Set a Goal for June

[#1]

Hi there,

Setting a goal (no matter how small) can help you accomplish more. 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. For example, this month my goal is to work on my Etsy shop for at least one hour a week. Might sound minor, but those hours will add up!

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

Happy June!

Hello -- I started this shop in 2008 based on an idea and my love for vintage religious medals and crosses. I have way too much inventory but I can't stop searching for items to add the the shop collection. Last year, I started with revenue goals, surpassed my plan so upped it in December. I know my monthly revenue target and it equates to about 40 orders a month. I just reached May's goal and I'm a little behind this month but fingers crossed! My passion is searching for custom requests and along the way, find items for my personal collection. I LOVE Etsy!

I'm Mindy from Ohio, and I've been actively selling since June 2012!

My goal for June (historically my busiest month!) is to get 5 new listings up each week. This is part of my larger goal to triple my offerings by March 1st.

I'd also LOVE to hit the 2000 sales mark, though methinks I may come up a little short. But you never know. :P

My June goal is to work hard and build a inventory for the booth I am doing early July.
And to slow down working on my phone and more on the computer

I've got a lot going on outside of Etsy, (prepping for shows, restocking retailers, custom orders) but by the end of the month, I'm going to shoot for having 200 listings in my shop! Hopefully, reaching that goal will be a catalyst to making more Etsy sales :)

I'm Diana from Seattle and I've been here for ~2.5 years. Good luck to all in reaching your goals this month!

I just wish, after a year, I could sell more than two things. It is sooooo discouraging. I'm beginning to feel like I should just stop.

He are my June goals listed from about with my progress so far:

1. at least 100 listings -- currently I have 85 -- I now have 92 and am working on another item right now.
2. 21 sales -- double my current sales -- I have 4 sales so far this month (only 17 more to go!).
3. Overcome selling internationally -- I finished setting my shop and listings up last night to accept orders from Canada. Once I feel comfortable with that, I'll move on to more countries.
4. I added this goal after I set my original 3 above goals -- make more one-on-one potential contacts to promote my shop. I have been talking people about my business and passing out 1 to 3 or more business cards per day.

I am working very hard at trying to meet these goals. I think I'm on track.

High goals for sure, but I'm determined to work hard!

[BranchBellDesigns]

Hello ... I am Jane from New Jersey. I have been on Etsy since 2011.

My goal for June is to go through my shop and reshoot items where the photography is subpar. I have learned some new photography skills so I am excited about trying them out. I have about five items that I need to shoot again. Got to keep the photography aspect strong!

I recently hit a goal of reaching 100 items in my shop, BranchBellDesigns (two sold today - yay!) and now I want to go through and make sure the tags are going to pull in viewers from various search engines.

[EyeCandyQuilted]

My goal for June is to update my pattern fronts with all my new photography. Time to make friends with Photoshop!

[Former_Member]

My June goals are to
1. Add 4 or 5 new listings. I'm on my way to 50, but that will take longer than a month.
2. Spend at least 10 minutes on Etsy every day -- teams, promoting, fluffing my shop, and so on.

I opened my shop last September and have already been through a bit of a re-think. There's a lot to learn about Etsy and selling and what people want, but it's fun too.

My goal is to get more likes for my facebook page:

I am just starting my shop Vintage Lindy Lou. My goal is to get more of my inventory listed. This involves figuring out pricing and shipping costs. I have made progress by designing and printing business tags for items sold and a new shop banner. Hopefully all this will get my shop noticed!

I'm Tracy from Basingstoke, Hampshire. I set up my Etsy shop last year but have only just found the confidence to start using it. Now I really want to make it a success.

Thanks for having such a great online community because it helps people like me be brave enough to put my work out there x

[AzureBracelet]

Hi everyone! I am Andreea and my goal for June is to replace the pictures of my producst with better ones. I realised the pictured don't do justice to my items, so I guess I need to put some more effort into it :)
And hopefully that will add to my monthly goal of selling at least 1 product :)

[Former_Member]

My name is Amber, and I opened my shop in November of 2013. A few of my goals for June are:

1. Finish several projects I recently started,, then be ready to start new designs by next month. Almost done with this one :-)
2. Revise some of my listing info, pictures, etc to make each item stand out
3. I would love to get at least 2 sales the month. I've had 15 sales so far and would like to slowly build my customer base :-)
4. Finish listing all of the projects I have finished, so I will have 200 items listed by the end of the month

Seems like a lot, but most of it goes hand in hand. I tend to give myself far too much lag time between starting, finishing, and listing an item.....so this will help get my routine in order!

[Former_Member]

Hey guys! I am part of Etsy since 2013, but a week ago I have decided to showcase some if my work. My goals for June are:
1. Make my work visible to as many as possible (that probably includes a bit of SEO learning)
2. List more items and open a few different categories, since it's not only digital print what I do.
3. Keep a balance between work and my new life as a mother (with a 5 months old son)
4. Make my first sale
5. Enjoy my time here
6. Meet new amazing people and interact more often
7. Get my boyfriend involved in this journey
8. Help Etsy's sellers by providing more seller oriented services.
