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!

After an almost two year hiatus, I'm super excited to be stocking my store! Still haven't created anything new but I'm hoping to clear out all the inventory I have on hand and start fresh :)

Just sold my second (and last) pair of "Woven Webs" earrings in less than a week! Very excited. Now just to get people buying the other ones!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi all!

My name is Jenni. I am a full-time elementary school teacher and finally decided to pursue my passion and open my Etsy shop after 4 years of thinking about it! I work with paper... and lots of it! I love to quill, make 3D items out of paper, and make exploding boxes for all occasions!

I've been open for 3 months and 19 days. Tonight I hit 1,700 total views! So exciting!

This may be far fetched but I hope to double to 3,400 views by the end of the year!

Congratulations to all Etsy sellers on their achievement and good luck to all on your current goals!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Today has been a great day for my Etsy shop, even though I don't have a sale to show for it. But, I posted 12 new items, reworked some of my tags and titles to bring more diverse search traffic into my shop, promoted on all my social media networks, and found out one of my digital drawing series is currently being featured in the Adobe Sketch app for iPad. How cool is that? To celebrate all did, I even finished a new bird drawing (you can find the series here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/18400921/More-birds ). I hope to get these gems on Etsy ASAP!

All the hard work is paying off. I hope sales to follow in this wake of positives.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi everyone - I am very excited and happy to have opened a store in June and had my first two sales last week! It is really fun and exciting to be here and to hear the positive words and see everyone's beautiful work and I am so grateful to be able to offer my work from home. With spine injury and arthritis it has been really tricky but it is such a fabulous opportunity and so wonderful to be able to reach out and share my work! YAY!!! And congratulations to everyone here for your milestones too!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hit my 100th in July...then I had to go to the post office *four* times while I was at the beach on vacation. Thank goodness I took my stock with me, instead of putting my shop in vacation mode!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Today is the first day of my new beginning for my shop.
I have always been all around beading style, but am going to change to focus to Wedding Jewelry.
My friends and family have asked me to do this for about 5 years now, and I finally agree with them!

So I am going to learn to rearrange my shop too (first time since 2006!).
It is like a new venture in my old shop.
Wish me luck!

Hi all,
My shop K Style Design features custom made table linens. Just received confirmation from set stylist of "Taste of Home" magazine, circulation 2.5 million, that my napkins will be used in their December issue. Pretty exciting.
