Reached 100 Sales!! What Goals Have You Met?

[Former_Member]

I'm so excited to say that our shop has finally reached 100 sales! I remember having our first sale and how exciting that was, and I can wait until we reach even greater heights. What goals have you met lately or hope to meet soon?

Congrats on your 100 sales. I made it to 150 items a few days ago and hope to make it to 150 sales by the end of the year

Congrats! 100 is exciting! I reached 1700 sales two weeks ago. At this point though, I've got my eye on 2000.

Well done.........congratulations to you all. I opened my shop at end of March, made my first sale over three weeks ago and yes I was very excited but my poor customer has still not received it. The wedding she wanted the item for has been and gone so of course she wants her money back.Its a learning curve....I can handle that.
My goal for August was to increase my little list to 50 of my handmade fashion accessories and garments....and.....I did it today so I am thrilled. I work hard every day so I am sure the sales will come. I am learning more every day.

That is awesome, congratulations!! Since I just opened, my sales goal was just to get my first sale in August. I've gotten two sales so far! :) My big goal though is to increase my listings, so I've been busy between local orders and creating new things to list.

Wow that is super awesome! well done you! Think my goal is just to try and keep listing as many items as I can. Also need to get more of my Christmas items listed....not easy when pregnant with a toddler and suffering from SPD, but i am determined to get there!

I love everyone's determination! Although 100 seemed so far even 5 months ago, I can now see that just having determination and a good work ethic really pays off eventually.

For me 100 sales still is too far away.
Today I have made my first sale.I'm very happy.
I opened my shop in April 2014.

Congratulations! My goal was 100 sales the first year (did it!), 500 sales the second year (did it!), and now 1000 sales my third year (I'm at 989, so I'm pretty sure it will happen!) The momentum seems to build, so hang in there, newbies!

I finally made my 100 sales. I am so excited to do orders from my customers and see the type of ideas they like.

Today i reached having 200 listings in my shop, which was one of my goals for this year, yay!

My husband the woodworker has made his first three items (suggested by me and sold in my shop) that are "on spec," instead of things requested by clients of his brother's building company. He sold his first in just a week!

This is his dream -- to be on his own and not riding on his brother's coattails. And I'm enjoying that he's kinda surprised that I was right about what to make. ;-)

WOW - all of your posts and items are extremely impressive. I am so inspired by all of the amazing shops and artists on Etsy. I started my shop in Oct 13. My initial goal was to sell 30 items. I thought that would be a miracle. The first few months were very...trying. I have always been very creative - in my world - but then all of the sudden I was around other AMAZING creative minds....and I realized very quickly I had to step it up and out of the box. Find the niche and roll with it.....because I have several "sections" in a wide array of product line I decided to start slow, so I did bows - for dogs, children and womens hair accessories. Now I have slowly added home stuff, party hats and for the holidays I will be making small gift items/bags/baskets. BUT....I am now at 96 sales. And almost in one month and 15 days....will be my one year mark. WHAT AN AMAZING journey/lesson and experience. Due to Etsy I have not only learned, challenged myself but I am learning more about e commerce, SEO, customer service, etc. What a valuable life lesson and a dream come true for creative minds like us. You all are amazing and I am honored to be within a group of such awesome, gifted folks.

Wow! I'm no where near that yet....but pressing on. Kiana and Terri - love the shop. I know jewellery is a difficult market but this all stands out and is really nice! You're in my faves! I'm currently on 36 sales so I wonder what the September to October season will bring....!

[Former_Member]

Congratulations, what an awesome feeling that must be! I just started out and have yet to make that first sale. I must say it is pretty nerve wracking and feels like it will never happen.

I watch my views and favourites like a hawk and keep wondering if I'm doing the right things. Fingers crossed that it just takes time.

Good luck and congratulations to all of you successful sellers.

How you did it, Congratulations!!
i am just with my first one :P

[thelavenderpear]

Wow.. it's almost been a year and I've sold 9 things! lol… not exactly your booming business and far from being able to retire… it's been fun and I think, I'm learning… I'm adding lots more items. Any thoughts are welcome. I can't even imagine selling 100 things….a goal for next year!!!

[Former_Member]

Congrats! to everyone! I am waiting for my big 50. this is especially exciting for me because half of those were made in the last 2 months so I hope to keep momentum going! Good Luck to all

[Untwistedsister]

I still get excited at each sale but remember the thrill of the first and reaching 100. OMG... I couldn't believe it. Congratulations to you for your milestone. You won't believer how much quicker the second 100 will come. I hit 600 this year and this last month was my third best ever. I don't keep specific goals but just keep trying to improve all the time.

[StyleJunkieAntiques]

I made it to 100 sales! I am now gearing up for the holiday season.

Thanks for all the supportive and encouraging information . It keeps me

motivated.

[MysticalRaindrops]

I am creating new items, such as childrens clothing, in hopes of getting to the 100 sold mark for the holidays.
