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

Hello, everyone.
I'm also new to Etsy success team. I have been opening my store for 6 months now. I am very shy. It's hard for me to open myself up, however I am celebrating my store today. Because I joined to Etsy success team, opened myself up yesterday, got more than 50 favorites only today.
Thank you very much to Etsy Success team and everyone for support!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

hello I am new to this team and I am loving what I am reading. I love the fact there is honest real discussion. Most teams are promoting teams which I am getting away from. I can't wait to meet other designers and artists and share any tips I can with anyone else!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi everyone,
We launched a fortnight ago. I attended the Etsy course, delivered in Oldham, a couple of years ago - this then kickstarted a roller coaster of a journey over the last 18 months.
To promote the shop I have been out and about visiting traditional business award and networking events. I have had a good response from people who are finding out about Etsy for the first time after I have told them about it and secondly, a fantastic response to what I'm trying to achieve through the shop.

I would love to build on my Etsy contacts and connect with more people. Please message me!!

All the best.

This month has been my best month this year in sales money, however I need to make a couple more sales for the amount of sales. A goal I have is to reach 125 sales this month, praying I can do it.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I've been working my butt off for the last couple of months, updating my shop...I was getting a bit impatient because my view shot way up and I only had 1 sale in April, and a couple in May...but I've definitely hit a milestone last night...I got two LARGE order in two days...My customers bought multiples of one item (6 for one of the listings and 4 of the other) and honestly I'm floored...I was happy with two sales for May, but now this!!!

I want to take 5 seconds to celebrate...ok now back to work!

Cheers! Wishing you all the best!!

Josee

A great review after refunding a customer for excess postage! It's so very good to get good reviews from satisfied customers... :)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Finally got up to 140 listings in my shop. It's hard to maintain though - I'm letting some older listings expire if they aren't selling ... and my 2016 calendars and planners won't be any good come 2017, so they will all expire as well ... lotsa work, ain't it? Good thing I enjoy creating printables!

I'm excited to share that, currently I'm trying to raise funds to help the victims of the big Fort McMurray fire raging in Northern Alberta, Canada right now. Well, I had a lady offer a good donation in exchange for some really cool custom work of a tiger jumping over fire. I love her imagination and I really hope she loves the finished product as much as I love making it! :)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I adore reading these Celebrations! Congrats everyone :)
You inspire!

As for us, we are celebrating enough sales for my husband to come home. He is technically retired, but helped a buddy three days a week. Now thanks to our increase in sales, wonderful customers, plus being in a store, he is full time ETSY all the way!

I have much more to do with marketing, etc. but this is a dream realized!

Best,
LACE & Dave

Celebrating our first sale to Russia! :)

It's wonderfully exciting sending our gear off over the seas but especially to places we dream of one day visiting (perhaps we won't go stowing away with this parcel though... I'm not sure how we'd be received).

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I had a custom order a couple of days ago...This customer asked me to add zippers to four of my bags instead of moving on to another shop that would have had what he was looking for... He placed a large order! That's 3 sales for May for me! I only had 1 sale in the whole moth of April, so that is a big jump for me...I'm doing a happy dance!!

Wishing you guys all the best, I love cheering you on and celebrating with you all!

Cheers,
Josee
