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!

Yay, I made my first sales yesterday. Three out of my four posted watercolor paintings sold and will be on their way to the Washington D.C. area today. How exciting and fulfilling to know that someone likes my work and is willing to purchase and display it! I am still trying to find the perfect balance in my shop...between header, pictures, descriptions...there is a lot to think about. However, I am glad I jumped in and got the process started, and I look forward to fine tuning things and noting improvements. Thanks, Etsy, for creating such a wonderful marketplace for artisans and the like!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

After a couple years planning to open an Etsy store, I finally got it open in April and had an almost immediate sale. Right now I have download patterns and am building on that but plan to expand in several directions - fabrics, art prints, mixed media supplies, etc. So right now, each step is a milestone!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

YAY - We just reached 100 sales in our shop. And, I have been convoing back and forth with a gal who says she is going to place an order when she gets home this evening. So exciting to be a part of Etsy and to see business picking up. I find Instagram helpful. https://instagram.com/LayeringPieces

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I just started a new collection which I am very excited about! It's called "Urban Color" and features urban photos which are mainly black and white, but contain a splash of color to make certain features stand out. What fun it was to create, and it harbors in a new chapter of stocking my shop! Congrats to everyone for all of the etsy successes. May you have many more (as many as House with 4,000...that IS a wow!).

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am celebrating four years this month as a small business making handmade jewellery and gifts. I started my own small business as well as doing supply teaching in Primary School. I didn't know if it was going to work or not but I wanted to try. I didn't want to wake up one morning and say "What if...?" I wanted to prove to myself I could do it. Lots of enjoyable crafting hours have been put in. I have met so many interesting people and made many new friends. I have learned new skills along the way too. If you have a dream, go for it! Take the risk! If you believe in yourself you will make it happen. xx

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hello to all and thank you for allowing me to be part of this forum. I am Jennifer and I have had my shop open for approximately a month. The shop features finished knitted and crocheted items, supplies such as knitting needles and pattern books. Although I have had a lot of interest, followers and even comments about liking the photos, I have not had my first sale. Any input from my team members would be welcome..................

Thank you
