February Goals

Last month I posted an entry here about goals and a lot of people responded to it pretty well, I know that the monthly goal for January helped me keep focused, it was a really awesome month for my store and I'm very excited about February.

So - are you all gamed for the new month? who's got any goals that they want to share?

Here are mine:

1. I started working on the minor arcana deck of tarot cards, it's a huge project, 56 illustrations! I've made 10 of them already. I hope to finish them all in February, but I'm not sure it's doable, so my goal is to finish, but my realistic goal is to finish half - 28 cards. Anything above that would be wonderful.

2. I'm going to try and get at least one treasury each week. Also, and not dependent on me - I would love to be in at least 2 treasuries this month. It's such a good feeling when other people include you in there's

3. oh, and if possible, front page would be much appreciated!

4. As for sales, I ended January with an amazing number - 27! I'm not sure i can match it in February, but I hope so, the past week and a half were really really slow with only 3 sales (one of which haven't even been paid for yet). my goal then, is to make 20 sales, that would make me really happy.

5. I started a new craft and Etsy blog, so I hope to write more in it and start doing other shops reviews as well as at least one tutorial.

6. Also, over coming a mental barrier I have and post at least one painting \ fine art piece.

7. list one item every day - that always seem to push the store better then anything else.

I guess I'm up for a busy month!

We are doing what cutifruity does. We do list on Etsy every day and go to the forums. We are new to the whole blog thing but are trying to get that going. Good luck to all.; ▶ Reply to This

My first goal was to get a treasury, and I managed it yesterday ..YAY!!
My second goal is to get a blog started and update it regularly ... took the first steps today.
My third goal is to list little and often on Etsy.

good luck with your shops and goals, everyone!; ▶ Reply to This
