It’s really nice to see a crochet seller be transparent about earnings. Selling on Etsy is time consuming I’m sure and it helps to know the possible returns for that time and work. So thank you!
I'm disabled and it's affected my education system, jobs and lots of future opportunities. I love crocheting and I want to create my own Etsy business to give me a bit of backup. This is so helpful and amazing, thank you.
miss gurl you are amazing. I tried crochet around december last year and miserable failed (but i used a 7mm hook with like 4 ply yarn sooooo) and started around start of feb again. Now i love it and its gotten much easier and really want to sell but i dont think i would get much sales even if i made tik otk because im a slow crocheter and i only can make beanie, cat beanies, beanies for cats, coasters, book covers, and theres some other stuff i havent tried but know i can do it. You are so inspiring and im thinking of starting but obviously its gonna be hard and wool is epensive where i live lol. anyways i love ur channel your crochet is AMAZINGGGG
I noticed its hard for creatives to price themselves because we tend to undervalue our work. I dont sell any creations yet but my relatives and friends told me that I dont realize that I am doing something not a lot people can do. For me, crochet is a passion and I dont feel like I am working hard while doing it so I feel like what I am doing isnt valuable (society taught us only hard work is valuable, you have to feel tired after a day of working etc ...). So pricing is difficult. Fortunately my brother is an accountant, if I start a crochet business, I will leave it to him to fix the pricing.
Hello, I have also wondered about the income for handmade crochet items! This has been on my mind as well as the items that sell excessively😊 as I was considering selling some handmade items myself. I have to refresh myself on crocheting so I am a beginner again (I just came from your 50 crochet projects video😃) Thank you for this video, I admire your transparency🧶🙌
I just found your channel ...🤯🤯 The freaking honesty should win you an award 👏 🙌 ✨️ I personally don't understand why gatekeeping is so bad and secrets within this community..realistically it's greed pure greed and it's disgusting. I get money needs to be made but you can still make it and not be a slime about it. I needed this video so bad so truly thank you. Most of all congratulations on your hard work! Get it!!!
I've had an etsy for a bit, but never have sold anything. Down side to that, I started making presson nails, but got side tracked making my friends and myself some custom ones...then I started cash stuffing, made my own envelopes, have a TON of pretty card stock paper, no cricket to cut words for the envelopes, so that didn't work...lol...I love crocheting and just started listing some of my things on etsy...we shall see. I've sold just at 300 in crocheted items to people on my Facebook though, so that's nice. 😅 this is since starting in Nov. 2022. I've never crocheted before that though. I love watching your videos. You have great ideas and cute products! 💜💜
Thank you! I really love watching people on TH-cam. I can't wait to start my channel back up. It was cash stuffing. And we were ahead...but no extra funds. Husband and I had a big decision to make and moved for the 1st time in my life and idk how many moves for him..but it was for a better job. We've been paying double on everything for almost 6 months now trying to sell our old house and having a new one in the new town we moved to. 🙃
OMG!!! Paige, it was such a blessing for me to watch this video. Thank you so very much for being so transparent about the whole business. You have answered all of my questions. I am a “crafter”. I do several things I.e., resin jewelry and accessories, crocheting and canvas art work. I need a partner for the business side because all I want to do is design and create. I would love to talk with you and get your feedback on how to launch my business.
Thanks for breaking it down for folks who may be thinking about selling items on Etsy. Do you have any resources or suggestions on how to make crochet patterns?
Question … I’ve been considering starting an Etsy but I’ve been worried about not being able to handle everything and make everything by myself , buying yarns , spending hours on each project , I just feel like it might get overwhelming , and tips or did you experience that ? Thanks for this video !!!
Haha I've been discouraged too because the market is saturated 😅 Buuut, crocheting takes a lot of time and effort. It takes a special person to maintain a business
With tik tok when you first had that big break and got lots of orders flooding in, was it hard to keep up with it? that's my fear with starting a tik tok to promote😅😅
no products have been officially launched cause im still wokring on photos (but hopefully it will be by the end of feb or early march) but im working on launching a crochet and sticker/charm based store called ArtBySamshine!! (hopefully gonna have a shopify down the line where i can sell my fandom and fanart stuff cause im so scared to sell that kinda thing on etsy ^^")
Thank you for being so transparent and making this video! I had a question regarding making crochet items based on characters like your anime hats. Can you get in trouble for making things inspired by tv/movies? I heard both ways so I’m confused. Again thank you love your channel ❤
hi paige i love your videos !!! i started crocheing in november last year and i got hooked litterally !! i LOVE makineg plushies my shop has had about 13 sales so far and thats ismply becaue im underselling to get my shop to take off .... fingers crossed anyways heres a link to my shop i would love to know what people think

Thanks for this video !!!
Omg same but can’t u sell patterns?
Hey, have you discovered no sew/low sew patterns? I despise all the sewing, too. I was thrilled when I found they exist.
Haha I've been discouraged too because the market is saturated 😅 Buuut, crocheting takes a lot of time and effort. It takes a special person to maintain a business
I agree then you become a production worker with tired wrists 😢
ur the best
I have found this too! I am not sure where to start with TikTok. Do you have any hints / tips for vids?
pay attention to trending audios! and make sure your background changes within the first 3-4 seconds of your video to catch the viewers attention !
New subscriber....Thanks so much for the breakdown ❤❤😊
With tik tok when you first had that big break and got lots of orders flooding in, was it hard to keep up with it? that's my fear with starting a tik tok to promote😅😅
my hands were killing me and i was transparent about shipping time so ! no issues !
You can pause the shop I've heard from others

Did you have the video of how you make the product and deliver it step by step , did you sell it as digital product
Will you release a pattern for your frogs 🐸?
the pattern i use is on etsy!
Thank you because pricing information is way too hard to find!
hi paige i love your videos !!! i started crocheing in november last year and i got hooked litterally !! i LOVE makineg plushies my shop has had about 13 sales so far and thats ismply becaue im underselling to get my shop to take off .... fingers crossed anyways heres a link to my shop i would love to know what people think
My grandma said that you find how much yarn you use, find the cost, and multiply it by 3-5 times for the total cost
That probably applied in the past .I think now they just follow the prices and making as much as they think by not following this
Where are the items you are selling where can I find it ? Great video
I thought tik tok was getting shut down or did i misunderstand whats happening to it
how do you decide on a name??
So I know this is old but I noticed on your Etsy you sell old patterns, how does that work?
I really love your work !! Do you have problems with copyright laws when selling your anime inspired hats ?
I heard it can happen and get shut down..I wonder 🤔
Did you buy a business address?
what are patterms?
Hi! I really want to buy some of your clothes, may I know your business name?
does instagram work the same as tiktok or insted of it
i just recently started my etsy shop! it’s MelenCrochetCorner !! 🤍
