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!

Made my very 1st sale today!! I've had my shop since 2012 but I never added items for sale until this January, I was starting to worry that I wouldn't get a sale because of that but I got my first one shipped and paid for!!! Yay!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hello, everyone! This is Maria, from Piraeus, Greece. I have been an Etsy member for quite a long time, but I haven't had the time to chase this opportunity seriously. I recently bought some Creative Live courses that seem to have already helped me a lot. I'm in the process of totally changing my shop in terms of appearance and there is a LOT to be done yet, but I'm known to be persistent :) Well, my milestone up to now: I did sell my first item, a digital tutorial on knitting in the round! I know I may sound silly, but I'm thrilled!!!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I finally got some professional pictures of some of my bridal pieces! My shop is really starting to look professional and I'm so excited. I've only gotten a couple of pictures back so I've only been able to update a few listings and add a few new ones, but slowly but surely, I feel like I'm getting there!
Here's one of the pictures I just got today:

4 sales this year, 2 of them with return customers and 2 this month.
It is modest progress but it is a milestone for me after 2 years off Etsy.
Happy spring everyone!

I want to share with everybody that I've just put my first order for shipment. I'm so exicted!!!!! I opened my shop in December and was a bit down that I hadn't made any sale yet. I hope that everything goes well with the shipment and the size ordered. My blue belt is now travelling towards Palm Beach!!!
