I have been on ETSY for many years - my name is "beaujangles" and I now regularly sell over 30 pairs of cufflinks a month.

A few things I have learnt.

1. The more you list (assuming its priced correctly, good photo's etc) - the more you sell.
2. Spread your listings out -e.g. dont add them all in one go, add a few each day.
3. TAGS are key - make sure you use all 13 of them, and I include words for why people would be searching for your work like wedding, anniversary, valentines etc
4. You can list the same product many times with different photo's in different sections, and with different TAGS. This way you can see which things work and which don't. For example I sell guitar pick cufflinks. I listed them under cufflinks, and under musical instruments - I sell a lot more under musical instruments than I do under cufflinks.

I hope this Helps ...

Thanks Paul
