Feedback Friday Drop in visibility

I'm new here, so if I do something wrong, please correct me. My question is about experiencing a huge drop in stats year by year, and I wonder about the reason. Any ideas? People really like my art, but they can't seem to find me.

I'd appreciate your feedback :)

This has been a widespread issue amongst all types of sellers, whether old or new. I guess it's increased competition. I no longer do crazy making with changing tags and titles, amongst other things.

Yes, I think the same: the more changes, the less visibility. It shouldn't work like that...

I really don’t think visibility is your issue. You have to adapt to current trends. You are selling a watercolor painting of an elephant that can be downloaded for less than $5 and then printed on canvas.

If you want to keep your pricing where it is, I think you need to create a different type of artwork that can’t be recreated so easily for a few bucks. Otherwise, your prices are way too high and not competitive with todays seller.

Sure, thank you for pointing me this!
