I have been crocheting for years and recently fell head over heels in love with amigurumi. I've been trying to muster up the courage to start my own small business and take those first steps. Your video is very inspiring. Thank you!
You're welcome!! Taking that first step to start is the hardest but once you start it will be the greatest reward even though there will be ups and downs, but just remember not to give up ❤️
Just finding you on YT. It is MARVELOUS that you have a partner that asked you those questions and helped you think them through. Too many folk get no respect for their ideas from the people that should support them the most.
I had stumbled across one of your market prep videos where you were making the Bao's. I found your pattern on etsy, messaged you a question. And now I have been crocheting none stop. Got my clearance today for my Christmas craft market to have my animals at the show. Can honestly say you were the inspiration! So glad I found you.
Hi Chloe! I'm a small business owner, and I came to your channel because I was recommended by our mutual friend Shruti! Your videos are quite helpful! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this! Been dreaming of and working towards starting my own business and I think your video was sent as a sign of confirmation/encouragement. Thank you! Sending love ❤️
Hi Chloe! I've been watching so many of your videos and then this one popped up in my suggested feed. I'm so glad it did because I'm working on launching my own crochet business at the moment. I'll be selling more home decor/accessory type items, which I'm creating now, but I have my branding and website set up. Thanks so much for creating this content and sharing how you started your business and continue to run it. I absolutely LOVE your style and your toys. It's so clear how passionate you are about what you do as well. The crochet community is amazing and I wish I would have joined it sooner! :)
Congratulations on your new business!! It's going to be an exciting time 😀 and also thank you for watching as well ❤️. Good luck with everything with your business 😊
Ohmygosh this is so timely for me! I’m just starting MerryMakes and your words resonate so much with me. Totally with you on the questions to ask yourself ❤
OMG, Hi. I just want to give a big THANK YOU. I''ve been thinking about making a small business part time for a while. This video has definitely pushed me forward into starting it. Thank you once again.
I'm so glad!! The first step is always the hardest, but once you start and slowly make progress, it'll be really rewarding. Wish you lots of luck on your small business ❤️
Thank you, every little bit helps to push me forward. I have a small crochet business, Hip Fine Crafts. Been creating for 10 years, getting my patterns worked out and products sale worthy. I just have to figure out how to set up a website. I have logo, cards and products, now I need a forum to sell on. Tried Etsy but was not happy with that. I’ve sold at craft shows which tests the market, and I do sell, but it’s too much work. I have a neck injury which I’m having to work around, I can’t do a regular job so I have to try and make this work. I have lots of supplies, just need to figure out the finer points of selling. 🥰Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Hi Kat, thank you for sharing your story. It's great that you have started and it will take time for your business to grow. There will be highs and lows, but honestly, the reward at the end will be great, just need to be persistent and patient. I wish you the best of luck for your business and hopefully some of my videos can help your business in some way.
Thank you very much!💕 I will graduate from University this year and want to open an online crochet business. However, I feel extremely lost, I understand that I need to take control and make this happen on my own, but I can't help but feel worried and confused about what to sell and what to buy like yarn, package, etc. I am currently still researching to determine what I should sell, even though I want to sell all the crochet items I make 😅 I know that it will be difficult to decide.
I was the same at the beginning. If my hubby didn't sit me down and had me brainstorm a business plan, I honestly would not have started. Take baby steps first, as you don't want to be overwhelmed and slowly check things off your to do list 😊. And soon, you will have a business running. Just remember to be patient, as it does take quite some time to see results 😊
Hello Chloe. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm actually in the process of starting my own small business with my art. I had quit my full time office job of 6yrs after the stress and negative treatment was quite literally causing my hair to fall out. So now I'm trying to get things up and running and videos like these are so helpful. If you're comfortable sharing, did you have to apply for any additional licenses when you registered your business? I know if may be different in the US but I hear some people mention it as part of the process while others don't so I'm just curious. Thank you again for sharing your journey through all of your videos!
Hi Ashley, I'm so glad you're taking the leap! And best of luck for your business too 😀. When I started my business, I applied for an Australian Business Number (ABN) as a soletrader, which essentially is the license. I also registered my business name as well.
Hi there, it depends where you are, in Australia I visited this sites to register my business name, business.gov.au/registrations/register-your-business-name But I'm sure you can do a google search to find the right agency in your country to register your business name 😄
There's actually a setting in wix where you can allocate which country or countries you want to collect tax, and you can put down the amount of tax too. Here is a link that I found to help you 😊, support.wix.com/en/article/setting-up-tax-in-the-wix-owner-app You can also get tax reports so that when it comes to tax time, you have all the data ready 😊
Yep, I have registered my business and have an Australian Business Number(ABN). I've also registered my business name as well 😀. I definitely encourage anyone who is starting a business to do those two things 😊
@@miamercado8151 don't have a business licence, but I am assuming the business number is that, the reason registering for a business number is for legitimacy of the business, but also for tax purposes, I currently pay tax for my small business, don't want to be evading taxes 😅
