*sigh*. Another terrible day. 120 things listed and no sales! Surely someone wants something I have up!
It is easy to get discouraged when you go through these rough spots. It makes me want to close my store and just throw everything away. I truly don't know what else to do with my stuff. I've got fancy borders around my listings, I've checked and double checked my categories, titles, descriptions, etc. I don't know what else to do, so I guess I'll just wait it out.
I'm tired of writing whiney posts. I promise the next post I write will be positive!
I had to refigure my entire store. I had to figure out what were the fast flips and at what price they sold for fastest. That way I had income constantly coming in so my more expensive items could sit and wait for the perfect buyer. So far I have had more sales just in the first week of January than I did in the whole month of December. It's not a lot of money but it certainly is encouraging.
ReplyDeleteI see from Twitter that you've sold THREE items! It never rains and then it pours, right?? It had been really slooow for me last week. I had a blogger friend who's been selling like crazy do an honest peek at my store items, and she made some recommendations that really helped! Sometimes it takes a fresh eye to look at stuff...
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of us are feeling the same way as you are! I have lots of watchers, but nobody is pulling the trigger! So depressing! I just try to keep listing and not think about it, but it certainly affects my MOOD!
ReplyDeleteCindyLou, It is depressing! Things have picked up a little and I've gained more watchers *sigh*. A couple $9 and $10 auctions ended, too, so that's something, I suppose. I feel better about stuff today than I did yesterday, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI've thought about asking someone to take a look at my store and give some feedback, but I know myself well enough to know I DO NOT handle criticism well, so I'll just wait until I'm SUPER desperate.
Some times I change the wording in the title just to see if that helps. You might try that!
ReplyDeleteCindyLou, I just got off the phone w/ ebay and that's basically what he told me to do. But I have and it hasn't helped...oh well. We'll try it again, I guess!
