Good evening everyone! I was just getting ready to go to bed when I remembered I wanted to get this income report published before my cruise tomorrow so here it is.
April 2025 Income Report
I did a tad bit better in April than I did in March but not by much. I had 325 visits, 9 orders, a conversion rate of 2.8% and $48.92 in revenue.
I do not spend money on advertising, however, Etsy does their own advertising and they take out listing fees. The listing fees for April were $12.40 and their marketing fee was $2.07.
Total Etsy Income for April 2025: $34.45
Previous Month’s Earnings
March: $22.08
February: $49.88
January: $23.32
What Did I Do In April?
I wasn’t planning on doing anything in April, however, last week, I had a customer ask if I had two forms for sale that she needed. I already created the forms she was looking for but I haven’t gotten them listed for sale yet. I went ahead and listed not only those two forms but other related forms in the hopes that she might purchase those forms as well (she didn’t). I ended up listing 12 new items for sale in my store. The customer did purchase the two forms she was looking for but nothing else. She also gave me three 5 star reviews so that was awesome! If I hadn’t gotten those two extra sales, April would have been a worse month than March.
Goals for May 2025
- List all items for sale in my store that have already been created.
- Finish creating social media templates for Category 1.
I have over 70 items that I created but never got around to listing for sale in my Etsy store. Listing them shouldn’t take too long especially since I have everything I need to list them (display images, display video, description, keywords, tags, etc). I’m also going to try to finish creating social media templates to sell in one category of my store. Eventually, I want to create templates for all 6 categories that my store focuses on, however, the social media templates are taking me a long time to create so I’m going to focus on one or two categories a month. Each social media templates listing in my store will consist of 100 templates (25 Instagram posts, 25 Instagram stories, 25 Facebook posts and 25 Pinterest pins). For the first category, I have the 25 Instagram posts complete and I’m half-way done with the Instagram stories. I’m hoping to get the rest done this month. After I get the social media templates created for all 6 categories in my store, I can begin to put together the business form bundles and the social media bundles I want to sell. I think those bundles are really going to help increase the sales and profit my Etsy store brings in.
I get back from my vacation in a week and a half and then I’ll be recharged and ready to work hard on my April goals for Etsy, Merch & KDP.
