Not having a website or an online presence I sell so well at craft fairs I've lots future and repeat customers cuz I've been to nervous about putting my stuff on line and to focused about being stressed about seo
My failure is knowing when to stop buying! My new rule for myself is...no more than 150 pieces in my store at a time! If I sell 10 pieces, then I can pick up 10 more and so on! It's working for me! Thank u, Margaret for the outstanding knowledge...as always!
you’re the FIRST person i’m watching before starting my journey with this! & i’m glad about that because this video was helpful! 💜 gonna watch more of your videos after this one :))
Thank you so much! I just started making beaded jewelry some clay beads, some natural beads & stones and some some glass beads. But each piece is absolutely gorgeous and in good lighting. I am hopeful and once I get a few pieces sold I will feel so encouraged considering I spent sometimes hours perfecting every piece.
Danoisahairgeek I had that fesr also, so I posted one item to my store just to see what would happen and it sold right away....it ended up being so easy to make happen, it lit the fire under me!
So I wanted to say thank you. Because of you I found the guts to list some items on my eBay. I’ve been collecting jewelry for a couple of months now and I finally took that leap and did it. So thanks again. You gave me the courage to do this.
Love your thinking . How we horde it if you only knew. I don’t fool with pictures either if there not clear . Move on . There is a lot off competition from when I joined 6 months a go. Looking forward to following you!
Those are excellent tips, Margaret! I guess my failure when it come to selling jewelry, is not knowing about the jewelry as to tell what it actually is--is it a genuine diamond? Is it gold or gold overlay? Is it genuine turquoise? Is it vintage? etc.
Thank you for the good tips!!! I'm starting this as a hobby, empty nester here! I'm hoarding mine right now because I need to figure out what I'm doing. Lol. So thank you!!!
I started selling custom jewelry a couple months ago and I have made a lot of these mistakes but I been improving on it. I feel like my biggest issue now is failing to find my target audience. I have succeeded twice with influencer marketing and paid social media marketing but after that I was lost on what to do.
Great video and information, I have so many things that I have no idea about let alone where to start, the reason I have so much which really isn't a great deal compared to what you and many others would have, is I bought all the jewelry at a thrift store that was closing down. Cheers.
SOMETIMES PICTURES I'M SURE, FOR DESCRIPTIONS. I LOOK FOR DAYS TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE SELLING THE SAME PIECE TO FIND OUT SOMETHING ABOUT IT IF I CANT FIND A MARK OR SIGNATURE
I post on Facebook, letgo instantgram and other sites I actually get a lot of views and likes but not too many sales from these sites and on top of that I have anxiety issues when it comes to selling my jewelry at art galleries or flea markets. I have up to 450 items that I've made it feels like I'm just hoarding them . I honestly don't know where to start can you help me
My partner just pointed out my failure to launch after you had mentioned it in this video. Lol...I inherited a ton of jewelry parts and pieces, and have bought quite a bit as well. We have fallen in love with designing and making pieces and also have quite a bit done and ready to go. Yet we have not opened our store online... It is hard just getting going... Any advice to get us motivated? I would also love your opinion on some of our pieces! Thanks, and wonderful to meet you on here!
Hey Kristofer, Thanks so much for watching! One piece at a time. It gets overwhelming. I like to focus on one thing, like 10 rings or 10 bracelets and go from there
Hi!! I’m back!! I just love you!! How did you know I was a hoarder? I’m failing to launch. I’ve got my hands in a million different pots right now and I’m slowly starting to get organized. Whatever the heck that mean!! 😂
I've been thinking about starting a silver jewlery business exactly like this, however I've been hesitating... Do you think this would make a good income for a stay home mom? My mom has been thinking on starting but we still hesitate. Great video!
Great tips! I always worry that I will describe something wrong. Like the type of bead or style. I know this has stopped me from listing some items. I really enjoy all of your videos. Thanks!
Brenda Merkel yep ...you are not alone...I think we all have some common fears...but I think may be hold our nose, and jump in the deep in end of the pool...lol
Great info and video! "I STRONGLY recommend jewelry to EVERYONE interested in running a successful online business! The service was excellent. It's exactly what I've been looking for. Jewelry is the real deal!"
Texas Gal, I’ve been inspired by your channel. Today I was at an estate sale and just as the sale was ending, I offered to buy all 😳 their jewelry for $60. I probably have 1,000 pieces. Lots of it is junk. Some is not. So, here we go.
Haha I’m horrible at measurements trying to do better... I sale on Etsy Jens Sunshine Designs thinking to do eBay or postmark as well but not sure what to choose 😊
Hi ive just come accross this video i have about 15 boxes full of un made jewellery that my auntie left when she passed away she use to make it herself we are wanting to get rid of it really but no idea where to start just looking for some tips if anyone could help
Taking clear pics was a challenge. Even when I focus and get it crystal clear it's still somewhat blurry when I zoom in. I use the most recent android phone so the camera is great. Just wondering if you've experienced this?
What’s been your ‘fail’ when selling jewelry?
Texas Gal Treasures failure to launch....lol....waiting for some things...,in my defense I have had to wait. I'm blaming my sister ......lololol
Texas Gal Treasures love this video, thanks so much, I definitely need help for my store . Anyway you would critique my store?

I bought a whole lot of beads because I was going to start making jewelry... but I’ve been looking at so many ideas and I don’t know where to start!
I hope you have started! Just do it! Sometimes you will fail, however sometimes you will have masterpieces!
Those are excellent tips, Margaret! I guess my failure when it come to selling jewelry, is not knowing about the jewelry as to tell what it actually is--is it a genuine diamond? Is it gold or gold overlay? Is it genuine turquoise? Is it vintage? etc.
I totally get that! I have a diamond tester for that. Pop pics in the group and we can help!
@@TexasGalTreasures What about other gems like tanzanite, amythest, amber etc etc.

I needed all of that, especially the encouragement. Thank you.
So glad you found it helpful, Naomi Absher!

My fail is that I have anxiety and so it's hard for me to go up to people.
Tatiana L sell online
I have horrible anxiety over anything to do with selling. I appreciate your time and attention to detail. Thank you for helping me be brave.
Take 5-htp and be more active
I’ve been wanting to sell my jewelry that I’ve been making for a while and these tips have definitely helped to motivate me

Me too!
Hi!! I’m back!! I just love you!! How did you know I was a hoarder? I’m failing to launch. I’ve got my hands in a million different pots right now and I’m slowly starting to get organized. Whatever the heck that mean!! 😂
LOL, Rebecca Myers!
Do you ever sell cubic zirconium. Sorry if I spelt that wrong, but was wondering if you sell that type of thing and how would you price it?
good try....thank you for your time
Mine must really be bad, yours look good to me.
I've been thinking about starting a silver jewlery business exactly like this, however I've been hesitating... Do you think this would make a good income for a stay home mom? My mom has been thinking on starting but we still hesitate. Great video!
my failure is the last thing you said "failure to launch"
How much can one make selling jewelry? Honestly? Is it worth leaving my full time job? Can I support my family?
Great tips! I always worry that I will describe something wrong. Like the type of bead or style. I know this has stopped me from listing some items. I really enjoy all of your videos. Thanks!
Brenda Merkel yep ...you are not alone...I think we all have some common fears...but I think may be hold our nose, and jump in the deep in end of the pool...lol
Thanks, Brenda!! If you have questions about a stone/bead, pop it in the group and we'll attack it together!
Great info and video! "I STRONGLY recommend jewelry to EVERYONE interested in running a successful online business! The service was excellent. It's exactly what I've been looking for. Jewelry is the real deal!"
What are do’s and don’ts to finishing jewelry?!
Brilliant video Margaret! Very helpful :)
The Celtic Traders, :) Thank you very much!! :)
How does one sell family diamond rings? There are a few rubies and sapphires as well. Appraisals? Certifications?
Go to a jeweler
Thank You margaret!! beautiful tips.
Maam what is banned in jewellary...
My failure is not knowing what I have. Not knowing time periods, a lot of pieces don’t have marks, also not familiar with stones. Ugh
Great, informative video! Thank you so much!
christine white, :) Thank you very much!! :)
Hi,
Do you think sterling 925 silver jewellery selling on eBay or online is also good?
Probably
Just joined your Facebook pages. Hello from Australia.
Texas Gal, I’ve been inspired by your channel. Today I was at an estate sale and just as the sale was ending, I offered to buy all 😳 their jewelry for $60. I probably have 1,000 pieces. Lots of it is junk. Some is not. So, here we go.
Stacey Floyd, Sweet!!
How did that haul go for you Stacey?
Thanks so much for your information .

Hey Cheryl, Thanks so much for watching! You can do it!
Gosh I had to leave, you took too long and tried too hard to be funny.
Your title is not encouraging at all, I know what angle you are coming from but it just sounds so blehh
