You did such a phenomenal job with the editing and how engaging you are! Tysm for creating this, you’ve been an enormous help to me in starting my tiny shop!
It's funny because I thought colors and photos wouldn't be a problem for me because I'm a photographer. But portrait photography and product photography is something different! :-D Thanks for your videos, I love them!
Hi Basia, could you recommend a good place to source branded packaging? I've been following you for a year now and you've been so helpful and inspirational on starting my own jewellery adventure. Thank you so much for all the lovely content you give us 🥰
Im wanting to start a book but im wanting something to go along side that. Like making bookmarks (thinking leather or wire) and jewelry to go along with it.. this is really motivating me to try it
Thanks for the vid! Also loved the cutting style and the switching locations. Well done Basia 😊👍. So hard to get the business running. Jewelry making itself takes so much time and I feel I get kind of lost by all the things you have to do 🤯. How long would you say did it take you from learning silversmithing to get a solid money incoming?
Branding may seem difficult, but it really doesn't have to be. I'm sure you'll be able to create something amazing, that reflects your work and the feeling you want your brand to have. Make a list with simple points and steps you need to take. In the beginning consistent fonts, colours and a simple logo is a perfect place to start! I hope Tailor Brands platform will be helpful! Good luck 🌺
It’s been an inspiration for me (your videos), I took silversmith courses, made jewellery and got stuck with marketing issues and stoped for some time ☺😩 Can you give me some ideas how to make videos and what programs to use to make videos interesting to watch too? 😃
Oh I totally get you! Sometimes it can be a real obstacle when we run into a stage that's a bit more difficult for us and it can pause the whole thing altogether. I hope that you'll be able to pick it up and continue working! :) I love UA-cam as a main resoirce with lots of videos about how to make videos, how to vlog, how to create tutorials etc. I like to watch UA-camrs like Devin Supertramp or Peter McKinnon and learn cinematograpfy from them. I use Adobre Premiere Pro to edit my videos
As always Basia, you’re so generous with tips and friendly advice. I love your silly sense of humour that comes across, so sweet 🥰 I’m excited about this video, it’s so informative and I can’t wait to start checking out all the videos you mentioned and get searching for ideas. I appreciate you so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️
That's wonderful to hear, thank you! I'm really happy you enjoyed the video 🥰 I recently realised that I could just be myself completely and see where this takes me haha :)) More videos like this will be coming out in the near future, as I want to share more insights when it comes to starting a small brand, selling, creating packaging, finding inspiration and other aspects of a creative business. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day! 🥰
Thank you so much for the info, it was super useful! I would like to know more about decision-making, I already did most of the branding, and I have an Etsy store where I put some copper products! I'm ready to step up and start working with silver but I'm afraid to spend money on making pieces that I'm not sure if they are going to sell...
I am soon to retire and have been holding off any grand opening until the pandemic is over and I am retired, so that i can focus 100% on the business. I am glad that I have because I am finding I still have things to do.I do not have to rush into things....
oh absolutely! No need to rush things, there is enough time for you to focus on this and enjoy the process! To have fun 😊 Before any grand opening you can gather info, brainstorm ideas and search for inspiration. Don't put pressure on yourself and don't stress over it, make sure it's an enjoyable process :) Good luck!
Thank you so much for all of the great tips! I particularly loved the tips regarding social media. I'm really shy and haven't been brave enough to put myself out there yet. Your tips gave me some guidance and make me feel more confident with moving forward. I am excited to checkout Tailor Brands too! 😊
I totally understand you. I was just like this in the beginning, so you can see that it's something that can be practiced and learned :) It'll gets easier with each go. I hope you will give it a try, as I'm sure you will be very happy with the results ❤️ You got this! Glad my video was helpful, thank you so much for watching ❤️
Thank you for this video. I needed that. It's now 1 am, but tomorrow I will opening accounts. I have tons of jewelry that I can sell. But I never do. So it made me have the courage to start... thanks for your tips...
That's great! You should totally give this a go, don't keep your work in the drawers 😊It's worth trying and exploring and I'm sure you can do it! Good luck 😍
How would you go about making jewelry that was made btwn the 12-17 century like the ones that the Raja's all before the catriers etc, the " other, more extabr.
^^... Hello dear... I just start to watch your clip.... and thank you for sharing "how to start...." i love to make a jewelry for my selft... so i start to selling also... i will start to re-check that what i missing... and make my hoppy to my new work.... . >
OMG! How to suck the sunshine out of your life! Huh Lady? 👍😍🙏✝️😂 I agree. But the Public Relations, Ads, Social Media Connections could all be outsourced. For tour own sanity? And NEVER read the comment sections. Definitely let a professional team handle those! Everything written today can show up in a court room as evidence. I love your tenacity! We should have seminars on you! 😍👍👍👍👍
I am at the stage where I try to make it without taking orders and commissions that are not relevant to my personal style and offer ready made pieces that I can be proud of. But my marketing strategies are clearly not working. Good job on this video, I enjoyed it a lot)))
This is a great way! It's actually the one I opted for. I only do limited commissions, usually for regular customers. I prefer making jewellery at my own pace and when I feel the flow. And then offering ready made pieces that I made in a specific theme of for a specific occasion. Marketing is very important, worth revisiting and updating the info we have on it. It's what brings our work in front of our potential customers! How can people know they want your pieces if they haven't seen them, right? 😀 Good luck! I'm sure you'll be able to find good strategies for yourself. And I'm very happy you enjoyed the video! Thank you 😍
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing it's a shame most of the fares and festivals get cancelled these times - nothing is better for buying jewellery then being able to see the beauty of it life! I guess we just have to adapt to full on online strategies ✨
that's so true! It's a shame... Some jewellers still have their jewellery in little shops, but sometimes it's way too far away, too. Can't escape the online world, I think it's worth exploring ❤️
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Thank you for being so generous with your time and all the information you give us. You have one of the best channels out there. 😘
Hiya Lady Stardust, another wonderful video, full of fun and caprice, like you. I've just started being in contact with a local young man who knows how to do all this. I'm lost with social media and need all the help I can get so decided to take some advice and use a personal recommendation for someone who has proven themself, and sees where it goes. If I have problems I'll take your advice and try Tailor Brands. Thank you for the recommendation it's hard when you know nothing. Stay safe, Steve...
Hi Steve! I'm happy you enjoyed the video! :) Thank you for wathing, as awlays! 🥰 I'm glad you decided to give this man a chance, I hope you will be happy with the help he provides! Good luck, I'm sure you'll find it much easier to do once you learn more about it. Thank you so much Steve! Stay safe xx
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithingBasia why can I not see a till? That is a short name for a cash register. You've got your chair, why not the bench yet? Steve xx...
@@stephencoster9532 I'm hoping to finally have the cash register tomorrow! :) Not long now hahaha As for the bench, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring it to the current studio :( It'll have to wait for the next space. I miss it a lot!
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithinghow sad, I feel for you. But great news about the cash register, does that mean you can trade then? If so wonderful news. Always good to obey all the rules and trade for real, it's why I registered at Hall Marking. Did you see Megan has the same Ikea legs as you did under her two-person bench? Steve xx...
I own my own jewelry store And also miscellaneous items of old things. It's owned by me and my fiancee Reaper's and Rolyat shop of jewelry and miscellaneous items
