The interesting thing about pricing is it reflects quality. If you underprice your stuff, people may not expect it to be a quality product. Raising prices a bit can increase sale volume.

yes!! it can seem counterintuitive but i have definitely noticed that people mirror back exactly how much you value your own work 🤍

I was at work when an order came in. My husband text me saying my daughter has helped me packed. I was surprised! But yeah like you said, I learn to let go, let my daughter learn to help me in my small online shop. 😊

You're so sweet, I believe in you! I want to start my online shop but I'm so scared. Social media is my biggest struggle because I'm not super consistent, especially on Instagram. I'm starting with what I have and I'll do what I can. You encourage me with such informative content. Thank you so much ❤

Thank you so much! Not just your valuable video, your energy make me feel more motivated and warmed 🥺, you’re so cuteee!! ✨🌸✨✨

wow thank you so much for sharing the mindset that you have. i just starting out my small business with my friend and havent launch anything since our plan went south and we have to start over. but now i get so many insights from you that makes me think that i can turn this into stories and put it on youtube! thank you so much and wish me luck!!

loved hearing your mindset shifts. everything you've mentioned is so so true! it's funny because this year I finally put IG in the bench and literally wrote on my yearly plans - create/repurpose IG content LAST. thank you for sharing your wise words 🙋🏼‍♀

Wow thank you for this video. I have stepped back from business because it was all too much to balance while homeschooling my two girls. These were all amazing tips. I really got in my own way ❤ I still have the dream lingering and plan to find a way to make it happen even if its slow and steady or takes me a few years ❤❤️ congratulations on your growth 💓

This is literally so informative and motivating for me! I can’t wait to have my own stickershop in the next 12 weeks ‘year’ 😊 thank you for this 💗

I've watched this video three times, so much amazing advice! I've been running a small business for 4 years now and this taught me so much

Chapter 2 was especially helpful because I have never been able to figure out if I should have a social media soley about the business, or soley myself. You helped me realize that a gray area is perfectly acceptable so ty!

been waiting for a new video since your last one, thank you for this 🥰

This is really helpful especially appreciate your take on mindsets ❤

Thank you so much for such great and thoughtful advice! Your stickers are soooo so cute 🐣✨🤍

Thank you for making this video! I stumbled onto this video hoping to make my own design buisness someday! Hopefully soon ;)! You made me more confident and i now realized that i shouldnt compare myself to others and that i shouldnt stop nor limit myself!

Your video's are so helpfull and relaxing to learn about starting a small business. Please upload more video's, i'm currently watching them all :)

Thank you so much for such an insightful video! I love that you mentioned mindset as one of the ways to grow your business!

I just recently found your channel. Thank you so much for going into detail and sharing your personal experiences with your small business. I agree with you about posting on KZread rather than on Instagram. For me personally it was harder to fight the algorithm there. So, this year I’ve chosen to focus my energies into making my KZread channel workout. I don’t get too many views on my website but my small business on a whole is a work in progress. Thank you for the tips. I will try to implement them. Take care!😊

love that this video addresses a spiritual side (limiting beliefs, scarcity mindset etc.) to entrepreneurship - something that isnt talked about enough but is such a huge aspect!! x

This was really encouraging, thank you! I opened an Etsy shop in November and it’s been doing well, but I’m not a big social media poster… KZread is my favorite platform so maybe I should finally take the leap. I get nervous my videos won’t be aesthetic enough tho…

the aesthetic part definitely comes with experimenting and practice ;) i believe in you !!!

Can you show how you made your receipts for your customers? I love it and I want to learn how I can print it that way for every orders as well.

Love this! I kept putting off working on my KZread channel. I really want to jump start this.❤

Thank you for sharing. You have a good outlook.

Great advice, thank you so much x

You're back!

Brilliant, thanks. Would be good if you have a vid on how to prepare your workspace and run your workstation setups. You seem very organized

Me too I wish. Love your art by the way.

thank you so much this video reallly gave me some confindence😁

I'm having to unlearn that my sticker designs should be really detailed.... your stickers are very simple... but so incredibly adorable with their own unique personality, but still really cute and desirable.... so I found myself having to teach myself how to draw more simply.... and I'm learning that i absolutely adore more simple designs.... and it's really fun creating the more minimalistic things, while still trying to keep them looking like what they're supposed to look like.... a good practice activity is one line drawings! .... also thank you SO MUCH for this video... I've been struggling to figure out how to organize my time, but thinking about myself as those three people helps a lot! like... i think now I'll schedule some times just for the technician, and other times for the other roles, that way i'm not struggling to do all roles at the same time!

i have learned so much from you just by this one video. 💘 this is the first video i saw from your channel ! 💗subscribing 💗

loveee this! could you share what you used to make your receipt paper?

Loved this video, thanks for the valuable advice :) I especially love your editing. What mic do you use to record your videos?

Hi can you make a video on how you made your own website shop? Also loving your videos.

I’m starting to get inspired to make a business as well, just with notebooks and digital. Could you also share the alexis course as well pleaaaase

Hi Joanna, I just subscribed because I noticed how much we think alike about business, creativity, and life. I currently have an Etsy shop, but I want to close it, start on Squarespace and KZread. TYSM for being helpful to other artists, entrepreneurs and creators. BTW, do you mind sharing which keychain manufacturer you work with?

Hi! Your videos really inspired me a lot. Can I ask you a few questions? 1. What equipment/supplies did you buy when you started? 2. What platform did you launch your first orders and how to promote?

@johannapark

hi! thank you so much! as for the answers to your questions... (1) i started with my ipad/apple pencil, a printer (which i had at home), a sticker cutter, and sticker paper! i have the current supplies i'm using in my description as well :) (2) i launched my shop using squarespace and had built an audience through instagram when first getting starting!

you are amazing thank you for sharing this video

could you make a video on the 12 weeks goal??

Not sure if anyone has asked already, but what do you use for the formatting of those receipt sheets? I love how clean they look!

Thank you so much lovely 💖 Btw can you share how you track all of your business transactions like using gg spreadsheet or a tracking app? 🌷

It’s so true perfectionism can kills. My product is very fragile so I always hesitate to let my mom package them or cut the care card. But the truth is she pack them pretty well😂😂😂

the model of your shipping slip is magnificent, what is the Shopify application that you are using please

Here I am 4months late but ima use this advice as I want to make a sticker business even though I don’t have the money to make them look as nice as yours glossy , I hope I can still make an effort ❤

This is a great video! Thank you so much! Can you leave the link of the course you took?

蛮有帮助的

heyy i was wondering what microphone you use? the audio is so crisp 🤩

Do you write out recipts and print them? I do want to start doing that but i dont know where to start. Im going to begin sales by the end of the year and i feel like this wou,d be a good addition😊

Where do you get your products manufactured? I’d like to start my own company too 😁

Hi!! Can you share who you use for your shipping? I really want to start a shop but I don’t know where to start with shipping and shipping labels. Also love your tiny receipts! Do you type those out yourself?

I guess If Starbucks customers are willing to pay $7 for a cup of coffee, we should take that for example for anything else 😂🤷‍♀️😅☺️

sooo true 😤😌

How do you make your receipts ? I like the layout

Can you share where you find a factory to print your sticker?

Any advice in controlling the reselling price should I decide to do wholesale? Should I set min reselling price for resellers? The resellers could be reselling at lower price than mine or other resellers which definitely will affect the business.

could you link us to your favorite youtube you mentioned? I believe the name you mentioned was alexis! Thank you ❤

Would it make things easier for you to use a piece of card to divide your stickers into sections? x

im ur biggest fan
