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

I work a lot every day over sales in my store, I try very hard! But, unfortunately, so far only 7 sales!

So I am celebrating the fact that I finally, finally had the courage to enter a contest! The Etsy Difference That Makes Us competition and I seriously went back and forth about if I was good enough or not. But one of my goals is to start trying for things and not being afraid!

Please consider voting for me! http://wshe.es/stYaCAaW

I'm finally seeing some sales come in. I guess people want to learn hand lettering more than they want to buy my art. Oh well. That's my new niche for my business, teaching hand lettering.

I'm celebrating that I finally started my own Etsy team because I can't stand all of the promotion in this team anymore -- and the fact that the team captains have seemed to be MIA for months.

If you are fed up too, it's "Etsy Success Team" (super original, I know).

my first post here and I am celebrating my 100th sale this week and very pleased to have reached that milestone... but I am FOREVER Tweeking my SEO and Tags...it is like a Magic formula and if anyone has ant hints I'd LOVE to hear them!

[Former_Member]

It's nice to hear about all success stories here on Etsy. Other then gaining like about 70 shop favorites and about 700 item likes I don't have much to celebrate. I mean I am still waiting for any sales on Etsy. I hope it's coming soon 😊

[JuneSixth]

Just reached 60 listings!

[readytoshipproducts]

Reached 226 sales

[WilzCreations]

We have reason to celebrate!! Our shop has now reached 200 sales!! My wife and I have worked so hard to reach this. We started off very slow as im sure most do. We have put a lot of time in to learn what all Etsy has to offer. From SEO, to posting in the forums, to offering coupon codes, etc. Thank you to all who has provided us with advice, answered questions, or purchasing one of our products.

Thank you

Richard and Amber Wilz
