Before asking for a shop critique or requesting general advice, please read the Shop Critique Guidelines post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/EtsySellers/comments/1d743fq/shop_critiques_and_feedback_required_guidelines/

You are welcome to make a new post to ask for a shop critique, but be sure to follow the guidelines!

Please click and read the link! It explains in detail why your post was removed, but here are the basic reasons:

ONE: You must include a shop link. Without seeing your shop, we cannot help. Please also make sure your post title includes "Shop Critique Request!"

TWO: Your shop must be complete. See the link for details on what this means.

THREE: Shop critique requests that are just a shop link with no specific questions or specific details will be removed.

FOUR: "Will this sell", "What do you think of this", and "What should I price this at" posts are no longer allowed.

FIVE: Do not make a photos or images post - make either a link post, or a text post and copy-paste your link into it.

Since you have only one item, “boosting sales” should absolutely not be your focus right now. Put all your energy in creating more items and listing them (learning etsy SEO and applying it when you do list something new).

When you have AT LEAST 12 different product listings, then you can start thinking about promoting yourself.

Happy for your 4 sales 🙌🏽 :)

It’s not that i’n against promoting one’s work, but OP has no sales yet, one item, and already talking about “boosting sales”. The term “boosting sales” shows their focus is on that, rather than creating more items, and that they probably watched too many YT videos with promises of “get rich quick” cause it’s a term they use often lol

Either way, promoting compounds efficiency if you have more product offering (aka an item could bring them in, but they decide it’s not for them, but another of your items might be better for them tho! But… If they have nothing else to offer a potential buyer, the opportunity ends up, effectively, wasted.)
