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!

I just hit my sales goal for the month with 9 days to go!! :D I usually don't sell more than 6 items a month in my shop. I have made many improvements and seen consistent growth over the past few months so I set my goal for 10 for August and I hit it!! I am thrilled!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I've had six sales so far this month. That may not sound like much, but it's an all time high for me. So I'm pretty excited!

I was really hoping to sell 10 items this month and would still like to see if I can reach that goal!

I am only a few sales shy of hitting 300. I'm so excited. I am fully confident that I will hit 300 before the end of the year.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Doing a little happy dace! I just filled my first page!
I know that most people seem to do the happy dance at 100 items, but for me, filling out my first page feels wonderful! I am really taking advantage of these slow days and am making more stock. Hoping for some fine sunny days to help me with my photography!

@ Lydia: Congratulations! Wishing you many more sales!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Since this is an official celebration thread of the "Esty Success" team, I will move my info to here.

I emailed the blog owner about a month ago and asked if she would look at my shop and consider it as a feature for her blog.

I am so excited that my little shop has just been featured on her a blog! Wow - so very excited. Definitely a motivator to start adding more to my shop!

Check it out. I'm the third shop down - burp cloths: juliemarieshop.blogspot.com/p/welcome-to-sellers-showcase.html

Here is a take-away lesson for me, don't be shy to ask. They can always say "no," but they can't say "yes" unless you ask.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

YAY, sales like buses....

No sales for a while and 2 in the space of 1 minute :-)

Still hitting the current trend of 1 blanket sale a month and my patterns (all 2 of them lol) are starting to sell as well.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I am a relatively newbie to Etsy so things are going rather slowly... at least in my eyes. However, I am happy to report that many of my items have been featured in treasuries and just about a week ago I reached an important milestone of having 100 items for sale in my shop. I've also been honored to have one sale with a total of $100! Today, I am hoping to reach another.... having 100 views in one day. Can I do it? We shall see... I'm up to 60 and the day is only half over! :-)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I love the excitement and enthusiasm of this thread. We need to celebrate every milestone and be thankful to Etsy for giving us this opportunity. I don't know anywhere else that I could sell like I have here. I just passed the 3000 sale mark and I am walking around with my head in the clouds.
