To get sales faster you should permanently ask yourself: why should people buy from you and not from your main competitors? If you can't find a fast sincere and realistic answer, then you have a problem...

To grow fast you have to identify and keep a closer eye on your TOP 3 main competitors, then try to learn what they are doing different by you: prices, discounts, delivery and refund policies, images, titles, descriptions, tags, etc - but never try to copy/paste anything from them, especially for titles, images and descriptions). Your TOP competitors are the best free teachers you can get, and following their shop strategies will help you to become a No. 3, No. 2, or even Number 1 in your niche.

Just in case you didn't already knew, here are the 5 golden rules to get sales for any shop. In order to increase your chances of getting sales, please take into consideration that after a visitor arrives in your shop, the best ways to motivate him/her to buy are:

1) Competitive Prices (better than the prices of your 3 main competitors)

2) High Quality Products

3) Diversity (your shop should have several listed products, the more the better: 50, 100, 500, try to add as many as you can);

4) Accessibility (fast delivery);

5) Trust (via excellent reviews of your products).

As you may have already noticed, most sales are generated by shops that are old and have 100+ listed items (some shops have even 1000+ products).

Lets's take the case of Etsy shops!

I hope you know that before buying, people will sort the Etsy results by price and reviews. In other words you're competing with all Etsy shops from your niche, and first results in first listed pages of Etsy's searches, will be the products that are sold for the cheapest prices from Etsy.

Then in second case, for people who are sorting the Etsy resuts by reviews, for them Etsy will list in first pages the products that have the most reviews (they are looking to buy better quality, not a cheap price).

Therefore, you have to get some of your producs in first results, and that is possible in two ways:

- with Etsy ads (the most recommended, because you can get your product(s) listed in front of your main competitors), and cheap advertising;

- or lowering your prices so much to be the cheapest products from entire Etsy marketplace, even if you'll sale some products under the production costs (you'll get negative profit for that). A few short times per year, many Etsy sellers are using this strategy to get sales faster (and some reviews).
