How's your June?

Okay, at the beginning of June, I posted on this blog about how I wanted to make this month the Best Etsy Month Ever! Anyone remember? Since it's just about half way through the month, I thought I would check in, tell you all how my month is going on Etsy, and then see how you're doing!

My June so far
-Sales are slow, but steady, and they seem to be picking up as the month goes along.
-I'm trying to get out to thrift stores, etc at least a couple times a week. So I never run out of items to list!
-I'm trying to list in the Etsy Shop everyday, and have managed to do so except for just a couple days. (These days were filled with friends, cookouts, shopping, housework, etc, It is summer after all. :)
-I'm posting on my Facebook Like Page more, and trying to get some interaction going there.
-All my etsy items have been extra organized. Shipping supplies fully stocked, new drawers to keep all my vintage jewelry sorted by piece, so I can find it quickly when I need to ship. This makes for much less time spent packaging up sales and getting them out in the mail.
-Taking a least a few product photos every day. It's hard to list if I don't have nice, edited photos. So If I do a little of this every day, it doesn't get overwhelming thinking of taking and editing 300 photos in one day!
-I was invited to join, and signed up for an account with Lookville! It seems to be a good place to network with more fashion loving people. Great place for tips and advice on fashion too! It's also a great place for me to do some research about the kinds of Vintage Fashions people are currently looking to buy!
-My nice new business cards should be here any day now.
-I like to and have been trying to promote other sellers, especially on Twitter. Great way to help the whole Etsy Community grow!
-I'm Still trying to get photos of Customers showing off their S.S.Vintage purchases! (Want to help? See Here!)

Overall the month so far has been great. I would love to have made a few more sales by now, but I'm getting a lot of new things listed, and the more that's in the shop, the more sales I can make. It also seems like the harder I work, and the more days in a row I work on the shop, the more the sales start to trickle in. Just working on getting the shop name out there and noticed, I believe that will bring me more sales in the long run too. I'm considering purchasing a few small ads, maybe on other blogs/websites. All this effort is going to pay off!

Tell me about your month! How's it going? What have you been up to (in your Etsy shop, and in general!)?
