Thank you for including the cost of your time. I see so many flippers who only include the price of their materials in their profit margin and never consider the cost of their time. I appreciate all your tips here.
Just found this and WOW WOW WOW!!!!! Thank you for being so transparent and sharing the details of selling the items. I have been refinishing my own items for years and just recently launched my own small business and working to do it full time. I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate the transparency and helpful tips in this video. Thank you for everything and helping other small business owners!!
Thank you so much for all your help on starting a business with flipping furniture and selling it. Between your youtube channel and Salvaged by K. Scott channel I now feel I have the two best teachers and women to inspire me and give me the feeling that I can do this and have fun too :). Thank you above and beyond! 💞🙌
Thank you Christina for the great tips! I buy a lot of furniture to refinish on FBM and it amazes me how so many sellers don’t even put measurements in description! To me it’s maddening😉...like first thing I say ...measurements? Interesting that you suggest super detailed descriptions ( I happen to agree with you!) I have heard others say...nobody cares what all you did to piece etc....glad to hear you say...do that! Love all your videos...definitely interested in seeing more like this...your experience is valuable! Thank you for sharing😊k
I absolutely loved this video. It was so informative. The information you provided is invaluable to a beginner like me. Your willingness to freely give us these much needed gems is amazing. Thank you so much, you are sincerely appreciated!!
You are seriously the best!! I have a few more pieces of my own to paint until I’m ready to take the leap into selling! This just made me 10 times more excited🥰
Great video! I just sold my first piece and I’m excited to try it again. It was just something I did for myself and didn’t need anymore and I got so many messages I was shocked! I love doing this and making money from it would be a dream! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise. You’ve got me excited!
Amazing Video and info, Thank you for sharing! Would love more business type videos & how much to charge clients and invoice them. So Inspired by you :)
@Annalises Pieces where is the template at? I have been looking for it ever since she announced it and I STILL CANT FIND IT. this us the first I've heard though of her website. Sooo frustrating.
Hi Christina. Very good information, thank you. I’m just starting to learn how to paint..,,I’m taking my time. You and Kacha are my favorite’s, love you work....awesome!!
Wow! This helps a lot. I recently sold my first piece on FB Marketplace. I like how you broke down the expenses. I would love to hear a vlog on how you obtain and charge your clients. Thank you kindly for sharing your valuable experience!
Thank you for this informative video. I’m pretty new at repurposing/upcycling furniture. I have used OfferUp and FB market Place mostly for my sales. I have noticed for my state, CO, the farmhouse, country farm house, done in white or gray distressed, seems to sell the quickest. I really like trying to do different colors, with maybe stencils and transfers, but I feel the labor that goes into these pieces, warrants another sales site like maybe Etsy to sell. Customers just don’t seem to want to pay the price here. I would love you to do a video on doing commissioned pieces, as I’ve thought about that. I believe one has to have a lot of confidence in their work to take that on however, a bit scary if you mess it up, especially if it’s a loved piece from their home they’ve brought to you. Love your videos and work. Thanks again
Yes! Thanks for this informative post. I have painted furniture for myself and a couple of friends but didn't have a clue how much to charge. Hope you do more of these kind of videos! My biggest issue is moving the pieces. Im 67 yrs old and live alone, so my furniture dolly is my best friend 😍
Thank you so so much for sharing this information. You and kacha were my Kick starters. I have sold my first pieces on Facebook marketplace and while it can be tricky. It makes me happy to see people like what they have purchase from you. Thank you for sharing your talent with us
Hi - Thank you so much for this video. I have just retired and starting to paint furniture, not for massive profit but for pleasure, as long as I get my money back! Loved this video (and all you others too)! I will love you to share other tips for selling and working out profit etc. Thank you and keep up the good work, you made me feel good about my pieces and not to give them away !
YES! These type of how to market your stuff videos are very much needed & appreciated. I'd like to know how much is too much to spend on a piece to be able to reasonably sell at a profit? Best places you have found/bought your furniture? What kind of pieces sell best? I'm sure I have a dozen more questions that I'll think of later..... Thanks again for your help.
Thank you so much, I am new in this and you are the second person who take the time to do this to help us, I appreciate you. And thank you so much for responding back the messages here.
This was SO helpful! As I've been watching your videos and getting motivated to do the same, I've been wondering how the business side works. Great video!
That was the EXACT video from the EXACT right person ..very informative and inspiring ..I am on my way into this as we speak and your videos will be a great value to me ..I appreciate this thanx girl 🤘🌟
You are wonderful and so helpful. You come across as such a sincere and warm person, certainly a winning personality. But $275. for that beautiful hutch!!!!! What a crazy low price. Scary that it had to go for so little. I'm just starting painting furniture with the intent of adding income. Who knows who has the money right now to buy hand painted designer furniture given so many are out of work and many are worried about the economy..... Me too. Thanks for you help and your encouragement, this was a great intro to how to get started.
I got that hutch for free and with the pandemic I sold it very low. I probably could have got $375, but wanted to turn it over quickly to get it out of my house.
Great video Christina! Even though I've had my furniture painting business for 9 years, I still learned something new! I would love a video on photography, creating videos, or anything to do with social media. I'm always trying to juggle the business stuff when I would much rather be painting!
Christina I love your video about how to price your furniture. Can you give a person just starting out with little knowledge about decor can you give me an idea of where to go to learn how to match colors and create pieces that people will like? Thanks
This video is packed full of so much helpful information! I love your plan for pricing your pieces. Thanks so much for sharing! I am interested in any of the business related info you want to share!
Thank you for the video. My wife and I are playing with the idea of doing a little side business. Our problem is we always give everything away dirt cheap.
Thank you so much for sharing such practical information! I just had a question regarding the spreadsheet, how did you calculate the cost of materials like the wax per piece? Do you measure how much you use of each thing? I'm definitely interested in learning about custom quotes and anything related to strategies to grow social media audience and overall the business. I'm just starting and would like to get a better understanding of how the industry works. Thanks again. I'm looking forward to your next video! :)
I just estimate how much paint and wax I use based on how much of the can is gone. You can find out cost per ounce by dividing the total cost of your can by the number of ounces. (Cost of can/number of ounces)
Thank you so much for both videos, they were very helpful! I love your channel. You and Katie inspired me to start furniture painting. What's the best way to estimate how long it will take to paint furniture, is it according to size? Thanks again and keep up the great content!!!
Good content, and I instantly smiles when I saw the name of the channel - really cute. It made me think of my old, retired channel name - if you have food or drink in your mouth, swallow first. I was learning to play the saxophone and I didn't play it very well, so I named the channel Saxual Problems. If I didn't play well enough to entertain people, I could at least give them a chuckle!
Christian, I love the video, I would like to see some more of this type. Also, I enjoy your relaxed comfortable personality. Keep it up. Thanks, Robin, Daniels wife
This is a great video, full of honest and applicable info. Thanks for sharing would love to see more as I'm just starting to thin down in order to paint more.👩🏻🎨💕🎨🐨🇦🇺
So much valuable info THANK YOU FOR SHARING, we newbies don't have a clue other than design. I didn't really think to add up what I had into it, just what I paid and what can I get for it. Going forward I'll keep better track so my hobby makes enough money to be at least self solvent. Thanks again Christina - you are pretty and articulate may be you could branch out and do some local commercials (though I have no clue how one would do that), just a thought.
Hi Christina, love love love this informative video. I am new to this & so excited to learn all about the furniture painting business and selling. I would love more tips on starting out. Thanks for inspiring me. I'm nervous but excited to start this new venture.
Hello mates please do not be deceived by this fake people out there.I got scam twice before now,as a beginner it’s not really easy to know the right broker,until I met this man in the store 🏬 when he was talking to a student I head him talking about forex which got my attention to him,I told him my story and he asked me if I’m still interested again which I told him yes. and he started helping me,now at least I am not the best but I am really making a huge profit as I invest,if you are interested please contact him now. he is very honest and trustworthy,contact him now at (elvishercules48@gmail.com)Stay safe all of you
