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!

1500th sale today
I opened my Etsy shop in July 2012. It took until December 2013 (a year and a half) to get to 100 sales. On January 10th, 2017 I received the 1400th sale and it took only 40 days to go from 1400 sales to 1500 sales.

You can do it too

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi! I'm so milestone-centered so this thread is exciting to read. I'm Rashel, the creator of Pacific Crest Silver. I make hand wrought sterling silver jewelry. I have given up my day job and work solely as a silversmith. GOALS are where it's at. Right now I'm working toward 200 active listings. I'm at 100 and know with persistence and continuity I can get there within a few months. I find the more listings I have, the more orders my shop receives. And since I am looking to make my business financially supporting, I need more consistent sales. OH! And did I mention I LOVE what do!? :) Other milestones I am working on: increasing efficiency in my work, having a balanced inventory to meet EVERYONE's needs, & increasing revenue.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Yaaaaasss! I just reached 100 Active Listings in my Pacific Crest Silver inventory!!!! This has been a short term goal for a LONG time, but I've had so many sales (224 to be exact), that I couldn't replace my product fast enough. I streamlined my way of making jewelry, changed my pricing (thanks Etsy for the great tutorial!), worked really hard, and VOILA! 100 Active Listings!!! Next goal.... 200 YO!!!! I'm comin' to getcha!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi! I'm new to this team. I'm Mama from Mamawritesreviews.com and my shop is MamaSellsStuff. My shop consists of a lot of things for planners such as ribbon paperclips, planner bands, discbound punched paper and covers. I also have party packs, graduation packs, anniversary packs, shower packs, and save the date packs of ribbon paperclips to make them unique and unforgettable (The plan is for recipients to clip the invitation to their planners or calendars so they ALWAYS see the save the date or invitation!)

I lucked out. I got my first international sale within a couple weeks of ordering. They ordered some Ladybug paperclips! I try to keep my shipping as low as possible without losing money so maybe that helped me stand out a little!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi there! I opened my shop about two weeks ago and have been busying myself with reading just about everything I can find about how to hit the ground running selling digital products in Etsy.

My shop seems to be a constant work in progress so far, so feedback, critiques and suggestions are welcomed with enthusiasm. Thank you all, and happy selling!

It's so lovely to read everyone's success stories. I just recently opened my shop this month where I sell vintage jewelry and accessories. I still haven't experienced my first sale yet but i'm very excited for it! :). Good luck to all the newcomers like myself and I wish everyone a lot of success and joy in what they do! :)
