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

Congratulations to everybody here - isn't it great that this place makes us so happy? ;-)

I'm celebrating my first two sales, woohoo! Also celebrating that I'm finally doing what I love (my project-based day job ended, but I hated it anyway; I decided to take the plunge and start following my heart).

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am so glad for all of you - sat here until I read through all the pages! I made only 15 sales in 5months but I have learned heaps more than I ever did about marketing/promoting and Internet! So, as soon as I have time to make a few more items, I am ready to move forward and start promoting in earnest!
I've had 3 700 views and 929 favorites, I am going to celebrate when I get to 1000!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

This might sound hokey, and I hesitate to post this, but it's such an awesome thing, I feel the need to share (as I have with all of my FB friends!). Yesterday morning, I prayed that if it was God's will, that I would be able to do this for a living. I had only one sale for about two months, then I worked my way up to three, but it wasn't looking hopeful. After I had my chat with The Big Guy, I logged on to find I had made two sales overnight, and then I made another sale as I was verifying their addresses. THEN, I made another sale in the afternoon. THEN, I had two dolls for a custom order today. You guys, I still have goosebumps. You can look at my stats and see that I'm not making this up. I'm in awe and I'm excited. You can bet I'm going to be creating and creating and creating, and my milestone is that I've made nine sales that feel like 900! I'm not pushing my religion on anyone, but I HAd to share. It was such a powerful, immediate response to my question, and I'm just giddy and thankful! Anyway, thanks for letting me share!

Congratulations to everyone!

It's been an exciting week for me, too! I've had six sales, been featured in at least 10 treasuries AND made the Front Page with my Olive and Poppy treasury! Woo Hoo! Can I get a rerun next week? :)
