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'm celebrating my first sale, having set up my shop a long while ago and having no success, I tentatively dipped my toe back in the water earlier this Spring. Now feeling more confident and looking forward to making more stock :)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I have a long way to go to reach 100 sales, or even. I ususally have a sale here and there, but I did have 5 yesterday, and 1 custom order a few days ago. That's a record for me. I've been promoting on free sites, and in magazines. Hopefully, things will pick up. OK, time for the flea market for more great finds.

A great blog feature and I'm opening a brick and mortar! Super happy and all of this started with etsy! I'm also filling wholesale orders now. It's been a ton of hard work and countless days with little sleep, but all so worth it!

Got up to 200 items! I'm always torn. When I go under, it means I sold things, but one of my goals this year was to get over 200. I better get busy, maybe I can try for 250 for the upcoming holidays!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I have been on Etsy for quite a while but working 2 jobs has kept me from working on it as hard as I wish. I actually made my first sale this week! I am so excited.
I also opened a new shop on Wednesday night and on Thursday morning I had my first sale in that shop! There is nothing like making a couple of sales to get you fired up to work harder!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Just confirmed 2nd sale and third is on the way. Gotta start from the bottom, right?

But my Facebook page is also getting a couple of likes, and not 'sympathy' likes from friends and family. https://www.facebook.com/PurrlsOfDelight

Woo hoo!!

I just made my third sale and it was a custom order for me to make three necklaces and a pair of earrings.

So excited. My goal is 10 sales before the end of my first year in November.

I've reached 100 sales this week and I'm already at my 102.! I think I can finally say that I have a steady income, it's not the one I can live off, but it's still steady! I'm so happy and proud of myself :)))
