    As an artist Facebook just didn’t work for me since most had a flea market mentality of wanting the cheapest price possible. Everyone wanted to haggle and didn’t give a flip the cost of materials let alone how many hours it took to create

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo  4 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Facebook can definitely be tricky. Marketplace is definitely like a flea market/tag sale feature and you are just going to get hagglers. Facebook business pages can at least focus fans on you and your work. But I still give your own site on Shopify the biggest thumbs up!

      I sold a lot of Scrapbook pages and albums on Ebay many years ago. Although I did not have a 'brand name' buyers really appreciated my work and I got a lot of repeat customers as well as some who wanted me to custom make things for them which I did not expect. :)

    Great advice. I have my own website to sell my handmade products. I started it before Shopify was a thing and now I wish I could switch to Shopify but the cost and time to transition has prevented me from doing so.
    I also sell my products on Etsy and Amazon Handmade as additional ways to promote my product and get more sales. I agree with all your recommendations.
    I would also like to share a few more benefits of why I prefer Amazon Handmade when selling on the Amazon marketplace.
    1. I don’t have to pay the $40 monthly seller fee with Amazon Handmade.
    2. Amazon Handmade listings don’t require a UPC code to create them.
    3. Amazon Handmade also prevents others sellers from listing your exact same ASIN (which they can do on standard amazon listings forcing you to compete for buy box).
    4. Amazon Handmade also allows sellers to create an artist profile similar to Etsy which is a nice feature to personalize your store.
    5. I prefer seller fulfilled shipping on Amazon Handmade. I may not get the Prime label but i still list my products with free shipping since customers on Amazon expect that. The main benefit for seller fulfilled listings is I can control my branding on the packaging and presentation of my product so it doesn’t arrive in a generic amazon box. I also can include my business cards, brochures, coupons to refer customers to my own website on a future purchase. I also do this with my Etsy sales too.
    6. I have less competition from copycat sellers on Amazon Handmade than I do on Etsy.
    7. Buyers have better trust in the Amazon marketplace.
    8. Amazon Sponsored Ads are very affordable and work better than Etsy ads since i can bid on keywords which gives me more control.
    The biggest downside of selling on Amazon is the 2-3 weeks I must wait to get my money after the sale and the higher fees. This is why I think it’s important not to rely on Amazon marketplace as your only source for sales.

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo  4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Thank you SO much for sharing your Amazon experience! I too, was on a different platform for my own website before moving to Shopify. I only moved over a few years ago and while it took some time and money, I'm SO happy I did it! My only regret is not doing it sooner. What do you use for your website now?

    • @MarkoPola
      @MarkoPola 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Creative Hive I am currently using a shopping cart called Nexternal by Truecommerce. It’s not as well known and is packed with features but a bit expensive at $250 a month (+ 3% of all sales over $10k each month). They are good for larger businesses. I don’t use all their features. I’ve tested Shopify and used it many times buying products from other companies and I love how easy it is for customers. It is a move I’m seriously considering and just have to free up time to make the commitment to get it all set up. I think I could do it in stages and work on it over a few months before I turn it on an transfer my domain names to it. Paying a small month fee during the transition wouldn’t kill me financially.

I didn't know about the Instagram or Facebook feature for links directly to the Shopify store and am excited about trying this. I also want to include all my products on one site. I had to take my Antler jewelry off my Wix site and sell on my Etsy page as Wix canceled my credit card processor when they found out I sell Antler jewelry. It's double work for me and after 6 months on Wix, I've had enough. Had I been more thorough in researching marketplace platforms 6/8 months ago, I would have never signed up with Wix.

I'ts been a long road, being a person that has always worked one job maybe three at a time, it is hard not to have anything to do but to lay and watch TV I have always wanted to craft but raising two children as a single mom, I, never had time. So now I craft sitting in a chair I find a way to do it to try to help my fingers from nerve damage and arthritis along with multiple other issues. Crafting has kept me sane. Now I need to try to help myself financially and I want to find a way to maybe sell some of my crafts I looked at so many different places and I didn't even know where to start it was so overwhelming thank you for bringing those choices to light I'm glad you mentioned shopified I didn't even think of that. Etsy and Amazon sounds like all winners to me as you said a back up. I'll be subscribing to your channel sending love and light.

      I'm so sorry you're feeling like giving up, Linda. We've all been there, myself included, many many times. Starting and running a business is one of the hardest things anyone can do. Many of us are just not trained on how. I'm hoping some of my videos will inspire you to keep going, maybe even start anew. That's one of the biggest tests with all of this.... you are being tested right now. When you've completely given up, you've failed, so do your best to keep your chin above the water and take it one step forward at a time. 🌹

    Hi Mei, thanks for some interesting tips. Do you have an opinion on whether it is useful to separate your own buyer vs seller identities on these shopping platforms?

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Maybe it is useful but I use the same account to buy and sell for those platforms. I feel it’s like building credit history. You want to consolidate so you can build up your feedback (in the case of eBay and Etsy) and if you ever get into a dispute, at least you have some history that can be used to help your case.

I want to do the same for my mom, shes an amazing artist and has hundreds of paintings but has sold very few because she just doesn't know how that stuff works and has always done it as a hobby/for fun, shes had a few gallery showings and sold some pieces but doesn't really focus on that. My goal is to set everything up for her in a similar way (shopify/FB Group) so she can create a business from selling her art, would be a great way for her to retire!
