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!

Opened my shop in September 2014.

It's doing better than I ever could have expected. I specialize in Genuine Opal rings since that was what all the search words were looking for.
Sell engagement and wedding rings all the time.

I'm so surprised and thrilled.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Its wonderful to read what other Etsyers have achieved through hard work and a strong conviction / belief in their products! Having joined a number of months ago I wondered if I would ever make a sale...I took to reading and researching what other Etsyers were doing to improve their own shops, instantly motivated I then set about tweaking my listings and polishing up on my photos and hey! I got my first four sales this month and what a feeling!! With renewed confidence and incentive, I look forward to adding new listings as often as my work will allow....Etsy truly is the place to sell your wonderful hand made goods!.. I too have just began an Etsy facebook page...Still in its infancy I am hoping for 100 page likes and would love any support..All likes will be happily reciprocated as we are all here to help each other.Thank you so much for all the sharing and advice fellow etsyers...; )

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Although I have been a Etsy member for a long time, I never considered Etsy seriously till this past year. Last year I started using Promotional Ads for my products and also added lot of listings and saw immediate success. I realized Etsy is a very credible marketplace where buyers are looking for genuine quality and a personal touch. I was overjoyed with the response and even got repeat orders from far off places. Thank You Etsy team for providing us such an engaging market place, much more lively and like an Etsy Family.

Hurray... 1st Sale of 2015 and Looking to Serve Many More Customers with my beautiful handmade designer scarves.

I have (just barely) reached my goal of 10 sales by the end of January. I am quite happy because my shop only opened a month and a half ago!

Thanks to Etsy and all of you for the great tips :)

Today is the day that I said "No" to a movie offer ("previous" 18 year career as an overworked film wardrobe gal). I have an item on the 3rd page of Trending and seems I can keep dedicate myself to this craft as a full time gig!

Love that Etsy!
