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!

Hello! I'm new to this team and excited to celebrate with everyone!

I'm celebrating that I've been on Etsy for 7 months and 2 weeks after wanting to start an Etsy shop for a long time. I mostly sell custom and made-to-order items (wood-burned spoons are my bread and butter). I would love to be able to include more ready-to-ship items, but I work a full time job. The good news worth celebrating is that sales are steady and at a pace that works with my full time job.

I celebrate that I have my next goal in mind: going international! I've been reluctant to take the plunge because I don't think I could handle the volume, but in February, I'll begin to have more time available and plan to make my listings available globally.

I also celebrate the Etsy community! the spirit of cooperation and encouragement is amazing! I've learned some great things in my 7 months from other shop owners and look forward to your advice through this team. My online shop experience would be so different - in unpleasant ways - without you! So THANK YOU!

Looking forward to celebrating together with you!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hello!
I'm celebrating my first Etsyversary! :)

Etsy has been a wonderful space where I have been able to engage in the arts and crafts, my long life companion. My teams have been critical in this process. I've learned from team members. My customers have given me joy in knowing that they support and appreciate my handmade products. I am at 154 sales and I love seeing the positive reviews. They motivate me to continue pushing forward.

Etsy's sellers handbook and blogs have also helped with tips and ideas. Thank you!

It's been a great year! :)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi, I'm Jill and I'm new to this team. I am celebrating adding my tenth item to my shop. It may seem small, but my quilts take weeks to make and I care for a young child full time, so there isn't much time to work.

I've been on Etsy for almost three months and I've sure learned a lot! I'm looking forward to being part of this team and seeing everyone else's work!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Have joined several teams and finally figured out that USING them really works! Did some posts and faves, got nearly 300 faves and a sale back. Am hooked now. I keep posting regularly and except for a few items was only getting minimal views. Hope this team thing will pay off.

Hello All!
I am new to this group but I am celebrating being here on Etsy. I opened my shop in April. I am doing what I love and enjoying every day.
My shop is Sheila Lee's Dolls. They are handmade cloth art dolls with hand painted faces. They have wired arms and legs so that they can be posed. I am looking forward to making many new friends.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/231122785/cloth-art-doll-school-girl-orange-key?ref=shop_home_active_5e... Please stop by my shop and let me know what you think.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Welcome Sheila! I'm celebrating 5200 sales today. It seemed like a nice round number.

Even though I've been here for several years and have enjoyed success, I am still learning, tweaking, evaluating and re-vamping every day. It gets easier with time, but I'm always striving to improve my shop.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

HI, I have been on etsy for a little over a year. Have continually added listings and seen increased sales. I would love to get some critiques of my shop. I get a lot of likes, follows, favorites, etc - but would like to have ideas for how to increase my sales. I have had one sale to Canada since offering international. Have also had a couple of custom orders and sold one original. My shop is watercolor painting and prints done by myself of farm animals.
