Re: What are your goals for 2016?

Hello to everybody!
I have many goals for 2016 and hopefully will be able to achieve most of them at least. As a beginner on Etsy first of all I will work on getting my relevancy much higher so people can find me. And of course I hope to find customers who will like my products and buy them.

I wish everybody to gain their goals :)

Re: What are your goals for 2016?

I have several goals for 2016. My main goal is to learn how to effectively market my shop. I've had several local sales (both before and after opening my etsy shop 2 weeks ago), and 1 non-local sale. I hope to find ways to improve my chances of showing up in searches.
Good luck to everyone! I hope you all reach your goals!

Get back on my feet so I can get back to what I love! I have oodles of different items to paint including beautiful bisque figurines, and wine bottles and glasses. Plus, so much vintage jewelry I still want to get listed. I hope to be listing some soon!

Re: What are your goals for 2016?

My goal for 2016 is to grow my small business and become with time financially independent. To have on Etsy at last one commission a month, at last 1 maybe 2 sales per month. My goal is to achieve and celebrate 100 sales this year. Also I'm planning to work on painting my first ever collection of paintings for exhibition purposes.
To produce series of themed home decor illustrations. To find steady stream of financial income and secure independence by finding job as an illustrator. Wishing everyone happy and prosperous 2016 😘❤️💋

Re: What are your goals for 2016?

Each day I decided to not get mad if I don't make a sale. By each day I work my best to get more favs or my views than the day before and hand out more cards and use all my skills to get known and just keep making jewelry because it just.... Makes me happy. Very few things I do, do that.

Re: What are your goals for 2016?

I think an important part of keeping goals is to check and see how you are doing to complete them. How often do you guys keep track of your progress?

Re: What are your goals for 2016?

My first goal is to get my SEO and photos in shape so I have a more welcoming shop. Then, I want to increase my products to 100 items. I would love to build this into a family business.... But since I have not had any sales YET...I'm not really a business.
