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!

Just got my 3rd sale today! It's been several weeks since my last one, but I've been trying to increase traffic to my store. Hoping to get some more product in my store soon!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am so unbelievably excited to share that I have just recently reached (and surpassed) the 200 sales milestone. It has been SUCH a long time coming for me, and has involved *so much* hard work and effort. There were so many times when I never thought I'd see this goal met!

Whatever it is that each and every one of you is celebrating with regards to your business, I'll take this opportunity to send a heartfelt "congratulations" your way!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Wow, 947 pages of posts! When was this thread started? I'm grateful that, through Etsy, I'm able to share vintage and hand-made things I find interesting and (sometimes) useful. I'm thankful, too, for the help I'be been given to get this far. Sales have been surprisingly good. I hope you (if you're reading tis) will take the time to visit my shop. Good luck in all that you do!.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I was contacted through Etsy by JTV to enter into a design contest and went for it! I need some votes though! It's eventually going to be a reality show like Project Runway.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi eveyone. I'm new to the group. I opened my shop a couple of hours ago and so I have a lot to learn! My husband and I design and make custom cut word frames - with inspirational sayings, verses, names etc and for corporate, we do the same for the mission statements etc. Its exciting to be spreading our wings beyond our current market and more so online! Here's to online success!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

HI! I opened my shop April 11th and just finished boxing up my 1st sale! - and it was from a stranger! She wanted to change the colors on a personalized baby ball, and asked if I would charge extra. Charge extra? I told her I would make it any way she wanted it. Thankfully I had the colors she wanted on hand. My 20 year old son had to tell me to calm down. I crochet 6 inch stuffed balls with children's names, colleges, messages etc. crocheted in, sew tote bags with handmade flowers, and knit and crochet scarves. Its my baby balls that I really want to sell well. I have been making them for baby presents for years. Thanks for listening.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Since i opened this shop on August 2013, I have learned so many things about photography, items descriptions, tags and more, and I'm still learning everyday!!
In the last two weeks, I took the time to improve the whole shop. I took new photos, i edited photos and texts, i fixed the tags, and now my shop looks so much better!
i hope all my hard work will get me many more sales for the upcoming fall season!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Today is the first day of working for myself! After much squirreling away and being trained as a goldsmith apprentice, I can happily say that my little Etsy shop has grown into my full-time employment--and I honestly cannot be more excited!
