Would you ever consider doing a video about the very basics of a shop, like how to do inventory, ordering prints, calculating shipping etc? And tbh as long as sponsorships are ethical and don’t take up like half the video, I really don’t mind them

@fraymotiff Месяц назад

i would LOVE a how i organize my financial life video! especially for cons and shop restocking

@JulianneDoodles Месяц назад

I’ll add it to the list :)

@Jaeus360 Месяц назад

I agree on this! Would be sooo helpful!

@cweizy Месяц назад

Take as many sponsorships as you want! I personally am happy for you/others who have one, it’s easy/quick to watch.

@user-lw6eq2qg4o Месяц назад

Girl- every time I see you promoting something I'm just thinking " Damn, good for her, making that $$$!!" I understand only promoting what you believe in (I'm the same way lol), but know most of us don't mind the ads. We're just happy you're doing well :)

@ambercarson9736 Месяц назад

I agree! I don’t mind watching even if it’s something I’m not particularly interested in or think seems too good to be true/ scripted (TikTok shop etc). We all have the ability to use our common sense and not just jump on something someone is saying is great. But I’m happy they’re doing well enough to have been offered the sponsorship 🎉

@JonnieJigsaw Месяц назад

My personal take on people accepting sponsorships is I would prefer to have I trust, follow, and learn from to recommend something and be able to continue to support them vs youtube forcing random ads that don’t apply.

@AMPaperandArtCo Месяц назад

I love love love watching this (and all of your videos). It's so refreshing to see someone be so transparent. And I can't tell you how many times a month I quit my art business, close up my shop... then take a nap, dust myself off, and start all over again. Lol. Thank you for sharing!!!

@shinyb4ts Месяц назад

You are such an inspiration! Thank you for being so transparent about all this stuff, your outlook is such a breath of fresh air in the social media art world and it really shows how much you genuinely care about your art/your orders. 💖

@JulianneDoodles Месяц назад

This is such a sweet comment, thank you 🫶🏽

@homebodyplanner Месяц назад

I super enjoyed watching this video while drinking my smoothie. I loved all the talking and the chattiness, the ASMR of the tissue paper sounds and the unsticking the sticker in the end, and most of all your transparency on your business. Thank you for sharing numbers and realistic expectations.

@JulianneDoodles Месяц назад

SO GLAD YOU HAD A SNACK!!!!

@NuriaSaladrigasLarroy Месяц назад

About the coloring book, there are tons of possibilities: 4 seasons (it’s an easy way to include plants, food and animals for every season), countries and you can again include all that items you like that are original from an specific place, food, well mix animals and food is a common image in the kawaii world, inspiring quotes give you a lot of situations and objects, plants or animals to draw, etc

@beepbeepteehee Месяц назад

i love these ideas

@thoughtfulravn 4 дня назад

Thank you for doing this video and answering all these questions. I am a small business artist working full time plus at two different day jobs. I find myself struggling and being very discouraged, and it is very comforting to know that someone I perceive as so successful has gone through some of the same struggles.

@misoandtofustudio Месяц назад

i always get so excited if i see u at the same event! ty for this video i learned some great tips! and gratz on all the orders!

@EmmaFoxArt Месяц назад

I'm so glad I found your channel (this vid was recommended, nice RU-vid)! I've been running my biz for 8 years now and a lot of these tips are great advice. Going to go binge watch all your videos now. 👀

@queen__karina Месяц назад

I am so excited! I was finally able to place an order on your shop ❤ I’m eagerly awaiting my parcel! 😊

@Cloudberry_Illustrations Месяц назад

Just realized that its a new video lol, Thank you for your videos Julianne, im currently working on creating my shop. And its so motivating to see other success tbh (for the moment sharing my art every day here and on Instagram if anyone is interested hehe)

@JulianneDoodles Месяц назад

Haha ya I have another video that’s similar :) good luck with ur shop!

@Cloudberry_Illustrations Месяц назад

@@JulianneDoodles Thank you , thats so scary in the beginning like you dont know how it will work out and you are like not sure what to do and what to not do. Like currently i have sketchbook app on my laptop and graphic tablet and i m not satisfied with my art lol, so im like should i try procreate, or am i jsut bad in illustrating or its really the tools are not so convinient for me. Like its a big investiment so im like omg idk what to do ahah. Would you recomend Procreate or its not really worth it (to buy ipad) and other app can work as good as that (if i buy an android tablet)

@neegic Месяц назад

I love watching your videos Julianne! Thank you for sharing wisdom with a dash of wittiness 😂

@ceceliawong015 Месяц назад

I really enjoy watching your videos and how straightforward you are! It really motivates me to push myself to start, because I get so distracted by work and family. So I always end up telling myself, "oh I can do that later." But my drive then is dead. It’s definitely hard to squeeze time in when I’m working 12-14 hours a day (m-f) but I’m doing little by little while watching your videos. ❤️

@joestoppable Месяц назад

Just received my very first order with you. Everything came in perfect. I was worried at first about the 2 large prints but they were perfect. I cant wait to find frames for them. I've already had a few people at my gym say they loved the stickers on my bottle(the "I'm Toast specifically). I can't wait to see what the future brings. I do hope you expand your product line. But whatever you're comfortable with.

@JulianneDoodles Месяц назад

Thanks so much for ordering from my shop!!!! Selling big prints is so exciting so thank u thank u 🙏

@Zahrah.M Месяц назад

Love the questions people are asking, and your answers are very realistic and insightful! It’s nice to hear as someone who isn’t a fan of putting myself out there on social media that we don’t need to connect our business to ourselves to make it work. What steps do you take to keep PepperCut and yourself separate so the business stands on its own?

@JulianneDoodles Месяц назад

I promote them separately! I essentially don’t promote myself as juliannedoodles at all outside of this RU-vid channel. All my business cards are PepperCut and the posts I make for PepperCut don’t have me in them haha a bunch of people that follow PepperCut have no idea who julianne doodles is and I prefer to keep it that way 😂😂

@Foxysoulbypaige Месяц назад

@jimoran5265 Месяц назад

Also the fact TikTok will take your whole shop down if you have any infringement and you could lose all that money. I loved this video so much.

@nicoler.5467 Месяц назад

Loved this chatty question video! It was really nice to hear about your experience especially as someone else who owns a small business. Would love to see a food themed coloring book if that helps make your choice easier. I also really loved the drawing what you are video, as a fellow foodie I greatly enjoyed that video. :)

@pj59629 Месяц назад

This is a great video thanks for taking the time to share this.

@jennifersaetia3217 Месяц назад

A coloring book with your characters in different scenes or storylines. Also, food illustrations with or without your characters

@leilafalls Месяц назад

Enjoyed the entire video! Okay but what got me is you going to Dokomi this year!! Top bad I'm not going ;(. I live about 2.5 hours away. Applied to it first as my first time as an artist and obviously was rejected lol. But im gonna definitely try again next year!

@cozyandcard Месяц назад

I absolutely love your videos. And thank you for being so open and honest. I also do studio vlogs and I haven’t noticed much increase in sales but my channel is small. I also still love instagram. Can’t wait for my order. 🥰💕💕

@JulianneDoodles Месяц назад

THANKS SO MUCH FOR ORDERING FROM ME!!! 😭😭😭😭 and thanks for the lovely comment i truly appreciate it

@cozyandcard Месяц назад

@@JulianneDoodles Aww you’re welcome! I’m in Scotland so it will take a little while for it to arrive but I am so excited 🎉🥰

@luvitt52 Месяц назад

This was super motivating for me! About the sponsored ads you mentioned, I personally wouldn’t be offended if you did them more often. I only get annoyed with sponsored ads if the content creator is generally disrespectful towards their following or if they have a superficial personality. You seem super genuine and you give us tons of free info, so I don’t mind watching something for your benefit

@insyirahnuri Месяц назад

OMG SINGAPORE??!!! yes PUHLEASE!

@PadmeHum523 Месяц назад

Hi Julianne! I hope Naka Kon in KC went well, I'm so bummed that I missed you being in Kansas City! If you can get into Planet Comic Con for next year's show in March, that would be so awesome! Planet is a great convention!!

@Christina24life Месяц назад

That must be amazing to pack over 200 orders

@JulianneDoodles Месяц назад

It’s truly an incredible feeling, I’m always so so honored and grateful

@lesparza1981 Месяц назад

Finally was able to place an order with you. Love your stuff bt being a mom of four kids money always goes for their things or house.

@esther9433 Месяц назад

If you want to teach people, why not just stream when you draw? You don't have to teach but it would inspire people to draw along. I love the drawing portions of your videos and would love to see them live. Also if you want coloring book ideas, why not center it around your characters? Then they can include food, flowers, and anything in between. I'd love to see that too!

@JulianneDoodles Месяц назад

Great idea! But I’m not so much looking to teach how to draw but more so how to run and start an art business :) I’ll try to add more drawing into my videos tho 😉

@mt72137 Месяц назад

@JulianneDoodles exactly and thank you for doing just that. I love your video. All the best to you! ❤❤❤

Hi! Where did you get the tabs to separate your stickers?

@ashleymasters3562 Месяц назад

My question i wanna know is how much product quantity to start with when first starting out and when to reorder stock when low?

@jenniferklimpel202 Месяц назад

Love your art and watching your videos ❤ I started an Etsy shop Nov 23, and wondering how long before you got traction for your shop to grow and what did you do to gain traction?

@jenniferklimpel202 Месяц назад

I should add that I don’t really know much about growing IG or marketing lol

@Astrianne Месяц назад

Hi Julianne, thank you for this Q&A!! Super informative and motivating as well ^^ Was wondering if you like your printer in the end? I feel like your art is less saturated than what I would make so wondering if non pastel/vibrant colors would work too? I am in printer choice hell

@JulianneDoodles Месяц назад

When I print more vibrant art you can see the different between it and the more pastel art if that’s what ur asking :) in general home printing will always be more dull than professional printed

@Astrianne Месяц назад

I have too much health issues to work, so I want to make a little money of my artshop. Its going super slowly, but I do love it when people are interested in my art. I'm very sad to hear you didn't get into the artist alley at Dokomi... Guess I'll have to wait another year (patiantly) for next year! I am so looking forward to it tho! And omg you are watching twilight in the meantime! I still love those movies and books so much! Even after 15years XD I am really looking up at you as an artist, and as a person. I'm a huge fan. I wish you all the best, and I'm looking forward to more video's! Oh and I tiny little question... >///< Are you open for arttrades? (❁´◡`❁)

@SmolSarahsYT Месяц назад

How would I help draw attention to my booth if I'm disabled and have to sit %90 of the time? I feel bad for sitting but my body just doesn't handle standing well.

@JulianneDoodles Месяц назад

Standing is just one option, plenty of artists sit the entire time and make lots of money! I’d say focus more on making your display eye catching :) this doesn’t always mean adding more things onto it or spending a ton of money, but consider what ur best sellers are and find ways to draw attention to it (displaying it at eye level, if it’s a print blow it up into a poster etc)

@DaniAlexandria Месяц назад

@lowkeysketch5329 Месяц назад

education should be free. I couldn't agree with you more. I'm not gonna name names, but I did sign up for someone's patreon.... not worth it lol. Learning from your neighbor's at artist alley has been much more beneficial for me. And I pass on any knowledge I can to my next neighbor :)
