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

Well my milestone is that I have passed the 500 sale mark - so, I am happy.
Jesus! - your work is great! I think you need more pictures in your shop and perhaps some variety in subject matter? Also turning some of your originals into smaller prints gives you a wider range of price options for people to choose from.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Third sale in my shop in the past week! This after I raised my prices from wholesale to retail, redid photos, tags, titles.

Three pairs of earrings at $70+ each! I am astounded.

I've been posting my three most viewed items every day on Twitter, Pinterest, Wanelo, and Craftori. I've noticed an increase in views too.

Spring is being good to me :)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hey! I just reached 50 sales today and since I opened my shop in November, I'm pretty happy with how things are going :D
I'm working my own jewelry business for 3 years or so and had a few "professional" rough months since last summer... opening my Etsy Shop was such a breath of fresh air!! It really encouraged me to keep on going with my passion.
Good luck everyone! Every step is an accomplishment!

I worked so hard yesterday and today to reach this goal and I'm finally there :)
Today was my 4th sale of this WEEK! Not bad at all, considering I only have a few sales in one month! Super exciting!

I open my shop in november and had just 5 sells since. I redid photos and tags many times and tried different items. But it is still slow. They say jewelry is very competitive, but still ...

Congrats on your first sale, Chantel S! I can still remember how exciting that first sale was... All these stories are awesome - congrats to everyone else, too!

I just got my first magazine feature - my little welcome sign is in the April issue of Nails Magazine. The next time you're at the salon, check it out (page 98 - it's online, too). Yay!

Today I was featured in a treasury for the first time. It is a small thing I know but it made me smile from ear to ear. I am including a link to the Treasury : http://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTkxMjc3MzB8MjcyMTU5MzY5Nw/beauty-by-hand?index=0
