5 changes i'm making to my art business...
hi friends so todays video is all about changes i am making to my small business going forward. every so often i like to revaluate my business and see whats working and what isnt for me and here are some changes i am making! i thought id share those thoughts in todays video just incase any small business owners are also interested in hearing what im doing and maybe can use this as inspiration or just food for thoughts! anyway enjoy the small business changes vlog, i hope you enjoy!
1 - i need to start creating stuff to a checklist of things i want to create for the month. sometimes i leave all my shop update goodies until shop update week and then cant fit in all the creations i actually want to make so i need to forefront my creativity.
2 - i need more time allocated to creating custom pet charms. talking to customers takes a while longer than anticipated and im feeling under pressure so changing this turnaround time is going to help me.
3 - i need to batch create. i need not be scared of things sitting in my shop. i dont need to sell out on shop update day/week.
4 - i need to move away from etsy and go back to my own solo shop! i used shopify before and really got on with it so bye bye nasty etsy fees (also hilariously got put on ANOTHER etsy temporary payment hold for 90 days the day after i filmed this video sooooo they've dug their own hole even deeper there!)
5 - i need to create more value style videos. i want to help other small business owners and give other people inspo to create a business from their art.

how to glaze polymer clay charms *uv resin* TOP TIPS including links!
Is it stilö waterproof like this?? Tysm ♡❤
This helps me a lot with my craft. Thank you, you’re a life saver!
this is amazing !!!
what paint do you use?
Love it!
So I have a question for you! When I do really thin coats at least with the first one I see a lot of inconsistency and even some pulling from edges. do i soldier on and just trust the process and keep adding thin thin layers?
This is super helpful. I am just dipping in this craft(haven't made anything yet). I've been buying materials. Thank you
Resin doesn't work on the clay. It's damaged after a few days.😢😢😢
Hi they are super good… I have a doubt, can we use epoxy resin to glaze the clay or it’s best to use UV resin?
This is epoxy resin 🥰
I love the idea of using epoxy resin as glaze. Please make more videos like this
thank you for this wonderful guide! i'm starting out with making figurines and this is a huge help.
Setting your UV lamp upright why do I feel dumb how obvious a solution that is lol. I have been doing half and then the other half so that I can set them on the tray.
hahah sometimes all it takes is seeing someone else do it hey!! glad i could help!
What do you use to stick the charms on the tile? Is that just gray polymer clay?
its blu-tac :D
I absolutely adore everything you make . I always have done and i treasure everything I have been lucky to purchase from you , right down to the wooden gingerbread men ❤ I’m so excited for everything you have to come and I love my little bois ❤️ really looking forward to your next update. ❤
love love love my wooden gingerbread men too!!! the future may involve me doing a bit of woodwork again as resin is kiiiiiiilllllllling me haha
@@sugarshrimp ohhhh CHELSEY ❤️ I still absolutely adore everything you are making !!!!! Thank you so so much . The new shop update is so amazing and am so excited I managed to get the 2 newest charms of the month. Please never step creating 🙏 just love you !!! Good luck for your wedding ❤️💕❤️
Resin dissolves in isopropyl alcohol so is it okay to use it to rub off the tackiness? I'm just worried that i might wipe off the resin.
ive never had an issue! it just takes the tackiness off!
hi, ur vid is sooo helpful!! i have a question, how do u prevent ur charms from sticking to whatever tray they’re on when they’re curing?
Very interesting. Thanks!
❤ so thankful for these! I am trying to get the motivation to start a business. Future goals, lol. I have a long way to go 😅
I love your videos!! They are so inspiring!
These sound so good, I love how honest you are ☺☺
I love these changes! Now you will have more time to create, with not a lot of pressure and enjoy more the process :3 and yeah... Etsy is a little bit (a lot) annoying with the fees :C And I heard that they are closing shops randomly even with payments on hold. I wish you the best of success!!! pd: Sorry for my broken english :c not my first language
Hi!
Wonderful idea, being able to make a blind bag of any shape opens up so many possibilities. Like imagine little dinosaurs in an egg-shaped bag. I don't know if dinosaurs are your thing, but I'm sure they would be cute in your style. 🦕😍
I knooooow! Think lil hearts or Christmas trees! Or pumpkins at Halloween! Have to keep working on them as I think they’re ADORABLE!!
This is so good, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺
Love this idea Chelsey ❤🎉 x
Wow what an amazing idea! The prototype looks so cute! Can't wait to see the finished results! <3
Me either!! It’s on my to do list straight after I get the some custom orders complete! Hopefully they won’t be as crinkly but we shallll see how they turn out!! I’ll keep the next vlog posted! 👀😍
They’re so cuteee!
What type of clay do you use?
fimo soft polymer clay x
OH MY GOSH I NEED ONE!!! 🥺🥺🥺💕💕💕
theyre so cute arent theyyyy
I hope you grow 😭
me tooooooo
I hope you grow 😭🙏
🎉🎉🎉
Hey you chelsey bowen account is gone have you deleted it for ever just wondering if need to keep the channel subscribed to
I haven’t decided yet! But it’s just private for now x
What is the name of that material its so fluffy
It’s just a short pile faux fur from a local haberdashery 🥹
Those sparkly eyes!!!!!
They’re the best arent they!!
Why would you not be monetized if you produce kids content? I don’t get it. Seems like everyone who produces content should be monetized.
because on UA-cam, you don’t get paid for just creating the content. You get money for the viewer watching an ad placed alongside your content. I think it’s completely fair if you’re aiming content at children, for them not to be subjected to targeted advertising. There’s other ways to make money, sponsors, merchandise etc.
This video is so helpful thank you 😊 what about sponsorships? Have u try to get sponsorships on your old channel?
I’ve done a few (5/6 out of around 1000 videos) which would be a viable way forward for me if I continued on for sure. They’ve paid well, it’s just been a personal preference up until now not to really do them
Omg I'm shocked! I have a similar youtube channel, I make cute diys, but it isn't for kids. I'm not monetised yet. Any advice to get a higher rpm, (when I'll be monetised)? 💖💖
I’ll let you know if I figure something out… I’ve spoken to UA-cam themselves and they say everything’s working just as it should but Im not giving up that easy as I will be making cute DIYs foreverrrrr 🤣
@@sugarshrimp thank you so much 💖💖
Wow
I love watching videos like this, don't know why, but this was extremely fascinating to see such low rpm number. Of all the videos I've watched I've never seen so few ad impressions or such a low RPM. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Hahah YOU are one of the exact type of people I had in mind.. I would find it fascinating too 🤣🤣
Do u use air dry clay?
Polymer clay
@@sugarshrimp okay,thanks!
Wishing you luck on your new journey! ❤
I think I need it 🤣🤣
Do you get paid when people with UA-cam premium watch your videos because we don't watch ads?
I just had a wee look and less than 1% of my income comes from premium. I don’t know how many views that equates too so would definitely be interesting to find out!! Love a good analytic 😍😍
@@sugarshrimp I'll keep watching every video so you can get some data! UA-cam better be sharing the premium revenue with the creators.
You’ve inspired me to get an overhead camera mount and try filming ❤
I learn new thing about 'make for kids' in UA-cam. Thank you for sharing your story 🎉
I’ve been a subscriber of yours for years now and have been watching since your squishy days and I really really love the transparency of how you’re feeling about your work, it’s really motivated to hear that I’m not alone as an aspiring artist🫶 you were also the main reason why I started my Etsy shop and UA-cam channel, so just know that your work really is affecting and inspiring people
well thats exactly my aim sooo im glad someones out there also in the same boat that has managed to find me!! i feel so wild out here in this position
I loved seeing this, it was a great video! I’ve always been very interested in this kind of stuff especially because I used to post videos (on this acc lol) and I was hoping to get monetized… as of now I haven’t posted in months and I kind of ran out of a desire to do so because of how much work I was putting in for hardly anything in return. You’re a big inspiration to me tho and I truly do love making videos so maybe I’ll get back into it, regardless of all of the numbers!
it's crazy how much you can put in and how little can come out sometimes... ive had bursts where theyve paid me well, not paid me hardly anything, its all just swings and roundabouts, i LOVE creating though i dont think i could ever give it up!!
This is so fascinating, thank you for your honesty ☺☺
Always wondered how you tubers / influencers got paid and what goes into it. Thank you for showing us 😁 xx
nooooo problem! hopefully it gave you some insight!!
I have been following you on all 3 of your channels. I love watching someone who also lives in cornwall and loves cute things xx
lool its so funny me forgetting i even have 3 channels most of the time!!
