You are amazing! That’s why God has blessed you with a good business because you’re not the type of person that won’t give us tips on what we need to start a business. Trust me when I say that I have asked other people and they don’t answer Or Basically just say straight out look on your own. Thanks again and I got continue to bless your business.

I have an MBA and also have sold online since 2012 - I just wanted to compliment that you are a great resource for many aspects of selling handmade online. Your tips are perfectly on point.

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been wanting to create an Etsy shop for the longest time but didn’t know where start. I recently purchased a sewing machine and it should arrive on Tuesday! I have been doing vinyl shirts for family and I’m ready to start sharing it to the world... lol! You are so articulate and very helpful to your viewers! Thank you again for putting together these videos with your busy schedule!

Luv, luv this video!!! Thanks for sharing all your tips and knowledge of your craft. You are AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!

Thank you for all your videos, and paying it forward.

Don't forget to factor in the expense of your equipment like your embroidery machine and the maintenance, your heat pressscissors, forceps etc. Embroidery machines and repair of such is not cheap.

Oh repairs ! I do mine I took a class when I bought mine and got the book mostly written in Korean. I had a refresher class after 10 years and still the same just newer tips! I like the talk on pricing. Yes whole lot more to add in is machine, electrical storage you have inventory. Lots to go through. God bless you

Thank you so much for this video. You are so on point about pricing and I appreciate your honesty.

Thank you so much for all of the advice and direction you give to us. It is appreciated so so so much!! Like others, I would LOVE to see a video about your machines. What you started with and what you upgraded with, pricing, accessories, etc. Pretty please! :)

Thank you o cent again for your honesty and motivation!

Such a great video!!! Thank you so much for doing it.

Angela thank you so much for this video. It was very informative and helpful.

Love how you broke it down..thanks needed this

Love watching your videos 💕💕

Hi Angela, This particular video is extremely intuitive and an incredibly important one as well, because as you said selling or pricing your product to high you only have very few sales, to low you make no money at all and you would be working for free but also you, are in a minus category because of the materials you had to purchase in the first place to make the said product with and sometimes you might break even, with reference to all materials purchased but your in a minus category again when it comes to your time and labour. So doing your own research is absolutely paramount if you not only want to make money, but critical if you want your business to be able to grow and be profitable for the short term and most importantly for the future, Thank you once again for this truly and incredibly thought provoking video.

Thank you for sharing...loved this💕💨

Thank you for this video, I’m in the beginning stage of starting an Etsy page and this was on thing that made me hesitate to start. I appreciate your advice on all of this

You are very inspiring I learned more from you than the actual cricut sites and other KZread videos.

This video is just what I needed in order to understand pricing items. Thank you for taking the time to film it. I'm new to Machine Embroidery and I'll be making embroidered quilts and other small items and I can wasn't sure how to price things.

Hi Angela, this is very good information, thank you so much!!!

Dear Angela you are amazing. I believe you will achieve greater youtube audience as you are generous in sharing your knowledge.

Amen! I’m just starting and doing a single needle 4x4 embroidery and yes yes yes do I need an upgrade hahaha

Your video about pricing was sooooo helpful. I always thought pricing was hard and intimidating, but the way you described how and where to buy supplies open my eyes up. At least I have an idea about where I should start. Thank you😊

Angela, thanks for the insight and inspiration. I'm just getting back in the "embroidery" field since before the pandemic. I've been watching your videos and got inspired in applique. I 1st puchased a 1-needle and now I puchased a 4-needle. I'm about to open a pop-up shop in a Flea Market. If all goes well, I hope to advance to a larger site. Thanks again for the guidance. Keep doing what you do. God Bless.

You such an amazing person ❤️

Good advice Thank you

Also need to factor in the cost of your machines, tables, storage units, sewing supplies, cost of website, computers for designs, etc.

You didnt even add in the price of the machine, (use, upkeep, initial investment) I think your prices are amazing, and this video was so informative and helpful. thank you!

Hi Angela, thanks for the video. Question, what about taxes?

Thank you!

HI Angela, I just got my cricut and I'm ready! Where should I buy my vinyl from?

Hi there are you trying to tell me that you run $100,000 business all by yourself? Girl you are a superwoman!

Question: do you not use stabilizer? That is an additional expense when embroidering. I was just wondering how much you figure in for that too???

Good information .

Thank you thank you thank you.

Hi Angela, omg you inspired me 2 questions: How did you learn so much on embroidery? Do you need a license to sale online or permits tax id#?

In another video you talked about how you priced your items lower when you first started your business. If you have time and the interest would you make a video about that?

muchas gracias

Love your channel. Do you have a link to your press.

Thanks for this great useful information! What about the cost of your machines? How do you figure in for that?

I haven't seen you do the following, but doesn 't hurt to ask. Would you consider receiving a black/white chiild drawn picture, scan and make a shirt or even a pillow cover embroidered with their drawing on it? great keepsake. just thought about it, becuase it's something I'd want to buy. Also, I did have a jewelry piece done this way. Although it's adorbale and never worn, it's already turn a darkish color :( An accent pillow cover woould be so cool. or even if you do this same thing you're doing but on a pillow cover. My kid would love anything with her name on it hehe

Some of the comments on here , are just stupid and I can feel the Green eyed monster in them. I am Thankful this sweet women is sharing her ideas and Advice .May your success keep you Happy and Healthy for many years x

When you start selling on Etsy do you have to already have a business license? And tax id? Also do you notice that your multi needle machines are stable on the stands or do they shake a lot? ((Can’t wait to get a separate stand for mines and get it off my desk))

I just watched Eve on TheBabysBooty (her YT channel). She is in Charlotte NC. She said that there is a thread factory in Gastonia NC who will be closing at the end of December. They are selling all of their thread at 40% off. Their large spools that are about $7 are now going for about $4 each and she said they have every color you can imagine. The name is Long River Mills.

How do you ship a tutu?

So... I use repurposed fabric for my projects.... like used clothes for fabric.... so it all comes down to my labor.... so how much is my labor worth????

You need to figure out a price to replace/repairs your machine/ machines because eventually you will have too and also electric to run them as well.

This is great but do you usually take an hour to make one shirt? Even on just one single head machine surely you can do more than that in an hour?

@AngelaJasmina

Hi! Almost all applique shirts do take about 45 mins to an hour! They can even take longer! Especially on a single needle machine since you have to change colors!

How about items that require hardware and zippers?

Angela, what about newbie starters with not a lot of customers. Samples on t shirts seems a bit costly if they don’t end up being bought. Should I embroider on them with no name? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Ooh! Thats really cheap! Here in my country its not like that! Wonderful. 😍😍

Your profit fails to take into account the cost of utilities, wear and tear of your equipment, maintenance and repairs, and your processing time for shipping. You also have to add in the cost of taking all those packages to the point of shipment including vehicle fuel, vehicle wear and overall devaluation of your very expensive vehicle. I went through all this with my local SBA when I started a business a long time ago. Your profit margin is a LOT smaller than you think if you examine it the way they teach you to. You have to add in ALL of those little intangibles to get to the correct number.. I was doing photography at a local drag strip, and walked in the house with a bundle of money every week. It amazed me until I sat down with someone from the SBA who opened my eyes. I found that I was undercharging by a LOT. I've also spoken to business people who did construction, plumbing and electrical work professionally. One guy had a plumbing company with over 30 trucks/crews working for him. He was handling huge sums of money year after year, but wasn't getting rich. So he went to a seminar that his wife came across. That is where he did a full evaluation of what he was doing. It turned out that all this hard work was more for the employees than for his own family. He restructured his company using the new business model, and began charging way higher prices for his work. He did get a lot less contracts, but his profit margin compensated for it. He reduced his number of very expensive trucks to 3 (1/10th his previous number), dropped all but the best mechanics he had, saving a hugs amount on insurances and benefits and began making about 40% more overall, while working half as many hours. My point is, go talk to someone at the SBA to develop a professional business model. You'll be glad you did in the end. SBA = Small Business Administration. It costs you nothing, and you get the benefit of business Men/Women who are retired or semi retired. Old People Know Stuff! The lady who helped me was a retired black women who worked for years during the "Jim Crow" years, and had never properly valued her work. When she finally realized what her work was really worth, she became a millionaire and retired. Now she helps young dumb kids like me, if she is still alive. I keep forgetting this was 35 years ago. But the principle remains the same. Old Folks Know Stuff!

My hubby has lost his leg and he is out of work and I have order blanks as much as I could afford and thread and I’m going to order the vinyl and the heat and bond lite ! I am trying to stick to the basics ! Is there any way I could start out smaller on on my ribbon ? Everything else adds up ! We have a flea market by us too so I’m praying I’ll get blessed and be able to sell the tutus and shirts and maybe even make some side items but I grabbed a lot like ten colors of tulle and now I need the ribbon ! I want my what I make to be quality ! And I really wanna buy all the ribbon u have to start but is there a couple colors that would work good at first to get some $ back so I can afford to move up ? I’ve got so many colors and I need this ribbon and I’ve priced and your is very close to the others that is better or not even as good ! But I need to many colors lol by the way ty I am so motivated by you ! And I’ve lost my girl and my mom and now this man stays in the hospital and you motivate me ! I’ve always been a stay at home mom and I really wanna make this work ! Others do !
