# Just Opened My Shop - No Views After 2 Weeks, What Am I Doing Wrong?

I have 15 listings up for handmade candles but only getting 5-10 views per day total. My photos look good I think? Is this normal for new shops or am I missing something obvious? How long did it take you all to get traction?

Two weeks is totally normal! Etsy takes time to index new shops. Focus on: optimizing your SEO, adding more listings, and driving some external traffic from Pinterest or Instagram. Give it at least 3 months before worrying.

Check your tags and titles - are you using terms people actually search for? Use eRank or Marmalead to research keywords. Also make sure your first photo is scroll-stopping. That is what gets the click!
