I need some advice for an online print shop

Hello, I want to thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for any advice. I'm an artist, and have opened a small "hobby shop" on Kofi selling prints of my artworks. I've been open for 2 months, I know it's still very early.. but for the life of me, I cannot get people to click on my links. I have Insta, Threads, Facebook, Pinterest, Tiktok, and Reddit/Facebook groups. My big question here, is I'm offering 2 sizes with each purchase for "regular prints" for about $12. They come with 2 frame ready sizes. Is this too much? Do I even bother adding 2 sizes? For example, 4x6in & 5x7in. Or should I instead to variants? Add both sizes onto the listing but charge a cheaper price? Or is selling art prints dead, and should I find a way to sell original artworks? Example, if I ordered a bunch of frames and did individual paintings instead? I'm also not getting seen enough on the socials I'm posting too, how's Twitter (x) for art sellers?? And, just for context my artworks are spooky cozy Halloween theme. But I know there are all year Halloween folks like me out there, who will spare a glance. I just can't find them. Any suggestions, opinions or help?

Thank you! I really appreciate your advice. I think I'll try this, and then maybe upload more listings and see where it goes from there
I'd zero in on the pricing question! Since that's the most fixable thing here. Bundling two sizes into one $12 purchase is quietly hurting you because it muddies the value and caps your margin. Sell one size per listing at one price & offer the larger size as a separate variant at its own price, so the person who wants bigger pays for bigger. And don't be shy about pricing frame-ready prints a little higher! Cheap can read as lower quality to someone who can't hold it. On prints vs originals, it's not either/or, the strong setup is prints as the affordable entry and a few originals as the premium anchor that makes the prints look like a steal.
