It’s a nifty little site that gives you a bunch of information on how visitors get to your site, how long they stay on your site, how many you get per day… etc.

I’ve been getting a good amount of visitors to both sites lately, so I just can’t understand why I’m not getting any sales or why more people aren’t leaving me comments on my blog. I’d really like some comments. I need the encouragement, motivation and inspiration. Having slow sales can really discourage a crafter and make them not want to continue making stuff. I just want people to like the stuff I make and enjoy it all. But if no one buys anything, it makes you think that no one likes it. But I had people telling me all day at the craft show last weekend that my quilts are “beautiful”, “adorable” and telling me “Great job!” or “I love this one!” but no one bought any. Are my prices too high? I’ve lowered the price on a few of the quilts already. I think my prices are reasonable. I’ve looked up other quilts on Etsy and I think my prices are much lower than some others.

Please leave me some comments, good or bad. Tell me what you really think about my blog and my Etsy shop. What you think about the stuff I make and my prices… etc. Do you have any ideas of other things I should make?

I really need the feedback!

Thanks so much!
