Goal Setting for Selling on Etsy in 2018



 
I always loved the new year, its a time when everything is fresh and new, you havent made any mistakes yet
But
So many people make loads of new year goals that really just end up stressing and demotivating them.
When you are selling online it is so easy to set sales goals - but the problem is what happens when you dont meet them? You cant make people just buy from you
This can really stress you

It is much more motivating to set goals that you can actually influence for yourself

Set yourself a work flow
Times set aside every day to answer emails (- and not all through the day)
Times every week to list, edit, photograph improve listings - it is much better to do little often than a big chunk all at the one time 
Try and think of new item lines - sizes, colours etc
New places to showcase your work

But most importantly - just look at doing little and often, dont try and do it all at once and then do nothing for months. Search engines favour newness 

Do a little something, learn a little something, improve a little something every single week

So make your goals 
3 new/updated listings every week
Emails answered 5 days a week
One new venue approached every month
Improve/learn one new thing every month

And these things do not have to be expensive, for small objects a light tent is really affordable for almost anyone and can improve your photographs no end (affiliate link)
