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 have hit 30 sales in a little under 5 months! I looked over at my completed sales and seen the number 30 and instantly ran to this thread! I love that Etsy is full of supportive and helpful people I am trying not to jinx it either but I have only received 5 star reviews :)

@PrairiePrimitives that is great!
I reached my 100th sale a couple days ago. I'm thrilled and hope for many more.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!
I'll be celebrating for quite a while that I finally got my first Kickstarter campaign--the Bespoke Collection--launched. It's been lots of work organizing photo-shoots, video-shoots, creating new pieces, and all of the promotion, but it's finally up and ready to be funded!
I'm incredibly excited! Fingers crossed we meet our goal!

I sold 24 items today! I am content to sell one item a day so was not the norm for me. Doing a little happy dance around my table!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!
I received my first sale! I'm so excited. I couldn't even speak for a while just held the phone looking at the notification saying 1 order. Lol. I've since gotten 2 custom orders from my Facebook page. Yay me!

I found Reddit!
I also started a blog which I am proud of so far. It still needs some work but have a look for yourself.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!
Hi, everyone! I'm so pleased to be on the team. :-)
My business name in full is really Alan Cordiner - Polymer Clay Creations.
I make things from, surprise, surprise, polymer clay. At present, I just make jewellery, but chose Polymer Clay Creations as a name because I know I will want to make other things - like journal covers and boxes etc. - so didn't want to limit myself.
My milestone is opening my Etsy shop. I wanted to do this over a year ago, but family illness prevented it. Looking back, I don't think I would have been ready back then to open the shop and so now is a much better time. Funny how setbacks can sometimes turn out for the better - so never be downcast. We should all stare at the backs of our TVs sometimes - so we know how to face setbacks! :D ... I'll get my coat!
I look forward to being able to report my first sale. I've only been open about three weeks and I know I have to be patient - and fine tune my shop in the meanwhile. I'm so pleased to be selling on Etsy at last though. :-)

Celebrating 100 sales! It has been a long journey, and 100 sales over two years may not seem as a great success, but it is a special moment for me, and it feels good. It is just a beginning! :) Thanks to everyone that supports handmade! ♥ Rumi
