    I love this. I suppose my biggest question is, what did you spend during your start up? From websites to inventory? Would you recommend having a certain amount set aside to start such a business?

    This video has given me a lot of courage to just start. Just do it. I can start small, but if I never go for it it'll never get done. Thank you for showing me I can do it

    This was sooo cool to watch! I loved to hear all of this background information about owning a bookstore, because I feel like the general idea sounds super romantic and fun, but obviously there's a business and looots of technical stuff behind it, so thanks for this insight!

    Social media can be fun , but it can also become scripted and overwhelming. Not like in a bookstore, talking and reviewing with coworkers and friends. To have an unpredictable day .😊

    about the thrift store bit: not many people know this, but goodwill has ecommerce! anything that is deemed "too nice" to sell in store gets sent off to ecom

    Second hand librarian, why did you make a video about starting your own bookstore when you're not even explaining to everyone how to start your own bookstore? All you talking about is you love books and that's it. I am writing a book and planning on becoming a traditional publish author then maybe start my own publishing company later on in my 50's but for now while I am 37 years old I want be be an author working with a traditional book publishing company and start my own bookstore. I clicked on your video to see if you was giving advice on how to start your own book store but instead you're talking nonsense, but anyway congratulations. You was no help.

    You're not bright. She's just answering questions that were asked. And she literally said how and why she started her company.
