:: Monthly Goals :: June 2010

It has been a long time since I last joined joined in with the Monthly Goals girls, but I have my act together now! If you would like to join in pop over here to the main blog page and have a look at some of the crew.

My business goals for this month are:

1. Make another "Let me tell you a story" video.
I had such fun making this one, and would love to have one for each of my jewellery collections.

2. Finish working on new packaging.
I would like to have some sort of tag or card to include with each package, telling the little story behind the piece.

3. Design and list range of greetings cards to sell along with my jewellery.

4. Make up and list a new design each weekday from now ( 7th June) for the rest of the month.

5. Finish reading "Idea Virus" by Seth Godin.

This is a great book I found after reading "The Purple Cow". It helps you understand and work out how to create your own business talking point.

Monthly Goal Meetup - November

I have decided to join in with Jenna over at Modish for their monthly goals meetup. I have been busy over the last couple of weeks planning, making and planning some more so now it's time to share some of what I've been doing.

:: Octobers goals & what I accomplished::

1. Work on new website. Y

2. Work out new marketing and PR strategy. Y

3. Have 100+ items listed in my jewellery Etsy shop. Y

5. Make up & list 20 new collage pieces for my paper Etsy shop. N

6. Plan this years Christmas card designs, maybe make some up. N

7. Get to 1000 followers on Twitter. N

8. Work out Facebook fan pages. N

9. Start working on a "Stitch a Day" project. Y

I have realised this month that I'll have to keep Papier Delights as a hobby, I can't invest as much time into it as I would like and I simply don't have enough hours in the day. Facebook fan pages are still a mystery to me! I'm going to need to set aside some serious time working out properly how they work. I think I did not too badly last month and am just about where I wanted to be by this time.

:: Novembers goals::

1. Launch new website by 10th Nov.

2. Contact local and national press about it.

3. Share some festive DIY tutorials.

4. Get sales on new website.

5. Make up 50 Christmas cards.

Wish me luck!
