im literally thinking about how you manage such tiny things. i turned 50 today and my eyes just arent what they used to be. and then you say you need to get a magnifier, and i didnt feel so crusty anymore lol. i adore your sweetness and your style

Starting a business is honestly easier said than done. I’m like you almost 2 yrs ago watching youtubers who sell at Etsy. Seeing them starting out but already getting busy packing orders and managing their little studio gave me hope that if I start one, I will be like them. I did open my Etsy Christian sticker shop in 2021 (I still run it to this day), but the orders i’m getting is pale in comparison to what Etsy youtubers have gotten on their launching day. 🥺 I honestly feel so deflated. Even to this day, if i’m honest with you, I only earn $189 CAD a month from my shop! Imagine that and I started making my sticker myself-designing, printing & cutting (using cricut machine) & laminating myself- for a few dollars. And I have to post pictures for the listing and making sure everything looks nice, bright and inviting, but still, one year in almost 2 yrs now, still my earnings is still half of what Etsy youtubers have earned on their launching day. 😩 I’ve come to a point where i’m doubting myself and questioning what’s wrong with me for not being able to make it work like them. 😭 Sorry, I don’t mean to be such a debbie downer, i’m sure your journey will be different than mine, as everyone else is! I say go for it still, but keep your expectation very very low! I feel like Etsy youtubers find more success with their Etsy shop maybe because they have a following and viewers who supported their shop upon launching & continually do so. And the more orders and reviews u get on Etsy, the more Etsy pushes your shop up the top for searches. In return, more viewership and awarebess for your shop & products. Either that or they have a background of some kind in marketing or business in general that they know the preparations and techniques to go about selling products and running business in general. Which is why I said it depends on the person. In my case though I had neither the knowledge & the ability, nor the following to support my shop on the get go. I am learning though, & I refuse to close my shop and give up just yet! I am getting more traction now than ever and orders have increased since opening (although no significantly yet). So there’s my honest advice for you dear. Again, my journey will be different than yours. Afterall, i’m sure we have different niches to sell. God bless your future business!! 🥰

@novacapiii8025 Год назад

I just wanted to let you know that you’ve really inspired me and brought tears to my eyes. I once had started to sculpt for a small business dream of mine and my parents shot down that dream. I am barely gaining the courage to pursue this dream once more at age 25 & I’m so happy that you’re living yours. You are an inspiration to others and your art is so beautiful🥺

@roselynferreira6255 Год назад

I encourage you to keep going!! My parents also did this to me. So I totally understand where you are coming from.

@novacapiii8025 Год назад

@@roselynferreira6255 thank you for those kind words, it’s so disappointing how parents who have such a large influence in our lives decide to use it to tear us down. But I haven’t given up! I hope you never give up either💗

@jetsetter9758 Год назад

That's so refreshing to hear.... That you decided to prioritise your needs over the pressure of turning up at school... A part of life's lessons are appreciating & knowing how we can meet our own needs first before the outside world can overwhelm us. I applaud you in your actions👏

@_xstarbutterfly Год назад

By watching this, it motivates me to start my own custom keycaps business. I know in my self that I am talented enough to pull this off but I am scared that no one will support me. The reason why I want to pursue this business is because arts/crafting has been my passion ever since. It makes me feel alive and happy everytime I finish a craft or project. But, thank you so much for this video

I only like last week opened a small etsy shop, but I've NEVER thought to think of the price as not only costs+time, but also just the effort of creating something, something you want.

Just discovered your channel so excuse me for being late lol I appreciate how real you are about classes, being busy, taking care of your health all while balancing a side business. I definitely related while in school I sacrificed school to take care of my body and felt really horrible. Something that most people (and the education system) doesn’t understand. Even now working a full time job in graphic design, I struggle to balance time to do those things - but this year I have made lots of goals and planning to prioritize my passion in art. Anyway lol I loved this video and I can’t wait to watch more of your processes and journey :)

Ugh I LOVE polymer clay 😩❤️ your creations are amazing 🤩 I made something last week (which looks kind of similar to what you made, but it was a kawaii bear that can sit on a door frame) and showed some ladies who came over, and they were amazed! You can make anything with it, and make it look like it was made in a factory professionally. Like people say “Omg how did you make that!?” But like, anyone can learn how to use polymer clay and make it amazing! Like, I think your creations are amazing ❤️ but it’s so easy to use and I really feel anyone can make something adorable with polymer clay. I love it.

@pinkchaos. Год назад

And I’m not downplaying what you made, because you have amazing skill and your creations are amazing, and I also make similar things with polymer clay, and I want people to know that they can make things similar if they put some effort into it, and want them to know they can also do the same, like we did, don’t get discouraged ❤️
