You will get there! Small businesses take time to grow. I would seriously consider doing vendor tables or artist alley tables at conventions. The foot traffic is good for bringing in customers. Make business cards and a QR code sign for your socials and online store, I think this is the single best way for any small business to grow naturally besides KZread. Oh, and you will probably make $1,500 just vending over a weekend if you can keep up with the demand ;) Good luck!

I already printed new business cards that look much better than the ones in this video so I’ll be handing out quite a few during Brickworld!

Thank you for sharing your ups and downs! Like many have stated that's very brave to do. I wish you all the best! That aside, if I may offer some tips....diversify your offerings. Star Wars alone will not get you there. Fallout is popular, custom marvel mutants, etc. And...decal customs are a VERY low sell. I'd suggest an inexpensive pad printer, or UV printer. Or even try the laser printer transfer method. Also consider a resin SLA printer, like a Saturn 2. They print in 8k, the results are amazing, and a refurbished one costs under $300. You can use them for custom weapons, armor and the like. Again, good luck!

@micahnike18

Ай бұрын

Thank you! I appreciate the tips! I might try venturing outside of Star Wars eventually but that would depend on where my KZread channel goes since this is where I do most of my marketing. Buying a pad printer or UV printer is out of my price range but maybe I’ll try looking at some of the other methods you listed! I’ll try reselling some pad printed customs when I acquire the funds to place some reseller orders but the minimum reseller order is usually around $2000 for most sellers so I’ve got to sell a few more products till then lol

I think a big contributing factor to why it didn't work out is that you decided to focus on a very specific niche. Like, not only are focusing on LEGO on a small website that mostly only adults would know about, but you are also focusing only on minifigures and on Star Wars and on the Clone Wars/Bad Batch.

@micahnike18

Ай бұрын

My sales have increased exponentially after making this video so I think my business has a chance now! I gave my self way too little time in this video since most businesses take years to take off but I only gave myself 30 days. The broader the market, the more competition there will be so it’s usually best to start in a smaller niche from what I learned from others. I found potential in the small community of decals and tried attaching it to larger niches here on KZread and it successfully captured the attention of over 5 million people now! Now I need to follow through and give these people an opportunity to buy these products. I think based on what I’ve tested here on KZread, attaching this small niche of decals to larger niches like Star Wars is actually increasing my target market!

Puttins stickers and drilling and else modyfing lego parts to make them "custom" or using 3D printed parts - thats not an orignal lego piece anymore. Btw making a succesful business take more than 30 days. It takes time and adds and bunch of promoting to get people even to come to your website. And when you have like six clone troopers to sells... well its not really a great selection is it? Make your stock bigger, wider selection, make adds and promote your web and them maybe after few months you will se steady stream of orders... but dont expect it after a month when you made like one or two tries to promote it.
