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'm celebrating because all this weekend I had several item favorites and some shop favorites as well which is great because to me that means growth I have gotten some favorites and such but it's so nice to hear that more and more people are noticing my shop and especially on Sunday, that day is usually dead for my shop!!!!!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Wow, lots of inspiring stuff in this team! We have been open since December 2015 and it's been a slow start... but we're hoping that we are now beginning to find our feet!

We are celebrating sending some of our earth-inspired jewellery & natural toys to America! and also receiving a positive feedback this week for one of our miniature tipi play sets :-)

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed and 'lost' in the sea of amazing shops and creative people, so these milestones feel important!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I had three sales last year in total. I wasn't all that bothered with my shop but this year I have redone all the photography myself, added more items to my shop and designed them myself. As a result of taking an online Etsy shop earlier this year and making a few major tweaks I made 19 sales this year and the year isn't even over yet

My small shop is growing and I am beyond excited at the growth, whoo hoo!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am celebrating because I had my first international sale of an original oil painting that went to Canada last week! It was a small gallery wrapped canvas painting of a local point of interest here in the Quad Cities. I am also celebrating that a fine art photo of another local point of interest in the QC was sold to a local restaurant! I have been selling on etsy for around 5 years or so, but only recently began selling fine art photography and giclee prints, so every time I get a sale, I must go EEEEEP!!!

Also celebrating that I finally found a website company that works really well for me and my art business: http://www.mariestephensart.com still needs a lot of TLC, but I am excited that the results should come easier than with the previous company I was working with! It will be a hub to contain links to all of my etsy shops, and my other products sold elsewhere. CHEERS TO ALL!!!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Announcing to the group that I'm UP for a possible SCREENPLAY for my last book........ "Stabbing Pencey Boudreaux".

I'm a beginner to writing screenplays. A novice. I was approached by a production company to do the screenplay for me and pitch it. I told them I have knowledge of writing screenplays, but not as a professional. They will look it over and see if the book has potential. I will let you know how this pans out. Thank you!

I'm elated at this news.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I'm (nervously!) celebrating the re-opening my shop on Etsy after 3 long years away! Never really took off the first time so I'm hoping second time's the charm.

Have a look if you have a chance, it's currently ink sketches of wildlife but I'm in the middle of branching out into typography, plants and developing my cards to include a Christmas line.
