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'm celebrating because my baby bibs were just featured in a treasury! This is the 3rd item that has been in a treasury. Now just bring on the sales...

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I have been an Etsy seller for a yr this month. My goal was 100 sales by my 1 yr mark.

............... I hit 150 sales this week!!
not bad considering I was inconsistent and such a green horn for the first 6 month! And that I am a stay at home mom of 4 under 10yrs old and design in my "spare time."

shooting for 500 total sales by my second Etsy birthday!

My Autumn Harvest Leaves Fall Wreath showed up in the "Etsy Finds - Hot for Autumn" email today and my views and hearts shot thru the roof. First sale too!
I officially love Mondays!
I joked about making an ETSY shirt that reads:
"ask me why I just wet my pants!"

Hey,
Congrats to BubbleGumDish, Etsy Finds is awesome. It's like winning a little lottery. I am celebrating my lottery win of being on the FP at 8 am and have enjoyed three sales from it. The exposure is wonderful. My to do list just got longer, love it.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Yeah... reached 50 sales this week! Just opened in April with no sales until July. More than half of these have been in the last 30 days!! As a made to order business, I've been crocheting hats like crazy...but "good crazy:)" I feel like things are starting to take off.

Thanks for everyone's great advice! I have learned so much here so far. I totally agree with ParadiseChic...don't give up...just keep working and learning. It's easy to feel overwhelmed in the beginning, but just by tweaking a little every day you will start to see successes.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I made my first sale ever on Monday! It was a friend of a friend, but it's still exciting and it was one of my favorite items. I'll be working hard this weekend to keep the momentum and hopefully make some holiday related sales.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Had my first sale today! One of my very first listings and only listed for 11 days! Plus I was de-stashing a duplicate pattern, so it was nearly pure profit. Great feeling! But not ready to quit my day job....

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I was going to post that I had reached 50 sales, but now am at 52 sales! I have been shopping on Etsy for years, but starting a vintage shop was just something I daydreamed about ... it is going better than I had anticipated & I am learning lessons left & right. Everyone is so friendly & helpful.

So. Much. Fun.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I've recently had my 2,285th sales...

My newest goal is to find the time to become more active on my facebook page. I get good traffic, but the odd thing is that I very rarely post there. I want to make it a fabulous page to visit!

I figure every day that I learn something new to help market or improve my shop is a success!!!
