Wow Mon, that's fantastic! Congrats!

We hit our 15th sales in this shop yesterday, small victory but I'm going with it :D

[dorsetclothing]

Thanks Kelly! It's been an insane day. I posted up some new stock I knew people would like, but the amount of orders and views are the best I've ever had. Hope this exposure means more sales than just today!

And yay 15 sales! :D

I just passed $10,000 in sales for 2012!

(It is the total of my 2 stores on Etsy)

I was so close last week and I kept looking at my numbers. My husband warned me that HE would make the sale - just to get me away from the computer LOL

Now I am planning my goals for 2013... :O) Yahoo :O)

[littlechampart]

I know it's not much, but I just realized that I have not had a single day with 0 views so far in December.
Since I just reopened my shop a month ago and only have 25 items listed so far - I think that's pretty good :)

Now if only I could get a SALE! haha. They will come, I'm sure of it!

[Former_Member]

Wow, $10k is awesome and is my goal for 2013, congrats!!!!

Don't worry Ash! Just keep adding and tweaking and views will keep going up!! Keep up the great work, congratulations!

[Former_Member]

27 Orders and $335.74 in sales since I opened shop in November!

I think $10K is a ways off, but I'm pretty proud of how I've done so far. When I add in craft fairs and my own website, I've sold about $775 in items so far this year. (I opened the independent website about a month before my Etsy Shop)

[Former_Member]

I was and still am so excited to be featured on a blog!

Doing a giveaway through the blog, and got a bunch of facebook "likes". I am so burnt out at work, I feel like I'm getting a little closer to being able to quit my day job!...=)

[whitebarnmercantile]

My etsy shop has turned 'official'! I now own Meyer Textile Company LLC and I'm so pumped!

[Former_Member]

Ashley and Joy, that's great! My goal is a little more modest. It sounded cooler before I read yours. I am over 1000 favorites now in my shop! Pretty good since I just opened in November :)

[Former_Member]

1000 favorites is great!!!...:), congrats!!!

[Former_Member]

Woohoo for 1000 Faves, that is awesome!!!!


I just got my 700th sale!!!!!!

[dorsetclothing]

Congrats Amy and Jacque!
I'm just behind you Jacque at 690 sales, do you think I'll be lucky and make those last 10 in the next day? One can hope!

[Former_Member]

Congrats Amy, Joy and Ashley!

Wow Jacque... that's fantastic!! Congrats hon!

ooo we'll go pimp you out Mon ;) A big team push might get you there :D

[Former_Member]

Thanks so much Mon & Kelly!!!

You never know Mon!! I think it can be done!!! I'm also thinking of having a New Year's Organizing sale to boost sales, = D

[Former_Member]

Thanks everyone for the congratulations and support! 700 sales is amazing! I can't even imagine. LOL I agree we can get Mon to 700 by years end with a little help from her friends here!

[dorsetclothing]

Aww thanks for your help guys! Sadly I didn't make it, it's well into jan 1st over here. But I doubled my dec revenue from last year exactly, to the dollar! That was enough to make me happy.

[Former_Member]

First of all, I want to congratulate EVERYONE on their year and thier accomplishments! Being an entrepreneur ain't easy.

I'm celebrating too. I did not make my sales goal, and I am a few short of my facebook goal, but.... this year I....
(1) Survived a heart attack and major surgery
(2) Lived through and survived the loss of my husband's income for the third time in as many years
(3) Got through my husband's mental breakdown and subsequent diagnosis of manic depression without loosing my own mind

Considering all of that, I cannot complain about the sales I've had this year, or the number of people following me on Facebook. Its been an amazing year!

I hope you all have a wonderfully blessed and exceedingly prosperous 2013!

[dorsetclothing]

I hope you have a much better 2013, Cherise. I'm sure you've come out of 2012 realising just how strong a woman you are after all you've been through!

[ThoughtfulRoseSupply]

I hit 500 sales today! It took me about 14 months. On the one hand, 500 sales is exciting, but on the other, I'm thinking that in order for me to hit my income goals for 2013, I will have to sell twice that much. Can I sell 1000 skeins of yarn in 2013? I don't know, but I'm going to try. :)

[Former_Member]

I want to focus on the small things today, such as me for example having listed an average of two items each day these past four days. If I continue at this pace I'll have around 70 items in my shop by the end of January, thus giving me at least a chance at being seen and heard out there on Etsy. It's exciting!

[Former_Member]

Congrats on all the accomplishments!

Step by step we are all reaching for the stars!

i celebrate every sale that i have - small number of sales but i've just recently opened my shop.

working full time doesn't give me much time to just sit and crochet but i have a hard time sitting still and not picking up my hook.

i wish i could make a living from orders and selling my creations on etsy. i would love to stay home and be my own boss. =) i have a dream to own a brick and mortar place and be able to help artists sell their creations and be able to make their work their day jobs. =)

i'm thankful that i have my health and my husband has his health and we both have incomes. i work in the medical field and i'm so aware of many people's health and income struggles so i am very thankful and celebrate those things. =)
