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, I'm Joan and a newbie at selling my latest craft on Etsy. I sell vinyl and rhinestone heat transfer tshirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, hats, and ceramics from my home with much success, but not having that same success on Etsy.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated on how I can obtain more viewers and sells. Thank you.

Oh, and I am celebrating my first 5 orders!

I reached 10 sales!

Ok, 10 sales might not be much to some people, but when you was told for 30 years you're not good enough for anything, it means a whole lot!!!
Time to celebrate :)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I've been with Etsy through three businesses (same business, just changes in partners etc) and have had my current shop since 2013. However, my celebration today is that I finally got my re-branding finished and have posted all of my newest products! Just in time for holiday shopping! I'm hoping to have a lot more to offer in 2017 but today feels like a victory!

I opened shop on Saturday and had my first sale within minutes! It really encouraged me that I was heading the right direction by opening up a 2nd shop focusing specifically on scarves, beanies, and big bow headwraps!
