This team is dedicated to sharing business advice in a supportive environment. From the day you first set up your shop to the day you think about quitting your day job, there's so much to learn. Luckily, one of the best things about selling on Etsy is the support and encouragement from other sellers.

Whether you’re brand new to selling on Etsy or you can count the years on both of your hands, you probably have some milestones that you’d like to celebrate with all of us. Post your milestone in this thread. Every month, we'll highlight some of our favorite posts, so join the celebrations!

Please also introduce yourself in your post if you’re new to the Etsy Success Team—describe what you sell and how long your shop has been open.

Here are some examples of milestones (but remember that all personal milestones big or small are worthy of celebrating!):

• You made your 1st sale / 1st international sale / 1st custom order
• You reached (x) # of sales
• You added (x) # of listings in your shop
• You have (x) # of views / favorites / admirers
• You received positive feedback from a buyer
• Your shop was featured in the press or in social media
• You recently opened your shop
• You’re celebrating your Etsyversary

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I started selling in Nov. and just passed 50 sales - a small success, but worth celebrating!

Just listed my pretty fabric bins, made with vintage cotton and linen ... I hope they sell too :-)))

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I have more than 10 items in my shop now :) And my views are better today than they were earlier in the week. I'm almost at 800 total views. I'm hoping to get over 1000 before Thursday, which would be my 'one month' anniversary as a shop owner.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I had a very active weekend with lots of new Facebook likes to my page (well...I put out a request for Likes to friends, family and team mates and they did support me!), some positive feedback from 2 bloggers and a big sales to a very nice customer who convoed me for hours asking about various pieces and then bought 6 different pottery items and promised to buy a few more when I make them for her.

I joined 2 Etsy additional teams and applied and was accepted for the free Facebook ads. Got lots done and had some sales. Yippee!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I'm almost at my 200th sale (5 more to go!). It's a little premature but it's still worth a celebratory mention in my book.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

That is AMAZING Keegan! Congratulations!
I just reached 100 followers on my Facebook fan page (and I'm giving a discount coupon to followers as thanks!), here's my Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Little-Studio-Jewellery-by-Meghann-Lynch/74773878503
Also, I recently started recovering from a long term illness to the point where I am now able to devote almost all my time to my business! So happy, and I have garnered 3 sales this month alone, which is amazing, considering I only started working (mostly!) full time on my shop this month :)
