Thank you, I just opened a shopee store and have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, I have no collection planned, and only a few pieces made but I also wanted to just START.
i’m not able to open a shopee store where i am in the world, but i’ve heard good things !! yessss sometimes it’s about making that first move, i wish you all the best 🥰✨
I’ve been crocheting for a year now. But want to start selling my finished projects like RIGHT NOW. But I’m stuck on what to do and how to start. So yeah! This video will definitely help me though
i really appreciate you making this video, very helpful! i got more motivated to produce my own crochet business thanks to you. goodluck on your business!
I have been thinking about starting my own crochet shop online and ive been feeling very unsure and scared , watching this video definitely gives me some ideas on what i shld and shouldnt do.
I used to have a large Etsy shop but have nothing listed at the moment as I am a bit annoyed at the much larger fees than when I first started . How are you finding it now ?
ah i’m a newbie to Etsy and only opened my shop not too long ago !! but i know the fees are really hurting other businesses right now, so it’s definitely worth considering that too when pricing your items 🥲
I’ve found Shopify to be great but the $29 a month was a little much. There’s a definitely a learning curve with them. I moved over to square recently because of the free card reader that I was going to buy for art walks anyways and the cheaper monthly fee that’s optional (basically just a bunch of features). I hated Etsy they took all my money and I was making $4-10 less than my listing pricing every time 🥲
@@capricornstitches yeah it's useful to compare different selling platforms if you're concerned about the monthly fees, personally i didn't have the budget when starting out so something simple like BigCartel for free was a gift !! so many love square space if you can pay monthly fees though, and i didn't know about the card reader so thank you for sharing here 😊 for those who can't afford monthly fees, they can also consider online marketplaces like depop, ebay etc. but again just be wary of fees when pricing !
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I’ve started my amigurumi business (stuffed crocheted toys) for a while now but I still can’t manage posting frequent on social media. I don’t know what to post if I’m on a crochet toy that’s not finished yet. Any tips/ ideas? Many thanks 😘
that’s amazing i wish you all the success ! don’t worry about posting lots since big projects take a longer time, i’d recommend posting your progress / behind the scenes reels to get people interested ☺️💗
How is your business going now? I’m thinking of also just starting my crochet business too as well. Cuz I’ve been crocheting for a whole year now, but decided it’s time I sell them for money. But I’m scared cuz I do not know how or where to start. But by watching this video, I’m pretty sure I know what to do now
Thank you, I have watched this video twice and it was very helpful I took lots of notes and I really love the way you portrayed the information. Definitely inspirational!!
Bro i’m so happy you made this video! As soon as i clicked on this video, i instantly understood everything you were saying because you said it so clearly and you gave very helpful tips. I am planning on starting an Etsy business and i wanted to know if maybe i could dm you to ask for some help with my business? You don’t have to do anything for my business of course, i just want tips for budgets, recommended yarns etc. 💗
I found a couple of problems with doing more personal orders for people. 1. People asked for the impossible…..for example one person said that they didn’t want to see the stitches! 2. It was rather boring making the same pattern over and over again……for me. Just thought I would add this to your very good list. Thank you very much.
I’ve been obsessed with crochet recently and once I have the money to get supplies to ship things or sell at fairs and stuff I’ve really been thinking of doing so
Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been crocheting for about 6 months and it’s always been my dream to start my own business. I live in Bangladesh so getting good supplies is tricky. One thing I’m really confused about is what I should sell. I have a couple in mind such as AirPod/ earphone holder, flower coasters, bookmarks, pouches, and keychains. Would those be good starter items? I also picked these because they don’t take me a lot of time and I’m currently in school so I want things that I can make quickly.
With clothing would you charge more for larger sizes? Because they need more yarn. Only I have made a small cardigan with half the amount of yarn balls and I wouldn't have to charge too much, but I made one in a larger Size and if I charged the same as the small I'd make no profit x
ah yeah that totally makes sense !! personally i don’t charge extra, and i know a few other businesses that don’t because they increase their price so that costs of materials / labour are not effected but of course it’s your decision, and materials should always be included ☺️
How do you get yarn for your business and orders? I want to start but I have absolutely nothing and I need capital to even invest and buy yarn so it's still gonna take me a while but do you only order after someone orders or?
i was exactly the same when starting !! so i bought bargain yarn and was as thrifty as possible with the little yarn i already had 😅 now i only tend to buy for orders that come in, also perhaps consider smaller products that use less yarn for now 💗
thanks for the video! very helpful. I’m new to making a crochet business - I’d like to make one but I’m not sure what website to use. I was thinking Etsy but their fees seem expensive… at the moment I’m trying to sell off Facebook marketplace. should I continue with Facebook marketplace or is there another website I could use? thanks!
i’m so glad, thank you for watching ! for physical products i only sell on Depop now, and keep Etsy for crochet patterns ☺️ for your own website i recommend BigCartel, as it’s free up to a certain number of products ✨ the only other marketplace i can think of is eBay, i’ve never tried Facebook myself but if it works for you then keep growing your page !
they have so many ! if you have an idea of what you’re looking for like a pink, see which shades they have and search google images for more of an accurate swatch ✨
@@samikapanchal9964 mine included washing temperature, using a laundry bag, using a low heat setting when ironing and drying flat when possible ! amigurumi i'm sure will be different though so check your materials 😊
hello! my dad wants me to start an etsy shop, but i’m not sure how it works. this might be a very basic (or stupid) question, but could you sell crocheted items that you used someone else’s pattern for? it seems wrong considering you wouldn’t have made the original, but you still go through the process of crocheting it. at the moment, i am not that creative enough to crochet something just out of my head, so please let me know!
no questions are stupid ! i’ve seen some people sell physical products from other people’s patterns, which is fine to do as long as the pattern states it 😌 if you’re not sure i always suggest contacting the original designer and asking permission !
Love this!! Could you make a video about how to grow your crochet Instagram account? Or your business on Instagram like ideas of what to post and how to be part of the crochet community I would love to get some tips 💞💞 thank you
Hi thank you for this! Ive just started a vinted account and am doing limited pieces supported by a tik tok account. I don’t want anything more than a little hobby out of it so my prices aren’t very high i think its about average. I am worried about my patterns being copied even though i have mostly done very common things (scrunchies, cat hats, bunny beanies) ive checked with creators to make sure i can sell more specific things but would you say its okay to make the scrunchies from what i think is the correct way that i like to make them and sell them without asking anyone? Thank you and i hope that made sense XD i just get very anxious about this and its a step out my comfort zone ❤
amazing ! like i said, just be aware that Vinted can sometimes be problematic w handmade items 😔 as for patterns, it’s always going to be tricky bc everything is inspired by something to a degree, even my patterns have been influenced by old 70s designs ! i feel like it’s always polite to ask the original creator, maybe that you’re wanting to adapt their pattern but will credit the original ?? i wish you all the best on your new journey 💗✨
Hello Dear Megan, How many stock of dress we have to make? I have a plan to start the business. And I came across your channel you're inspiring me a lot. Thank you so much
thank you ! it’s up to you how many to make, as long as you enjoy ☺️ you could make 1 special item and then open orders for the same design, or make as many items as you like and sell them all at once people have lots of methods which suit them !
i’m in the UK where the only marketplace that doesn’t charge fees is Vinted, but you have to be careful bc they can remove listings if they think you’re a commercial seller ! most places will charge a fee, even with my own website, i can upload items for free but PayPal will charge a transaction fee 😩 of course you can also sell through social media (eg Instagram) and have your PayPal transactions classed as personal 💗
@@doodiescrochetI really would avoid having the transactions set to personal if you are selling things using PayPal! I almost got my account shut down and lost money because PayPal suspected it
oh i’m glad 😌 if someone does message via Etsy, you can create a separate shop listing for them, but to save fees i’ve always asked for payment directly (either via bank transfer / PayPal)
Hello! I was wondering if I can create jack and other characters and sell it but crediting you. Would that be considered copyright? If so I won’t do it I just want to know. Especially since it’s Disney related, I’m still new on copyright.
for a big brand like Disney they would have the intellectual property so you have to contact them for permission, i know pattern designers who use characters like Miffy / Snoopy but i’m not sure if they asked permission 🤔 hmm i might include this in a Q+A i’m filming and have a look !
thank you, happy to help where i can !! i believe LLC is a US term but speaking as someone based in the UK: my business isn’t registered as a limited company, instead i’m registered with HMRC as a sole trader (self-employed) since it’s just me behind the brand registering as a limited company does help with tax as i believe you pay less income tax if you are, although since my earnings are low / manageable right now, i don’t feel the need for any of those tax benefits or having liability in case of any losses sorry i don’t have much experience with registering as a limited company so i can’t comment on the process, but i would register if my earnings where above a certain threshold or i wanted security in case of any losses i hope this long response helps ! 😅
hello! i love your video, it is very helpful! i want to ask though, do i have to get a business paypal? i don’t have a legal adult that is able to take me to the bank to create a checking account (im 17 and i’d have to wait until im 18 to do it myself) so, i got cashapp. thank you again!
thank you !! of course you don’t need a business PayPal, it’s only a recommendation for the website platform i use ☺️ as long as it’s a safe method that works for you !
i’m still fearful whenever i release a product i’ve made into the world 😅 it’s only natural when you’ve dedicated yourself to something, it’s like sharing a part of you too ! but don’t let the fear hold you back, and think of the joy your work could bring to someone else 🥰
Can I start a custom crochet small business? Like anyone can just text me what they want and they can design it as they like? I just need to make what they want
of course, your business is entirely what you make it ! if that’s what sparks and brings you joy ☺️ in the beginning a big part is gaining a following / exposure so orders can generate ✨
i’m trying to start a business so i can help my mom buy a 400,000 house that her dad is selling in her home land guatemala, you can imagine how hard it is to get money fast , also since her dad had sold their land and so she is the only one who doesn’t have a house there bc they didn’t think of her, we are here in guatemala for a vacation for a month and she started crying when we went to go walk around the land who used to belong to her family, i’m making it my life’s mission to pay for her house.. I’m 12 so thank you for this and i’m very happy that i will be able to help her out with this amazing video !!
@@doodiescrochet oh okay, tysm for the help, but do u know the exact regulations for the toys? ive been trying to find out, but have not found anything. :) tysm for your help. x
@@BubutheBallerInDaHouse i'm not too educated on toys, but someone in the comments did mention to check out CE and UKCA regulations (apparently there's helpful support groups on facebook too) also look into trading standards where you're based, because there's things like safety tests !
@@BubutheBallerInDaHouse it obviously depends where you're based, but for me the only platform is Vinted, of course though i've had problems with handmade items there and so i don't recommend them for long-term use !

Hi thank you for this! Ive just started a vinted account and am doing limited pieces supported by a tik tok account. I don’t want anything more than a little hobby out of it so my prices aren’t very high i think its about average. I am worried about my patterns being copied even though i have mostly done very common things (scrunchies, cat hats, bunny beanies) ive checked with creators to make sure i can sell more specific things but would you say its okay to make the scrunchies from what i think is the correct way that i like to make them and sell them without asking anyone? Thank you and i hope that made sense XD i just get very anxious about this and its a step out my comfort zone ❤
By that i meant that i want to use patterns that are sometimes made by others but tweaked a bit by me
amazing ! like i said, just be aware that Vinted can sometimes be problematic w handmade items 😔
as for patterns, it’s always going to be tricky bc everything is inspired by something to a degree, even my patterns have been influenced by old 70s designs !
i feel like it’s always polite to ask the original creator, maybe that you’re wanting to adapt their pattern but will credit the original ??
i wish you all the best on your new journey 💗✨
for products on stock, how do you size them?? like what’s the length and width for S, M, L, etc tops?
when i first started, i compared my own size guide to another business and then figured out my own measurements ☺️
Hello Dear Megan,
How many stock of dress we have to make?
I have a plan to start the business. And I came across your channel you're inspiring me a lot.

thank you ! it’s up to you how many to make, as long as you enjoy ☺️
you could make 1 special item and then open orders for the same design, or make as many items as you like and sell them all at once

This is awesome.
Where did you apply for your LLC
thank you, happy to help where i can !! i believe LLC is a US term but speaking as someone based in the UK:
my business isn’t registered as a limited company, instead i’m registered with HMRC as a sole trader (self-employed) since it’s just me behind the brand
registering as a limited company does help with tax as i believe you pay less income tax if you are, although since my earnings are low / manageable right now, i don’t feel the need for any of those tax benefits or having liability in case of any losses
sorry i don’t have much experience with registering as a limited company so i can’t comment on the process, but i would register if my earnings where above a certain threshold or i wanted security in case of any losses
i hope this long response helps ! 😅
Dose Etsy take money from u ?for example when u get order dose it take 20% like that I hope u understand what am trying to say 😅❤
yes Etsy does take a fee ! i forget the exact percentage rn but you should take it into consideration when pricing ☺️

thank you !! of course you don’t need a business PayPal, it’s only a recommendation for the website platform i use ☺️ as long as it’s a safe method that works for you !
What happens if you want to sell something but the pattern doesn’t belong to you???
always check for terms / disclaimer either in the video description or written pattern, if you can’t find anything simply contact the designer ! ☺️
What app do you use to edit your instagram photos?
so i used to just use my iPhone’s photo editor and then add watermarks / doodles using Paint 3D on my laptop, recently i’ve been trying Canva ☺️
I have some questions on starting a crochet business. Is it possible for us to chat off TH-cam.
you’re welcome to contact via my website ! (link in description)
I really want to start selling but I am not confident about my pieces yet and it gives me anxiety just to think about it😮💨
self-doubt will always be a hurdle, especially with anything creative ! you can always begin by building a portfolio and sharing your work online 🫶🏻

hi Inaya ☺️ sadly i don’t specialise in amigurumi, but i’d assume it would be tricky because of Vinted’s rules and with regulations for toys !
@@doodiescrochet oh okay, tysm for the help, but do u know the exact regulations for the toys? ive been trying to find out, but have not found anything. :) tysm for your help. x
@@BubutheBallerInDaHouse i'm not too educated on toys, but someone in the comments did mention to check out CE and UKCA regulations (apparently there's helpful support groups on facebook too) also look into trading standards where you're based, because there's things like safety tests !
@@doodiescrochet oh okay, tysm, and do u have any places where i can sell my amigurumi with no fees/
@@BubutheBallerInDaHouse it obviously depends where you're based, but for me the only platform is Vinted, of course though i've had problems with handmade items there and so i don't recommend them for long-term use !
