Future video request: a silent video showing you work/draw... just you working basically . It’s really nice to see people when they are “in the zone” and working hard, it really motivates me :) Hope you have an awesome week Fran! Always look forward to your videos :)

if i would have that envelope or parcel, I DONT CARE, I WILL FREAKING STORE IT ON MY OWN ROOM AND MAYBE FRAME IT BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU DO FRAN, IS ART!

You’re so kind for sharing and helping. I think a lot of artists keep things to themselves like its treasure or a competition. The world is a better place when we all grow and support each other. ❤️

Making friends with your mailman is always a good idea! I leave gifts for my mail man/woman. In the US you dont have to fill out any forms like that as long as your packages are pre-paid you can just drop them off. Depending on where you live you can also have your outgoing mail picked up from your apartment/house for free! (Which is why is a good idea to make friends with your mailman)

Your face at the end is MY FACE when I see a spider ha ha. Thanks for all the tips!

Fran, yo tengo la dirección que tú misma escribiste a mano recortada y guardada en mi caja de recuerdos porque me parecía muy feo tirarla cuando te habías esforzando tanto.

Why if i follow this channel for a long time ago.. i didn't watched this video.. i have an online store.. yep im a amateur is this, but your recommends help me to make these things and troubles more easy to handle and save more time to be more productive.. thanks fran, you are the best :3

Yes! Share where you get all your things made as you mentioned :)) stickers, post cards, packaging :D... More etsy shop advice videos! You're the best!!

I'm going to have a long walk with my dog, then make myself a whole pot of tea and make some avocado on toast and then really sit down to enjoy this video. I never started making art to make money in the first place but realising I actually do wanna make a living out of it I need to get a whoooole lot better in the whole business part as I barely sell anything on my Etsy, maybe four times a year or something (oops, haha). But video's like this always help me so much and I learned so many things already from you and the other fellow artists/illustrators here on KZread! Oh how I love this community and thank you a lot for actually wanting other illustrators to get succes as well. Lots of love 💖 (And I really need to walk the doggo first, as at this right moment he is destroying my lovely carpet..... )

I love you Fran, honestly. The honesty and generosity you have in sharing these things are so valuable, I am so thankful someone like you exists in this world and on this platform. Thank you, Fran!

Igual cuando me llego tú planner, guardé para siempre TODO (la cajita, el envoltorio, los stickers), porque se nota el cariño que le pones a todos los detalles, eres seca Fran, admiro mucho tu trabajo, saludos desde Antofagasta 💖

Thank you for all the wonderful advice and sharing your knowledge! It is all super helpful and it's a gift to learn from your experience 😄💖

Thanks for sharing all of your processes fran, you're super professional it's amazing! :)

Thank you so much for all of the useful info Fran!! Opening a shop is a long time dream of mine but also so hard to plan and scary! Now your advice is a great starting point

Your videos are ALWAYS inspiring! You always make me feel encouraged to continue my journey as an illustrator... Thank you for that! Cheers from Brazil xx

Hi Fran! Thank you so much for another great video! I just ordered the book yesterday and noticed that you already shipped it!!! I'm so excited for the book and I was very surprise how fast you processed the order! Have a great weekend and keep inspiring!

thank you for this video! your tips are so good! My webshop is still small and slowly it will grow :) i'm just happy to watch inspiring people like you!

Thanks for the useful tips, Fran! 🙌

Ah! Ha, your video is making me so excited to receive my order!! Love you muchos Fran!!

Thank you for your video I love watching! You always bring smile to my face and my daughter love you too!

I really enjoy your videos every week and look forward to them. Definitely inspires me to get off my a$$ and try to put my art to use. I love all the behind scenes stuff. You are so freaking cute!!!!

I think you are doing good by printing the labels but, in my case, I save every special envelope that is sent by artists/other (I still have yours!). Regarding the signature, I feel like your illustrations are your signature, I just look at them and I see Fran all over the place :3 Thank you for sharing and keep the good work and the lovely videos

Gracias por todos los consejos!! Esperando el próximo video con muchas ansias, como cada semana jaja ❤

I was wondering about how you send all of your orders and the wonders are answered in this video. Thanks for those tips Fran. Happy Weekend ❤

Thank you Fran, you magical gem! I literally didn't know anything about all the royal mail stuff you mentioned, that is so so helpful to know! I want to open up a shop but I only have my hour lunch break to go to the post office, and I was so stressed about how it was going to work with the queues, but you have swooped down and blessed me with this AMAZING KNOWLEDGE, thank you!

Hi Fran. Your videos inspire me so much with everything right now. I've been in a deep depression state for the past weeks and you reminds me what are my plans for my career in the future. Keep it up!

Hi Fran, thank you so so much for this video!! It is packed with a lot of great and very useful info. I'd love, one day, to open an Esty shop. I'm still working on it and your videos are awesome and helpful. Thanks to all the advice you give us, they are very much appreciated :)

This is literally what I’m going through right now! Was doing small doodles for the card that I add in for my orders as extra padding and it is just too time consuming now but still want to add my personal touch so I really like that idea of adding a postcard. Soon I’ll be able to buy some! Thank you for the tips they have been so helpful! 💖

Waking up to one of your videos is amazing 💓💓💓💓

I deeply appreciate the energy and the love you put into your work. Maybe you can't imagine how inspiring are your posts. Thank you so much! I'm happy for your future and I hope you will keep doing this. Have a great day, M.

My absolute favourite type of video!!!! More! More! More! :D xx

Such a good video! I have the envelope (and postcard) from last year, because I love it and appreciate the effort that you make it so lovely, although it's just an envelope.

i dont have an online shop but wowww! you have helped me a lot with all this information! idk how but you did GIRL

thank you sooo much for sharing!

Great advice! Instead of the stickers for the return address I use a stamp that I made years ago. It's also very quick!

This is the best channel. Seriously.

Nos inspiras, Fran, muchísimas gracias por tus vídeos, tu esfuerzo y ser tú misma. Nos animas a trabajar duro simplemente mostrando tu día a día y contándonos tus historias. Sigue así!!!

You are an angel

Es que simplemente me inspiras Fran, gracias por ser tan tu! Nunca cambies te adoro! Y es total admiración mexicana yucateca jijiji😘😍

Love your work

Thank you! This video helped me a lot. That tip about a return adress was so helpeful! I only wish that in Brazil mail service was that easy. :**

Friday mornings are now officially my "put all work aside, sip tea, draw for fun and watch Fran" mornings. I never thought etsy could work for illustration because I saw it as more of a crafty thing, but now I'm starting up my own shop this summer because of you! I loved your character design video from a while ago of the three weirdos in a coffee shop. I'd love to see more videos of sketching people from life, especially as a step in the character design process. Thanks for sharing such adorable and real content ❤️

Thanks for sharing your processes! Always so nice to watch. Love from Berlin!

Thank you so much for sharing these great tips, Fran!

Loved this! I just opened my Etsy shop a few weeks ago and these tips will be very helpful in the future! I think you’re going to love shipping from the US, we even have mail carriers who come to your place to pick up your packages so you don’t even have to leave home! 😁 On another note, can I make a request for the video where you go to the museum and recreate a painting in your style? I really love those ones ☺️

Frannerd i really love your illustrations and your style ..and the colors that you are using...can you please video and talk to us more about colors and how we can choose them ..much love for youuuu

Ay Fran eres toda una inspiración! muchas gracias por compartir tanto con nosotros, este verano planteo realizar mis primeros stickers y pins para tener mi propia mini tienda e ir a algunos eventos a vender 💛

Hola Fran! Nunca te he escrito, pero sigo tu canal y tu carrera hace años y me encanta, me inspira mucho la forma que tienes para afrontar tu vida, de manera tan auténtica, a pesar de los miedos e inseguridades que surgen en el camino y te agradezco por eso 💕 Ahora que vuelven a hacer un gran cambio en sus vidas con Ed yéndose a NY, me encantaría saber si podrías hacer un video con tips o reflexiones acerca de cambiarse de país/ciudad.. desde cosas tan prácticas como qué cosas llevarse y qué dejar atrás, a cosas más trascendentales como qué cosas tener en cuenta al elegir un nuevo lugar para vivir, cómo crear comunidad en una ciudad nueva, etc. Yo, siendo ilustradora, me iré a estudiar y trabajar a España por mínimo 2 años (vivo actualmente en Chile) y creo que tu experiencia puede ser demasiado valiosa para quienes estamos viviendo cambios así de grandes! Sé que en tus moving vlogs has hablado un poco de eso (vlogs que de este nuevo viaje espero con ansias), pero sería bacán si pudieras hacer uno más profundo al respecto; si tiene que ser enfocado al quehacer artístico, bacán también! Te deseo mucho éxito en todo lo que se viene, en tu día a día y gracias de nuevo por hacer lo que haces y compartirlo con el mundo, un abrazo! ❤️

I know this video isn't new, but thank you SO very much. I'm hopefully launching my handmade ceramics shop in the next two days, so this was a boost of confidence that everything will... *stops to breathe into paper bag*... be okay :P Your tips and tricks are super helpful, and knowing that it's okay to not know everything on day one is too. Lots of love from Cambridge

I love you and your style

Yo no soy ilustradora ni nada pero me encanta tu canal y tú contenido, eres la onda Fran

Im loving the music!!

What about work space tour? Or studio tour. It's so nice to see how much love you put in orders

Thanks for the useful advice! :)

I envy so much foreign post office services! I live in Brasil and everyone in the whole world knows how ours sucks, cause every time I'm gonna buy something from other countries they always have a special recommendation regarding shipping time and tracking number for Brazilian costumers. 😓

Hello Fran! This was super helpful!! I dont have a lot going on in my shop but I want to make it a priority. I love the postcard idea because I write thank you notes for each and every purchase I make. As I get busier, its harder to manage that so I love the idea of making a postcard for customers! And the social media sticker is genious

Loved this video, as usual. Even though I don't run a shop I still appreciate your tips and effort you put into sharing so with us! btw, is that carrandache pencil erasable? Really loved the colour x
