Nia! I just wanted to tell you that I started my Etsy shop today! Thank you for all this advice last year, I definitely kept it in mind as I was building what I was wanting to do.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I am about to embark on a quilting hobby and I've just purchased a sewing machine, it will arrive on Monday. My plan is to start off by making aprons in order to become familiar with my machine, different fabrics, etc. Your video has really helped me see the reality of selling your handmade crafts and I can now better approach my venture with a good attitude. Thank you again and may you do very well.
Thank you so much for this uber-honest video! I've been thinking about starting an etsty store for AGES and I am finally biting the bullet and getting some products together to sell. I (like so many others) am just scared to take the leap, but I'm sick enough of my day job now to just GO for it! I also want to have a creative job, something I ENJOY doing, and something I can do from home when I become a mom. Thanks again for your words of wisdom!! :*
Nia, you are so sweet! I am definitely inspired by you. I watch your channel and your family vlogs too. I see you to be a Proverbs 31 woman. I am so excited for you and your family as you await the arrival of sweet baby Juliet! God bless you and your family!!! 💗
Thanks for celebrating Woman Nia !!!! you are an insperation, a mother, wife and a great businesswoman!!!!
Thank you so much for answering my question! I am now more excited to start an etsy shop and I feel more prepared for it as well. Thank you Nia, you're wonderful! 😊
You are a true inspiration! Would love to see more videos of your business journey! Very informative and "friendly"!!
I wish you all God's blessings and success in your business!
Hi Nia
Thank you so much for this valuable advice on running your craft business. I will be taking your schedule pointers into my schedule and using them myself. I also a full time crafter and a mother of three here in the UK. You make this look easy.
Right now I'm up at 10:15pm making my products with my baby sleeping next to me.
This is not what I envisioned running a business......but hey you gotta start from somewhere.
Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see more of your videos.
Thank you. I was watching another youtuber that had pretty much talked me out of selling on Etsy. You have restoked the fire for me to move towards opening a store.
Thank you for your advice. I am just at the stage of thinking about starting my own etsy business
Thank you
You seriously look so amazing!! You are so inspirational and I can't wait to see baby Juliet. Love you and your whole family!!
This was so encouraging and such a gem to find. Thank you so much for sharing your Etsy journey!
I love your channel Nia! ,
Thank you so much for sharing your success story.
I have been thinking about opening an etsy shop but I didn't know the logistics of running a craft buisness. This video was both encouraging and inspiring for me. And now I feel more confident about having an in home buisness. It's so wonderful to see a woman lifting other women up and sharing her wisdom with them. Thank you Nia.
+Cortney Ortiz aww so sweet! I'm glad it was helpful for you!
Out of all the videos I have watched, this has been the most helpful for me in regards to confidence and push. Within the next two weeks, I will be opening up shop. I have so much to do as far as the financial peace but I'm ready to go forward. Thank you so much for everything. You rock!

This has been so helpful! For a few years now I have wanted to open up an etsy shop but have talked myself out of it because of three kiddos under 5.... But the things I make for my kids or home or parties everyone loves or wants me to make them and they constantly ask why I dont have a business... I think I am finally ready to take the leap!
Love love love this. Thank you Nia for sharing. You'v e given me some great ideas to promote my Etsy shop and motivation to keep going. Thank you. Love your wreaths so much too.
I love this video, Nia!
When I had my little girl 3 years ago, I started my own ceramics business from home. I get frustrated at times because I feel like people don't quite understand how big of a process anything with ceramics entails, and how NOT EASY it is, but I won't give up because I really want to be successful! I made a profit in my first year, and sold about the same the next year, but interestingly enough, I noticed that my 2nd year orders were much larger orders. I find myself having a hard time with being consistent though. Some months all I do is create with clay, and then I have months where I don't even want to touch it, or just simply can't because I don't have enough time to do it the way I feel like I should, and I do notice how business lags a little when I do take breaks, and then it takes me a longer time for business to start back up again. I'd love to start my own etsy shop, but don't yet have a way of doing what I do via mail. Someday though. I'm trying to figure something out. =)
Nia that was so informative! Really inspiring, felt like a friend was giving advice and encouragement xxx
This was so fascinating! I'm not currently in a stage of life to have an Etsy shop, but as an artsy lady, I like daydreaming about creating a home-based business. Thank you for sharing this information and your tips. :)
So interesting to hear more about your business Nia! Thanks for making this!
Nia, thank you for inspiring me from the beginning! I'm not at the etsy point but hope to be someday! Thanks for your pointers through IG & encouragement. I've been finding it hard to zero in on the style I want to portray, although I like how you mentioned how you reevaluate prior to each season.
Thank you so much for answering my question !
I am very grateful for the video because it is really difficult and confusing to start your own business. I'm from Brazil so I know everything is kinda different but your example is amazing ! Again ,thank you so much!
This video was so, so helpful! Thank you! I have been wanting to start making dog bandanas and baby (bandana) bibs for a while and got so overwhelmed when I looked into starting an Etsy shop. This made me get back to feeling like I can do it, though! And I'm so excited to go for it! You're adorable and very inspiring, by the way. Love your vlogs
+Samantha . . . I hope you go for it!!
I like how you used the questions to determine what you talked about. :) You actually kept my attention through the whole video.
GREATTTTTTTTT! video, Thank You! this was sooopp helpful. I am trying to get out of 25yrs. in retail & focus on my small craft business. I appreciate this VIDEO & you and your journey. Thank You! again 👍
This is literally come at the most perfect time for me!
I've made a small amount of wreaths for family and friends and a baby announcement board for a friend of mine to. I made them after seeing the ones you had made and loving them!
Now I've done it I'm really eager to do a Facebook ground and etsy shop, I'm from London and feel like wreaths aren't as huge here as they are in America except at Christmas time. So I feel like i may have found something that I love making, it really excites me and makes me feel like I've achieved something and that people may not be used to so might really enjoy it. I've been so nervous and constantly worried about it. You've answered so many of the questions I've been asking myself.
Great video thanks so much for posting it xxx

+Darlene Nym yes! Do it! I'm so happy that I was able to contribute even a tiny bit!
+Nia's Nest I nia I love your story bc that means that I'm not the only one. I lost my baby sister
Ooh Nia thank you for this! An etsy shop is always in the back of my mind; I love making cards and stationary and wall art, and the idea of sharing them with people gets me excited. I'm still thinking about it, but this is such a great resource and answered some questions I had. Thank you!
+Tessa Maye that's exciting! I hope you go for it when the time is just right for you!
I'm considering opening an Etsy store. This was great information! And I liked how you gave credit to God!!! Thanks for sharing.

I loved your video!! Thank you for all of your advices 😀!!!
Hi Nia, this is very helpful! Could you do a video on how you organize all your crafts materials? Do you use elfa shelving?
This was very helpful. My sister is thinking about having an Etsy shop! You are so amazing. By the way on today's vlog I died of laughter watching Sam with Abram on the toilet.
I started a business on etsy 2 weeks ago. thank you for this video.

Great video for beginners and simple advice to follow
Awesome video Nia! I don't think I'll ever start a cart business even though I'm a teacher I'm not super crafty. But I love your wreaths and want to get one sometime soon when my fiancé and I get our own place :)

I currently have another platform I sell on, but I'm looking into etsy and maybe selling other products. Thank you for sharing!
Am just getting up nerve to sell. Although everyone's been pointing out there is no fee on etsy, I am comparing online sales to brick & mortar sales. Seems to be a bigger risk and expense if I pay rent, utilities, taxes, etc, on the shop. I'm sure I'd be happy with a small fee. (But glad none). Your q&a was great. You answered a lot of my questions. Thank you.
thank you Nia for this video, it did motivates me to start a business here in malaysia. thanks once again. god bless you.
thank you so much for this informative video....very inspirational
Great informative video, thanks Nia.
started my own etsy shop. making homemade soaps and beauty products, such as soap, face cream, bath bombs, face and body scrubs, etc. got me some bathes made. going to give my friends a little samples to try and tell people if it's good and if its not let me know why. then going to actually start up the shop with the items. great tips thanks.
Can you do a tutorial for a more complex wreath? Maybe with different layers or something THANK YOU!!!
Great information! Thanks for sharing.
Do you like the foam or wire for wreaths?? I feel like they both are good for different types.
Thank you for the info. You are amazing
Thanks for posting💕
Wonderful advice!
this is so great!
First! love you Niaaaa
And btw Happy Women's Day to you Nia!
Yas
thank you so much Nia this video is very interesting
Thank you so much. you are so inspiring.
Awesome! Thank you for this video! :)
Great video feel inspired
Nia you should have put a link to your store in the description bar. Thanks for the video very inspiring.
I love how while I'm watching this I'm making stuff to put on my Etsy store.
+Alice Lewellen I also watched it while working on orders for the Etsy store! :)
Thanks this was really helpful! You said you buy from Hobby Lobby. Do you ever buy materials in bulk? Have you ever ran into the issue of not being able to find the same materials needed for an item you listed?
Hey Nia! I was wondering how you store the wreaths you make ahead of time. I have a fb page for my lil wreath business and right now I'm doing custom wreaths.. which doesn't really do that good. I want to try to make them ahead but I don't know how to store them! It'd be awesome if you could reply! :) Love your vlogs on here and your family's!!❤️
How do you package your wreaths? If you ship in boxes where do you purchase and size.
Thank you so much for this! I love your family vlog but didn't even realize you had your own channel! Questions: Did you register as a business? I thought I could just open a shop on Etsy, which I did, but am hearing that to do it the "right" way I need to register with my state/city/county and charge tax and all that fun stuff. That's the biggest hindrance for me right now because my profit would definitely not cover all those fees right now! Any insight on this would be appreciated!
Thanks for the encouragement Nia! I'm definitely going to work harded on my Esty shop! it's PumpkinHats if you want to check it out. I'm getting ready to add some more stuff to it now.
TFS! Very helpful!
Thanks for the vedio.this is really helpful
Hey Nia! So my mom saw the XL burlap cross wreath you made for someone a while back and was wondering if you could make one for her?
Excellent video - very informative
Awesome Nia
You look so pretty today!!
