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.

• You reached (x) # of sales
• You added (x) # of listings in your shop
• You have (x) # of views / favorites / admirers

We had one of our prints feature on Buzzfeed! This was pretty exciting in itself but I feel the success lies in the fact that I understood my stats enough to realise it had happened. That satisfaction of registering that I was getting traffic from Buzzfeed and knowing the steps to see follow in order to find out which print it was and act on it! Got to love a good stats day!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I received a great review today. These remind me to keep going - even if every week isn't busy, I know it's worth my time and effort when I receive feedback like this: "Adore this bag!! Thanks so much!!".

Happy Wednesday!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I finally have 100 items in my shop. Now I'm looking to up that by at least another 50. But feeling great where I am now.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I made my first sale from my Etsy shop within a few short weeks, and I feel pretty stoked about that! It's very hard to get discovered on the big wide web, so having someone love my work so much they wanted to buy it was so motivating. It's a real confidence booster and it makes me want to take my work more seriously and pour more heart and soul into it.
I never got a formal extended education, and I often feel inadequate because of that decision, so feeling like I can finally do something clever and creative and be good at it makes me super super happy. Etsy is such a super place to get seen and to learn so much. It's a very nurturing environment.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi there!

I'm a fairly new Etsy seller (been here for a month or so). I made my first sale just a few weeks ago, but my ultimate goal is to leave my day job and work full time selling prints and things.

Any advice for noobs on:

1. Tweaking tags, titles, etc to maximize visibility
2. Managing time: full-time job + personal commitments + Etsy store
3. Marketing on a tiny budget scale

Would love to hear from everyone on here! :)

( Burnt Orange Drip Clock on Glass ) -

This is one of the many vinyl clocks that i make. It's my own unique design and I'm the only person making these.

They are a great addition to any room, studio or office as they are rather eye catching and quirky. They are available in may different colours as well as either on glass or on mirror, so please favourite my shop to keep updated with my latest pieces.

After 1.5 months of adding crocheted items to my shop, I finally made a sale!! Couldn't be more excited :)

I definitely give a lot of credit to this team for all of the awesome advice that is constantly being given. It is wonderful to know that there is always somewhere to go to ask questions and get solid advice!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

My views have gone up daily and I have about 60 favorites this week! I know thats not a big deal, but it is to me. However, I feel like I will never get a sale and I cant figure out why.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I just opened my Etsy shop 1 week ago. It's very exciting to see stats showing people looking at, and favorate-ing my stuff. I don't have alot posted yet, since I'm a disabled, but busy mom and gran. Looking forward to my first sale and reading as many articles in Etsy as I can. Good thing I like to learn new things!

I have been dreaming of getting a coveted vendor spot at the Spoutwood Fairie Festival - the oldest Faerie Festival in the USA. They have less than 80 vendor spots this year and every year they limit new (to this event) vendors to about 20%. I am thrilled to have been given one of those spots this year!!!

Just the other day I posted my 100th item. When I started I never dreamed I would make 100 items for my store.
