Official Success Celebration Thread!

[#1]

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

Loving my Etsy shop and customers.

In January, I got this lovely review:
'I love, love, love this crochet ring! I have always had major problems with tension and had all but given up on crochet, certain that anything I might start would end as a warped mess. Until now! It took a couple tries to figure out how it worked best for me, but since I did, I've been flying along. My blanket actually looks like a blanket! Thank you for making crochet fun again.'

Hi All,
Just opened my new shop on Etsy which is actually a dream come true for my venture - Artistic ceramics in the arena of bath and beauty.
I’m a professional ceramist specializing in metallic luster glazing.
You're welcome to have a look :)

Hi all,
After three years of very calm waters... we sold two painting in two weeks!! we are so excited. We are a art studio based in Uruguay, our master artist is Mariana OIaso (www.marianaolaso.com); all paintings are handmade oil on canvas. We have all paintings in the US now in order for the shipping to customers based in US and all over the world is less expensive.

I would love to listen to any experiences and take advises. It has been very difficult for us to sell. We only do team work.

Hope you all have a wonderful week and lots of sales!

I have recently opened up my etsy shop and have luckily made my first sale. I understand the process of gaining regular sales may take some time but I would love to hear any advice from more experienced sellers in how I can get my shop seen more by people.

I sell phone cases designed by myself, so please have a look at my shop if you have time.
I am open to any feedback :)

Hey there,

I'm so excited to announce that I'm one order shy of 3000! The person that places order number 3000 will be gifted a mystery pair of earrings.

Love being an Etsy seller and am feeling blessed to have this amazing platform to sell my jewelry on.

Siggy♡

Hello, I have just opened up my new Etsy shop.

How do I get traffic on my shop? I have followed all the advice on putting the right tags and catchy titles. Can anyone help?

Thank you :-)

I finally restocked my Etsy shop jaracreations.etsy.com after a huge period of time. I changed everything in my shop and I am very proud of result. More items coming soon, but for me the main goal was to start doing something. Today I celebrate!!!

[TeaHillCottage]

• You made your 1st sale / 1st international sale / 1st custom order
I just had my first few international sales this past Fall. Ive sold to Portugal and twice to Australia!

• You reached (x) # of sales
Just passed 200 and hopefully lots more to come!

• You received positive feedback from a buyer
Currently, the shop is at a five star average but we only have about 30 reviews right now.

The newest thing I'm celebrating is designing a shirt for my shop. Some friends have been asking for shirts for a while and I just finalized some designs! Hopefully this helps build a little bit of local brand awareness!

I want to celebrate the fact that I actually started an Etsy shop! I have been using Etsy for well over 6 years now, and have always thought about starting one. We finally opened shop about a week and a half ago! Looking forward to growing with Etsy and the community!

Hi! I am new to Etsy, started in August 2016 and it is the best thing I have done! I am learning so much everyday, by reading in the forums and here, in this team. I am working hard with my photography and Instagram...I have been tweaking my SEO and it has totally paid off!! I have had my 40th sale today...yey;))) and I am featured in Editors Pick - Gifts for her under £50. I am so very grateful.
I feel motivated to keep going!
