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.

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

One of my items got onto the front page today!
Also, a number of my items are now on display at a local gallery!
One of my items might be featured in a magazine too! I have my fingers crossed!

Good luck and every success to everyone here!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Eeeek.. I reached sale 9 this week. Dare I hold my breath for no 10?

I'm still waiting for that special moment when everything clicks into place...
so I'm hoping a little sale might boost things.

SALE15 is my discount code for 15% off all my shop items until Sept - so if anyone wants to help me reach that special number 10 (heheheee) I'd be ever so grateful if you shared the discount around :-)

Good luck to everyone for great success this year!!!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I don't know if this counts, but I'm celebrating that, when I clicked open my shop this morning, my big, pretty photos of my items were BACK! Somehow Etsy had changed my shop's design completely to an ebay-like horizontal listing with teensy tiny pics and stuff I don't think my customers care much about, like how many views each item has received and when the item was listed. I was SO sad. I couldn't change it and it just wasn't set up for browsing. I mean, Etsy is about the boutique experience and how can my potential customers browse when they're squinting at teeny tiny pics and lots of useless copy. So...

I AM SOOOOO HAPPY that some merciful person at Etsy gave me back my shop, with the big pics and everything. Thank you thank you thank you!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Can you celebrate followers? I just reached 100. I've been doing well in Sales but have been slow at getting followers. A good problem to have, I'm sure, but I see some with thousands. Hope to post more milestones soon.

Wait... Have another reason to celebrate. I just found out my work has been sited on a gadget site. http://gadgetsin.com/the-handmade-wood-iphone-dock.htm

My best,
Chris

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I have to tell everyone what happened to me the other day. I made this beautiful silver and gold pearl bracelet. I put it on my site and then was taking some pictures of some other designs I had made. I went to add the others which was about 30 minutes later. I didn't see the silver and gold bracelet on my site. I thought that I didn't post it correctly so I was searching all over for it. I was just about to re-post it and saw I had an email through Etsy. The reason I couldn't find it was because I sold it. That was the fastest I had ever sold anything. I was truly amazed. It was also my 5th design I sold since I started last October. I am so very proud of myself.
Thanks for reading
Theresa

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

This week I'm celebrating because after a few slow months and a lot of hard work on my site, I've had the best week of sales yet! I'm also very excited because I received my first wholesale order! Still looking forward to increasing my number of sales but this has definitely been a great week. =D

Thanks to everyone for sharing their stories. They are very uplifting to read!

Cheers,

Amanda

An American soldier stationed in Afganistan purchased a necklace from my shop as a surprise for his wife.
The gesture was so sweet, and as a thank you for his service to our country, I threw in a ring for free! This is one client I will never forget!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi!
Last Sunday, the Etsy page on facebook published my jewel!
I have had many visits, and also 2 sales!
I do not know if sales are a result of this great unexpected gift.
For me it was a great honor!
