Hey! So a few things I forgot to mention in the video! First of all, I somehow completely forgot that I got a business loan! (I don't know how you forget that but it was almost a year ago now) I got my business loans in July 2023 so during the middle 5-6 months. My business loan was £1,500 and of course was a major part of me being able to scale my business. I was able to buy new machines and loads of new products with the loan, so I don't want to leave that out! It played a massive role! Second! These are rough estimate numbers! I did my best to go back and find everything for this video but as you can see from the above paragraph, I can be forgetful, so there may be small things I forgot about but overall this is how much my business has made and how much it has scaled over the past year and a half! Hope you enjoy the video 🫶💙
You’re doing great Abi. I’ll try to do my best too to boost my small. I’m thinking of starting a TH-cam channel but I’m always doubting about what to explain and if I’ll have time to record and edit the videos because I work full time and I only have 3 hours per day to dedicate to my biz (except when I’m off that is when I work as much as I can). I like to watch you because you’re a very natural person, quite pure.
I have followed you since you started. You have certainly grown and matured in your business. Great job. No one knows the struggles of an artist and small business owner. The number of figures we make in a paycheck don't show the true value of ourselves. As long as you are doing what you love and remember to take for yourself that is all that matters. Great job and love the video. Thank you.
So proud! I feel like so many people stop in the early stages because they feel they can’t grow but growing any business takes time, a lot of patience and hard work. If it’s something that you stick with you can make it even if it’s not full time it’s a good side hustle and today you need at least one of those….Now for the ‘new machine’ you bought that’s tricky I’ll say it’s a button press those are interesting…Can’t wait for the vlog!
I love that I stumbled across your channel a few months ago. I was even able to get one of your gaming tumblers recently and it looks so cute next to my computer 😁 As someone wanting to start their own etsy business soon, this is enormously helpful to get a realistic view of what to expect. Thank you for being do open and honest ❤
Congrats on 4K subscribers Abi!!!!!! Aaaaaaa this is wonderful! you deserve the best. Also Great video, that was so insightful. thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.
I love how transparent and open you are with your small business journey! ❤ With seeing all of these shops that go viral over night, while being happy for them, I often feel like a failure and it discourages me quite a lot. When watching your videos however, I do feel inspired and uplifted! So thanks a lot! 😊
I've been following you for awhile now and I love your videos I look forward to them every week...I love your personality and upbeat attitude despite setbacks you try to keep positive ...you are an inspiration Abi ❤️ well done xx
Been watching your video's for a few months now and it has been such a joy to watch your journey! You have such a contagious positive attitude and have really inspired me! Know that I am very much rooting for your succes and can't wait to see what you'll be doing next
Congrats! Little by little you'll get there. I can't wait to watch next year video, hopefully you'll be full time in your business by then. By the way, if you don't mind sharing, was your youtube revenue figure what you got in your bank or was it before youtube took the 45% xxx
You seem to be at about the same stage as me. I dont take any money and i put it all back in as well. My etsy shop is at about 3 sales a week and my market stalls are now at about 80 a day. but its building week on week.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your journey! I have to ask you what your accent is, I feel like it’s the same as mine! I’m a Geordie but I’ve been living in Canada for 15 years so my accent is jumbled with other things now 😂
I am just starting out my business it all seems daunting, took months to set up my website, I still don’t have decent content on my TH-cam so will never get subscribers.. your doing great x
I think the videos you see people making £1500 at a market stall makes you feel like a failure. I started doing market stalls and was getting £100-150 and thought I did terrible and I have gave up my business since. Well done, I should have kept going x

Love your art it’s so cute maybe another one of the heat press tumbler machines or a 3d printer
Congrats! Little by little you'll get there. I can't wait to watch next year video, hopefully you'll be full time in your business by then.
By the way, if you don't mind sharing, was your youtube revenue figure what you got in your bank or was it before youtube took the 45%
xxx
the numbers were after youtube took their cut so thats what I made ☺
I watch most of your videos I like the ones where you design new art or you packing orders or the con artist alley video
Congratulations, keep it up ☺️
dont forget to keep on top of your accounts as that can be a big job
You seem to be at about the same stage as me. I dont take any money and i put it all back in as well. My etsy shop is at about 3 sales a week and my market stalls are now at about 80 a day. but its building week on week.

Good ear ahah! I'm a geordie too! Still here in the UK though I just don't think my accent is very strong 😂
I am just starting out my business it all seems daunting, took months to set up my website, I still don’t have decent content on my TH-cam so will never get subscribers.. your doing great x

I am always in disbelief at these numbers!
I reckon it's a xtool m1 laser machine if it's not you should I've just brought 1 it's amazing
Thank you for a realistic video, didn’t you get a business loan for your sublimation stuff though? X
Great growth over time, one step at a time. Hmmm either a larger heat press of a laser cutter
Auto heat press maybe 🤔
You keep saying quarter but show 6 months
Must be a heat press xxx
