Just wanted to let you know how valuable your RUclips videos are…I belong to too many FB jewelry groups (is there a support group for this?😂😂😂) Anyhow I’m a helper by nature…former teacher…. So many post in these groups…discouraged or lost in their jewelry business journeys. Each and every time I suggest they look you up on RUclips. I have no idea how many times I have done this…or that take me up on it. I just wanted to let you know you are not shouting out into the wilderness. What you share matters. 😉😊👏
That was really good!!! I wish this info was available in one spot when I first started out 4 years ago. I'd like to make a suggestion or two... If you are really new at making jewelry and plan to sell it - really concentrate on making GOOD jewelry. Use the best quality components + the best supplies you can afford to and the best techniques for whatever you are making, so your jewelry still looks nice after some wear. I see a lot of new jewelry makers with really wonky stuff - f.e. badly formed loops, connectors and jump rings that are not properly closed, or types of beads used in projects that will not survive the wear and tear of the item for a longer period of time. People will not return for more, if your jewelry breaks the first time they wear it, or rips and gets lost because you don't close your jump rings correctly. Same for ppl that use beautiful beads, but poor wire components that oxidize or tarnish right away. Another thing that I would put more emphasis on - if you plan to sell online - is to DO learn SEO for whatever marketplace or website you are selling on. This, along with quality pics and a good description can get you not only found, it gets your clicks converted from a visitor to a buyer! If people can't find you - they cannot buy your items!!!
Incredible video, thank you so much! I've reached the one year point in my business and have realized a LOT of things that need to change. This video came at just the right time to help me get reorganized. I've been overwhelmed at my long list of things I feel need to be done, and I want to do them all at once. This is a really great way to help me prioritize my list. THANK YOU!!
Brilliant content and presentaion Megan, as sual ❤ I will print your chart in color and will probably use it for years to come 😅 I felt a bit puzzled with the split of ”self development” and “making skills” because I thought I would have included the latter in the first category 😁 but I do like to keep them appart as I see your point in doing that. Overall, I learnt a lot today with you. Beyond grateful 🦄❤✨
Very helpful. I so appreciate you sharing this info very eye opening, This is not a new thought to me put your video has clarified nd validated my thought. Im 68 yrs old. Spent 45 years in the medial field as a nurse. A year and a half ago I nearly died from heart issue. I know it takes years to get to where I want to be and i dont have years. BUT it doesnt mean I have to stay where im at.I do need to re-evaluate my goals though, Thank you so much BTW I love your jewelery and videos. Please clarify SEO
I just started my business and I never made a loan for the set up of my business, I bought all the equipment, tools, etc. that I need to do my work. I register the business. I haven’t sell any product yet because is a lot to learnt and do, with a pinch of procrastination. Question, When I started to sell I going to declare my expenses and pay taxes. I have to separate this money for my personal income? 😊
Great question! It is always a good idea to separate your business and personal finances in separate bank accounts to keep everything crystal clear ~ however when you’re just starting out this isn’t always possible, which is where keeping sharp track of receipts and purchases will be best😊
As an aspiring jeweler, I love your videos. So helpful, so open, so inspiring. Gratitude ❤

Loved this ranking system! Super clear.
Glad you enjoyed!
Helpful! Yes. The “A” row is probably my weakest areas!
Good to know that then. Hopefully you can work towards getting some kind of help with those tasks then when you are ready
