I agree with the poster who said you have to work at selling on Etsy - it is not a place to sit back and wait for buyers to come to you. I started out about a year ago, I was in no circles - now I am in 128.
Here is a graph from Etsy's website that shows how many people have seen my shop and listings over the last year. As you can see, the more you participate actively in Etsy, the more views you get. And my sales have gone up as well.
ETA - well I tried to upload the graph but it doesn't show up. Anyway I went from fewer than 100 listing views a month the first 2 months, to now over 500 views a month.
And to me, 20 cents for 4 months exposure is cheap!!
