My goal is to double my income. I have worked on inventory, pic, new items, quality of my merchandis and now it is time for me to improve my sales !!. Having a shop with so many items is great but also a big investment. So hopefully it all works out

We are creating a whole new line of cloth activity and look books to add to our inventory.

I purchased a new digitizing software program and computer with more memory to store my designs to help the process go faster and work more efficient.

Work on photos, SEO and getting into the baby/ toddler market to help make more sales in our shop.

I just opened my shop in February and it a while to get a sale but now I have been doubling my orders each month so I hope that continues for a few months! I would love to start making enough to only work part time plus etsy or even just etsy!

Hello there! I opened my shop in March this year, therefore, it is too early to set any goals. Will work this year to see how are things going and what I can achieve. Certainly will see how many sales I can achieve and if it is worth to keep a shop here.

I have been putting benchmarks and goals throughout this journey. I would like to get to be number 3 on Etsy this year... But it is a steep and hard climb. The higher up you are the harder it is to get to the next step. On May 25th I became number 9 - with over 39,000 sales. To achieve the next steps I would have to double the sales.... Whew... well we shall see how this goes... Congrats to everyone on their goals and keep on achieving them.

I opened my shop a year ago now and slowly growing. I'm hoping to hit 100 sales before the end of this year. Currently at 28 :)

[CaptivatedxArt]

I just opened my shop so I'm hoping even just for a few sales and I'll be happy. I really just enjoy the process and sales are the cherry on top.

[Former_Member]

Hey there! I opened my shop only one week ago. So, I'm hoping to reach you with my creations.

[CaptainLulo]

I have always wanted to run an Etsy store, so it's here finally and I can't wait to have my first sale! My goals for 2016 are to get some sales and join a few craft fairs. I have always been afraid to start, so this year I aim to pick up my courage and put myself out there! Best of luck to all who are new! :)

[lisajewelry1]

My goal is to have more items. Coming up with new items as well as adding new fragrance.

Starting off with a small shop in my area. Putting aside funds for first 6 months.

doing more in my city to market my products.

[Former_Member]

Since I have a new shop, my goal is simple, SELL!

[Former_Member]

My goals this year to help pay my house bills and the rest will go towards the charity to make houses, hospitals, roads and schools in Nepal. It is little bit too much to dream but would love to dream !!!!

[Former_Member]

My goal is to be an inspiration to people that understand the power of thought.

[TopFabric]

I just opened my shop almost 3 weeks ago and have 7 sales so far!

At Top Fabric we specialize in designer upholstery fabric for wholesale prices.

My goals for 2016 are to make 7 sales a day by December. Is it possible??

[TakamiCrafts]

My goal is selling more items! I hope I can create a lot of items people love.

[Former_Member]

I would like to become more involved with selling and doing business online. There is still a lot I need to learn to be confident enough to be able to do this.

[Former_Member]

Hi everyone, I'm very new to selling my hand-made items so I guess my goal would be to have them well received by those who purchase them :)

When I know they are popular within the market (hopefully they will be) I intend to branch out a little with my other hand made products that compliment my hand made fairy doors - fingers crossed for 2016!! :)

[Former_Member]

I HAVE MANY;
1. HAVE A FULL REBRAND OF MY ETSY SHOP
2. CREATE A FACEBOOK PAGE (DONE) https://www.facebook.com/TANGERINE62/
3. GET SOME SALES...

I wrote down my goals at the beginning of 2016. My short term (3 months) goal was to have my shop up and running, design a first small cohesive line of textiles and reach 2k followers on IG. Made it by the end of march! Hoping to reach my end-of-year goals too. That would be a business that can pay for itself (I had only 2 sales so far, both outside of etsy) and reach 5k followers on IG. Doable?

G'day from Australia! Having just opened my shop, my goal is to list more of my work and hopefully make a sale!! 😀
