This is a great thread!

It took me a minute to think of my mile stones here, I don't even remember what I was doing 3 min ago let alone my milestones. lol

One is comming up soon, I'll be reaching a whooping 20 items in my shop, only 80 more to go till I get to the magic number of 100 :). I've made 12 sales, started a FB page and Twitter account yesterday, have done a wholesale order with a shop, have done a consignment with another shop and have almost been here a year, so things are really looking up.

I wish all many blessings on there shops with many more good milestones to come!

[Former_Member]

Oh yay Brandy!! Congratulations!!!! We celebrate big and small! So come and share no matter what!

That is great! How do you like consignment so far? I started with one shop and it's working out great and I have a meeting Thursday to do consignment with another shop. They're both local, so that's great. I hope to get a wholesale account this summer!

[Former_Member]

Woohoo! 41 sales to 3000 sales! :)
Worked really hard last month!
Will keep on making more new creations this month :)

I'm now at 20 items in my shop! So exciting as I've been working my fingers to the bone! Only 80 more to go till I reach the magic number of 100:)

But goals for April are to finish my Zodaic collection, revamp and redo my Arch Angel collection and add a few more peices to it. Also add a few more in my design your own collection. Hopefully that will give me another 26 peices to add, but will see.

Also this year when I get enough product I might try doing a craft fair or expanding and doing some more wholesale to shops or branching out to places other then etsy. I would also like to get up to 20 sales by the end of April and have some great new ideas for more items for my shop.

Baby steps so far, but I'm getting there!

I now have 143 items in my shop. Next milestone 150. 64 sales so far. Been slowing down in sales but hope they pick up again soon. Congrats to everyone on there achievements:)

[Former_Member]

I've had at least one sale a day for over two weeks now!!

When I opened my shop at the end of January, my VERY lofty goal was to have 100 sales by my birthday at the end of April...I'm currently sitting pretty with 76!!
Thinking of raising the goal to make it more of a challenge...

I know this sounds silly, but today I got back to a painting that I had started unsuccessfully 6 months ago. I felt inspired to go back to it today with much greater success. I'm happy I tried again!

[Former_Member]

Oh yay Lisa! That's great! And so true, sometimes you just need to step away until the inspiration comes back to you!

Jacque - 200 sales wow! Is this for your new shop...I am in AWE!!!

I just got the confirmation through for my first drop ship account with esty lingerie for five of my items...very excited and nervous!!

[Former_Member]

Thats awesome Jacque, congrats hon!!!

[Former_Member]

Tilly... drop shipping? That's against Etsy TOU's; and they can (and do usually) suspend/shut stores down for that!

[Former_Member]

Thank you ladies!!!! And Tilly that's great!!! How did you get this account?

[Former_Member]

Oh it's through Etsy? Yeah that is true. : (

[nearerthemoon]

Nope not through etsy.....It's called estylingerie (dot) com. Her name is Estelle - not trying to rip off etsy!!

The lovely owner approached me, I feel v. guilty I didn't have to do any leg work!

[nearerthemoon]

I'm starting to think the name could cause confusion though if you speedread it! Glad I don't have to promote my stuff there - she's very good with social media etc.
