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 have gotten to my milestone of having 100 listings up now! Took me a while, but feels good!
Now for getting the new work up (do not like photographing them).
And also have 20 admirers.
So next up, the first sale would be nice!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi! I opened my shop in June 2014. I sell handmade dreamcatchers, burlap banners and garlands.

The milestone I'm celebrating is getting a 5-star customer review, I wanted it since I opened my shop, and I got it a few days ago. I'm very happy about that! :D

I recently created and Instagram page @olabonitashop, and I'm getting so much support from the Etsy and handmade community, it's pretty awesome!

2015 is turning out to be a great year. I'm very glad to be part of this community. Thank you!

Hi new team member here. I started my shop June 2012 and I'm working on putting everything down on paper, ie: goals, etc. I have two other shops but have emptied these to focus on vinageneedlefinds and will later work on one shop at a time.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi to all of you on the Etsy Success team.
My name is Mary-Anne Harding and I opened my shop, Art and Design 4 u, in August 2013. Its a continual learning curve for me.
Firstly im an Artist so i have done a number of pet portrait commissions and offer custom pet portraits. Of the commissions i have been fortunate to do. i have prints professionally done and sell them, I Also sell unique hand painted greeting cards in glass paint, cute watercolors, ACEOs, handmade beaded jewelry normally with crystal in as i am a great believer in having balance in your life. Also lets face it, as Girls we love a bit of sparkle, makes us feel special. I have also recently done some fairy paintings and framed them, I am trying to determine who to send them with, before i load them up on to shop.
I would like to put some items up for sale being the new year and all . although i haven't figured that out yet how to put items up for Sale, any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Mary-Anne x

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Conquering my fears of the many computer skills needed to succeed in the world of Etsy....slowly! So much help from the handbook and you guys, as well as the many forums. Also just went over 100 sales:) and have commissioned another Etsy seller to make my Etsy banner, logo, etc. Looking forward to what 2015 will bring!
Nest goal is to get Facebook page up and running! EEEEEKKKK!

Woohoo! I'm celebrating finally listing the 100th item in my shop. It's taken a while because I keep having to relist items and haven't had time to list new items recently.
