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.

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

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I opened my Etsy store on Aug. 2nd of this year and finally made my first sale today. And it is an international one at that. I will be sending my candlesticks to Norway. I was starting to wonder if I would ever sell anything at all. So happy to finally have a sale...now waiting for the next one. I agree with the person who said that it is nice to be able to go to work in your pajamas.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Today is the annyvercery of my 1st year as a full time etsy seller.
I can't belive it has been already a year.

When I quit my day job as a service desk analyst I was worryd, I did not have any large savings or big plans I just know that I want to spend more time on my shop, developing new desingns and enjoying myself, and if it's not working out I always can go back and do a boring desk job.

My first few monts wear a disaster, I barely made enough sales to pay my rent. I tryd not to panic and took that time to creat new items, improove my item pictures and descriptions and a few monts later the sales started to pick up. :)

during the slow months manny of you gave me felpful advices here in the forums and I could not me more gretfull. Thank you all !

Alslo a big thank you for Etsy for beeing here and allowing creative pepole to make they dream come true and bring they creations to life and make other people happy with it.

And most of all a Big Thank You for all my buyer, who belived in my creations and me. Thank you all for allowing me to do what I love. This would not have been possible whitout you guys!

In this past 12 months I made 455 sales and I was featured in 2 magazines .
SoI declare this past year a huge success!
I really hope I will be able to do this for manny years to come and make others happy with my creations.

To celebrate this day I will have a huge sale. I will share the cupon code in the promo section in the forums :)

Happy sales everyone and have a wonderful day !
Gabriella

My first 100 sales!
Yes, I know that 100 sales is very little considering the most established shop, but it was one of my goals for september and I'm really happy to be able to nail this!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am celebrating my first year anniversary of Kettle Yarn Co. and my first month of being able to focus solely on the business, without another income.

Feeling very grateful and excited...if a touch nervous. ;-)

Huge thanks to Etsy for all their amazing business articles and workbooks. They have been SO helpful.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I just made my first sale!! Sure, it was to someone I know, but it's still a really great feeling, and she clicked through from facebook, so that will encourage me to keep up my social media marketing as well.
To all the newbies out there who are still working for that first sale, let me tell you it's well worth it and feels great!!
