    GIRL let me just say how proud I am of you. I was your 48th sub and was here from the first video and you have blown up and scaled your UA-cam so fast. Your now about to be at 3,000 subs in around 3 months. Thats crazy! I wish you all the success in your future. I may only be 14 but I can see the amount of effort you put into this all. As a fellow crocheter crocheting is not the fastest all the time and scaling how much you make is so hard and repetitive sometimes.(and yes assembly is always the worst part) Your crochet flowers are amazing. I crochet plushies and because of your videos I soon want to make flowers too. Your a huge crochet inspo for me. I wish you the best of luck on your crochet business journey. Love you and your work and hope you keep doing what you love!

      Ahh thank you so much for being with me since 48!! I really appreciate it 🥰
      And I'm so glad to hear that!! Definitely try out flowers, they're so fun and a super different process compared to plushies!!

    Thanks for your video. It really helps with building confidence in pricing to hear others princing properly and still making sales... Imposter syndrome is such a struggle.

      It was one of my biggest struggles with markets starting out! Sometimes it's just not a busy market, or not the right crowd, but it's easy to think that the problem is your products or your pricing. Stick with it!!

    Usually just I'm just a lurker and don't really leave comments but I'm very thankful for sharing this with us. I appreciate your transparency and straightforwardness when answering all the questions. Just recently, I have been struggling to find what I want to do in the future (just graduated last year) as I did not enjoy what I majored during college. I have realized the I enjoy having a business of my own even if I don't make much. Although I do still need to find a full time job to make ends meet (as well as save so that I can invest more in my shop since, like you said, some markets can be so steep 😥). It would be great if I can find a work that's similarly flexible as yours 😫This video literally contains all all the questions I had for crochet market sellers and being a small business owner in general. Will keep supporting you! ❣Fighting!

      Ahh omg I'm glad I can be of some help!! I totally get that sometimes it's also just nice to see another person's perspective. It's different for everyone!! I hope that you can figure out a way to keep crocheting that works with your lifestyle/schedule and is financially sustainable - don't worry about rushing into it!!

    I saw your videos and it made me want to learn to crochet roses for myself... im struggling with tension 😂

    • @madewithapril
      @madewithapril  Рік тому

      Mine are always super tense hahaha I think it looks better a bit looser with roses because the rose looks more opened up!

      Hello! Thank you so much! Everything is included in the product cost, so that extra $0.50 to $1 or $2 that I add to each product is meant to cover vendor booth costs, display materials, packaging, gas, extra labour, basically anything that I pay for that isn't also the materials!

  • @hannagraceadug7503
    @hannagraceadug7503 Рік тому

    You're so amazing! How do you manage to create a lot of products for your market? I'm planning to do some market and am curious about how long it takes you to do it.

    • @madewithapril

      The one I specifically bought from is weirdly out of stock for 80% of the colors, but this looks like the same thing!
