How many your first year?

[CollettasKitchenSink]

I have my first etsyversary coming up in April and was just wondering how many sales you made your first year.

Also how many years have you been selling on etsy?

Thanks,

A lot of work and struggling to get the sales.

I had about 30 in my first year, though I don't really count that as my first year of trying to be a real business person. I was mostly doing it as a hobby but it wasn't til last year I really tried turning my shop into something more.
I'd love to get past 50 sales before my second year (1 more to go - April 20th!)

I just opened this shop on the 11th, but my bath and body shop will be 1 year in April, I have 100 sales and do lots of offline selling.

I opened my shop in late Apri 2011l, but my first listing wasn't until a month or two later. I have 146 sales currently. I also do craft shows and custom orders for local buyers outside of Etsy. So I feel I'm doing all right, although I can always do better.

I really must be doing something wrong. My etsyversary was Jan 20 and I only have 25 sales. I would love to hit 200 sales by this time next year. Any suggestions?

[SignGuysAndGal]

Opened in February last year, first sale in June and currently have 35 sales.

I opened Jan. 24th so I just had my first year anniversary this week and I completed 66 sales.

My Etsyversary is not until 13 July, so far I am at 183 sales. Over the moon and hoping to get to 500 by then! Wish me luck!! ;-)

I opened in April of 2011 as well but didn't list anything until late May of the same year. I have 117 sales : )

[TheAmethystDragonfly]

I'm only 6 months in, but only 9 sales so far. Dunno if I can get to some of the numbers people are mentioning on here within the next 6 months, but I sure hope so! :)

[BallardHandmade]

Wow how inspiring to hear about such great first year sales!! I've been on here almost a year and have only had 2 :(

[CollettasKitchenSink]

I'm at 391. My low goal for a year is 400, medium goal 450 and great expectations is 500 :)

I'll let you know if it happens!

I listed my first item exactly one year ago:) I am 90 sales so far, but I have to say my sales really started to pick up since October, and I had 22 sales in January so far, so you just have to believe:)

My etsyversary was January 10th and my goal was 250 sales. I got to 249! Soooo close!

I hope I sell more soon, although I mIght change my prices if people say that they are too high/low

[MVDesignInk]

I will be 1 year March 7th with 58 sales up to date.

I opened my shop last year in January but my shop was closed from Sept-Dec. I have 597 sales in 9 months.

My ETSYVERSARY.....8th July 2011...17 sales......

[Former_Member]

155 the first year. Jan 2011 through end of Dec 2011.
But remember it is not all about the numbers. Some shops sell items that will out-sell others, jsut because of price and and popularity.

[PearlesPainting]

I had 200 sales my first year.
My one Year Etsy-versary was January 15th.
I opened my shop in 2008 but listed my first item January 2011.

I started actively listing in my shop in October, and have 3 sales so far. I feel a little disappointed, but know my camera is severely lacking, and my pictures do not do items justice. I would love to be selling 3 or more items per week!!!
