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!

It is so nice to see others successes! It makes me hopeful for the future.

My own personal success has been 10 sales in the past 7 days! One of which was a custom order. Things are finally starting to look up.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I hit 500 sales last week! Then got slammed with 6 more! I would have written sooner, but they were all custom orders. Thank goodness now I am on vacation and my shop is closed for 2 weeks. I need a break! I am hearing your virtual applause! Thank you.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Well, I'm not feeling so great about my success now that I've read a few of the above (though I'm VERY happy for you guys! hard work pays off :)) That being said, I had 2 sales this week, which I don't think I've had since March or April (am I really doing something wrong?), and I find my shop/products coming up in google more often - which makes me feel good. Finally - emphasis on finally - I actually got my shop stock over 100 items!

Happy sales to all :) --JoAnne

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I reached 1000 sales this year! I have just been looking into seo, changed most of my listings to be more relevent(could probably improve) and my shop description, etc, and I have had a definite uptick in favorites items. .
June has been slow after a really steady 12 months, so now is the time I think to tweak more.
Let me just say, that in 2010 I did not think my shop would ever have the volume that it has now. It started sooooo slowly, and then after time started to snowball.... Go etsy!

Celebrating a (significantly reduced charity) sale to MLB Texas Rangers this week, how very exciting! My tags will be used to seal bags of concealed autographed baseballs. Proceeds benefit the 'Ruptured Ducks', a division of 'Wounded Warriors'. Feeling grateful.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

What wonderful little success stories!

I've just got my listings up to over 140 *and* have accepted an invitation to become a Leader on the UK Crafters on Etsy team :)

And I've been accepted as a trader, from a curated list, to *the* big UK Steampunk event in Lincoln in September (Weekend at the Asylum).

Plus a certain fairly well known cosplay model has liked my items and my Instagram pics of Etsy items. I'm feeling like The Navigatrix might just take off any minute! Wheeee!
