Goal Update


On March 13th, I wrote a post about my first business goal -- 50 sales through my Etsy shop by September 13th.  At that time, I had 13 sales already, so needed 37 more.  I'm now halfway to my 6 month deadline, and my Etsy sales total is 26.  That means I've made 13 sales in the past 3 months, so my average sales per month have increased slightly -- it was just under 3 per month at the time I set my goal, and now it works out to just over 4 per month.  I've also sold a few things off Etsy but I'm not counting those (unless it gets to September and I get desperate ;) ).

So I'm still hopeful I'll meet my goal, hopefully the sales-per-month curve keeps growing.  I'll keep Facebooking and Tweeting and creating.  Next on my list is an off-Etsy website. 

What are your three- or six-month goals and plans for your creative biz?
