I needed this. I'm in that place where I don't know what to do with every knowledge that I have acquired. I pray God shows or reveals to me what to do in my current dilemma. Thank you so much.
You got this!! ❤️ You can start by finding a niche/market you want to serve first and think of profitable products you can create that would attract your chosen ideal customers. You can do this!! ❤️💪 If you have any questions, just let me know. 😊
I just started doing a craft fair (at my granddaughter's school), and have incorporated things I love to make - journals, notebooks, etc. I love the sticker idea. I have made small stickers for cards that I like to make, and had not thought of making stickers to sell. But, I really like that idea. Thank you for suggesting that.
Hi! Thank you so much for your comment!! ❤️ The purpose of this video is to give a list of business ideas one can start. It's not really intended to give a thorough explanation of each craft. 😊
Lol! Talking to much on her own channel? Someone couldn’t find anything to complain about so they decided to complain about literally nothing! :) This is a super helpful video! Edited to add: This is the first time I have noticed this channel and I’m subscribing. Great content, easy on the ears (no crazy background music) and in my niche.
I think everyone misunderstood what the op said probably because of the lack of comma in her sentence. I understand what she said after reading it twice.
I make candles as a hobby and would caution people to thoroughly research the legalities of selling candles because of the danger of fire and the liability that puts on YOU as the candle maker...and you MUST have liability insurance to protect your home and other assets if something happens. And please skip the idea of using flammable items like herbs, flowers, fabrics in the candle because not only does that increase the fire hazard, but will negate any liability insurance you get. As an alternative, you can buy small silicone molds in botanical, shell, animal and other fun shapes and use those to make colored wax shapes to add to the candle. And keep in mind that candle making is extremely expensive due to supply issues and other costs....like the months it takes to test each candle wick system (its not as easy as just sticking a wick into wax).
The references to stationary, stickers and enamel pins all brought me back to childhood. Now I'm feeling all warm & fuzzy! This was inspiring. Thank you!
Hi Mei - OK- you already know I'm an art patron-NOT an artist. I would like you ask you ONE more question (promise) : what about sculpture? Where are the sculptors? Honestly buying unique sculpture can be challenging these days; our local galleries are typically jam packed with wall art, jewelry, and pottery. The things I see online are generally sort of "mass produced" looking or are generic subjects , like animals - and I loved your comment about artists possibly feeling their art is "too unique" -- honestly- I'm not criticizing any art genre or form,but, our house has all the wall art, pottery , and trinkets we really want ( for now:) ). Folks like me understand that sculpture can be difficult and relatively expensive to ship; if anyone is an aspiring sculptor- you can take that concern off your list. Anyhow Mei- maybe you have an opinion?
Hi! Sculptures are definitely worth exploring too and have so much potential of being profitable too. Finding a profitable market/niche for an artist's sculpture/art will play a really important role.
I make fidget blankets/quilts for adhd/autistic/Alzheimer’s/dementia sufferers. Most of my sales have gone to the elderly.(mostly from people finding me on my social media pages) I feel there is a demand based on customer feedback, but I don’t know how to market them more. I was thinking of approaching nursing homes(activity coordinators) or connecting with the autistic parents society in my city.
Hi Tracy! Such an amazing product!! ❤️ If you're available, I will be doing a free TH-cam Livestream next week, on January 26 (Thursday) at 3pm PST / 4pm CST / 6pm EST. I will also be covering ways on how you can market/promote your products in the workshop so I really think you'll learn a lot from it. There will be a free gift for all attendees and a chance to score a 1-on-1 private coaching with me too if you stay to the end of the Live. There's Live Q&A and lots of limited-time goodies too. You can register here to join: bit.ly/3QOnwix Hope to see you there! ❤️
You could try therapy offices that specialize in spectrum disorder, adult day care centers, schools( special ed department),churches, research conferences or large events where large groups of Neurodivergent people are in attendance or people are directly discussing accommodations and support services for them. Fantastic idea, by the way!
Okay so as a young teen, i have a lot of curiosity for fun and quirky jobs and stuff, and a small business seems cool(i’ve heard plenty of negatives for small businesses but they look fun and exciting). i have plenty of years left before i would start a serious job but i love having these small business ideas in mind. Thank you so much for posting this!
I'm considering jumping on tufted rug making but I'm new to the marketing side of handmade biz industry. Are tufted rugs the sort of thing likely to become passé in the next two years? I plan to niche down into 1) "fantasy culture" rugs, like rustic medieval styles common in fantasy movies / games etc. 2) Holiday rugs (Halloween Christmas etc), and 3) rugs based on my own fantasy fiction worlds to supplement other products like novels and music albums. Going into to 2025, I assume the novelty of tufted rugs will fade compared their explosive growth 2 years ago, but could you imagine the overall idea of tufted rugs to become tacky / abandoned on the marketing side of things?
Hi Connor! Great question! I suggest conducting a profitability research on your chosen target market first. If you find that tufted rugs are going to be profitable in your chosen niche, I'd say go for it! Your business will naturally evolve over time. Be on top of your ideal customers' likes and dislikes.
I love all your ideas, but funny enough, I was thinking of totes. Folks are moving to canvas bags for shopping, instead of plastic, so I think it could be a lucrative future market for me. Am going to give it a try. Thx.
Yes! Go for it, Pia! ❤️ Start with finding a market/niche to serve first though and tailor/create your products based off what you think would appeal to your ideal customers. Good luck!! You got this!! ❤️
@@CreativeHiveCo thx so much for your well wishes. I'm gonna jump right in and whether I fail or succeed, not going to worry about it, but will keep plugging away. Thx. again. Have a glorious weekend
This was very insightful I wrote down a few things that I want to sell for my small online business. Amigurmi plushies, Stickers and stationery, resin lamps, and printed tote bags this will be my very very first time starting my own online business I always looking for new ideas and this was very helpful I thank you. :) :)
Thanks for the awesome crafting ideas. You definitely have a good business mindset and it's great that you like to help other people out there who are trying to start up a business and or expand one of their own. I'll definitely be checking into the Resin lamps, carpets, totes, and pins. 😎👍
Hii, nice video. I am thinking of making hand painted fridge magnets, coasters n tote bags ahead..but I dnt have any idea how would I sell it with profit. How can i calculate pricing? Havnt done anything like this before. Pls help.
Hi Ketaki! Great product idea! ❤️ Here's my video on pricing your handmade products that can be helpful for you: th-cam.com/video/H3r9M3QhnNQ/w-d-xo.html Feel free to check it out! 😊 Good luck! ❤️
I make all kinds of crochet and other beautiful crafts but can never sell them. 😢 so I make them as gifts and enjoy giving them away however would like to make some money on it. My husband jokes he is bankrupt because of all the money we spend on my crafting supplies. 😅
Hi! Go for it!! Share your beautiful crafts with the world!! You got this!! ❤️ In case you're interested, you can check out my free workshop here: bit.ly/3EGGC47 I really think you're going to learn a lot from it. Good luck!! You can do this!! ❤️
I am a 25 year in florist who is not able to do the heavy work in a flower shop any more at 60 , would love to do something on line , I don’t want to deliver , so is silk or dried a possibility for me ? Is it over flooded ? I also know how to make candles
Hi Dee! Those are great ideas!! I highly suggest you conduct a research first though. Think of a niche/market you want to serve and once you've identified your target audience, conduct a research on what profitable products you can make/sell that would appeal to your ideal customers. Here's a blog of mine that can be helpful for you: www.creativehiveco.com/marketing-your-products-differently-how-to-stand-out/ Good luck!! ❤️
Heyy! Thank you for making this video. I want to ask you something, I'm planning to start a beads jwellery business but I'm afraid if the sizes doesn't fit my customers, what to do about it
Hi! You can go with the standard sizes.

Good luck with your business venture!! ❤️ In case it'll help, you can also check out my blog here: www.creativehiveco.com/how-to-start-a-crochet-product-business/ You got this! 💪
hi Mei, I love you videos ,they are very inspiring . so i watched your video on pricing your handmade products and if i were to use that formula in tufted rugs it would be too expensive because the materials are not so cheap. I tried cutting the cost by buying cheaper raw materials and its not working . so what you recommend i do?
Hi! You can adjust your hourly rate a bit for now but I don't recommend going below the minimum hourly rate in your country/state. If you're still not comfortable with the price, it's okay to start low in the beginning to enter the market and gradually increase your prices until you meet your goals price (which is your computed retail price using the formula).
I’m scared of 2023 actually, with the inflation and everything. I see a lot of popular small business who complain about how 2022 was their worst year ever, selling their product 25% off because they sell less…
Hi Alexandra! I totally understand where you're coming from but YOU GOT THIS!! 2022 may be the worst year for other businesses but that doesn't mean that's what's going to happen to you too. Building/Starting a business involves taking risks. I know you can make 2023 your best year yet!! ❤️ I'd also like to invite you in my free TH-cam Livestream next week on January 26 (Thursday) at 3pm PST / 5pm CST / 6pm EST. I really think you're going to learn a lot from it. You can register here in case you want to join: bit.ly/3CYODS7 Hope to see you there! ❤️
Keep in mind many businesses survived the great depression of the 1930's. Do a search of the top 10 companies that survived during that time. 2 of them are Coke and Proctor and Gamble. They were very small companies in those days. Read what they did to keep going.
Hi! I moved to Canada from Ukraine a couple months ago. At home I sewed a hammocks and pretty minks for tiny pets (like rats, hedgehogs and ferrets). Is it real to continue in Canada and make money on this? Thank you 🙏
Hi Misa! Go for it!! ❤️ Start by finding a niche/market first and create products you think would appeal to your target market/ideal customers. You got this!! ❤️
Hi Misa, welcome to Canada. I hope you’re getting settled in. If you were planning to use real fur, you may want to be aware that you might get push-back from anti-fur activists. One way that you may be able to use fur is using existing fur from thrift stores - upcycling it in effect - maybe labelling your product as such in which case I’d be willing to bet you can even charge extra for the “good for the planet” aspect. Just random suggestion from a random person on the internet. Best of luck..for real. 💕
Hi! It's definitely worth exploring too. I also think my blog here about starting a polymer clay business can be helpful for you: www.creativehiveco.com/how-to-start-a-polymer-clay-business/ Good luck!! ❤️ Let me know if you have any further questions.
Air dry clays are a great and easy to use sculpting material. I am a bit concerned about its durability, considering it will be clinking against metal keys, getting dropped, etc. Perhaps polymer clays might be a more suitable material. Somehow, I think of polymer clays as being more durable.
Hi! Firstly, congrats!! You can check out my blog post here for some of the places where you can sell your products: www.creativehiveco.com/10-places-to-sell-your-handmade-products-online/ And here's another blog of mine that can be helpful for you: www.creativehiveco.com/how-to-start-a-sticker-business/ Good luck with your sticker business!! ❤️❤️
Hi Zen! I highly suggest you conduct a research first on your chosen target market. Then, create your hair accessories based off what your ideal customers will love. A cohesive product line that attracts your ideal customers is really important. Good luck on your business!! ❤️ Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. 😊
I agree with Mei about target market research.. Put together a focus group of age/demographics you have in mind and present your ideas and designs. Their feedback will be invaluable.
Thank you for all the great ideas! I just started thinking recently about starting a small business and this video helped me a lot! I also have a small idea similar to the enamel pins which are basically Clay pins/Clay magnets. Is that idea also possible and profitable for this year? Please feel free to express your opinion🤍 Thank you!💜
Hi! I think that's something worth exploring! I suggest you choose/find a niche/market to focus on first and conduct a research to see if there's demand for that product in your chosen target market. Good luck! ❤️ Let me know if you have any additional questions!
Hi Megha! You can check out my blog here on how to start and grow a polymer clay business: www.creativehiveco.com/how-to-start-a-polymer-clay-business/ If you have any questions, just let me know. 😊
Not only in UK but in EU also! And regulations are everywhere and I can’t even imagine products without some kind of law to produce them!maybe stickers are without any specific regulations! But of course, it’s not bad!
Hi! You can try checking out POD companies that also offer enamel pins and/or stickers. Here are some links that can be helpful for you too: www.shopify.com/ph/blog/how-to-make-enamel-pins www.creativehiveco.com/how-to-start-a-sticker-business/ Good luck!! ❤️
Hi Muminah! You might want to check around other bento cake businesses within the Chicago area to get an idea. My blog here could be helpful for you too: www.creativehiveco.com/how-to-start-a-homemade-food-business-in-2020/ Here are other articles that you can also check out: www.create.net/blog/ella-harveys-10-tips-for-a-successful-cake-business www.cakecraftcompany.com/blog/bento-cake-trend/ Good luck! ❤️
A note about the pins. Puting a rediculous amount of them on your crocs is a really popular thing. I think its ugly but crocs are ugly but obviously they are popular so youd be a fool to not cater to that niche. Croc pins, here i come!!
Dried flowers in candles are flammable and are NOT recommended!!!!!! Please be careful when advising people to do this! I know because I’m a candle maker.
How do you feel about digital products? I started using Canva but I want to make sure I'm not crossing any copyright rules! Any suggestions, advices and ideas are appreciated! Thanks!
Digital products are great too! But, like you mentioned, I would be careful with copyright rules if you're not using your original work/design. What kind of digital products are you looking to sell?
Hi Nadia! There are still lots of other profitable handmade businesses you can explore. Start by finding a niche/market you want to serve first and think of profitable products you can make that appeals to your ideal customers. Demand and competition are usually a good sign that there's a market for that product.
@@CreativeHiveCo hi Mei! Yes indeed I started with the crystal candle business in 2014 and it seems Is not a thing anymore. However plain candles are still hot! Everything is marketing and strategies 💖💖💖
Hi! That's totally okay. You can start with what you love doing and create profitable products that your chosen target market/audience will love. The key is creating a cohesive brand and product line that attracts your ideal customers. Is there any specific craft you're into?
@@CreativeHiveCo I feel like I have a talent for a wide range of craft projects, but lack the confidence to make a business out of it. I’m great with cricut projects. For example I recently created a Disney count down frame, but of course the branding isn’t original. Maybe that’s where I lack :/. Originality.
Hi! You CAN do it! I believe in you! Don't doubt yourself! I know you can create something you'd be proud to call your own. Is there anywhere I can see your work? Feel free to send me photos or link to your work via email if you'd like. It's mei@creativehiveco.com. With regards to famous characters or movies like Disney ones, there are certainly risks dealing with those due to copyright/trademark concerns.

Hi! So glad this video gave you ideas on other products you can offer to your customers. All the best to you and your business!! ❤️
I am Gen X and LOVE stickers !!❤️❤️❤️❤️
She's just briefly explaining the craft for those who don't know about it . Whoever agreed she's talking to much is impatient

Talking too much?????What???? She was quick and to the point. Explaining everything very clearly. I am ecstatic after watching this video 👏👏👏
Lol! Talking to much on her own channel? Someone couldn’t find anything to complain about so they decided to complain about literally nothing! :) This is a super helpful video!

And keep in mind that candle making is extremely expensive due to supply issues and other costs....like the months it takes to test each candle wick system (its not as easy as just sticking a wick into wax).

Hi! I moved to Canada from Ukraine a couple months ago. At home I sewed a hammocks and pretty minks for tiny pets (like rats, hedgehogs and ferrets). Is it real to continue in Canada and make money on this?
Thank you 🙏
Hi Misa! Go for it!! ❤️ Start by finding a niche/market first and create products you think would appeal to your target market/ideal customers. You got this!! ❤️
Hi Misa, welcome to Canada. I hope you’re getting settled in. If you were planning to use real fur, you may want to be aware that you might get push-back from anti-fur activists. One way that you may be able to use fur is using existing fur from thrift stores - upcycling it in effect - maybe labelling your product as such in which case I’d be willing to bet you can even charge extra for the “good for the planet” aspect. Just random suggestion from a random person on the internet. Best of luck..for real. 💕
@@angier2289 oh, no, I was mistaken 😅 I mean “burrow”, not “fur”. It’s because in my language this sounds absolutely same
@@misamisa3640 🤣 translation can result in some fun in our day. Thanks for helping me to understand.
I'm very thankful for the video!!~
Thank you so much!! ❤️

Selling air dry clay,s keychains can be a good business??
Hi! It's definitely worth exploring too. I also think my blog here about starting a polymer clay business can be helpful for you: www.creativehiveco.com/how-to-start-a-polymer-clay-business/ Good luck!! ❤️ Let me know if you have any further questions.
Air dry clays are a great and easy to use sculpting material. I am a bit concerned about its durability, considering it will be clinking against metal keys, getting dropped, etc.
Perhaps polymer clays might be a more suitable material. Somehow, I think of polymer clays as being more durable.

Hi..I am trying to start an online insta shop for floral hair accessories just wondering if people will really buy it..
Btw loved the vid
Hi Zen! I highly suggest you conduct a research first on your chosen target market. Then, create your hair accessories based off what your ideal customers will love. A cohesive product line that attracts your ideal customers is really important. Good luck on your business!! ❤️ Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. 😊
I agree with Mei about target market research.. Put together a focus group of age/demographics you have in mind and present your ideas and designs. Their feedback will be invaluable.
What about crochet graphgans for babies
Hi Debra! Great idea! That's also something worth exploring. ❤️
I want to do stickers but i dont know were to start

Thank you for all the great ideas! I just started thinking recently about starting a small business and this video helped me a lot!
I also have a small idea similar to the enamel pins which are basically Clay pins/Clay magnets.
Is that idea also possible and profitable for this year? Please feel free to express your opinion🤍
Thank you!💜
Hi! I think that's something worth exploring! I suggest you choose/find a niche/market to focus on first and conduct a research to see if there's demand for that product in your chosen target market. Good luck! ❤️ Let me know if you have any additional questions!
@@CreativeHiveCo Thank you so much for your opinion! Will definitely let you know if I need any help! Thank you so much for your time🤍

In uk all toys (plushies) need to be safety tested and certified before you can sell them. It’s an absolute pain!
Great video though. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for sharing that info, Lynden! And I'm happy you like the video!! ❤️
Not only in UK but in EU also! And regulations are everywhere and I can’t even imagine products without some kind of law to produce them!maybe stickers are without any specific regulations! But of course, it’s not bad!
They do in the US as well. US Safety Compliance.
How do you do that?

A note about the pins. Puting a rediculous amount of them on your crocs is a really popular thing. I think its ugly but crocs are ugly but obviously they are popular so youd be a fool to not cater to that niche. Croc pins, here i come!!
Thank you so much for sharing! Go for it!! Good luck!! ❤️❤️
Making Candle at home are considered risky by home owners insurance
Thank you so much for sharing this info!!
I've never had an agent ask me what I did for a living.
I've never heard such a thing. You aren't going to be burning them all. And unless you told your ins. Company, how would they know?

Dried flowers in candles are flammable and are NOT recommended!!!!!! Please be careful when advising people to do this! I know because I’m a candle maker.
Hi Jen! Thank you for pointing this out! I agree that extra precautionary measures should be observed.

How do you feel about digital products? I started using Canva but I want to make sure I'm not crossing any copyright rules! Any suggestions, advices and ideas are appreciated! Thanks!
Digital products are great too! But, like you mentioned, I would be careful with copyright rules if you're not using your original work/design. What kind of digital products are you looking to sell?

How about 2024 ?
Hi! Watch out for that next year. ❤️
possible to become millionaire by selling crystals. It’s the most profitable business now
Thank you so much for sharing this!! ❤️
none for me
Hi Nadia! There are still lots of other profitable handmade businesses you can explore. Start by finding a niche/market you want to serve first and think of profitable products you can make that appeals to your ideal customers. Demand and competition are usually a good sign that there's a market for that product.
What have you got for 2024?
Crystal candle business is decreasing… is not profitable anymore
Hi Desirula! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! ❤️ Finding a niche/market for a candle business is very important.
@@CreativeHiveCo hi Mei! Yes indeed I started with the crystal candle business in 2014 and it seems Is not a thing anymore. However plain candles are still hot! Everything is marketing and strategies 💖💖💖
Carpet.
u are so cute
Aww. Thank you so much! ❤️
Not talented in any of these sectors. What else?
Hi! That's totally okay. You can start with what you love doing and create profitable products that your chosen target market/audience will love. The key is creating a cohesive brand and product line that attracts your ideal customers. Is there any specific craft you're into?
@@CreativeHiveCo I feel like I have a talent for a wide range of craft projects, but lack the confidence to make a business out of it. I’m great with cricut projects. For example I recently created a Disney count down frame, but of course the branding isn’t original. Maybe that’s where I lack :/. Originality.
Hi! You CAN do it! I believe in you! Don't doubt yourself! I know you can create something you'd be proud to call your own. Is there anywhere I can see your work? Feel free to send me photos or link to your work via email if you'd like. It's mei@creativehiveco.com.
With regards to famous characters or movies like Disney ones, there are certainly risks dealing with those due to copyright/trademark concerns.
Too much talking in between.
Thank you for letting me know!! I really appreciate your comment. 😊
It’s literally a 10 minute video, the info In between is useful. And anyone can always double tap to go to the next… Thanks for the ideas!!
How rude.
Your awesome thank you for your time.😊😊😊❤❤😂
Thank you so much for watching!! You're amazing!! ❤️
