done every month! Eventually The tags will start to work, and You don't have to keep fixing them.
I use search ads If I have good tags.  I only spend 5$ a week on search ads, Just to get my item on  the top of the page, and Let it stand out! For some peolpe it works.. But not all. Its worth a try :)

Welcome All Tip 1 Photos

Today Is a new day!

Please stay tuned More Posts will be coming!
The 1st thing I want to talk about today Are photos!
 

I will show some examples of after and before
 I look at this photo, And I thinks its nice I like it..
But there are some problems with it.. Gold and Gold... Never have the same colour Its a bit of a risk.. You want your photo to stand out!
Everyone says Use A white back round, It makes the item stand out so much more, But some people are daring and use other colours with are fine..
After I made some adjustments..
Would you buy that now?
The photo will sell your item! So you MUST have Great photos!
Honestly It doesn't matter what camera you use! As long as you know How to use it!

This is a photo done with a white back round 











This is the way I take most of my photos >.> This is a box infront of a window, Natural light Will Be a show off on your items

You can take the photo from far away and crop the photo. If you noticed the back round is brown, Like I said, Its Nice to have a white back round, But some peolpe can Use other back rounds
Most peolpe who play with the photos, will know how too. I took some photo classes in gr.11 And It helped my photo SOOO much more.
I don't know if everyone knows but Taking photo with opposite colours attracts Human eye
If you noticed McDonald's Has Yellow and red, That is called Primary Colours
Christmas has Red and green Those are called complementary colours, Because they complement each other....
 

Red and green Like I said before are complementarity
This is a another way of taking photos, If you start to get board of your white back rounds
Take several shots from various angles.Taking photos from different angles will give your customers a better idea of what your item looks like.  They can`t physically touch the item But they can see it.             
And Don`t think 1 photo will be your best, Think about all what I said, And Keep redoing Until you think they look good. There are some great Photo editors out there, You should be cropping, and maybe adding brightness if there isn't any. If you want you could add contrast, to the photo, It makes the photo stand out 10x more
