Official Success Celebration Thread!

[#1]

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

Hi, my business is called Esani and I design business logos. I am a graphic designer from Perth Western Australia.

You can buy a professional logo instantly for a very affordable cost. You can either purchase the logo symbol and add your own business name in a program like Word or Photoshop or you can choose a logo and I will add your business name and adjust colours to suite.

Starting a new business is exciting but a lot of hard work so take a look at my shop and make the logo designing process instant and easy.

Opened my shop a week ago, im very much new to this so fingers crossed!

Sales have been trickling in quite slowly since I opened my shop over a year ago, but I did sell a hair clip last week. The ridiculous amount of time I spend promoting on facebook, pinterest, twitter and in the forums and teams is starting to pay off!

[WendyWildcraft]

Reached 400 sales! Thank you Etsy

[JudyHandmadeCreation]

Celebrating 625 sales for the year so far, almost as much as last years total and it's not even Christmas yet. ...
I also have a Facebook page but not sure how many sales are a result of Facebook, any way to find out?

This may be a crazy thing to celebrate but it was exciting for me...I went to the Country Living Fair in Columbus, Ohio yesterday and was blown away by all of Etsy sellers that I met. Everyone was incredibly kind and we had instant camaraderie when they learned that I was a fellow seller.

I often feel like a solo pilot and it was so wonderful to meet other sellers in person. What a wonderful community we have on Etsy...I'm so thankful to be a small part of it!

A bit tardy in my celebration but it's never too late to toast a first! Feeling oh so cosmopolitan imagining Bungalow42’s earrings spinning about the British Embassy in Albania.

[Former_Member]

Maybe my celebration is silly, but I have now been in business for a year and have even more passion than ever to continue!

I think all of us are doing something that many people find next to impossible to do (although they want to!) - find enough courage to start a business, no matter how big or small. And NOT GIVE UP!!!!

So clinking of my glass with all of yours! : ) (I would like champagne please...) : )

Total 60 sales!

Good achievement for my first year on Etsy.

[TwistsnGems]

Celebration day today! Just had my 60th sale! A goal I had set to reach by the end of September, and I still have 10 days to go!!

Second, I am finding I am being searched through google ads, and about 6 or 7 more google engines, so this is progress for me.

[Former_Member]

Hello, I make a lot of whimsical fashion items centered around the themes of fairy tales, woodland creatures and Alice in Wonderland. I spent a lot of time hand making my items but just recently opened my shop and listed some items! It would be much appreciated! Thank you~

[ElaSeaGlassJewelry]

Hello, I am Gabriela and my shop is "Ela Sea Glass Jewelry".
https://www.etsy.com/shop/ElaSeaGlassJewelry?ref=hdr_shop_menu
As the shop name say i make sea glass jewelry and other gemstone jewelry. So far i added 14 listings, however i have many more products to add on. I am a perfectionist (so it takes me just a little more to add listings on) and love making something with my hands. I am so eager to learn about new techniques and now beside wire wrapping i am doing cold connections and soldering. I am an American/ Romanian and i want to bring something from my cultural background in my designs (soon to come collection).
I will like to thank in advance to my new buyers (i haven't had any sales yet) but i know will come. I sold so far to my friends and coworkers from the new pieces before it even made it to Etsy listings so i know they are beautiful :)
Thank you for reading my post and please have a look at my shop and favorite my listings and shop and BUY some too.
