I’m seriously considering doing this! I’ already have a Cricut Explore Air 2, heat press, and Cricut mug press. I love this hobby- been doing it for a year now. Thank you for this info!
you should! BUT before you do watch my etsy deactivated video lol! might make you question the platform you choose to sell!!
You described me to a T… I keep saying one day I will make a shop. I love the tips you provided. I am now a happy subscriber!
Hi everyone -- not so good news! My Etsy Shop got DEACTIVATED out of nowhere :( I HIGHLY SUGGEST you watch this video so you can learn from my mistakes & truly know Etsy's policies!! As always, thank you for watching & supporting 💕

So I'm new at this channel, I'm getting a cricket joy for Christmas and a mini press later down. But I'm super excited to get my cricket joy. I've been watching TH-cam video and I just came across Amy and wow you are making me more excited 😊. I just can't wait.
yay!! you're going to love it & i'm so excited for you!
@@AmyMakesThat thank u so much
You don't understand know how much this video means to me. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!
Aw thank you so much! Comments like this make me so happy and appreciate why I make videos in the first place 💕
Thank you so much! I'm currently in the research process. You gave me information that no one else has. Thank you for making this video & for encouraging others along their personal journey. ❤️
Thank you for the information. I have been thinking for 6 months about starting a business but did not know what to do etc. I want to buy a Cricut Maker and will research on what else I need to get. Thanks again for this video. I will be getting back with you.
Yay! Glad I could help :)
Glad I found this...I've been toying with the idea of starting a home based business with a craft...this is helpful
Glad I could help!! ♥️♥️
Great information! I'm having trouble narrowing my niche... I want to do gifts... lots of handmade gifts that will show the recipient that those giving the gift put tons of thought and care into it... shirts, jewelry, Keychains etc. Ughh. Maybe not a great idea??? Also, a bit of trouble coming up with a unique name I LOVE! I had one that just came to me and my family still loves it best, and I keep coming back to it but it incorporates my name and 1 person uses it on FB but with an extra letter. But the domain is a go and other media accounts etc. I wanted something super fun and catchy and thought of great names (I swear I could help others name their business as a career lol) but they were ALL premium domain names that cost over 3000 dollars just up front so can't afford that, at least not now. Plus, people were using them on Facebook without owning the domain but I don't want any legal issues now or if I ever did make it big etc or want to be a jerk to anyone else etc. This is HARD honestly, lol!!! Thought of doing ien and registering etc but my boyfriend thinks that and domain buying is silly now, at least until I know my business does well. But I don't WANT to look at it like that! I want to be like heck yeah my business is gonna do great and thrive!!! But, honestly his thoughts (though he honestly is very supportive, I promise) is having me questioning things. Ughh! 🤔 So, did you wait to see if you sold or could sale items before getting ien and domain etc or get all those squared away first??? I know I'm a new sub and this is super long but, please respond if you can! I really need the advice and possibly just motivation. I've lost a bit due to needing my cricut replaced 2x now waiting on 3rd due to it being defective 3 freaking times!!! So heartbreaking and disappointing that one of my biggest tools needed to do this business has halted my plans. At times it's made me think "is that a sign"? My boyfriend says heck no, that's silly... things happen and its just a bridge to cross before you can fully begin and encouraged me to continue my research and planning etc while waiting on my replacement cricut. Anyway, great content! Thanks again! Best of luck to you with TH-cam and your craft business as well!!! 🙂🙃
so glad I came across your videos. your video has inspired me to start my own Etsy shop I've been hesitant but I feel a bit my confidence with your guidance. 🥰🥰
Thank you!!!! I've been putting off starting my business and you literally just gave me that push to get everything in order to suceed!
I’d love to open a shop on etsy! thank you for this video and the encouragement.
you should definitely go for it! thanks for watching and supporting :)
@@AmyMakesThat where’s your store it says it’s closed!!!
@@CraftyCabbage ohhh don’t you worry, this Monday’s video will be all about that & an update on my shop!!!
I’ve started my Etsy shop this month. I have been researching and planning for months. I just open haven’t gotten any sales yet because I haven’t done much social media advertising. That’s my next step. I have gotten all my legal documents in place but building a design portfolio for customers to shop is taking a lot of time but I decided to just do it and have 2-3 samples a week. I am also using mockup for some designs too. Sometimes I still scared that the actual items might not look like the same as the mockup and the customers might complain so when I have time I will go back and create a real product for those mockup. Yes I have a passion for creating and seeing my designs on customers who love my products. I will continue to grind. Thanks for this talk.wish you many success in your endeavors!
That’s amazing! Good luck to you and glad I can start a conversation about starting a business ☺️
Wow, thank you for the amazing words of encouragement!
Thank you for posting this!!! I like your videos, I will continue to watch them all!

It would definitely be awesome if you make another video explaining s-Corp vs c-Corp and your business checklist please?
thank you!! I'd love to make a video on that and definitely will be soon :)
No problem, you’re awesome! (: I can’t wait to see it soon. Thanks for the reply by the way!(: I hope you have a great day or night. Take care❤️
Great video!
thank you!!
Omg thank you so much for this!
Thank you for watching!!!!
The only video didn't fast forward...hahahaa want to see the action videos like how u do it work product
My niche is putting vinyl on EVERYTHING!!!! I just don’t know what to narrow it down to just 1 or 2 or 3 items.=(
😂😂 SAME isn’t it so addicting!! maybe find a theme that you like the most and see what products fit best with that!
I want to open one but, I’m not sure if u can because I’m only 12! If did make a Etsy shop would sell these really cute mask I make and they are adorable and I just want to know if you have to be a certain age to start one?
I know it’s not mandatory to register your business as an Etsy seller, I would check with Etsy’s policies to see if you can! If not you can always start out and create an Instagram/Facebook page and sell to friends & family 😚 good luck!’
Thats great you're thinking business at your age. Ask your parents or family member to help you get it started. I hope you get it started soon.
@@sincerelysandi that's exactly what I was going to suggest... how great it was especially given her age, and that I'm sure her mom or another parent etc would gladly help by opening a site for her and/or helping with website. Facebook is also a great idea! Good luck to this adventurous, driven, intelligent and talented young lady! 🙂🙃
Your video helped me a lot. How long did it take you to know what items you were selling?
So glad I could help!! And it’s definitely a learning process, I’m still trying to figure out what I love making/selling that’ll be profitable!
thank you so much for inspiring me :((((
Omg Aw!! That makes me so happy 😭😭
@@AmyMakesThat hope you create more videos 😽
@@eshiecaballes5323 tomorrow I'll be back to my normal schedule!! :)
Do you have to register as a business to create an Etsy account?
Where did you get your heat press from, and would you recommend it for someone starting a business?
Everything I mentioned is in the video description!! :) and I definitely recommend getting a commercial use heat press if you’re starting an apparel business! Or anything that requires heat pressing
Do you I want to open me a little small business I’ll make knives and I would like to get me a little machine to make to cut out the plastic to put on Shirts what kind of machine to cut my iron on plastics I’m not sure what I need would you help me get started
What type of business license would I need for making and selling dog bandanas and t shirts??
Hi Paige! That’s a great question, I would definitely speak with an accountant because what mine suggested for me could be different for you! 🤍
tysm!
You’re very welcome!! ❤️
Do you have to register your business and apply for EIN if you haven’t started making money yet? Or even just to start an Etsy?
If I could go back and change what I did, I wouldn't yet apply for an EIN & register the business until I was making a substantial amount of money. I had the mentality of "If I'm starting this Etsy shop, I want to treat it like a business from the beginning" which is why I registered!
@@AmyMakesThat thank you so much for the clarification!
can i use cricut acces images and fonts and put it on items to sell? thank yoh
Hi there! Cricut has this thing called their "Angel Policy" which I suggest you read on their website :) cricut.com/en_us/legal#angel-policy?
For the most part you can, but there are certain regulations such as not selling products with licensed characters on them - even if you’ve purchased them through Design Space. Hope this helps!
My mother & I recently started a new small business together! It’s a craft shop called HoustonHandmadeCo. on IG! I’m so excited thank you for the tips!
Omg congrats!! Glad I can give some advice for you 💕🥰
& make sure you have a business before starting it legally.. make sure it’s not a hobby.
What’s hardest for me is finding my niche :/
don't give up!!! you'll find one ❣

Hi! I would like to start an etsy, shopify or website I'm just not sure if I need to do an LLC or "legal" registration... especially because of the taxes. Can you sell on these platforms without having EINs etc? Thx for ur videos they are so encouraging & informational!! 🤍🙏🏻🤍
