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've been open one month and had 16 sales two of which were bulk.
It might not be successful in some people's eyes- but I'm proud and trying to double it next month.

Holy cow, you're all very impressive!

I'm celebrating having my Hudson's Bay coat on the "Trending" home page yesterday! Lots of views & one request for a shipping quote, which I sent, but no sale yet.

My Halloween card - die cutting file version - has been featured at the blog today and I am both joyfully honored and energized to create and add new inventory to my shop.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Since a few days I have a Facebook page, and yesterday I got a total of 149 favorites (more favorites than views), a new record!

My new goal is to have 100 items for sale in my shop.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I sold one of my felted sculptures through Etsy this week. It was the first time for an item like that. So it is possible to sell art through the internet to complete strangers on the other side of the world, in this case Australia. I'm happy and feel more positive about my future as an artist :)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

My October sales are going to be just about 1 1/2 times what my September sales were. I need one more sale before 12 midnight to completely do it but I am still thrilled with what I did sell.
