If you want to achieve a 6 figure jewellery business, Etsy is not going to help you get there. It's not what it used to be. There are LOADS of key elements required for a smoothly running, sales-generating jewellery biz that are NOT ON ETSY. 💎 Forms to collect emails & build customer relationships 💎 Customizable windows for updates & announcements 💎 Opportunity to send marketing emails 💎 Branding to build a memorable brand And Etsy makes these things either very difficult, or impossible to accomplish. This is amongst many other reasons I do NOT recommend using Etsy to establish your 6 figure jewellery biz foundation. So, how to INSTEAD set up your jewellery business on a foundation DESIGNED for long term success?? I’ll show you how! Take my FREE Jewellery Business Masterclass.✨ Comment the word BRAND to get your spot! 👇

So much fun to watch ❤❤❤ I will check your collection and definitely subscribe ❤

Your USP is what sets you apart and gives you an edge in marketing and sales. It is what YOUR BRAND UNIQUELY sells… a SPECIALIZED flavour that is desirable, and different from other brands. My own jewellery brand for example is all about sustainable Scandinavian minimalism. And I have raving fans that LOVE my aesthetic and style and my brands values. If you struggle to CLEARLY identify a USP that sets your brand apart, you may not be standing out enough from other jewellers to attract loyal fans. Identifying a crystal clear USP is actually something I teach you EXACTLY how to do in my online course, the Consistent Sales Academy. We go over this in Module 4, as well as other in depth modules such as Target Audience, Email Marketing, and so much more.🤩 Comment the word ACADEMY if you’d like to look into joining us! Our next group coaching call with me is June 2nd 😉

Helpful! Yes. The “A” row is probably my weakest areas!

Running a truly successful jewellery business is not always 100% magical & fun. Marketing, finances, our website, and all the other back end stuff can be really boring for us tactile creatives. But without those back end business things in place, we cannot have a full time jewellery business that gives us the financial freedom we’re looking for. Trust me, I KNOW the technology can feel daunting, and the tasks feel boring. But the willingness to LEARN how to do all those things, and do them CORRECTLY, is what will provide you with the time & financial freedom to do the magical stuff… the making, and whatever else is in your heart.✨ And if you’re READY to take on the biz tasks for the sake of the magical returns…💛 Start with my FREE jewellery business masterclass.

I hope you are alright Megan; have not seen you release a video in quite some time now.

This is amazing, thank you!

Oh ok! Good to know! Thank you ❤

Can you tell me where I can find episode 4 please?

I'm still confused about email lists. And you have a website and a socials why do u need an email list. I'm not a blogger and I find it hard to add any kind of caption to posted photos I Don't like to talk about my art and jewelry or what's going on in my life so I'm at a lose for how its helpful. Plus, email is so formal and uncomfortable.

I’ve learnt more from watching CZcams videos and reading books than I did on a 10-week silversmithing course at my local college. There was only one tutor and about 10-12 newbies and 4-6 grad students who came in to use the equipment and consult with the tutor. It was very difficult getting any one-on-one time with her because I’m not good at asserting myself and elbowing my way in and most of the other students and grads were selfish in their approach to hogging her time. If ever I got stuck with soldering or something, I’d ask if she could help me when she was free and she said “yes sure” and then she’d be finishing with one student and about to come with me and another would barge in and grab her attention. I got annoyed that she would never assert herself and say “I’ll be with you in a minute, Alison asked first”. Anyhoo, I lover jewellery making and your videos are a great help, thanks. Perhaps I was just unlucky with the course I chose.

love your videos do you have any tips for gold soldering ? @megan.collins

I've just watched the 3 episodes, they were so interesting and insightful, thank you for sharing your experience and tips!!

First you should learn the spelling of jewelry.

You are great ❤❤❤

Hi everyone, just started out with wax carving and I love it! The only thing is that I love traveling to Asia during the Belgium winters 🥶. I would like to know how I could be in Thailand while focussing on jewellery making. Any experience with this on how to have your basic equipment with you, or rent it somewhere, or courses in Thailand that are recommended.. anything of value would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot ❤

Such a great series! Hope your move went well. Curious how your silver peak necklace is selling?

$20 material cost+$3 shipping+$$ for labour+$$ over head=$75 😊

Business is business always 😊 no friends or family should disrespect their business by abusing their in flow of income.

Hi Megan. I just discovered you! What a pleasure! I have a question about metal hardness. There are so many sold but nobody I have watched speaks of this mystery when approaching making of projects, is there a secret society code that I’m missing?🤣🤣🤣 I’m so glad that your business is becoming successful. I’m a little old to be starting, but honestly, going to school for jewelry making wasn’t my thing and now I can find this wealth of info on YT. Of course I’m not looking to conquer the world but I would like to make some nice things not only for myself, maybe a few others. The only gap is this metal mystery for the hardness. It’s so nice to meet you, this was the first video I saw, random, I know but hey, I’ll be seeing you often. Take care, Claire 💜

Megan the short video is to shortly that we can’t get nothing. I don’t know this is only happening to me. Check it 😊❤out

Thank you so much. I need to watch this video 100 times, I've definitely made 200+ attempts at soldering with bench basics silver solder paste, and have only been successful with 2-3 solders.

You are enviably tidy and organised!

I decided to start making jewellery since I use 70+ year old tractors cars and firearms and often times there are small items I need but can't find or afford. this forced me to just make the missing piece with a mig welder, grinders, torches, files, a drill press and other random tools. Then one day three different people saw items I made to fix the obsolete equipment I use and at different times and places I was told wow thats nice you should be making jewellery. I then downloaded hundreds of hours of third world artisans and a few north american teachers making jewellery from you tube and sorted them into an instructional topicic based hard drive, then I studied thier tools and acquired or made my tool setup from that. I am only working with silver that I melt and form myself no boughton supplies other than the pure silver, petrol, propane, cut stones and raw, borax and pickle itself. I've been alloying it down to .925 by combining it with 90 and 80 percent coin silver as required and making my solder by alloying down .925 silver with .22lr casings in a similar manner to how the Apache Indians used to do it in the frontier days. My flux is borax powdered with a mortal and pestel and combined with isopropyl alcohol. I found an Indian Jem cutter/retailer I like and have acquired many emeralds rubies sapphires and other assorted mostly certified stones in the 6-11c size and have started making my friends and family the jewellery I always liked but could not afford. As I start everything from a molten blob of silver It takes around 3 - 6 hours to make a ring or pendant I am happy with. I'm 42 and have been making things and soldering my whole life but in the last month I have made about a dozen rings and as I get the feel for the tools and the way the metal responds I see a vast improvement in each ring. I would like to turn this into an income stream eventually but as I have 8 children and twin grandchildren on thier way I always work from quality but base materials to keep costs down, If not for online videos many skills I have learned would not have been possible. Thank you for the knowledge you have shared it is appreciated Even if I like different styles the method is treasured.

Useless video thx a lot for wasting 20 sec of my time NICE1 👍

It helped me a lot. Thank you for your efforts.

How to build a website that will become a SALES MACHINE? 💰 1️⃣ Pick a target audience, and make sure your JEWELLERY and your BRANDING appeals to that audience. 2️⃣ Buy a web domain through a service like GoDaddy, Google Domains, or Shopify. (There are TONS of CZcams videos that can walk you through EXACTLY how to do this.) 3️⃣ Choose a website service like Shopify which is paid, or a free one like Wix, BlueHost, or SqaureSpace (and you can always upgrade later) 4️⃣ Connect your domain to your website (again, there are TONS of videos that will walk you through EXACTLY how to do this) 5️⃣ Pick a web design template from your web service that will easily allow shoppers to see what you offer 6️⃣ Fill in your website with your colors, photos, & branding 7️⃣ Sign up for an email hosting service, like Klaviyo 8️⃣ Connect your email hosting service to your website so you can collect email addresses through your website 9️⃣ Use your website to collect email addresses as you go, and BUILD YOUR EMAIL LIST (these will be your loyal fans that LOVE your products and DESIRE your updates… they will likely be the first to buy from you when you release new items) 1️⃣0️⃣ Set up automated flows to connect with your new customers regularly on AUTOPILOT. This will be the customer journey that you set up ONE TIME, but gets repeated again and again for each new customer. If this guide to setting up a website sales machine has been helpful for you, take the next step which is my FREE Foundations Workshop. I will tell you EXACTLY how you can leverage different jewellery business models to make sales, and how I used the different business models to build my multi six figure jewellery brand. I’m spilling a lot in this workshop, so make sure you sign up 😉 Comment the word WORKSHOP below to get your spot. 🔥 #foundations #entrepreneurship #jewellery #jewellers #jewellerybiz #jewellerybusiness #jewellerybrand #jewellerybizcoach #jewellerybizcoach #bizcoach #businesscoach #consistentsales #sellingjewellery

If you've been selling your jewelry to boutiques all across the world while you've been working your 9-5 job, and then moved to Belgium to start a coaching business, is it safe to assume that it alone didn't give you a good enough income on its own to live off of?

This is helpful! You are so sweet and soft spoken. Thanks.
