Thank you. I love that your content is not a sale pitch and based on genuine personal experience. I found it very helpful as I'm about to start up a small business on Instagram.
Thank so much for a very simple and comprehensive video. This is the first one tha really helped me understand the way to go on Instagram. I am just starting ( even though I am not that youang) and I feel so overwhelmed. I watched so many videos with people talking so fast and wthout really addressing beginners. I have subscribed obviously. Thank you again.
I'm just starting out ( woodwork ) and really bad with technology, but just wanted to say you are very to understand, so well done. I've subscribed.....thanks 👍
Thank you so much - that was very helpful. I already have an eBay business and sell at our local flea market during the season, and have been wanting to start selling on Instagram, but didn’t know where to start. Thank for demystifying the process for me.
I did spend a lot of money in the investment at the start of my business and failed when I actually thought of looking up on UA-cam if it is possible to start without a website and that is when I landed up to the video. This video is very helpful, thorough and informative. Keep up the good work, Samantha! ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I have watched a lot of how to instagram videos, this is by far the most informative for a beginner that I’ve come across.
Excellent video!!! So much wonderful tips and you are explaining it all very well and clearly. You might not believe it, but I did make notes to a pad from your video! 😅 It was SO GOOD! I did not want to miss any of the good tips. And you are super lovely and sweet! You are not talking too fast at all! Just perfect speed for sharing much information! I hope that you do more videos as you are very good at this! ❤
Thank you very much for your video and share all the information, I was looking all day for videos with a similar content and finally I found a really great video! You are very clear and I learned a lot from you. God bless you ❤
I have a question. What do you think about creating the instagram page and working on it before you start selling. I feel like the algorithm will be slower to send your stuff out if you aren't posting for sells yet, and your page is not really ready. Do you suggest starting the page right when you are ready to sell or should you start earlier and work on it for a little while to get the pics, highlights, profile good meanwhile you may be compromising the algorithm?
I can’t speak from experience but I think your logic makes perfect sense! Making it ahead of time absolutely couldn’t hurt! Having it all ready to go would be such a great idea :) getting your highlights, bio and profile pic and maybe an introductory post up before following anyone / posting your products would be my advice. You don’t want to post too much without an audience though so I wouldn’t make it tooo far in advance
Hi Samantha, this is a great video. Very informative. My question is, if you could only have one app to receive payment for your products, which one would you choose?Thank you.
Super helpful info, thank you! One question - you mentioned posting a pic of packaged orders before mailing them out and showed an example of you holding a bunch of envelopes...are you able to send out envelopes like that with tracking?
Glad it was helpful! When I used those envelopes I used Etsy tracking, I quickly realized etsys tracking is super unreliable so now I only use bubble & rigid mailers and use pirateship.com to print my shipping labels with tracking and insurance
Hello, I'm planning to start a small business and begin selling on instagram and I found your video to be super helpful. But there is still something I’ve been confused about and haven’t found a clear answer for and that is how should I accept payments on Paypal. If I were to begin with, a personal paypal account should I tell my customers to send me the payment using friends and family or goods and services. I don't know which is better considering PayPal can freeze your account or whether I should start with a business account right off the bat. All of this has been so confusing and would appreciate some clarity. Thank you.
When I did it, I just sent a paypal invoice using their email (the form will tell you what other info you need, sorry, I can't remember at the moment ) And all they had to do was pay it (without having to choose if it's for friend and family or goods and services) I hope that makes sense and is at least slightly helpful 😄
I started my business only a couple years out of highschool so I posted on my personal accounts about my business and had a lot of support from family and friends. Then word of mouth really helped me grow from there. Later on giveaways became a good way to get new eyes on my business & posting on a lot of different platforms- Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, UA-cam. If you can’t seem to gain followers I’d recommend offering a $5 gift card to your business for anyone who shares your insta page on their page or refers a friend, something like that. That’s what’s worked for me & a lot of my friends do markets to gain followers and traction from their community
Thank you for a great video! Quick question, why did you move from selling on Instagram to Etsy and Shopify? I am on Etsy and I want to get out of Etsy and just sell on my own thru instagram. Adding this: I’m not a big business. Super super small business.
I have a couple videos about Etsy and Shopify on my channel to explain more why I switched! I honestly just didn’t like having to go through messages for orders, it was too time consuming
Very good info. I am learning brand new. I want to build my website and put my domain on instagram. Can I set up instragram on my pc? Is there a charge for the Creative account? I have a personal account that I have not used too much.
Thank you. I love that your content is not a sale pitch and based on genuine personal experience. I found it very helpful as I'm about to start up a small business on Instagram.
Thank you so much! That means a lot 💕
@@stickersxsamanthaWhat software do you use to design your highlights?
Canva . Com
I love the way you explain everything,easy to understand very very clear for someone like me that has an accent ❤
Quality content! I loved your point about the differences between creator and business accounts
I’m so glad you found it helpful!!

I personally like Venmo best!
Excellent info. Will do the same

Just be honest, chose the good/service option
i have playstation one console, the small ones
How do you get the spacing on the bio ?? I tried to space it out but used all the characters
Honestly that’s super tricky, you just gotta keep rewording, seeing what you can take out. It doesn’t need to be full sentences
If you start from scratch how do you get followers?
I started my business only a couple years out of highschool so I posted on my personal accounts about my business and had a lot of support from family and friends. Then word of mouth really helped me grow from there. Later on giveaways became a good way to get new eyes on my business & posting on a lot of different platforms- Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, UA-cam.

4k followers wali I'd sell karni hai kisi ko chahiye
thank you so much samantha this is very helpfull ; what do you think about what i am posting too on my channel , i wish see your pov
I think your videos are really nice! Do you make them yourself?
@@stickersxsamantha yes i do , its my pleasure so happy to hear that from you thanks for your positivity
@@rudymaster1that’s amazing! You’re very talented! Keep going ❤

@@stickersxsamantha thank you! Currently what do you use to sell?
Just Etsy! I closed my Shopify a couple months ago :)
@@stickersxsamantha thank you!
Very good info. I am learning brand new. I want to build my website and put my domain on instagram. Can I set up instragram on my pc? Is there a charge for the Creative account? I have a personal account that I have not used too much.
All of the different account types are free! And yes you can set it up on your computer
OK I did as you said but no one's visiting my shop. How to attract new customers to my shop on instagram?
I will be making a video soon about more engagement on Instagram, but make sure you’re using hashtags and reels
This girl is freaking pretty dude 😳
Thank you so much for all this valuable information. It was definitely very helpful.
Thank you
