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

I have just listed my 100th item. It is also coming up for my two year etsyversary on 19th November.

Although I am guilty of neglecting my shop at some points over the last two years ( only 7 sales) I have been working really hard for the last few months editing and adding listings so i am hoping that with the increase in my listings I will start to see some more sales coming in soon. x

Hi Etsy Sellers! I've been selling my handmade jewelry since the spring of 2012. I added Vintage Jewelry about a year ago, after I inherited many pieces. I use gemstones in most of my work. It's been a slow go but I do have a passion for what I do and I love Etsy.

I wanted to share that I made my 100th sale today! Like woohoo. After a dry spell things have been picking up.

Wishing you all the best and thank you for this thread.

Hi Etsy sellers!
I've been selling my handmade leather jewelry just for a few months (since May 2015).
I celebrate my 2 sales! and my 13 admirer till now!

I feel that my shop is not taking off the way I would like, but I still have too much to learn about and I'm not giving up! I think I have wonderful things to share and I want to do it.

Happy sales and happy life to everyone!

I'm celebrating my first sale!!! I had a shop in 2008 and did pretty well, but decided to take my business on the road for awhile which made it impossible to keep my store open. So after many years I have decided to re-open my shop and seeing how difficult it has been since there are so many more sellers than back then. I hope I can have as much success with this as I did at my art and craft shows!

Here is to many more sales to come!!! Good luck to all! Kelly Coronado

I finally have 50 items in my shop. I started my shop in august of this year and I have been working to get 50 items before black friday. Yippee I am finally there.

Although my 50th listing is a custom order that will be purchased today. I guess I have to get stitching so I can add one more listing to keep the count at 50. lol

Big milestone for me this weekend, my work was featured at a West Elm Pop-Up shop for West Elm Local in Virginia Beach! It feels awesome to be supported by such an awesome community!

All the new work I painted for the shop I'm now busy listing on Etsy, hope my paintings will make it into good homes from buyers here in the Etsy community!

I now have 120 admirers of my shop

[WCACCESSORIES]

I recently started selling on etsy and I have 8 sells already and recently received 3 custom made orders. I have 36 admirers and 59 likes on facebook. I am very fortunate and thrilled to share my passion with the world and actually have others who are interested in buying my items. I am grateful.

Congrats everyone! Gotta love Etsy
