The Progress Of My Ecommerce

This is the graph of my monthly sales for this year. Please note that I just started my business lasy January.


As you can see on the gragh, the red indicates the Sales, the green indicates the Expenses and the blue indicates the profit.

I had my first sale on the 2nd month. It was a frustrating feedback from my very first online customer with regards to the quality of my product. But I never give up from there. I continue improving the quaity of my product while working hard for the Search Engine Optimization of my webstore.

I started receiving orders and good feedbacks from customer by the month of July.

My visitors and sales went down on August when I did a major changes on my homepage and some of the pages. But the visitors started to pick up after a month, and it continously grow.

Business is unpredictable. From October to November the number of sales was actually lower but the amount of each order is bigger, than the month of August to September. Which indicate that the customers who ordered the free samples from the month of August to September were satisfied with the quality of my products so they return to order more and infact refer more customers.

My Sales was low for the month of December because I slowed down in working on my webstore and products. I didn't do much updates and marketing because I was busy with some personal activities.

The Blue Bar, shows that I have negative profit, which is very acceptable for a very new online business. My expenses are usually for the improvement of my products. But by next year, I will be spending some amount for the marketing of my products and for the improvement of the quality of my website. The lost was actually not bad for a very new online business.

I will start doing my regular updates and marketing of my products next month. I am looking forward to double my sales for the year 2010. I will work harder to do more economical marketing strategies and try to do some offline marketing to boost traffics and sales for the year 2010. I am hoping that before the end of the year 2010, there will be no BLUE bar on the graph anymore.
