Happy New Year Everybody! My goals for 2016 are to create more unique and personalized creations and become more established as an Etsy seller. I LOVE Etsy, I have lots of fun from it, everyone is great.

Improve photos and SEO, add more items, streamline my knitwear lines, and really make some sales.

[CathyLDesigns]

First of all, Happy 2016 everyone! May it be successful for us all.

My first goal is to add GREATLY to my inventory. That is easily done by committing to adding at least 5 new items a week. This will/should have an outcome of more sales.

My second goal is learning to digitize. I enjoy monograming and embroidery, so this is a natural segway.

My third goal is fine tuning the social network avenues. Not sure I am taking full advantage of these areas.

My goal for this 2016 is to triple my sales $$$!!!

[TheWelshCrafter]

My goal is to try and stay in business :(

For 2016 I'm going to:

Feature seasonal and some holiday items on page 1 of my shop.
List everything that's been waiting for its turn to be listed!
Re-take most of my photos, and update my ads and shipping.

Happy New Year to you everyone!!

My goals for 2016 are:

1 - Retake photos for most of my listings.

2 - Continue to add more items to my shop.

3 - Hopefully doubling my sales from last year.

Happy New Year and good luck to everyone!

To make more money than I did last year. Also, to keep growing as a person! :)

Happy, healthy and prosperious new year to everyone!

Our goals for this year are to get into making the shirts that the bars and small shops in our community are looking for! We want traffic to our shop and we want to give out all our business cards! It is a great feeling to order something for your shop, whether it is (for us) stocking our tshirts, getting a new ink color or getting some new business cards and stickers! Looking forward to what the new year throws our way!

[Former_Member]

I want 2016 to be a hopeful year for all on here. My goals are to increase the number of items that I sell including adding more hand carved items like business card holders and to branch out into some mountain photo coasters that are in the works and look really nice. On a personal note, I'm really trying to get my shop to the point that it can bring in enough monthly income that I can cut back on my 2nd job and have more time with my wife and kids. Don't know if that is a dream or a goal. Maybe both.

Here's to a great 2016 for all of us.

[CCsSoapinaPouch]

Thank you very much for letting us know about these these new resources available in the seller's handbook to help us achieve our goals for 2016. My goal is to eventually have the ability to leave my day job and work for myself full-time. Until then for 2016 I plan to increase my inventory, update my descriptions and photos and learn better marketing strategies.

[Former_Member]

My goal for 2016 is to increase my sales! Having just started off with my etsy store, I have a lot to learn in my store. I hope I am able to create more unique and new craft products, and in the process challenge my abilities to go above and beyond myself. So, hope for a great learning curve this year!

[Former_Member]

Happy New Year, all!

This year, I will considerably expand my apothecary collection by adding more varieties of my naturally fragranced soy candles, add my luxe body creams to the shop (already developed and for sale outside of Etsy), and develop a new line of room fragrances.

Oh, and I aim to get my tax ID # so I can be more legit.

Best of luck to all in reaching your 2016 goals :)

[Former_Member]

My number one goal is to increase my sales. I am also adding patterns to my shop, increasing social media presence, creating a positive brand for myself,and expanding my designs and available prints. I am also working on a web site.

[NeatoKeen]

I need to find more inventory for my vintage shop. I'd like to consistently have 300 items listed. I need to regularly post on social media and I'd like to reach out to blogs and magazines this year. I always need to tweak my SEO and improve my photography. Selling on Etsy is fun but lots of work!

[silpionelf]

My main goals for 2016 are to keep increasing my sales and visibility on Etsy. I will also be expanding my shop with new items, gathering more followers and networking on Instagram. I would also love to be a Featured Seller on the Etsy front page too!

Here's to a prosperous 2016 for us all! <3
