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!

I opened my shop on July and made 2 sales. 1st sale on the second week:)
I sell journal elastic band (pen holder). My first buyer is a member of a journal club on Facebook and she said she will recommend my shop to others. It made me excited.

I want to take your advice about my product name. I am not clear about it. What would you enter in the search bar if you were a buyer?

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am venturing into a new concept for my shop: Jypsy Jewels. Bridal Jewelry, Bridesmaids Gifts. I was very nervous at first. I started my shop 6/11 with Hippie beaded necklaces. Gradually moved into chains, charms and pendants. I have learned a lot from watching videos, tutorials, and other shops. Not to copy of course; just fascinated by their business savvy. I hope with this new adventure, I can help make Brides Weddings memorable.
