So far so good. Just hope it continues!

I'm really please with the way May started out!
I hope it's only the beginning of a great month!

May 1st, I sold my very first quiet book proto about 12hrs after listing it! I was so freakin' happy, you have no idea! It's the item I'm most proud of! Gotta make some more!

Then this morning, I woke up to a second sale! Really happy! After only 2 months on Etsy, 2 sales in a few days is really exciting for me!

April was so busy that I was hoping to be able to keep up with custom orders. I haven't had one sale in May. It's really wierd. But I know it'll pick up again. I have a coupon code now till Mother's Day to save 15% off of anything in my shop.

April was really slow for me so I am hoping that May is going to be much better :). No sign of sales yet but views are up so that is positive.

11 orders so far, many of them multiples! :)

May Has been Great! Hoping its a new trend. Had 8 orders this week, which is a record for me.

Hey great to know that so many of you have been doing great in early May...

I sold my 3rd print today since opening my shop at the end of April :-)

Dead here, April was my best month so far, but haven't had a sale since the 22nd. Just spending the time working on getting my listings up, hope to get to 50 by the end of the month.

It's great to see people doing well this month.

April was the first month I had no sales for the past 6 months and but I had a huge increase in views, and my newest items have been quite popular so I am optimistic. :)

Mid April was slow for me but picked up in the final week.

My views have increased to between 600 - 800 each day (which I think is good?)

So far this month I've had 5 sales, 7 more to go before I hit 300 sales!

Good luck for a successful May everyone!

April was a pretty good month, but May has been incredibly slow. Hardly any views and very few sales. I'm staying positive though and hope it perks up soon for everyone :)

[Former_Member]

I've had three sales so far this month, which is huge for me! I'm not sure what is going on, but I love it!

[BeazersGarden]

Incredibly slow, but I have been offline with a new day job, resulting in definite decrease in views and sales!

[Former_Member]

Fabulous - 13 sales already!!

I had 11 sales the first 6 days of April, 4 sales in the first 6 days of March and 4 sales in the first 6 days of February.

Yay for growth!!

1 sale here on etsy and 2 sales on another online site.

[Former_Member]

not so good so far this month.. Last month was much better. Hoping to get better with sales by end of this month. Got many convos regarding custom orders. But none of them turned to actual sale..

[Former_Member]

Some interest but zero sales :(.......I have more items listed then before too....

[MyLittleWoodShop2]

May is going very good.....

[Former_Member]

I had 1 sale in April, as for May well nothing so far :(

[Former_Member]

No business, but I don't promote. Use my shop mostly as my website to show people my work. Love to sell, but competition makes it impossible unless I constantly promote, which I don't have the time to do. My sales come from shows and local shops.

[Former_Member]

So far so good - I've made a sale everyday this month except May 2, so I'm happy :) No worries for ya'll - I'm sure it will pick up!!

[Former_Member]

Crickets for 3 monthes. The occasional tumbleweed stops by to make fun of the crickets for staying. Thank heaven for the Farmers Market I do on Saturdays. Making great sales there.

[Former_Member]

No sales last month which was my first month now into my second month and no sales yet. Just working through it and exercising some patience.

[Former_Member]

been very slow compare to April. Any reason?
