As a Mexican girl who's native language is not English is really nice to see people like Fran online. When she says things like "prove" instead of "test" and immediately corrects herself is just so relatable and I love it

I'm Italian and I have the same problem sometimes ahah! "Provare"/"To try" is always at the tip of my tongue :)

Supersonics I speak English but am trying to learn Spanish. I would love to be able to comment on Spanish-speaking creators' work IN Spanish, but the thought of getting something wrong does scare me! But learning multiple languages is a challenge so I think slipping up sometimes is okay.

Hello 'paisana'!! LOL XD Yes, I'm also part of that gap who deals with foreign languages casting in a not so pleasant way (as you can see, I still make plenty of mistakes...) But hey! It's better to stay on the try than giving up, don't you think? Nowadays, there's tons of materials around the web which can give you better chances to improve than the old fashion ways (at least that's my opinion). Have an excellent day! :)

I'm French and I live in Australia and I agree so much! :) So many times in the past I've felt like my comments or questions were not valid just because I was ashamed of my accent :/ Seeing people like Fran online proves that there's much more to it than an accent, people follow her because she's talented and tbh who cares about the rest? :)

hahaha thank youuuu! So nice someone notice these kind of things TuT

I really love your shop videos. Like, anything that has to do with it. Be it shop prep, con prep, or just casually talking about an indie artist's merch and showing them to the audience is therapeutic for me for some reason.

I love that view threw the mirror thing u do

oh my, I love your art it’s so cute

Ahhh.. the packaging process part is soooo cool to watch . Love how your lipstick matches your hair color .

Happy to find you! I love your channel. I check daily for new Frannerd postings. I have come to think of Fran and Ed as my friends. What a great time to be alive!

I want to thank you for all of these videos on getting started with illustration and products and online shops and all of that. I appreciate you so much because your struggles and successes make it so much easier for all of us starting out and who are scared out of our minds. For me anyway, you've made me feel more comfortable with eventually coming to failures, but taking those failures or things that don't work and learning from them and continuing to follow my passion and dreams. Thank you so much!!

That's so true. I try to be a frugal person so I wouldn't normally buy a planner that is like $40, but since it was you I was like, "Do it for Fran!!!!" Still loving the planner and its condiment/food people.

Thank the Lord for this video! Yes, Fran, thank you as well. Recently I've been thinking about opening up an online shop and I've slowly been learning about it. So for me this is such a timely video! Love your channel Fran.

I love how real you are Fran! Yo soy mexicana y me encantan tus vídeos! Go Fran

I love your videos Fran just because you are so sweet to talk about this kind of stuff. My BIG dream is to become an etsy seller and animator but this dream is scary when you don't know anything about online sellers/ freelance illustrators world. I own you a BIG thanks for making my dream less scary ^^

she's so real, I love her!

More than 1 year later this video is still pure gold. Thank you, Fran!

I enjoy watching your videos. Every time I get stuck in a bad place I go to your channel. It's so calming to watch and gives me the confidence to move on and continue creating my own art. I hope one day I'll be able to open my own online store soon. Thank you for creating this video 😊

I've being working on an online shop for my family for over a year and it's not up and running because of my many fears, but you help me realize that is more important to start at some point, improve and hope por the best. Thanks Fran :)

Estoy comenzando a lanzarme como ilustradora freelance, y vi todos tus vídeos. Realmente estoy muy agradecida que me hayas ayudado con tus consejos y experiencias, la verdad que respondiste mis dudas y me ayudaste a salir adelante. Soy de Córdoba Argentina. ¡Te mando un abrazo enorme, bendiciones! :)

Thank you Fran for sharing your experience and tips in managing an online shop. I plan to make a new one soon.

Fran, thank you so much for sharing!

Oh, thank you so much, Fran! I needed this video. I've been thinking about open my own online shop for a couple of weeks now. Thanks for sharing your experience! You are a love

I wish there was a video like this when I started my Etsy shop! It’s so funny, I went through the EXACT same envelope evolution for packing orders. And you’re so right…the packing is like 90% of the whole thing! Thank-you for always being so generous with your creative knowledge Fran

hahahaha I love thiisss! This is why I share this stuff because we can save so much time to so many people going through the same process! >:D

I love ordering from your shop, Fran. Everything always arrives in perfect condition. I can't wait for the pins.

Thank you for taking us behind the scenes of your shop Fran, it is so cool to see the system you have in place and also so helpful! Love your videos!

You are lovely, Fran. I was so excited to see a new video up today. Thank you for all that you share with us.

Thank you, so much, for this video! I love to make journals (creating custom pages, binding them, etc.) - and opening an Etsy shop. So - this advice is just right for me!

Thank you for posting this!! I recently started an online shop myself and I have NO IDEA what to do!! But like you said, you learn as you go. You gave a lot of useful information so I thank you!!

You are such an inspiration to me. I appreciate everything you share.

Hi Fran! You are such an inspiration to me. Your videos always fill me with joy and makes my heart warm

Thank you for this video, I have been trying to start my own shop online and I get discouraged sometime. It's nice to hear about people who have made it a success and congratulations.

Omg so many insights on this video! I kept delaying an online shop because of things I can't figure out yet and watching your video felt like a big sister just assured me that it's ok and things will be better but you have to do it still and learn along the way. Thank you so much for being generous with the knowledge, Fran!! Sending lots of virtual hugs and love from the Philippines! 💖

Love how real you keep it! & Lovely advice! ❤️

thank you so much for making videos like this. I feel like I've been struggling with my Etsy Shop lately and you've given me some new ideas on how to approach things. I find these sort of videos not only entertaining, cause you're so cute!, but also super informative.

Congrats Fran, You're killing it!

siiiiiiiiiii queremos ver mas sobre este tema FRAN!!! segunda parte yaaay

I discovered your channel a few days ago and I like it so much! So I am trying to go through all of your videos, especially the ones which cover your shop activity. I found this video very helpful and encouraging. I am just now thinking about opening an etsy shop and your information helps me a lot!

Eres la mejor Fran, gracias por compartir tus experiencias con nosotros y por hacer un poco menos desconocido este mundo del freelance del cual muchos queremos ser parte. Desde que te sigo me has motivado muchísimo, me encanta tu trabajo y espero pronto poder obtener por fin algunos productos y ser parte de la comunidad de tu patreon. De nuevo, muchas gracias Fran ♡

Fran, gracias por hacer estos videos! Hace muuuucho tiempo he pensado en re-abrir mi tienda de Etsy y la realidad es que me he sentido TAN pero TAAAAN abrumada con todo el proceso y como empezar de nuevo. Amo tu arte y amo tu manera de explicar las cosas. Eres la mejor!!

I love your thank you cards! It made unpacking a package of cute stuff extra special 😊

maravilloso, partí el lunes más tranquila, todo es parte del camino, saludos fran!

What a fantastic video! Thanks so much for making it even though you were super tired.

You got it, Fran!

Ay Fran, te sigo desde hace muchos años y me alegra mucho ver todo lo que has progresado! Te lo super mereces, sos una gran artista y como ya he dicho varias veces, sos una gran inspiración. Gracias por compartir tu arte :')

todo es perfecto en este video 🥺❤

Síii, una segunda parte sería genial! Ver todo el tema de los envoltorios de plástico, de donde son, que papel usas, etc. Muchas gracias por el vídeo :)

Muy interesante el vídeo, muchas gracias. ¿Podrías hacer un vídeo sobre la impresión de las ilustraciones? cómo quedan mejor, el papel, dónde imprimir... Y otra cosa, si no es mucho pedir, dónde se puede encargar que te hagan productos como tus pins, pegatinas, tazas... Muchas gracias

Sinceramente no suelo comentar tus videos, pero quería decir que me encanta que compartas los distintos aspectos de lo que es ser ilustrador, creo que ayuda un montonaso para los que lo son o quieren empezar con ésto. Nada, realmente te admiro muchísimo a vos y a tus gatos♡

so helpful! love those plants

I always come back to this video! Thank you Fran

Love your energy! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us and can't wait to see more teaching videos!

You have a lovely human face! I feel so down because I am ill and worried I cannot commit as it seemed so overwhelming! but you've really helped me to learn about how to break it down.

This was super helpful. Just yesterday I was looking web tips on starting on an online shop. Amazing 😊 thank you 🙏

Fran, i love your honesty and you are a true inspiration for me, wannabe illustrator somedaysomehow. thank you for your work!

You are amazing Fran! Thank you for the information. I'm loving the pink hair and the studio space 😊

i love your authentic videos this real life like document/vlogs make my interest of becoming an artist smart!

I’m in the same spot! I’m getting into illustrations and I didn’t know where to start- you really helped me with this video- Thank you lots ❤️❤️❤️

You are a star! Thank you for all the helpful tips!

fran! yes yes yes! I literally aimed to launch a shop this month, but i've had so many questions... and you answered a lot. you're the best. another video would be ~ rad ~

Fran = AWESOME!!

I LOVE you for showing us your office in all it's realness. Thank you. Organised mess over here too... and I have a cat. I have washing. And now I feel better about it all! ;) x

Frannerd thank you so much.

Fran you are wonderful and inspiring, I can't even put to words how much

I love that your office is humble :)

I've heard a tip to use (on the packaging) "careful glass" stickers... even when there is no glass. Thank you so much for the advice

💕 thank you for sharing this 💕😍 I love your Etsy shop! And I love all the goodies I got too! Also love your new pins yay!

This was great! Thank you for the tour. It reminds me I need to cut up some foam core for packaging. Gotta love Cereal, though. She loves her sunbeam!

Fran, I absolutely love your work! I received my order recently and was so impressed with how you packaged it! It arrived safe and sound to the USA. Everything from the thank you card, the do not bend sticker, and address labels added a lovely touch to the overall package. I can tell you put so much dedication and heart into your projects. I'm sad I forgot to order an enamel pin but I'll remember it for my next order :)

i just love ur personality.

Por favor una segunda parte! Amo tus vídeos y este tema en particular es práctico e interesante! muchas gracias por compartirlo :)

Great light in your office.

thanks for share your experience

I know this video is old, but I absolutely love you and your channel and your work! I just discovered you not long ago. This helped me quite a bit, I’m an artist in the U.S. and have been wanting to start my own online shop as well. Very useful tips and your personality is so lovely to watch. ♥️

I love how honest Fran is 😭

Oooooh thank you for this video. This is so nice!

Thank you ♥️

My first comment on your channel - even though I've been watching you for ages: so, this has been SUPER-helpful! Just the thing I need. Thank you! (and thanks for all the other tips on other videos too, I've learned so much from you!)

Oh My God Fran!!! I just started My Pet Portrait business and I was sooooo scared about packing and now you make everything look clear for me! Thankyou do much!!!! I'm brazilian so, kisses and a lot of hugs for you and your kitty girls!!!!

Omg Fran, this is so me right now, starting an online shop is a lot of leg work and fun and trial and error. Glad I'm not the only one 😊 I need that pin in my life! It's so cute!

Fran, your reaction when the cat was laying in sun is me every time I see cute cats 😻☺ your cats are so cute!

fran, this is perfect timing i just released a set of pins and stickers in my shop and this gave me so many ideas for how to expand my shop.

I recently started watching and subscribing to your videos and I love how interesting and informative they are (and I love your art!) ❤️ Looking forward to seeing more :D

OMG! Thank you so much for this!

omg I'm so happy right now you are uploading videos regulary

Love! Your style is so charming love the videos

OH MY GOD!! The way you gushed over your cat when you were showing your workspace was so cute 😂😂💓!!!!! Also, thank you so much for your transparency and helpful advice on starting an online shop. It's something I'm super interested in doing in the future 💖💖

I love this video!! And bet I LOVE YOUR NEW PACKING SPACE SO MUCHHHH ❤️ finally all the space in your giant kitchen is put at good use 💪🏽👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

gracias por este video Fran! lo estaba esperando hace mucho, gracias por compartir tus experiencias con nosotros. feliz de ver la 2da parte :) saludos a celerialita y hamburguesa !

Thanks for sharing your shop shipping space - THAT was cool to see! I just started selling my art, so really awesome to get some tips on how to pack the goods 👌

great video Fran :) I love watching your videos

Thank you

Thank you Fran for this wonderful video. If you feel like doing a part 2, please do. :)

it's so cool that you're making videos like this! they motivate to open a little online shop ^^

This is soooo helpful. I've started and stopped my Etsy shop 3 or 4 times because I was super insecure about most of the stuff you touched on. I'd also search for some advice and get lost in a worm hole of threads on paper, postage and packaging advice. So THANK you for this helpful video...again. :D

I love the video! Would definitely like to see another video about running an online shop
