I have 7 sales so far.
Not bad actually but still far below my target. I found some jewelry sellers have 7 sales a day. Ok... don't look at others' record next time.

Re: How's your business in April?

I've done better in April than in March--both in views and in sales--but I'm still not happy with it. My profit is way down because most of my sales this month have been supply items, which don't bring in as much money as crafted items. But a sale's a sale either way and it all still helps. I just hope it picks up here pretty quick, because it's not sustainable as it is :(

Re: How's your business in April?

I started April off with a bang. Lots of views, hearts, treasuries and sales and this past week and a half......dead.....

Re: How's your business in April?

It was great! 46 orders, 863 hearts, and 8150 views. That's about a 25% increase from last month. I'm hoping to repeat this success in May, time to get busy!

Re: How's your business in April?

Sales much improved in April, as March was dreadful! Interesting to see how some shops are up, some down. I don't try to compare with other shops on Etsy, as we sell different kinds of items, at different prices. If a booth has 7 sales of low-priced items, you can't equate with a shop which carries mostly high-end, high-priced items.

Re: How's your business in April?

This is the thing I can't understand. I get lots of views but none from any buyers. Look at this

Past 30 days:

Views: 4,001
1,326 shop views
2,675 listing views

Favorites: 127
31 shop favorites
96 listing favorites

Orders:
0

:(

Re: How's your business in April?

For me April has been great! My very first Etsy sale was made 30 days ago... as of today I have 5 sales and 3 custom orders in the works!

I'm a very happy Etsy seller... working to improve my sales and shop every day.

Re: How's your business in April?

I'm sitting at 8 sales for the month so far. Still hopeful one or two (or more) will sneak in before midnight tomorrow. :)

Five sales in April. :) Going to ship two of those off tomorrow. Opened in January and have 11 total. So, five of those this month makes me pretty happy. :)

Re: How's your business in April?

The beginning of the month for me was great, I actually managed 4 sales in one day which blew me away, but lately sales have really slowed down. I thought it would be different with Mother's Day approaching, but it's been almost dead.

Re: How's your business in April?

I've done better this month than last month and it's taught me some interesting things. 1. I need to list more handspun yarn because people are asking for it and willing to buy it. 2. I need to add more styles of knitting stitch markers. 3. I need to put more of my handmade soaps/lotions up.

I made my shop a very ecclectic mix of things and it seems to be doing well. (What I consider, doing well :) I know some shops multiple sales a day!)

March: Views: 2845 • Favorites: 637 • Orders: 21
April: Views: 2770 • Favorites: 714 • Orders: 25

I've changed around some of my listings to be better with SEO, but I'm still far from having a good SEO shop. I've also opened almost everything up to international shipping.

Re: How's your business in April?

Annie - has adding international shipping made a noticeable difference? I just mention that it's available and to contact me for details. I'm wondering if I really need to update the shipping for each listing.

My business has been terrible since opening in Jan. I've had two sales, and currently awaiting a custom order I made. It hasn't been good for me..

Re: How's your business in April?

I've made 4 sales this month which is actually pretty good for me. I opened my shop last August and it has been pretty slow on here so far but I know it takes a lot of hard work and patience so I'm sticking to it. My next sale will make 20 total.
