Yep I agree with everything you've said.

Nice! Pick you up some transfer tape. It's kind of like masking tape, but you can get in different size rolls. Would work way better than 2 in.

Great advice and great videos.

100% True! It really takes quite awhile to get up and running. I'm a year in and just starting to get to where people are hearing about me and requesting service. Now that I am starting to make a living doing this is where I am now starting to think about etsy because I know it will take a long minute to have that gain traction.

Laser bandit with another banger!!

People legit go online to fight for crumbs when they have a whole loaf of bread less than 20 miles away from them, guaranteed.

Another great vid, bro! I tell people all the time, grassroots marketing is key for us small business owners! I pick other small, local companies and swing by with a $7 Amazon tumbler, a couple slate coasters and maybe a few of my SS credit card bottle openers with their logo on it. I’m out maybe $12 but they have something tangible to remind them of my visit and several examples of my quality of work. Visiting and using their business if possible is a good way to make sure you’re a familiar face and they’ll recognize you in the future.

Great video. I have learned this lesson the hard way, I have had a laser for a couple years now, watched tons of videos, follow numerous people for inspiration but have to tell myself daily "Don't click the button and buy the How to Class". I also have spent quite a bit of money on products over the last few years lol. BUT.... I have made most of my money local, local markets and thru my local fb page.

Good video and excellent advice. You come across sincere and real, like what we see from you is the real you and this video just affirms it. Keep up the good work.

Think I need to go to sellsman school first, because I keep giving my stuff away, all my buddies think I got all my equipment for a hobby, even my lady asking everyday to do something for her Coworkers.. lol.. Wats up with that!! Thanks for yr video Big Dawg..

Another great video sir, thank you for your time and expertise!! 100% agree with you!

I agree. Ive called you several times and talked to you and told you about the shyt. Ive lost and how much money ive spent I have even set up at the flea market and got no where. Which yes the flea market is very slow for some reason right now all the venders also said so. I agree people lie all the time i fell for the lies

Well said, I am a subscriber now.

Well said 👏

The other thing about Etsy....if you're selling physical items on Etsy for $5 or $10 you have to sell a lot to make a profit. Between Etsy fees, shipping and your labor cost, you're not making much profit with that product. Some things are really fun to make and are beautiful products but that doesn't always translate to sales. I found a very niche market and I sell those items mostly via my business Facebook page. That grew my page and gave me a lot of repeat customers. I have another very niche product that is expensive and sells like crazy on Etsy. It doesn't do well anywhere else besides Etsy. No your products, where the customers are for that product and market appropriately to sell that product. Great video, you're not misleading your viewers like some other creators are.

Spot on! I make tshirts and don't buy a bunch of shirts either. I order as I receive an order. I have three top sellers and make all my profit from them. Anything else I make is from left over wood/acrylic and the smaller items are all profit. =)

Yep totally 100% agree. I have seen many video titles saying I made thousands of $$ doing this. The old saying "If its to good to be true, It probably is" I acutally make money, Not huge amounts. but I do local and go to craft fairs. If I do see something that could be in my stock I will do a small run 1 or 2 if they sell good I will make more if not, something new will take its place. Enjoy you videos :-)

agree 100%. Too many people think there is a quick rich scheme. Networking- Clubs, Religious organizations and businesses always need something to be engraved. Again, network, network, network... Or create something that is new.

good stuff, keep going, you're getting there with your subs, took me a while to get monetized on you tube, let alone make any money, it all takes time, as Warren Buffet says, people don't want to get rich slowly, short of winning the lottery, its the only way. All the best, Cliff

Excellent advice . we are super small mom and pop operation with hopes of making this our full time gig

I 100% agree with you! I've gotten most of my 'jobs' by word of mouth and I buy stock when a customer wants an item that will pay for that stock. I always let them know that it'll take x amount of time to get the stock and I'll have their product x amount of days after that. One other thing I think people should learn, and I learned the hard way, is to say no. If you can't do a job then say no. I was bullied by a customer to take a job that I didn't think I was able to complete. After months of back and forth I had to go back to them and say that I couldn't do it. That's never a good feeling and the same word of mouth that can get you jobs can now hurt your reputation and make it harder to get the jobs.

Another great video! Integrity seems to be rare these days. Thank you Marine for tellin it like it is! 🇺🇲

I always assume that if a youtuber talks about their successful Etsy product, it's because that success happened in the past and that most of that success has now ended. So IF they truly had a successful product, they made money from it while they could, and now that it's no longer successful they make a video to make extra cash as they no longer have to worry about competition for their "successful" product.

One thing a person can do is buy a small quantity of an item, and list you only have X in stock. Prevents you from getting more orders than you have stock, and then you are rushing to buy more stock to complete your orders. Btw...nice Frostmourne tattoo. For the Alliance.

Great advice thank you!!

I am more than middle age mom and just bought a $15000 laser. 😂 that sounded shitty.

Hell yeah, man! That turned out really well! Good to see your sub count is getting up there. Almost to a thousand!

Everything will be 2 dollars now that everyone is buying lasers. And RUclips making it look easy flashing money and trying to get subs is killing it.....Its saturated.

Try Faire for supplies.

Awesome!! keep pushing, Good honest information you put down, Sir

801 Now Friend 👍👍

Semper Fi brother. Great video

When spraying, you should sweep back and forth, and overlap the previous spray by about 25%. Start off the item itself and move in a consistent speed, as to not over/under spray

Starting my engraving side hustle this month thank you so much clean cut to the point on prices thank you

Now take the $2000 and subtract materials, gas, electric, rent, etc

You jabbing the lib is what made me sub. Very nice

I love your video, and thank you for your time! I'm starting my own engraving services, and your video is very helpful! Thank you for your service for our country! I'll keep looking for your videos!

Steel Rain bro. Love seeing another 41 find success

Nice!! Curious what paint you are using. I’ve done a few paint projects but use a spray paint. No brushes. Again look the table and thank you for sharing.

Nice table!

Just curious on how much your rent and utilities are. I’m on the fence about getting a storefront

Outstanding!!

That came out awesome. I like the acrylic with the wood. Question what kind of paint was that. Seemed like you were able to easily take it off where you didn’t want it with that spray

they make 12" wide painters tape. That will make the prep process a little easier.

Great work and looking forward to your next project.

is the plate stainless or aluminum?

I’m really excited to be able to learn from you as your business grows!

That is absolutely superb. Enjoy your videos, keep going, appreciate you my friend.

Badass table man , awesome channel

Absolutely sick..... great work sir!!!
