0:00 Welcome
1:02 I did my very first market last Saturday, and it was so much fun! I’m preparing to open my Etsy, but am wondering if establishing my business as an LLC should be done first? (It’s in process)
2:25 After my market I realized there is a category in the $15-20 range I am not getting. Of your patterns, do you have a suggestion that’s cute or practical that takes an hr to an hr and a half to make? 15:50 I want to open an etsy shop this fall, i have 2 questions for you: 1. How much would you charge per finished item to account for pattern cost. 2.would you recommend making a bunch of item before opening and then listing only when things are done or making the items as they are ordered
19:00 hey, your claire beanie is a huge hit for all the people i have made it for...thankyou from Australia
21:50 How do you like to package earrings?
29:37 What is your favorite machine for printing Etsy shipping labels? Or do you just use a printer?
31:22 do you tag wearables with washing instructions?
35:35 How do you keep your etsy keywords organized? Currently I just have them in a notebook but I feel you may have a better system.
47:19 do you sell a template to use to create your own?
51:00 As I’m getting more excited to focus on my ideal audience, is it still ok to share crochet friends’ content on social media-like yours), or does that hurt my business in the long run?
52:19 My 11 yr old sells her crochet at the summer farmer’s market. Is her stuff something I can sell as it’s own category on Etsy or no that’s not ok? I have been telling her I would definitely ask!
