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.

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.

• 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

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hello! I've been hanging around here for a while and love this thread. I'm so pleased today because this milestone somehow excites me more than my first sale or my first sale with multiple items ever did.

Well my name is Becca and I have been selling on etsy of over a year But I have really only gotten serious about it since January. And today I made a sale within hours of listing the item!! I don't know why but I just feel very excited about it. Probably because I've gotten to the point where I have my own laptop and My own printer and everything flows really nicely when I get and order. I won't even get into what it was like when I first started!! so there you have it. It was wonderful and so worth all the struggling. I can't wait for the next milestone that makes me say "Wow! I'm really doing it!!"

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hello everyone!
I'm celebrating my first Etsyversary today and I'm so excited! I'm so proud to be a part of a great community.
At the beginning I was disappointed and I wasn't so successful. But, instead to give up I decide to research how to improve my shop, to study the SEO and how to make a good photos of my items. I made my own definition ''I must, I will, I can''.
So, after lots of hard work I made my shop to look professional and I made a sale just couple of days after I changed everything in my shop (photos, titles, descriptions, tags).
After I finished the changes I said ''Now I can sell as a pro'', and I'm so proud on my work!

I would like to thank you all for your support!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

My big achievement is that I have taught myself graphics and converted all my hand drawn patterns over. I don't sell enough to warrant spending on pattern making soft wear so have used a draw program anyway I'm proud of this, I didn't think I could do it.
