3. Improve overall User Experience, especially for Buyers
4. Build in context help for site users, FAQs and training materials for Creators on SEO, marketing etc.

Yes, thank-you! Traffic is appropriate as the number one goal in my mind. I have added some more suggestions to the suggestions forum for you too.  |

Ensorcelled Minds... we share some common goals  I create new product almost every day but am having trouble doing my marketing consistently. Regular photography sessions 2 x weekly Blogging 2 x weekly Comment on 2 blogs daily List daily Seek out and be featured on a noteable blog at least once a month Be featured in two design/decor magazines this year. Last year ( my first year online) I made Apartment Therapy's Best Throw Pillow 2009 list and also one of my Pocket Pillows was featured in Women's Weekly Magazine Feb 1 2010 issue. Woo hoo. I have some HUGE work ahead of me |

Welcome back, Christine!
JANUARY CHECK IN!
-----------------------------
How did you do with your goals?
My Weekly Goal Performance:
1) Blog - CHECK
2) Comment on someone else's blog - CHECK (NOTE: the iCraft one counts!)
3) List something new - MISS - only listed 3 things instead of 4 - BUT - the next item I plan to list is gonna be a set, so I've been madly creating!
4) Make something for myself - CHECK (barely made this one)

Of course during bootcamp I am on and off the forum all day every day.
I want to plug in more regularly this year so I stay up to date with what is going on out there and buyers / sellers see that I am consistently "in my store daily".
Gulp...

Well, the first quarter of the year has gone by! I must admit, I am falling behind my goals.  The only one I have been able to keep up is commenting on others' blogs. I have managed to blog ALMOST 3 times a month, but sometimes only twice. I really ought to list more frequently (congrats to the top 20 sellers! https://icraftgifts.com/top-sellers.php). I manage to create frequently enough, but then I get lazy about photographing. How are your goals coming along?? |

My goals are a bit more simpler I think...
1. One web sale per month
2. Get featured on a blog
3. Get some professional pictures
Being so new, I'm hesitant to pay for features on blogs...
One web sale might sound reallly low, but I haven't had a sale for 3 months...
I need to find a photographer in my area, and find out how it all works.. if I need to get the models or not
I spend quite a few hours a day trying to get the word out, mostly online. So I don't know if I'm going about it all wrong or not.
