This podcast series is phenomenal! Justin - thank you for hosting such great guests in the industry. Found this episode and the one with AAC incredibly valuable!!

@justinlaser Месяц назад

Appreciate it thanks so much!

@mikelougheed Месяц назад

My two favorite channels on RU-vid in one place!

@justinlaser Месяц назад

Haha it had to happen!!

@asherdiy Месяц назад

Great conversation guys - it’s so cool to hear stories from folks like you who have been in the laser game for 10+ years. I didn’t even know that laser engraving was a thing that could be done outside an industrial factory situation until about 2 years ago 😅 - thanks for the podcast. Cheers.

Thanks man. Those glasses youre doing on the diodes look great!!

@asherdiy Месяц назад

@@justinlaser thanks! Glass is tricky with a diode, but after I figured out a process, it works pretty well. I stopped selling glass engravings on Etsy for now though, because I just know that anyone with a co2 laser could do them so much faster (I.e. cheaper). I’m getting a co2 laser this week though, so maybe I’ll start it up again sometime. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

Justin, you look so much more relaxed! Nailing the format ☺ The two of you are great team. You could make it a quarterly thing. I watched Michael’s video on removing the old engraving! I’d say it was the second one of his I watched. Too funny. I could write paragraphs on how much the insight you both provide means to me and the laser community. Best of luck to both of you on your pivots! Yours can still be zen gardens!

@justinlaser Месяц назад

Haha thanks! I had to turn off my shop A/C during recording and not sure how I survived to the end.

1hr 2 min = The most truth I've heard in years. Great show guys

@justinlaser Месяц назад

Appreciate it! Try to keep them short and sweet.

@EngravedDreams Месяц назад

@@justinlaser I tend to enjoy the longer content when it's good. I meant that specific timestamp 🏅

@kevinrich4637 Месяц назад

What a great conversation! So much information and insight into different ways to have a ‘laser business’ that also relates to all maker businesses. Great show both of you. Thank you for taking time out of your schedules to discuss each of your business plans.

Two great creators in one video. How amazing. Very informative video.

@justinlaser Месяц назад

Thank you appreciate it!

@johnmccarthy2545 Месяц назад

Excellent video, Justin. You guys covered a lot of material in that hour. 👍👍.

@justinlaser Месяц назад

Had to keep an eye on the clock that couldve run LONG with all his knowledge haha.

@bearparts Месяц назад

Great video. Good info for both beginners and upper levels. It all just made sense.

@justinlaser Месяц назад

Thank you!

@passionforparties Месяц назад

Loved this conversation. I do mechanical engraving (trophy shop) but started following you guys ahead of making laser purchases. Love seeing the two people I have found the most informative come together 🏆

@justinlaser Месяц назад

With that kind of background it should be a smooth transition. Appreciate it!

@ALXSHARPEN Месяц назад

This was great I do mostly customer centric but I do have some products that compliment my primary business being a knife and tool sharpening service that also does laser engraving but this is such an important conversation and it's spot on. Funny I kind of do in between but mostly customer centric. I have learned a lot from both of you guys. Agree Tick tock Shop what the Hell I keep getting rejected they want my first born and my pets DNA now!

@justinlaser Месяц назад

LOL especially with the knives man thats going to be an uphill battle with TikTok Shop.

@ALXSHARPEN Месяц назад

@@justinlaser the keep telling me my IRS form isn’t what they want so ridiculous I was going to put my custom cutting boards on it not knives but they seem to reject it for a different reason every time I try and get it done

@Ryan82288 Месяц назад

I will say one downside to product based is stock. For example Richardson 112 hats are the most popular hats out there. But a lot of the colors are hard to find right now. Just a little example.

@justinlaser Месяц назад

For sure. Especially going into the holiday season stock is going to be hard to come by.

@CaliVapor Месяц назад

This is a great comparison video, thank you for posting.

Two of the best

@antkn33 Месяц назад

This was very helpful. I'd like to hear your thoughts on advertising, seo, keywords, etc for a small business. So much hype out there it's overwhelming for someone starting on Etsy, Shopify, etc. Thanks!

@belindahurren2869 Месяц назад

Just watched and great to learn about using black masking tape as jigs. Just wondering if you can use cloth tape instead so it is a bit thicker for jigs?

@ccurry1st Месяц назад

After listening to you both, I have started both types of businesses, customer and product. How profitable or manageable for new laser engraving business with a diode laser?

@justinlaser Месяц назад

With a diode I would focus on product-based. The are lots of limits to a diode laser especially when it comes to materials and the amount of time it takes to run jobs. Customer might want clear acrylic and that cant happen with a diode laser. However there are plenty of smaller and popular products that you can customize with a diode.

@personofnote1571 Месяц назад

Say the name. I get that RU-vidrs need to try and preserve their sponsorships but it drives me crazy that nobody will say anything bad about anything. Lots of laser channels losing credibility on this point, in my opinion.

@TheExtremeElementz Месяц назад

It’s made it so difficult to do research it’s unreal. 😕

@hexahelix 22 дня назад

In a country where you get sued for basically anything, I wouldn’t publicly say the name either.

@johnmccarthy2545 Месяц назад

you can access the content {LMC} for a fee if you paid in advance. and to those who did and are new to the game, i think it was a great event that everyone shared.

@justinlaser Месяц назад

True! I was wondering if they had an "after the fact" pricing available. Might have to ask Emily about that.
