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 am celebrating being featured in the February issue of Ladies' Home Journal. It's an article about doing 365 projects and they wrote about my One Cup Cozy a Day project. The cozies are on sale in my shop.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I have had a great January, so much better than December, which was good as well! I've had a sale almost every other day, and I'm about to pass 200 sales for my shop overall. I'm almost feeling overwhelmed, but after this weekend, I'll be caught up. Too bad my house is a mess.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am 3 sales away from 100 sales on Etsy. SO COOL! Also, about 2 weeks ago I decided to make a new product (Car Seat Strap Covers) and since I have sold so many. It has been a great addition and since it is an easy item to make it makes good money!!

January has been a good month for sure and I am hoping that 2013 continues the same way!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Oh hello everyone!
I am less than three months into being on Etsy as a seller and haven't had as much time as I'd hope to post new items!
And so far I've had a couple of sales (one or two in person too) to friends or acquaintances
BUT
a couple of weeks ago I had my first sale to a stranger! It was so exciting!
And I'm really happy because the transaction went really well and she gave me GREAT feedback!!!
I really can't wait until my next sale!
Until then, I'm trying to find time to list more things!
:D

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Etsy, Etsy, Etsy! Where have you been all my life?

Life changing - that's what Etsy has done to me.

I still can't believe there are more than 100 people in the world wearing my eco jewelry. MY jewelry! It's nuts.

Etsy has opened up a new way of thinking for me. Being creative is something that I never associated with me. But now, I can not stop it (nor do I want to!).

Thanks Etsy!

Any time within that day somewhere in our shop's listing descriptions, we will reveal a "Secret Password" for ONE FREE BRACELET just in time for Valentines Day.
