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!

Good morning! This is actually my second time running a shop on Etsy after a years long break (my first shop is on an indefinite vacation because my sewing room does not exist in my new home!). So I'm re-learning how to Etsy.

My milestone this weekend is that my shop is starting to have a personality of its own - I added my banner, have updated my About Me, and have added six listings. I have created a Facebook page, IG, and Twitter, too. Slowly but surely building this new owl-filled space.

SO MUCH LEFT TO DO! I'm sure this shop will keep morphing into something beautiful. It's good to be back on Etsy. Keep up the good work that you do within your own shops.

We just went over our 800 sales mark. It hasn't been an easy road and I seem to have to advertise with the promoted listings in order to have any degree of success. Our best to all the Etsy sellers!!

We reached 2000 sales! It took 4 years to reach 1000 and 2 years 9 months to reach 2000. Onward and upward.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hello! All, I'm celebrating taking the plunge and opening my own shop! I make hand poured pillar candles which I have been giving as gifts over the last few years. After much prompting and encouragement from friends and family, I finally decided to try my hand at Etsy.
Over the course of this weekend, I created the shop, an Intagram, Facebook page, and my first batch of candles specifically for the shop.
I look forward to learning how to optimize my page and grow my infant business!
Here it is, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

In response to Sierra Craft Candles

A very clean crisp and cohesive shop.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/579224444/handmade-green-pillar-candle-with-black May I make a suggestion. In descriptions, give the approximate burn times, because I too want to know. I'm interested in a couple of our candles.
Being active on the teams does have multiple benefits.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I re-opened my shop a few weeks ago after being closed for 3 years or more, I have sold three items already and had great reviews so I am pleased that my customers love my crafts and paintings, this is important to me, the happiness of my customers, I work hard to please and communicate with my customers to make sure all is good.

I'm working on a customer order at the moment, a shopping bag, my customer wants particular design and chose her fabric in a shabby chic, I'm very creative and love to make beautiful things and |I am always delighted to have happy customers

Its good to be on this team, I will go read some of your messages.

have a good day

Your team friend Sue, I live in the UK
