STATS!

[Helen Gilson]

I do the stats because I think its good for us to see what hard work does for our businesses!  Those that are working their business and stick to it, get sales!

I can't tell you how many people have dropped off the wall 'because they never saw any benefit from it' but they also never uploaded a single thing in 13 weeks!  The WOJ isn't a get rich quick scheme, its a tool for helping your business grow!

It keeps me challenged and ingaged so I keep uploading even when I don't feel I have time to!

Well, I have to confess - I am pretty competitive and people who know me but not really well on a personal level are usually very surprised by that.   We played board games a lot growing up - maybe that is why . . . 

The stats ARE great motivators for me, too.   It's like in Weight Watchers - as silly as it sounds, I just loved getting the little 5 pound stars.

I told my husband I barely made top 5 but I was  going to be a big girl about it. LOL

 

[Helen Gilson]

LOL @ being a big girl! 

I'm so glad you are!  I hope you are uploading and keeping up with sales so we don't have to see you in a hissy fit from missing the top 5 next time! LOL

I just tuned in to this conversation & have to thank Sue for stepping forward!  Definitely no forgiveness needed, Helen, for a single thing!  I'm just thrilled someone is way more organized than me when it comes to numbers.  I am also with Sue on the stats....they are great for knowing where one stands as far as uploading new items and sales.  It gives me that extra push when I just want to sit back and be lazy.  Can you imagine if we all got together to play a board game? 

I didn't stamp my foot..if I had you all would have an avalanche in your location with all the snow we have here! 

Thanks again & heres to even more sales for the second half of January!

Oh goodness, Helen - I wouldn't have a hissy - just buy and list myself crazier than I am.  With all these awesome stores, I know I deserve to be off that list more than I have been. 

Yeah . . . I'm thinking a few of us playing board games - or worse yet - going jewelry shopping together, would not be pretty! LOL  I really AM a good loser - even at board games, but when I lose I just want to keep playing to even it out.  My daughter have some pretty good scrabble and boggle marathons! 

[Helen Gilson]

LOL the end of this month i'm taking a bunch of women from church to a vintage clothing store.  I just hope none of them make me lose my religion fighting over anything at the jewelry counter LOL

[Helen Gilson]

I just checked our rating on Alexa.com

Our rank is flying up the chain!  My goal for the year is to get us to a ranking which means we'd be in the top 100,000 sites in the world for our category.  We've gone from 1.5 mil to 1/2 a mil in 3 months!

7 day     568,156
1 month 1,487,614
3 month 1,538,533 

As a comparison Etsy.com is 362 and eBay is 23.

Once we get above 100,000 we'll get tons more information about our visitors!

Wow! Helen that's astounding.  Great job and what an inspiration to keep plugging away at twitter etc.

And . . .maybe I should pray for you and your church lady outing to the Vintage store

I really miss shopping with my mom.  Occasionally we would get a little testy - usually because I moved faster or people sold things cheaper to her because she was a sweet little old lady (and she is). HAH!  I really miss it though. Now the only way I can share is on boards on in my shop. But I miss those "Oh wow, this is signed Hector Aquilar! and You know that big chunky chain I got? It's 14K!"  conversationos.  She doesn't get it now.  SHe still understands gold is really good, but has lost all her knowledge of designers and what's even from the 50's or 60'ls or whatever.  Strokes followed by progressive dementia - it's a really stinky thing.  Sorry - sometimes I do go on.

Your are doing a fabulous job and I feel so privileged to be part of WOJ.

Have a great evening!

Hi Everyone, It is all helping me ! & I love it Helen that you are taking care of us. I don't like doing the parts you do so its wonderful  that you do-thanks!  Also the stats are awesome-isn't that amazing remember when we started? How low they where?  I sold a bunch on RubyLane,not much on Etsy-I just know it works.Judy

I was disappointed that I didn't make it to the first page this time!  I missed it by that [] much!  By about 2 or 3 uploads.  It brings to mind something someone told me about jewelry direct selling, "You can work it full time or part time, but you can't run it spare time."

I know that the people that upload, also sell.  There is a direct correllation - we see it every two weeks!

So here's to each of us building our businesses!  Upload! Upload! Upload! so that you can Sell! Sell! Sell!

P.S. Thanks for the prayers and thoughts for my son!  For those of you not already on my Facebook, Glenn was 3 days from graduating basic training for the USAF.  He fell, fracturing one mandible, cracking the other and has 6wks of recuperation to look forward to.  His mouth is wired shut, so hoping he doesn't lose too much weight.  He is suppose to be going to school at the Defense Language Institute at the Presidio.  We are praying he doesn't miss his appt to the school if they keep him on medical hold.  We still covet and thank you for your prayers for the next several weeks as he mends.

Two things struck me - we have a steady average per hour visits and look at how often we came up in search terms surrounding eco friendly jewelry / green industry!  That was our goal this quarter and it shows in the search terms!
