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

I had my first international sale! A ceramic pendant is on its way to Australia. I totally miscalculated the postage and it cost me $6.00, but worth it, Still learning.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

In the world of graffiti/street art, stickers are refered to as 'slaps'. I guess it's from the action of slapping the thing you want your sticker stuck onto.
I just thought it would be funny to call it what i did. OpenHandSlaps usually gets a chuckle from businesses i deal with, but it takes away any integrity i might have had. Haha

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hey everyone. I'm new to Etsy. My shop has been open a month now. I've made 7 sales. I am still struggling to get more sales... any advice is awesome. I make and sell baby blankets, wash cloths, fabric moccasins, diaper covers, and burp cloths. I just started learning to make winter boots to go with the season since my fabric moccasins are sandals kind of. I'm also learning to make pants in lieu of the diaper covers as well. I haven't done a custom sale yet, even though I embroider.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am a revisit to Etsy. I opened my shop years ago, and was not ready for what it entailed. I did not have the time to spend on it or the energy.

I recently had a baby and my older sister reminded me of the Etsy shop I had opened years ago. I decided my goal was different in life now that I had a little one (again), I wanted to be a full time stay at home mommy!

I do have 2 other children but they are school age.

My family all has a craft project that they do for the business and we mostly do craft fairs. But I would like to go full speed ahead with Etsy!

I am into Jewelry making, and my husband is into woodworking.

We started out business around 2010. I'm looking forward to my first sale!

Hi, Folks! Stix+Steel is about taking my passion for wood working using live edge wood and reclaimed oak barrels with welding metal to turn it into functional furniture, wine racks, flights, and home decor, What's great is using the Stats dashboard to hone in on key words, listings, etc. Please check out my store. Appreciate any feedback and critique as a rookie seller!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I just made my 300th Etsy Sale!!! It's been a year and a half since I opened my shop...things went very slow at first, then picked up after 6 months and have been increasingly better each month as I've listed more and more items. I currently have 368 items listed.
I love this team as it's been very helpful to read the threads and learn along with everyone. There are many helpful people here.
Thanks everyone & blessings to you all,
<3 Jewel

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

HI everyone, my name is Rachel and my store is Bead and Bar Jewellery. I started making jewellery as a way to relax and bring some passion and happiness back into my life. Someone suggested that I open up a shop on Etsy and I was nervous at first but I gathered some courage and started it. I have really enjoyed the process and I find it fun to see when people have checked out my store.

I recently reached a milestone in July when I made my first sale! I was so excited to know that someone out there was actually interested in what I was making enough to buy it. This really encouraged me and made me quite happy.

Unfortunately I haven't had much luck since then but I am working on some new items that will be up soon. I welcome any advice that anyone has to offer.

Thank you
Rachel

I'm celebrating showing up on the 3rd row on Google Shop when searching for "navy men's dress socks." I've spent several hours working on my titles, tags and seo's and it's starting to feel like it's paying off
