In order to generate sales...

Your product needs 5-star reviews and ratings. Positively reviewed products build confidence in the buyers. Try to get first few positive reviews, rest of the work will be done automatically.

Not all buyers will leave a review even though they are happy with the product. Here comes the role of marketing, you need to send reminder to your buyers for leaving positive reviews. When sending reminder, do not talk straight instead use the term such as just checking in to see if you are happy with the product, if you are not happy what needs to be done to make the product better. Etc.

Having about section and policy section will also help you generate sales. People always like to know who they are buying from and what the seller policies are. Explaining your selling terms will help you avoid future disputes.

Adding trending keywords that reflect time, weather, season, festivals, etc. will help you generate sales.

I had been using Upwork for 4 months and still, I was not selling even a single service. Then I slashed my asking rate. When I applied for a job with my slashed rate, I was hired. I delivered the highest quality work to my knowledge and managed to get a 5-star review. When I applied for the second job, I was immediately hired. When I managed to get a couple of 5-star reviews, I increased my rate and started bidding on my regular rate, and I was being hired. When I started selling on RedBubble, I applied the same strategy, I set just a $1 commission for the product I created. Since I was selling lesser than my competitor and better designs compared to my competitors, I managed to get 5-start reviews. When I thought I had enough 5-start reviews to increase my profit margin, I started selling for a higher price. The key to generating sales is good reviews.
 
Although there are many ways to generate optimal sales in your online store, the most important thing is that you must first know in detail the products you are going to sell. So that every question from prospective customers or old customers will be answered appropriately. Providing a promo price, you can also make a special price for the first 200 buyers, you can display a promo price that is bigger than the actual price, give a flashy color and write off the price before the discount, but make sure that you have calculated the profit margin first. You can also hire endorsers and influencers, which are often used by many online stores to increase sales turnover. Take advantage of social media ads such as Facebook ads, Instagram ads to increase sales potential.
