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!

Adrienne, I "favorited" your shop for 3 reasons...to make your wish come true, because I love your paintings and I love Maine :)

Well, this is my first year on Etsy and I don't have a success story yet but I'm so excited about the new year.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Congratulation, Kelly- you deserve it. My kitties are bonkers for your toys!

When I started last year, I thought I'd do more sales than I have, but I quickly realized that building business takes time. Even this month, I never thought I'd make 500 sales by the end of the year, but I did! It's a really nice way to end the year. I don't know what next year will bring, but I'm hoping to keep some momentum and work on ways of improving my shop.

There are so many talented and committed sellers on Etsy- I feel honored to be a member of this community!

Congrats to all who are on the way up! I moved this year so I was not able to accomplish as much as I had hoped, but overall, it was still a good year. I'm looking forward to 2013 being even better!
