• 30 days to a better shop!

  Day One.

  Today I was looking around in the etsy forums and I saw a post called "30 Days to a better shop," which obviously intrigued me.

  I'm going to follow along and every day post in here about it! 

  So my task for today is to make a list of my goals, short term (for this month) and long term.

  October’s Goals

  1. Sell at least 1 more item this month. (2 sold so far)
  2. 100 hearts total - sounds like a lot to me.  but i'll try.
  3. Keep up with the “30 Days to a Better Shop” series
  4. Blog everyday
  5. List at least 3 new items a week
  6. Start making stuff for Holidays.

  Long-Term Goals

  1. Be able to support myself by selling my jewelry
  2. Be a top seller on etsy!
  3. Push myself always harder to be more creative and to spend more time on my craft.
  4. Buy a studio space and open a gallery/gift shop in Madison, with friends.
  5. Travel the world with my love.  Antarctica first!
  6. Follow my 3-year plan, which starts next November in Antarctica.

  More about my 3 year plan:
  November 2008 to February 2009 - MacMurdo station, Antarctica.
