My 2021 Winner present towel finally arrived and I love it! Thanks so much Amatino…you are the best!!!!
40 listings for me last week. I am half way done with box number 2 of my challenge for this month. I can see that I am going to have to push harder if I am going to finish all 4 death pile boxes.
Hope everyone has a great week ahead!
Etsy requires you to have a different email account for every shop and since I have two shops on Etsy I have two emails. I try to keep it simple though and really only want one email account to handle daily. You can set Google email so all your different email accounts land into your main account and that’s what I do, so when I get email from the one I use for Etsy it comes into my main email. I get MORE than enough email from just the one!
50 listings for me last week. Really slammed with orders, but was able to almost complete one death pile box…all that’s left to do is to take photos to complete one draft.
Hope everyone has a great week ahead.
52 listings for me for the week. I was aiming for 60, but it’s a good start to the year. I’m hoping that this will be the year that I finally reach my goal of 2k listings. My monthly challenge this month is to process 4 death pile boxes and I was way too busy last week shipping to start, but am hoping I can get at least one done this week. VT your 8 week death pile challenge is very inspiring! Once this month is over I should challenge myself to a DP box every month.
Hope everyone has a great week ahead!
46 listings for me last week. I didn’t have any travel listings for the month.
Five listings for me last week. Had a wonderful time with my family up in Seattle and beat the snow back home, if just barely. I’ve already listed more than 5 items today and hope that my last week of the year is extremely productive. I’m really looking forward to the new challenge!
Amatino, not sure when you want us to give you our 2022 year goal, but please put me down for 40 a week, because this will be the year I finally reach my goal! My plan is to strive to list 60 items a week the first 6 months, knowing that the second half of the year is always much more challenging and if I’ve managed 60, then I can have a goal of 20 a week for the second half of the year. It’s a new strategy and I think it will work for me!
Hope everyone stays warm and cozy and safe!
I am SO ready!
Here is my TEDC list.
1. List 3 boxes of craft/art items on Etsy.
2. List 25 vintage books on Etsy.
3. Challenger’s Choice.
4. Process 8 London Calling Boxes.
5. Find home for problematic antique dolls.
6. List 3 boxes of specialty fabrics.
7. List 25 pieces of vintage bed linens.
8. Challenger’s Choice.
9. List 25 pieces of vintage jewelry.
10. Frame 50 vintage postcards.
11. List 25 vintage art stamps.
12. List/process 4 death pile boxes.
These are all projects that have been on the back burner for way too long….set aside for items that were much easier and quicker to deal with. I can’t wait to start completing these projects!
2 whole listings for me last week. I’m grateful for the orders pouring in, but also grateful that it will soon reduce down to a manageable level. I’m shipping 50-60 orders every day and not getting much else done. I did manage to get my 2o22 personal challenge list made, and am excited to share it.
I’m envious that you have almost eliminated your death piles Sharyn! I hope to make great head way on mine next year. You are an inspiration. Julie, thanks and I bow down to the queen of listing this year….you certainly have been consistent and diligent….kudos to you. I’m planning my strategy for next year. I need to expect that my 2nd half of the year is always going to be more challenging, and split my listing goal into 2 parts, first half of the year and second.
Glad about the brace Amatino….sending wishes that 2022 is a non-eventful health year for you!
Happy holidays everyone!
Amatino, I love love love the new Designated Challenge! How inspiring AND motivating! I started working on my list this morning and I can’t wait to start!
thanks for putting so much thought into it…..it’s brilliant!
25 listings for me, which is a miracle, quite frankly. I’m spending 7-8 hours a day just shipping. Tis the season…today I had 137 orders to ship!
55 listings for me last week. I received a large wholesale shipment that was supposed to have arrived in August. It came last week, due to all the container issues and it had plenty of Christmas product so I had to scramble to get it all listed. Fortunately, it has already started selling briskly.
Amatino, so sorry about the crummy customer. I like the term BOFBS, Julie. And I agree…the buyer sounds like a liar.
My current beef with Ebay is that my sales were sluggish after I put my shop on vacation for two weeks in October so I could do my show. It very much felt like I was being punished! My daily sales were at about 20% of what they were before I turned my shop off and it was slow to return. They are FINALLY back up to where they should be for this time of year, but it was a long process and very nerve-wracking. I had the same issue with Amazon but it came back quicker. I didn’t have this problem with either one of them in the past so this is a new unwelcome twist.
I really put the pedal to the metal this week, especially this weekend, and listed 50 items for the week. Still playing catch-up but feel good about my progress. No more death pile boxes to report.
Hope everyone has a great week ahead…there’s only 5 weeks left this year!
