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

A "Thrity-One" Seller somehow (facebook I think) promoted a stamp we made for her and now we are getting a whole bunch of other thrity-one sellers buying the same stamp. Hooray!!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hey guys! My name is Sydney and my shop is All Things Rosette. I opened my shop shortly after my wedding selling things that I had made for it. For there, I have listed many a range of items, but have recently decided to gear my shop more towards major life events such as wedding and babies! My shop has been open for a little over year, but I have yet to gain much traction.

And here's my celebration:

I just made my first international sale (last week)!! How do I celebrate? With a coupon of course!!! From now until November 11, 2014 anyone can use the code, INTL10, to get 10% off their order.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I made my first treasury list what I enjoyed doing very much.
It 's about dots and stripes and I 'm so proud of it!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am almost at my 300th sale on Etsy. I am thrilled that I have been able to create so many items for so many people. It makes me really appreciate my decision to leave the social service field and feed my own soul, instead! I am really wanting to reach my 300th Etsy sale before Black Friday.

Thanks for listening to my celebration, party of one! :)

PS- I am open to trading, if anyone is interested in anything I create! Just message me! Have a fantastic night!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I had my second biggest day in sales today, both in number of items sold and dollar amount. I've been selling for five years and it was just as exciting as my first big sale back in 2011!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Just as I was about to give up I got my second sale of the year. I have working a lot on tags, descriptions and photos, so it has obviously paid off.
Lets hope this is the start of many more

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Gail, I love the copper work...beautiful, and congrats on the sale. Hang in there Gail, you are an artist!

We are celebrating opening our shop just 2 short days ago. Of course I am focused on increasing views at this time. It occured to me that, since I make a product that accessorizes jewelry (wall mounted jewelry organizers), I should start networking with, and favorite-(ing) more of the wonderful jewelry makers here on ETSY. If it's not too presumptuous, check out my wares, and if you feel my craft is worthy, I would so GREATLY appreciate the return favor ;)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Today my little shop reached a BIG milestone - 1,000 sales.

This represents many, many enjoyable hours of crocheting and crafting tiny flowers and appliques!

If any of my buyers are reading this - Thank you - I appreciate your support.

Looking forward to being successful and sharing in everyone else's success!!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I opened on Aug. 2 of this year and have 808 views, 1 treasury, 132 favorites and only 1 sale. It is becoming very hard not to be discouraged but I have faith that God is in control and if it is His will I will soon be getting some more sales.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Today we re-launched our website www.mercantilerepublic.com. It's all content and Etsy is our ecommerce engine where we send everyone to buy. We have NEVER seen this much traffic in one day to our site and we even had a huge sale of one of our art pieces.
So excited about the future using this model.

I got a hundred views this month, and I started a little over 3 weeks ago! I've been making orders in person and over other sites, but I have yet to make my first Etsy sale!

I'm delighted as I've now had just over 200 sales in my shop!

Wow, it's amazing to think that I've designed, made and sold over 200 items.
