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

Hi, I'm the owner of Nature Bare! We make handcrafted all organic and all natural body care products for the whole family. I just launched my product line back in September so I have a lot to learn! Had my first international sale today and I'm excited and elated that someone from the UK was willing to take a chance on me and pay extra shipping to try out my products. I'm so thankful and look forward to learning from all of you.!

This was my first sale of this photograph, and I was really pleased because Providence College is celebrating its Centennial in 2017! I hope the buyer has purchased it as part of their own celebration (if they or the recipient are a PC alum.) https://www.etsy.com/listing/174648176/providence-college-seal-8-x-10-black-and?ref=shop_home_active...

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi, I just recently reopened my shop "JillSkyeDesigns" after being closed a long time. I had my shop open a few months in 2014 selling handmade jewelry. I didn't know how to really promote my shop and made one sale, so I gave up. Sunday, I reopened and received one sale from a friend who has admired my work on Facebook, but need a way to get more attention to my shop. I am looking towards teams and promoting on Facebook, but would love to know other ways. I really don't have much in the budget to pay for much advertising, as I am just starting out. I would love to hear advice! Thank you so much!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I set myself a goal last year (that I thought was a tad unrealistic - but a great aim)....
To make 1000 sales in a year.
Set it on the 15th November - and realised yesterday that I've done 1100 with a few days to spare! Yay!
So wonderful to have this forum to celebrate it!

Miley Cyrus wore my rainbow glitter heart ring on NBC's "The Voice" live show this past Monday night. Such a thrill to think that rainbow heart was made here in my small studio here in Ohio & made it all the way to sparkle on live tv.

Hi Everyone, My name is Janet. I have been on Etsy since 2011. I started getting serious about wanting my shop to succeed during the past year. My sales have been steadily increasing. 54 sales this year.

This upcoming year, I plan on taking the time to learn about all the great tools that Etsy has to offer, and how to put them to work for HappyHomeDesignArt, Feel free to send me honest criticism. I am tough and I could use some help!

Many Thanks, please recycle!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I activated my shop a month ago, after it sat unopened since January. This morning I added my 20th listing. No sales yet but plenty of looks. I show up on Google too!! I've joined several teams and have started choosing favorite items and shops. I also have ongoing orders from friends, co-workers, etc. I work full-time, so it's not easy to make time for my store, but I SOOOOOOO want to succeed!!! I know it's just a matter of time, effort, study, and faith, and I'll get there!! Thanks for reading:)!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Yay I'm finally getting people to my shop since having a small drought. Found it tough setting up the site with shipping from Australia, but now I'm hoping it get better and better. Still need to get my tags in shape so that I can get more sales.
Thanks

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I can't describe how excited I am when a STRANGER buys one of my items! I just launched my shop two weeks ago and my first sale was to someone I don't already know in my life. I'm now up to 3 sales to strangers as I call them (plus some sales to friends) and couldn't be happier. Whenever I get the notification on my phone I literally can't stop smiling. It's been such a nice new thing to get excited about these past two weeks.

I'm always so nervous about what I create.. having an etsy shop is forcing me out of my comfort zone - to put my creativity in the spotlight and to be proud of my artistic side. It's scary but im hoping with more sales and favorites my confidence will increase more!
