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!

In the past month I've had 3 custom orders all with more than 3 orders each :) That in its self is a huge accomplishment for me! Plus getting Etsy to even send me an email telling me that one of my goods is receiving a lot more traffic than normal is just beyond amazing!!! :)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

This thread is a great way to share information.

I am celebrating because for the first time since I opened my little shop, I finally have sold my custom soaps in the winter months. The past years I sold nothing in the few winter months in California, but this year I am so happy to have sold a few sales, it shows me there is growth and that I must be doing something right.

I know everyone wants to be featured so that they can get recognition but I truly feel each sale is recognition in itself. I am so grateful for each sale no mater the size and I always count my blessings.

What I do:
Staging - I spend hours staging my items for pictures.
Responds Time - I always respond withing a few minutes of receiving a convo. There are great apps to load on our mobiles that can keep us in touch with our clients all day long.
I can do anything! Always feel that you can do it, no matter how long it takes, how many hours to create a custom order...
Finally do it with LOVE! It will show in the products you put out!

Many Blessings to all my fellow Etsians! -Adriana

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I'm celebrating the successful completion of my second Kickstarter campaign today! The funds I raised will enable me to have a line of 22 of my cat artwork designs professionally printed as giclee prints and notecards which I will be able to sell in my Etsy shop. Creating a campaign requires a lot of homework and hard work, but I highly recommend it as a way to raise "seed money" for large-scale creative projects!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I'm very pleased to have made another sale today. It's been a long dry spell after shifting focus away from Etsy to prepare for a local craft fair (which was NOT a success). Finally getting some traction back.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I just heard the Ka-ching, this time for my 1st physical sale! The first sale was a pattern download so didn't feel like a "real" sale as I didn't have to do anything.

Package is already packed and will mark it as dispatched before leaving for the post office tomorrow;-)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Niceeee

Hello everybody, I love this page and this community and I am preparing to get my shop ready for this site, I am making various wood crafts hand made and ship them from Macedonia.

Bottom line is that I am expanding my shop from other site to this one , so I was wondering if you want to expand your shop on that site! There is deficit for handcraft products and its good for everybody here. Just letting you know , this here is my shop and maybe you will want to open one there as well. Have fun, you`ll see my products with disconts here soon!
