    This video echos the old saying "find something you enjoy doing, and you'll never work a day in your life". I'm glad to hear that your ladies are doing well with their business. On a side note, I didn't hear the helicopter noise over my speakers. I backed up the video, and didn't hear it over my headset. To add an asterisk to that, I do have a fair amount of hearing loss. GREAT VIDEO!!!

    I have so many scraps and I always want to do earrings. But I haven’t yet. I really need to get on the ball with that.
    Great video. I love that she’s went down this rabbit hole. And…. How she’s running it. It’s a business… but it’s more hobby based and it sounds like she’s having fun with it.

    Boxes, satchels, bubblewrap, scrunchie paper, and other forms of packaging are often an after thought for sellers. But a little creativity and branding really increases the appeal of the product.

    Hi, Jay. I've watched you for a while and always enjoy your videos. I went to your wife's site because I kind of liked the font on the Fairlynn acrylic light at 7:48. Unfortunately, the fonts aren't listed. Would you know what it is? Thanks!

    Mate the project you made with the wolf and the deer - you should try to add small LEDs to it... My guess is it would get a ton of attention for being different... Just an idea to think of... Great piece of artwork - love the channel.

    Social media mentioning has done almost nothing for us BUT, I don't have almost 700k subs on my channel so it may just be so small that I don't notice it. Etsy has worked well for us and craft fairs that are marketed well. I'm glad hers is doing so well.

      ​@JayBates I think they mean that if she markets the earrings as ornaments (maybe mini-ornaments, I'd say) and they may sell faster than as earrings.

    What is the device on the back of your hat? I assume it's a remote microphone, but it works really well, if that's what it is.

      @JayBates  Před 7 měsíci +2

      Wireless microphone transceiver. Microphone plugs into it and sends signal to the receiver. I have a wired microphone clipped to the rim of my hat with the wire on top of my head.

    One major asterisk that is actually a big deal is your channel. You already have a following and when you mention it, it makes a bit impact. Not sure what kind of following she has either but just for a Joe blow couple it could be not as realistic to make these numbers.
