My goals for 2017 is to keep growing my shop, get more orders and reach 100 sales by May! Whooo hoooo

[Former_Member]

Make more and more money :)

Save it all in my IRA!

That is my goal and only goal :)

[Former_Member]

My goal is to stay consistent with my shop. I plan to add more items to my shop and to sign up for craft shows to build my reputation on Etsy and in my community.

[Former_Member]

My goal is to build a good number of products for my shop, to work on product shots and to hit that first sale! My sister and I just started our easy jewelry about two weeks ago!

[Former_Member]

My goal is to get my first sale😭 Then I hope to grow and become better and hand making bracelets！

[Former_Member]

I guess the 2016 to be switched to 2017. Would be interesting to know what was achieved in 2016 compared to goals??

[Stylissh]

To get 5 sales a week.. Not sure if this will happen on Etsy will all the constant changes tho

[isewcute]

I agree with you Olga... a new thread for 2017 should have been started. :)

Nevertheless, my goal this year is to keep on running my shop while becoming a mom for the third time this spring. This will be the first time having an infant while operating a shop as my other two were already toddlers at the time I opened back in 2008.

Wish me luck!

[Former_Member]

I accomplished by first goal for 2017 - I opened my shop!

Now I'd like to add lots more products to it and get my first sale.

My long term goal is to have a stall at a craft fair - but I need to make many more things first.

My goal for 2017 is to get 100 sales and 100 items in my shop :)

We must move forward to 2017 and look to 2016 on the practices that can be improved toward our relationships and communication with our customers and clients.
I think that if the captain of this team recognized that it is a New Year 2017, we might feel like our participation as team members was appreciated and valued.
Just say'n

[TheRusticHome]

Well, seeing as it is now 2017 maybe the goal should be a current thread?

[KMalinkaVintage]

It's already 4th months of 2017

[AngelaGrahamPottery]

what are goals for 2017???

[TravelingThroughTime]

I am new and I know this is a high expectation but I would like to have 100 sales by years end. I opened the middle of March but only have 3 sales to date so I have a long long way to go.

[WoodVuk]

Hit 20 sales!!

[Former_Member]

Hi dear Etsy sellers,

My late goal for 2017 is getting some better pictures made for my jewelry with real people so people can see the item on someone. Also I would start personalized items by half of the year. Hope sales will go up again. It has been a little slow the first few months.

What about goals for 2017?

2016 is over and done with. :)

[CherilynNicole]

My goal for the rest of 2017 is to simplify my shop, taking out jewelry and supplies and just sticking with paper items; cards, tags, collages, drawings - anything paper related. I love paper.

I finally realized that I can't do it all and learn it all so I am sticking with what I know best. :)

[wolfmansmummy]

Hoping 2017 brings a pat on the head from etsy admin, like actually looking at what is pinned here- 2016 4 months in. Just sayin.

[LoosenedScrews]

I just want to have at least 5 sales a month, Something!

[Former_Member]

In 2016 my gol was 1 sale a month. Sadly I failed.

[Former_Member]

In 2016 I wanted to make 1 sale a day. Failed too.

[WoodVuk]

Just enjoy in what I'm making and maybe sell 10-20 products this year!
Good luck with the sales everybody!!!
