can someone look at my etsy? Just search JewelsbyannieStudio please! i work hard on it C: and i dont get many orders and its mostly under 5$!!!!
I always suppress my secret desire to run a business and your gorgeous video is reigniting it omg TT
U totally should! U only have one life, why not live it to the fullest without any regrets?
snowflake It’s money boo 💰
These things drain a lot of money to begin
T y l e e oh woops sorry my previous reply was for another comment. But yeah of course it costs money but hey, just save up a lot and start a business. You can always go back to another job even if the job isn’t good. At least u knew u followed ur dreams
It doesn't cost as much as you would think you can find this that are cheap and easy to make.
Do it!
Your room is so aesthetically pleasing! I really love the how you decorated the living and work space!
Do you mean aesthetically? Not hating or correcting. I am just wondering if that's what you meant. 🤗
Miss B. I was wondering if that was the right word! Smh you’re a absolutely correct! Thanks!
@@nigeria5332 oh okay. 👍
Trey Stevens that was month ago. She edited it it said something else

It's very inspiring to see how much work you put into your Etsy store! I'm very impressed you're able to keep up with that while finishing school.

@@alexgray3654 okie! im so grateful for my 16 orders. (26 items sold) i normally get 1-2 in a month but this month i got 6
Not sure if someone said so already but you can clean the mats with dish soap and a light cleaning pad... replacing them twice a month is ridiculous! They’re so expensive 😂 I’ve had mine for a year and have cleaned them and it kept them sticky.
Thanks so much for sharing a glimpse into your daily Etsy routine!
Ashley Reaume I use Las Totally Fabolous from dollar tree and an old gift card to lightly scrape off the dust and leftovers after it soaks for about two mins.
Then rinse it under water and dry it off.
I’m going on over a year with the same mats too!
I cringed hearing buying mats twice a month! That’s almost $40 wasted in my world!!! 😂
Yes I do this as well! I usually am able to clean it 3 times before the stickiness is not good anymore. The problem more so usually is that my mats start warping from the amount of stickers I cut each week so I have to unfortunately replace them once per month. 🙁
I guess that’s just good signs of business! ☺️🙃♥️
There is a glue that you can tack things over and over again, basically a repositionable glue, I am wondering if that would work on my old mats, I've been wanting to try that for a while.
I just recently watched a video where Silhouette has the option to load without a mat.
That would save TONS of money!
All I could think about is all the money on ink omggggg
HP has an amazing ink program 300 full color prints for $10 a month and it rolls over. I sell mad stickers on Etsy and the HP ink program is a must.
I go to Costco to buy printer ink. Instead of paying over $30 for new ink, Costco’s photo center restocks my ink cartridge for like $12. It depends on the printer ink you got though since they only have certain kinds of ink refills.

I think Walgreens has a similar service.
All I could think about was “pull your hair up and put on a shirt that fits!!!!!!” Couldn’t watch past two minutes. I know. It’s a me thing. #ocd
HotSauseCandy wow ur telling us all the goods hehehe thanks for sharing :)
You’d save a ton of money buying your supplies wholesale.
online labels is bulk
Yeah I was noticing that too...like michaels is making so much money off of her if she’s going there 2x a week.
rfrprof09 she mentioned goes there 2 times a month for the sticker mats
@@jina6760 she also said the people recognize her dog, because she goes there 2-3 times a week x
Can you elaborate on that?
You can use wax paper sandwich bags instead of plastic bags. They’re actually really cute!
ExtraJexi but the products would get more expensive...the question is if still as many people would buy her product
@@ninal6339 definitely!! I have an Etsy shop and use zero waste packaging, seem to be doing reasonably well for my market despite my slightly higher prices and I feel like it attracts the best kinds of customers too!
Nina L I get a pack of 50 for 3-4 dollars from Target. Let’s say she can fit one order in each bag, that’s 50 orders, but if she needs more than one bag per order, then I see your point.
Dr. Arianna - American Academy of Mind-Body Healing, thank you for sharing as well!!!
Plastic bags can be recycled and wax paper can not.. :(
For packaging for your stickers, you could try glassine bags. It's a type of paper that's translucent but protective and recyclable and would meet a lot of your needs. I came across it because my dad was a stamp collector and it's commonly used for protecting stamps.
Yes, I think Catherine Kay from Katnipp (see CZcams channel, Etsy store, Insta etc from the UK) has started using these also as they are the environmentally responsible option. Not as see through but customers preferred them to plastic. 👌🏼⭐️

Is anyone else extremely jealous of how beautiful her room is? It's literally what I wish my room was like but I can't keep plants alive
Buy fake plants and get you some twinkle lights lol.
I suggest getting low maintenance indoor plants like all variety of snake plants, pothos, cast iron, Chinese evergreen variety, etc. Might be tempting to buy those unique ones, but you’re better off sticking with beginner friendly plants.
pothos are cool. didn’t water mine for a month (oops) came back and found it droopy, but still bright green. watered. was normal again the next day. lucky bamboo are cool too, if you get a decently sized pot/giant mug, fill with little fake pebbles, put in bamboo and fill it with water it’ll be good for like 3 weeks. clean the water though.
Okay I have the opposite problem, I bought a small cactus, and now it’s in my largest pot and has overgrown it😂

I love how you utilise the space you've been given to work with. A lot of people think they can't start business because they don't have huge rooms or money to rent out space but clearly thats not necessary!
I know it’s a bit personal... but I’m curious about the financial side of your Etsy shop. I’d love to see your income and how all of that work and information like that.
That's more than a 'bit personal'. You want an entire breakdown of her finances.
Misty Windmaker I’m kinda wondering the same. I was wondering if she actually makes money off of it. If she enjoys it though I’m sure it’s fine. She seems to enjoy it.
I can give you breakdown for my shop. Jenny and I have approximately the same number of sales, although our product line up and equipment is slightly different.
My specs: I have a professional laser printer, because it's much more economical to purchase toner rather than ink (although she would need an inkjet to print "prints", because an inkjet prints finer detail for art). I run 3 Silhouette machines. Currently, I run 2 Portraits and 1 Cameo. I have a 4th (Cameo) but it's not in the lineup currently. I use Amazon subscriptions to have Mats sent every 2 months, and blades every 3 months. I have a Rollo label printer and buy labels in 500 qty sets (no ink in the Rollo).
Amazon is cheapest for toner (I have an HP...I buy the XL toner cartridges, which have ~2000 pages life (about $100 ea, 4 colors). I need toner 3 times a year. I buy sticker paper from Onlinelabels, usually in qty 1000 sheets ($100 ish). I repurchase every 2 months. I purchase my cellophane envelopes and shipping envelopes (cardboard mailers) from Amazon too--cheapest, even compared to wholesale. I buy in qty 200-500, depending on the time of year (right now we're swamped!)
Cello are about $6 for a pack of 100, mailers are $25-30 for 200. I have some extras I add for "packaging", white paper slip envelopes (like treat sacks, I use these if there are multiple cello envelopes in an order) 200 for $12. I also add one of a few different Thank You labels that I buy in bulk from Amazon (1000 for about $10--cheaper than I can make them!)
Ok so alll of that breaks down to roughly $180 a month in expenses. After Etsy takes their cut, I average a little more than $3000 a month in Etsy payouts. October - February are my busiest months, with May and July-Aug also being good. March-April, June, September are all slow in the sticker biz. You have to adjust, as with any self-employed business owner.
Obviously the math doesn't include my time, which is also valuable. It takes a lot of time to run an Etsy shop! I also have to design and do social media, which is neverending. I kind of suck at the social media. Not enough hours in the day! I preschedule posts with Hootsuite, but I wish I had more time to devote to gaining a following.
Maybe this is all helpful? :D
@@mistywindmaker6547 No problem at all! I know when I was starting out it was hard to find ANY info online. People were wary about sharing their "sources" or even how they packed and shipped/where they sourced those supplies etc. I've been a graphic designer for more than 15 years, and my hourly rate is $50. I use that as a general pricing guide for my "time" when pricing sheets (I use a crafting business calculator Excel sheets I found online. I may have even paid $1 or 2 for it). I found that with my expenses the minimum I can charge per sheet is $3 and still make a decent profit (that's running the 3 machines per hour of course).
I was originally a digital download shop and brought in roughly $50 a week. It was a nice "play money" side gig (I teach graphic design as my day job in a career & tech high school). Passive income is the best! You really need several revenue streams (hopefully at least a couple with passive income) to cover those slow times and make it worthwhile.
@@planfantastic this is such great info! thanks so much for sharing. what kind of printer do you have if you don't mind sharing. I've been looking into the canon pima pro 100 but not sure if it's eco enough for printing stickers.
Ahh, omg, that was my order that you packed at 18:27 - 18:54 😁🤗 tysm♡ I loved the stickers and your artwork!! You're amazing! 💕

@sunnyxskittles Listen, you might have people who don't like what your price has increased but they might not buy from you anyway. Increase your prices cos it'll mean your products reach a new set of customers. People who might appreciate your products
Me: Man... I wish she'd use less plastic
Her 2 seconds later: I want to find an alternative for the plastic bags...
We stan a girl trying to better her production for the enviroment!

Damn, little lady! I am VERY impressed on how much you do! I love that you put personal touches on each and every one of your orders. This was a great insight into your home business. I thinks it’s so wonderful to see it firsthand.
I was having a stressful day and this video was very relaxing to watch! You’re stickers are so beautiful and it’s cool to see all that goes into your Etsy shop! :D
This video is so cool! I loved seeing my order in there, when you were adding gold i was like HEY THATS MINE!! Congrats on graduating!!!

A great alternative to plastic bags would be wrapping the stickers in tissue paper as it’s also very cute or small brown bags
I love how calming your voice and video is ☺️
I just love how productive this is. Love to see more vlogs like this!
I wanna be as busy as her when I put up my Etsy. Such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing this. I loved every bit of it.
Ooh love this video! such a huge fan of your stickers, and it’s so cool to see what all goes into it:)
Girl.. you need to invest in Amazon mats.. they're way cheaper and do the exact same thing.. get the 12x24 mat and you'll get more work done quicker!!
Sparkles1331 I’ve only just got a Cricut machine so have been overdosing on CZcams videos; I didn’t realize you could get generic versions of some of the items; wish I knew that before buying loads of stuff! 🤦🏻♀️
To get my mats sticky again I spray it down with awesome cleaning spray, scrape the gunk off, and then rinse it. Once you let it dry it will be sticky again.
Brandy DuBois is that what the cleaning spay is called? Or what kind do you use?
Princess Corina yes. It’s called LA’s Totally Awesome cleaner.
Brandy DuBois thank you!
Your room decor is goals omg!! Especially at night 😍
Your work ethic is amazing, really inspiring.
have been wanting to start my own jewelry shop on Etsy for a while and this inspired me a LOT!!! Love the video
This is so cool to see! I have a conventional desk job and it's interesting to see what someone who has their own business has to do. I have ordered from you in the past and have your art in my home! You are doing amazing and beautiful things, definitely in awe of you!!!
One of the best ‘day in the life’ shipping vids! Thank you for sharing your process with us.
The hard work that goes into all of this, I respect ppl who have small businesses. I have 2 friends who do this and any chance I get I promote them lol! I’ll def check your Etsy out! 👌🏼
Hard work? She has multiple machines printing AND cutting the stickers. Nothing handmade about it.
DaphneReloaded right, it’s not like she draws the illustrations, sets and lines everything up, packages them and ships them...absolutely nothing handmade...
DaphneReloaded its more efficient this way and she couldn’t possibly cut out this much it would be too much x
DaphneReloaded you need those materials to make stickers either ways it’s her art so it’s handmade
I can’t get over your headboard I need it also this is ALOT of work wow
I LOVE YOUR ROOM! It’s aesthetically pleasing and it’s neat and tidy!
So much dedication to your craft. Amazing!
Hey just some advice speaking from personal experience, I am too self employed and I work very similarly to you, and I got to say, do some back exercises regularly, even if you have no back pain, because it’s really going to eventually strain your lower spine.
Nice! You get to do what you love, with your furry sidekick. What a sweet, well behaved Dog!
Such a great video! You make beautiful stickers, and your packaging is so wonderful! This is why people purchase from Etsy! Those personal touches are exactly what I look for from shops!
Omg! That's a lot of work and you made it look sooo easy. Loving your stickers. ❤❤❤ You do an amazing job.
EcoEnclose has really great options for compostable and biodegradable packaging products! Good luck 💛
+1 I use eco enclose for all of my work! love them
omg the sound of the machines both running @ the same time is like sensory hell
This is so fascinating to me! I love seeing all the work you put into your products. Tbh I was trying to count how many packages you were sending out, seems like business is good! Thanks for sharing!!
Your bedroom/workspace is magical!✨
2:10 wow the lights in the mirror make your picture look very cool
This was really informative. I have been really interested into doing this kind of business but had no idea where to start/ where to look for information.
Samantha Timms I would recommend listening to some podcasts or reading a book such as “be the artist” but the most important thing is just to start!
Your voice is so soothing. So fun to watch you create also!
I’m in love with your office space!!
Okay, I am not a huge dog person but your dog is so adorable!!!!❤️
Can we talk about how cute her work space is
Congrats on graduating! Love watching your videos so much and the vlog style is so cute! Can’t wait to hopefully see more bujo videos in 2020!
I find this so satisfying, I love your style and aesthetic! 🤩
Would you ever do a short tutorial on how to add pages to a bullet journal.
omg i clicked this bc i need to learn how to do an etsy store but i'm staying bc the secret history is my favorite book ever
I love your aesthetic! I'm always watching your videos while working on my orders. Keep up the great work :)
Your studio is lovely. I also love your energy! Thanks for sharing.

Hi! You really inspired me a lot today. I'm just curious how often do you run out of ink with all that printing all day and stuff?
You can try glassine. I use both eco friendly plastic pouches from clearbags and glassine.
This is so interesting to watch! Also love you desk area so much! 😻
I am gushing at my husband about how adorable everything you make is! Poor man, just trying to play his video game and I'm over here making him look at my screen. Great work!!
you should buy your mats on amazon, they're cheaper. They're just not the same brand, but work just as good
What a satisfied video 🥰 could you do it more often 💕✨
I watched this video in the background while I set up my monthly bullet journal spread and it was so relaxing and interesting!! Definitely make more, they are so nice :)

Do you have any tips for starting an Etsy shop? I want to start but it seems super overwhelming
If you haven’t read the “Goldfinch” by the same author, you should give it a try

No, I didn’t see the movie. “The Winter Garden” and the Nightingale” by Kristen Hannah are also excellent books.

I love watching you! I have a VERY small etsy sticker shop and watching you inspires me so much
You have probably answered this 20 times before but I'm brand new here lol
How do you get the cricut to cut all the way through around the sticker card but only kisscut the stickers? Thanks in advance
They make an adhesive spray for the mats to make them sticky again. OMG. Stop throwing away your hard earned cash on new mats!! Eek!!
She mentioned on a higher up response that it's more to do with the mats warping due to the amount of stickers she cuts on them in a month!
Whiskey Black Agreed. It’s so wasteful and a waste of money. Use a scrub sponge, like a dobie to scrub off all the old sticky from the mat (it’s easier than you think and takes just a few minutes - like scrubbing dead skin off), use this (link) and just swipe it across in lines until the whole thing has one even layer, then let it air dry (without clear cover) until the next day. It’s like a brand new mat AND the stick is even better than the original green mat.

@@madnessintomagic That won't help the mat warping unfortunately.
🤷🏼♀️ I’ve used the same mat, re-stickied three times, for over 18 months making hundreds of Leather earrings. I’ve never seen any warping.
aignaciodc she did reply to another comment that she also use the scrub sponge but her main problem is the warping thats why she have to replace it
your room is EVERYTHING
Can I just say.. While watching this, I felt like I was in a trance or something cause I literally almost fell asleep!! It's so soothing
Also, while watching, I saw how much hard work, effort, and time you had to put into your business which is really inspiring and motivating.
I really enjoyed this video and would love if you would take it into consideration to make it a series thank you for the content
I love your voice it relax me I don’t know why before watching the video I was stressed and angry now I’m stressed but not angry
I love seeing you do vlogs like this! Its neat to see artists with shops do these kind of vids. Do you think you could make a video on how you started your etsy shop and some business tips?
The Secret History is one of my favorite novels! Thanks for this video. Very inspirational!
thats always my favorite part to is packaging orders.
I have become a new fan of your channel. I have a design background myself from Art Institute of Houston. My question for ya was in fonts and your iPad Pro. Do you design your own fonts, are you stuck to using what you have on the pad, or do you download any from font sites for use on procreate?
Awesome video!!! Would love to see how you started your Etsy channel, & how you chose which content/products to make + sell💞
I’m in love with all your work and just placed an order (can’t wait to get it) Thanks for great video Jenny 🥰💕😘

Jenny: Sometimes I lock myself away for 2 days on end...
Everyone in 2020: OMG, you only lock yourself away for 2 days!? Lucky! I've been stuck inside for 6 weeks!
try 7 months now
Your work is awesome. Such a challenging work and more over the room with decorative items is amazing..
Omg please do more of these I absolutely loved this video! xx
Cellophane is made from plants instead of oil :) You can use cellophane or glassine bags
