June has been a shocker for sales

[jellybirddesigns]

Just looked over my last 12 months of selling and see that June has been my absolute worst - down by 80% compared to my peak month of September 2015.

I started selling full time at the start of the last financial year, so now that we're coming to the end of it, I do wonder if that accounts for the low volume of sales although I haven't been through a financial year cycle before as a full time seller, so I don't really have a benchmark to compare.

With my husband also having been unemployed for the last 12 months as well, I really, really, really hope that things pick up again in July. 😞

I used to have a website - it looked great, had integrated payments etc - but did not get ONE sale in the 12 months I had it, so I've just let it expire. Spent a heap load in advertising trying to drive traffic to the site, to no avail. 

I will definitely be looking to branch out a bit and will start working on some new ideas.

Just having a bit of a downer week, but I'm sure things will improve.

I would just like to say having a website outside eBay is a great opertuniy. I am in the process of setting one up. Most Providers allow you Web Space for free to a certain amount. You cannot Advertise your Website within eBay listings but in your ME  (About Me) you can Tell sellers about your Website with links.

Thanks For Reading

A website is a fair bit of work, to set up run correctly, but yes they are a great opportunity, I have run websites for nearly 20 years now. A little tip do not use the free space your provider gives you if a year (or when ever) you want to change your provider you will lose the work you have built up. Hosting can be purchased cheaply as little as $5-$10 a month for an ok provider also purchase a domain name they are only approx $15 a year.  Depending on what your selling you just need to generate 1 or 2 sales a month to cover all the costs so well worth the investment.

I sold more than I listed. Which, given storage constraints, is my goal. I don't often realise it, but I achieved it this month, so not a shocker from my point of view.
