Four years ago when I started selling on Etsy as a newbie I made a grand total of $1025 for the year. Last year I topped $10,000 in sales. Sure, it isn't enough to make a living 100% on Etsy just yet. But I have managed to increase my income almost by double each year. It would be nice to double last years income this year but I don't know that is possible. Still, I will try.
How do you measure YOUR Etsy success? I would really like to hear what you have to say. Tomorrow I will be continuing the Etsy Shop Makeover Challenge Series. Have you done what I challenged you to do?
My sales are up over January of last year, though 2013 was lower than 2012 overall. I think I measure success by doing better, month by month.
ReplyDeletePostage really is a problem, though. I'm usually amazed when I get an overseas customer.
I started my Etsy shop on 2006. 2012 was the first year I sold more than $1,000 in a year on Etsy. Last year was 3x that! This year has started off very well and could end up being at least 50% better than last year.
ReplyDeleteWow, over $10,000 in sales, how exciting! Good for you! I'm excited because this year I finally made it to over $1000 in sales! I haven't thought about comparing my views yet.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your sales. I'm from Portugal. I started my shop on March 2013 and made a total of 6500$ in sales. I think it's good for start. I hope this year to increase it for 10000$ or more:)
