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!

This looks like a Wonderful Thread to celebrate on. I just started my 1st shop ClingsNCrafts on March 10th and even though nothing has happened I learn new ideas everyday and that is ok with me as long as I am learning. I know Rome was not built in a day and I know my shop will probably need a lot of updating. Thanks for starting this thread and I will be watching and rejoicing with everyone that does well. Good Luck to all.... :-)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Not much activity at my shop, but happy to congratulate everyone else on their reasons to celebrate! Guess I cold celebrate that I successfully fought the urge to just vegetate in front of tv instead of being here in the present moment! ;)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Firstly, CONGRATULATIONS to everyone on their success. Today I am celebrating a very small but important milestone- The opening of my Etsy store. It's nothing huge but it is the first step. I look forward to learning and "achieving" more.

@ Ali - Congratulations and I wish you much success.

I'm celebrating that I finally have 100 items listed in my shop!

However, if I sell any of the items I'll then have less than 100 items. I'm hoping to have that problem by tomorrow... or this weekend.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I hit and passed 70 sales today! My signs are in over 70 homes throughout the US, in Canada, and Australia! It's almost too much for me to wrap my mind around!

I hope this doesn't jinx it! ;)

Congratulations to everyone else here for their success, and here's to many, many more victories!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Well, I've been hoping to reach the 100 sales mark, so I have been celebrating silently after every five sales... Right now I'm anticipating 85 sales in total with this shop... it feels like a big, exciting deal for me.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I found through reviewing our daily stats that we had some views from the Huffington Post today. I did a quick google search to see how that could be and was pleasantly surprised to find that we had a chair featured in one of their articles. There are several Etsy shops included. :)

We are on slide 7 out of 12 where Simone Kitchens, Senior Beauty Editor chose our Mid Century Modern Rocking Chair.

It sold several months ago but hopefully we will get some additioanl traffic and customers from the article.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Congrats to everyone!
I'm celebrating what seems like an explosion in increased view and favorites. On average I would get about 50 views per day. After reaching 32 items in my shop I went from 50 avg views to 120 and well over! I went from being liked or "hearted" at 100 (which took 2 years to get to) to getting 33 hearts in a matter of days! I feel like a fore has been lit under my shop. Now I'm waiting for more sales to come in. :) Cheers!
