    Thank you for sharing this information. You'd be surprised how many people wont share what they know to help someone else. Thanks again. I'm more than likely going to use this for my website. It seems fairly easy

    Thank you soo much, I am learning great things from you. This is has been my dream and I love making things. Really just getting it together and stopping the fear factor that I been having because there are soo many people that are creative. I know it will be a process but with your videos they are helping me along the way. You are an awesome person and thank you for being that person who don't mind sharing their craft and helping others to become business savvy.

      Standley Handcrafted -
      Do you have a video showing soy wax with color dye added, without it ruining the candle? I'm trying to use just the soy wax but need true more bold than pastel colors? Thanks!

    Great video! Very useful info. I subscribed because i would love to see more videos like this. I'm confident that I could build my website now! It actually seems easy! Does this platform offer business reporting like sales, income tax info, sales tax reporting, etc? It's the "business" side that's seems so daunting to me. Thank you.

    • @StandleyHandcrafted
      @StandleyHandcrafted  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Squarespace offers a lot of analytics, Paypal and the other service Stripe will offer all the tax information. It's really nice and simple, especially for beginners.

    I really appreciate your videos; they are so helpful. I am in the process of starting my own website and getting into craft fairs/wholesale this coming year. My last hurdle is insurance. Do you have any advice or insight on picking the right insurance?

    Can you do ounces instead of pounds for the item weight? I am having a huge problem finding a site that allows variations with different weights. Most of my items are under 1 pound. This site looks so much easier to navigate than many out there.

    I already have a Cristian themed shopify store that I'm still setting up. I'm starting with
    t shirts and eventually I want to sell candles and skincare. Can the store's name be different from the name on the candles? I'll just put the name of the website on the labels.

    i have read that candles melt during shipping in hot summer months. do you have this problem?

    • @StandleyHandcrafted
      @StandleyHandcrafted  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      john Camacho Candles definitely require more care during summer months. Some waxes are so much softer, like 4627 comfort blend, and can definitely melt along the way.
      I’ve had one customer mention that a candle melted slightly during July.

    • @johncamacho1781
      @johncamacho1781 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      thanks, what wax you would recommend in summer months?

    • @StandleyHandcrafted
      @StandleyHandcrafted  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Harder paraffins for sure and the parsoy 6006 works really well. But even the 6006 can melt a little during the 100 degree days.

    What is the shipping like on Squarespace?

    • @StandleyHandcrafted
      @StandleyHandcrafted  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I use Paypal for shipping. I don't believe Squarespace has a shipping option. Not that I have seen anyway
