I'm not surprised that April 30th was the biggest day. It's a is a great day: Willie Nelson's birthday, the day the Vietnam War ended, and my birthday!

Congratulations Etsy and I hope we keep growing :-)

wow amazing

Thanks for the stats!!!

March 30th was a good day for me too :)

Yay, thanks for the info. Hooray for CNN and here's to May!

that is awesome! April was slooow for me so here is hoping for some bigger numbers in May! GO ETSY! :)

Great to read! Thanks for the update and keep up the good work!

Let me guess, All those new buyers are buying supplies right?

I dont think it made that mush difference to that mant different shops with all the posts of No Sales for April in the Forums.

I believe in growth to a certain extent, but I think Etsy is getting over flooded, and is going to end up biting their nose off to spite their face, if they dont slow the incoming Resale and Mass Produced Crap that is being allowed to be sold here.

Yea etsy! Love all the new buyers. I have seen some of them in my shop.

We had an excellent April here, perhaps one of our best months so far. I think it was mainly down to our new designs and photographs, but it's good to hear that the whole site is growing.

Let's hope for a great May!

That is great news!!!

Thanks for the monthly report - there in lies some good info and food for thought - and action. Etsy rocks!

I would rather people buy supplies off of etsy than at fabric stores, etc. Any sale is a good sale in my opinion.. I try to redirect friends and family to etsy.
Also, a lot of supplies are vintage and found in thrift stores, basements, etc. People who buy those supplies not only support etsy, they also help the environment/economy/etc by using what is already produced

That's awesome that Etsy is having so much growth! We had our first 3 sales in April so I couldn't be happier!

isn't it great to hear good news about economics for a change?
*whoot* Etsy!

I am happy to have been part of this! I both bought and sold in April, and I am still finding my way around Etsy. I cant say enough about Etsy the quality of the sellers the beautiful layout. THANK YOU For being here. After several attempts at my own ecommerce website, I am finally comfortable with what I am doing.

Those are impressive numbers, I just joined up and I am in the process of getting some of my work posted. I am glad I finally did!! Way to go!

I'd love to see stats on a regular basis!

it all sounds good to me :)

will the stats be a regular feature?

Charles aka winenutnyc does a monthly stats post. These used to be in the newscast, but we've starting just doing them as their own posts. You can do a Storque search for "statistics" to call up these posts.
