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 just received a licensing inquiry from an art representative company - I'm kind of surprised as I am not overly successful with my photography on Etsy (overstatement) and it doesn't seem highly commercial. I've checked them out as much as I can, and they do seem legitimate - though new, and likely small. Has anyone else received an inquiry from MET COLORS?

300th sale!!!! Wow, most of those have came over the past 3 months. It's like every time I upgrade my workshop to meet the current demand it increases. Now I'm looking at ways to increase output again. Etsy rocks!

I have been featured in womens magazine here in Slovenia! I couldn't been happier because that magazine is read by most women that might like my bags. My potential buyers. The timming could'n been better because I'm going to local Art & Craft show this Saturday! Anyone reading about Blackbird bags might check me out.

GRAND RE-OPENING for SusieRoseDesigns and MountainRoseFoods!!!!

I'm in the process of stocking the shelves of the fiber side of me SusieRoseDesigns. All prices have been reduced. And since I'm working in a smaller area...I'll be destashing a lot of items.

The foodie side of me, MountainRoseFoods will also be reopening shortly. I have a list of foodie items from the sweet to the savory to the spicy that will be added to those shelves.

The county commissioners decided to tear down my Cold Creek home and my studio. I put my stores on vacation for months. We are living at my DBF in Las Vegas. I've taken a big financial hit.

Please visit my stores.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

It may seem silly, but I'm celebrating my first sale today! It was to my sister, but it's still a sale, right?

Congrats to everyone else on your accomplishments!
