Hi Guys (and Gals). I haven't been around in a Looooooong time because I have totally switched gears and am now focusing on digitalscrapbooking design. Yeah, I know, blah, ick, whatever. Still, I need to get traffic to my blog, not to click on ads, but to get them into the store I sell at to purchase the kits I design. Would any of you be willing to take a look and give me some ideas to generate more traffic?
Many thanks!!!

The layout is fitting for the niche.

Here are a few recs:

-Get your own domain.
-Have clearer call to actions or more visible placement of where people can buy your kits.
-Join MyBlogLog and place the widget on your site.
-Reach out to other bloggers in the same or lateral niches to yours for link exchanges, deep links, etc.
-Put out a press release.
-SEO your site with incoming links, etc after you've gotten your own domain. There are some good packages from WF members.

There's more but that's all that comes to mind this second.
 
I must say my blogspot domains reached up to PR 5 and the major reason i still posses them is to pass the link love to my preferred clients sites. Coming back to OP's question. It will be good to have not one but several ( around 20 odd) domains with blog spot (this will help u once these free blogs gain on PR which u can do with a few relevant link exchanges) n from there u divert traffic to your main store which should be on a PAID domainn not any free blogger site. Your free domains will add to the number of back links. Beside this maximus has already stated a few points worth considering.

Holy crap, your graphics are so cute. You really need to focus on that and perhaps concentrate less on the blog entries. Plus, it's really hard to find a link to your webshop. The jpgs need proper names too, as they all have scary names like "aiiiiii22222/9099090/323kfr/whatever.jpg" which is offputting. Why not turn them all into links to the shop? Because that's where the eye is drawn.

Oh and I second getting a proper website, although this isn't entirely bad. Best way to get traffic would be to sign up and post regularly at related forums (ones like Get Crafty, although not necessarily that one).
