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 opened my Etsy shop 2 weeks ago and have made 1 sale so far. I am having lots of fun with this and spend approximately 2 - 3 hours each night and more on weekends, on my Etsy shop making improvements, staying involved with the forums and teams and getting advise from others. It has always been my dream to have my own shop that offers vintage, hand designed and unique items and since I cannot afford to quit my day job, this is my way of making my dream come true. I am truly enjoying this!

Hi, I sell all types of gift items and sell candy canes that I designed myself. My milestone is when I made my first sale and custom order this month.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I opened my etsy shop a week ago with the tremendous encouragement and help of another etsy seller. So far, I've listed 40 items, updated my banner, and worked on improving my photography and descriptions. Whew! But in just a few days, with only 20 items listed I made my first sale, and an international sale at that! Wow!! I'm working hard to increase my listings and looking forward to learning more and future success. I'm really excited, and so happy I've done this....and thankful for a very helpful mentor and friend.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

We opened our shop in January and made our 1st sale in March. The second sale was our 1st Custom Order and we have had our 2nd Custom Order in March also. At this time we have 36 listings but we are learning how to do this business and will be adding lots more listings. We have had positive feedback from 3 of our 4 customers. Hope to get a lot more tips from this group so we can constantly learn how to sell on ETSY.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Fascinated by the way the indigenous peoples of Australia use colour and texture to represent their space, the artist created this lattice of concentric squares as their own response. A “corroboree” is a ceremonial meeting for Australian Aboriginal people and that is what it feels like this piece is - a meeting of colours, ideas and views. It brings a lively exuberance with it, infectious to any observer.

All pieces are handmade, by me. I specialise in reforming materials into fashionable feature wall art. Inspired by a passion for producing original artworks, alongside an aspiration to induce intrigue through interpretative features.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hey all!!

I made the most wonderful decision in late 2014. I decided that I was ready to quit my day job to focus full time on my business which included my Etsy store. AND.... I did it! I quit my day job and it was the most exhilarating feeling in the world.

I am so blessed that I have been able to follow my dreams and work solely on One Happy Leaf. I work twice as many hours on my business than I ever did in my full-time job but it is absolutely worth it. Working on your creative craft is difficult, but extremely rewarding.

Thank you to everyone in this community for providing encouragement and advice over the last few years. It has helped me get to where I am today and therefore I am celebrating this success not on my own, but with you.

Thank you.
