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

Hey Guys,

I instructed my 1st private paper flower workshop this Sunday and it went swimmingly well!

I'm also celebrating my most profitable month on Etsy yet, it's only going to go up from here!

Just keep swimming guys, just keep swimming.

I've been open for two months and am 1 sale away from 40 sales. My goal is to reach that in the next couple days. Things are doing well and I am keeping busy!

Congrats, Suni! Finding your creations on Google is something to celebrate.

I'm celebrating having just received a handwritten thank you note from a happy customer on the West Coast :) Some business owners save their first dollar bill. I didn't. I will save this note though, and let it remind me why I'm in business after all.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

A small milestone but I just recently added "party printables" to my shop. I wasn't sure if party decor was something that my end user would purchase but I made my first sale today. Thanks for celebrating with me!

I'm celebrating going on vacation! In 4 months, I have sold out of my stock that in the past took me a year. I need a vacation to breathe and restock. Unfortunately, this comes at the expense of my busiest month. But what can you do when you have nothing left!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I finally listed a gift wrapping option to my shop. I've been working on this since I read the article in the Etsy success newsletter "How to make your products more giftable". It took forever to take the photos but now they're pretty and I'm very happy I got that far! https://www.etsy.com/listing/231710406/gift-wrapping-add-this-to-your-shopping?ref=shop_home_active_...

Hoping to make 4 sales a month as I did for April. Need advise on how to promote my shop besides Social media(got that covered, lol). Thanks so much!! FarmgalProducts

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

So I got two 5 star reviews over the past two days! And the one was for my largest order that I received!

I'm glad that not only are people are coming back so quickly now to give me 5 star reviews, but that are thrilled with the product! Especially when they drop the kind of money that they do on my shop. Will try to do what I can to make the customer happy!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I opened my shop this month. Yesterday I learned a lot about how to really make my posts shine. I'll have to spend a day just making sure all is as good as I can get but hopefully it pays off!
Can't wait for the day I make my first sale.

Happy Friday to everyone!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Had my first sale in my first week and it wasn't from a friend!! I know I can be hard for someone to buy from a shop without feedback but that gave me a great boost to keep working!!
