Set a Goal for July

[#1]

Hi there,

Setting a goal (no matter how small) can help you accomplish more. Last month we invited sellers to set a goal and share it with the team. Take a look at last month's thread ( https://www.etsy.com/teams/5002/etsy-success/discuss/14658006) where you'll see many sellers reporting they reached their goals or made some progress they felt good about.

Take a moment to settle on your goal and then share it here. By writing it down and sharing with others, you'll reinforce your commitment to it.

A goal can be anything from listing a new item to reaching your 100th sale.

When sharing your goal for July, please introduce yourself and share how long you've been selling on Etsy.

I'll start. I have been working at Etsy for 3 years, and I've been on the Seller Education team for the last year. I just moved so my goal for July is to set up a studio space in the new place. What about you?

I am setting a goal to reach 800 sales this month. I currently have 788.

Hi I have been selling on Etsy for almost a year! Goal for July is to add two new items to the shop each week!

[TwistsnGems]

I started my Etsy shop on Feb 27 this year, and so far have 4 sales. My goal for July is to add 3 sales this month which will be 1 step up from my best month.

I am learning to go with the flow here on Etsy...I hope to make at least one or two sales this month...I am still learning all the ropes and taking in more information and tips from other sellers!
Wishing the best to everyone!

My goal is to get my first sale, get the Instagram marketing going, and get two new item categories up!

I just started selling on Etsy last month. I'm still in the process of setting up my shops. I just joined this forum. My goal for July is to finish setting up both of my shops and to send the links out to my friends, family and contacts.

My goal is to make a few more sales of course.. but really it is to inspire others!

my goal is to have my jewelry featured in many blogs, and feature creations by other sellers,
as well as increasing my sales of gold jewelry.

[CherishedSaints]

I have a set revenue goal for each month. Missed two months but overall am still good!

[3friendssignature]

I've been an Etsy seller for 2 years now. I want to get a schedule to tend my Etsy shop DAILY. I've been lucky to sell without trying much... now it's time to get busy!

[CarriageOnCherry]

I've been on Etsy since October, 2013.

My goals for July...
1.) To sell a total of 35 items (currently at 27)
2.) To receive 5 reviews - fingers crossed
3.) Learn more about SEO's
4.) Participate in more blogs

Continue the energy of sales - positive thoughts!!

Hello! I've been selling on etsy since 2006. My goal is to get 400 items listed this month, currently at 255. So I am off to take more photos!

[JasperCup]

I've been on Etsy since February 10th. My goal for July is to make the time to list the items I've been procrastinating with because they need to be photographed and/or require a fair amount of research to describe and price well. I also would like to make time each day to focus on the three teams I have joined, as I have not been able to manage to do this.

Hi! I've been on Etsy for 3 years, but only "serious" about it for 1. :) My goals for July:

1) Finish and post 2 new crochet patterns. (I have these designed, I just need to write them up, take pics and post!)
2) Post listings for several new beanies that I designed last spring. I have the pictures taken and everything, I just haven't posted them yet!
3) Finish organizing the craft corner in my bedroom in my new apartment. I'm excited to have so much more space and set up a little "studio" for myself.

[Former_Member]

1. offer sewing/embroidery workshops
2. list supplies
3. put five more items in my shop
4. designing new products
5. clean out my studio closet (hardest task on the list)

These are for July and August. My etsy shop is still new, started listing products this spring and learning something new every time i list a new item. Wish i had opened an etsy shop years ago!

Usually it's make something new everyday but since I've been a bit overwhelmed with work and I'm at the end of my pregnancy - I am running out of energy! My goal for July is to make three new things a week instead of 5. Giving myself a bit of a break ;)

[Former_Member]

My goal is to contact at least 4 shops about consignment/wholesale deals. :D

[AngelaMillarSoulArt]

Hi everyone,

I'm an absolute newbie and I opened my store on June 25th and my goal for July is to make sure I've set up my store the very best I can from photos to tags to any other info that I either need to add or remove. Also to have listed at least 2 of my original paintings.

Looking forward to being part of the team!

Hello! I started my business and opened my Etsy store in February this year. We have just moved house so I am getting adjusted to the new space and catching up with sewing my designs. My goals for July are to get my first sale, to keep learning and growing, and to be consistent with regular listings and social media posts.

[Former_Member]

I want to list 20 new items every day for the next ten days.

My shop is on a Christmas in July sale from today till July 20th.

Use coupon CIJ2014 for 20% discount.

[Former_Member]

I already surpassed my 50 listing goal for this month so I should challenge myself to list 100 by Aug 1st.

And a sale would be nice :)

[Former_Member]

Hi! I started my Etsy shop on April 7, 2014. I sell handmade fused glass and glass beaded jewelry. My goal for July is to have more sales; so far I have had one sale, to keep learning and improving myself and to add 5 more listings this month.
