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

All successes, big or small, are awesome.
So happy that in the couple of weeks I've been open I've made eight sales and I'm looking forward to making more. :3

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Congratulations to everyone on their success stories!

My celebration today is that my website is finally up and running! It has been under construction for several years now. We stay quite busy in our local area and not everyone here is familiar with Etsy. The new website has all of our social media links in one place, along with some general product information and we still direct shoppers to Etsy to checkout.

www.delicatebynaturehandcrafts.com

It still feels great to have a place to link everything together and we'll be able to add and modify features as we learn what our customers would like to see. A baby and yet giant step toward a bigger online presence! Everything seems more cohesive now!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi all

I have just posted two new listings to my shop, and I am celebrating the excellent advice given to me by one of our team members. I've found a program to lighten up my photos and it makes a world of difference!! I still have to find the time to go back to the already listed ones and change them, but I can see the difference this advice made.

Thank you so much, team
Mary Ellen

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am so excited to share that I've reached my goal of 225 sales. Now I can aim for my next 'milestone' of reaching 250 sales -- hopefully by Christmas. (:

Congratulations to everyone else who is celebrating some sort of shop milestone!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am celebrating the fact that some of my products have been chosen for treasuries. I am in the Uk so i do struggle to get sales as i feel like etsy is unheard of here. I am looking into international shipping now so it should boost my sales. Im getting good at SEO so i feel like im getting found now as before i was just a shop in a dessert 😬 i am celebrating things like i have updated my photos my tags titles and my general whole listings and its taken me months to get to a stage where i can see my shop being good now and looking professional. This will help megain more sales and im making and adding more items into my shop. The only way is up now. Congrats to everyone you have done so well with your sales it's definitely something to celebrate. If anyone has any tips for me then please feel free to convo me i have only been 6 months. 😀👍🏼 im always willing to take on sellers advice and knowledge to improve my shop further.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hello everyone and happy holiday season.
I live in the woods and love to create.
I've just opened an etsy shop and excited to be a part of the etsy community. I'm new to etsy success. It's fun to see what other makers and shops are up to.

So far I've got up some gorgeous hand dyed silk scarves.
I also do beautiful beadwork, crochet and felt and some of that good stuff is coming soon.
Good luck to everyone.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I was just interviewed by our local news station! I was promoting a group of local Etsy Sellers in Charlottesville, VA that are having a Cyber Monday sale. I hate being filmed but I took the bullet for the group and did it. Here is the clip. So far it has run 3 times!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I made my 400th sale in November and I am beyond thrilled! Joining Etsy has been such an adventure. It was slow the first couple months and I kept at it and slowly it started to pick up.

So thankful for the opportunities I have had with Etsy and the people I have met! Hope everyone has a great Christmas selling season!
