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!

Hi all,
Congratulations on all of your achievements! Large or small, they all count!

At the end of last year I was very pleased to get to 100 listings, the trouble now is keeping there. I am very pleased to say this year has started well and I really hope the momentum keeps up. So far this year my revenue has almost equalled last year. I need a lot more business, but Etsy is starting to work for me.

I have also opened a second shop selling supplies. It's far from perfect yet, but I haven't dedicated much time to it. I am planning big things though.

Keep up the good work everybody. I do enjoy reading news of your success (even if I do get a little jealous from time to time).

All the best,
Damian

Hello, I am very glad to know that people like you are succeeding in ETSY. For me things are though and I have not started making money on etsy. But I will continue the journey no matter what.
Thanks

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I made my first sale for 2016! And it was a big one - 6 of my slate & tile magnets. The package is on its way & hopefully I'll receive some good feedback. Now I need to make some more to get my number of items up to 50!

Whoot Whoot Finally Made it to 100 Listings. www.etsy.com/ca/shop/EmilyJohnstonDesigns

Now that I've hit this milestone I plan on refining and changing out items instead of just listing new ones so I have more effective/desirable listings rather than just a shop full of items no one wants. Here's to the next 100!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Celebrating my 10th sale on Etsy! I had two orders on the same day this week, so that is encouraging. I have been working hard on SEO and updating the tags and descriptions on my Etsy store.
