Is there anything I didn’t cover?? Leave a comment and I’ll try to answer it ❤️ and do you guys want a video on how to start your apparel business for under $500? Let me know and I will make it for you guys!💗
The point about not telling family is really good. The moment my family found out I wanted to start a business they started in on me about how it would never work, and putting my work down. I got comments about how my cousins were better artists and whatnot. People came out of the woodwork to take a dump on my idea. Funny thing is when my cousin in question found out what was said to me, he pulled me aside and reminded me of a few things. First, don’t trust the opinions of people who couldn’t draw their way out of a paper bag to save their lives about art. Second, if they have never run business, they have no idea wtf they’re on about. Third, how someone else’s endeavor went in a different decade and context is not an indicator of how it will go for you. Fourth, he is a great artist because he studied, as talent will only get you so far and the rest is skill. Skill can be learned. It gave me the confidence to be able to push forward. And I am so glad I did.
BIGGEST TIP: Make a Business account for UPS it is free to do AND you can order FREE SHIPPING SUPPLIES!! It has been a game-changer!! I have enough free shipping labels for my thermal printer to last practically a lifetime lol They also have boxes, bubble mailers, etc. Of course, it won't have any brand identity but it is fantastic starting out while you work your way up to customizing your packaging behind the scenes.
@@107tatiana Let me see if I can find the video I used! I will link it in a separate comment with spaces added that you have to delete. RUclips marks links as spam now, unfortunately. Found it, and of course, YT deleted the link even though it wasn't a hyperlink so you'll have to type this in: How to Create the Correct UPS account to Get Free Thermal Shipping Labels by Eye for Profit
Before checking social media handle, you need to check with your state and nationally to see if your business name is taken and register it. It may not be taken on social media, but if someone has legal claimed it, you can't use it.
That is not entirely true but you do need to check the business name. If the name is already in use there are caveats to how you can use it in your state and/or nationally. If the name is trademarked, publicly traded or a nationally or internationally know name you cannot use its Legal business name or its DBA especially if you're in the same market. There is only one Panda Express but there are a lot of Asian Palaces. I found this out when I wanted to name my business Brooklyn Charm
This is partially why I decided to include my own name in my brand/business name. Edit: Also I heard that companies or rude ppl buy business names so that people who actually want to use them have to buy the name from them. 😕

Almost on my second year of business. In around 30 retailers at the moment. Breaking about 10k per month. Before this I worked a job I hated just to save money to do anything. Out of nowhere I found a passion and ran with it, now loving it more than anything. Take the risk, you only learn through failure, so why not risk failing? Have a wonderful life.
Do you mind me asking what you sell?, because I really want to sell stickers and stuff like that but the problem is that I’m not the best at art 🥲 I mean im 13 so I suppose I’m not in a rush but I would really like to be independent with my income and stuff like that
@ I sell tinctures to health stores and online. My advice is don’t start a business for the sake of starting a business, because it’s not easy. Start a business because you found something you genuinely enjoy. That being said, it doesn’t hurt to TRY something, even if it isn’t a passion, just to develop some soft skills business wise. You’re young as heck, so take it slow and spend time trying to find what you’re truly passionate about. Remember, business is hard, so you really need to enjoy it. Enjoy even failing, because you learn. Being so young, here are the skills I recommend you pick up first: - people skills, learn to communicate well - sales skills, learn to convey value in a natural way - design skills, this will save you money, but don’t design everything. Some things are best left to pros - self confidence. Try leave imposter syndrome at the door, be confidence in yourself and your product. Do what you need to do and believe in yourself and the process. That’s just some quick tips and advice, hope it helps.
Thank you for that keep the business secret tip, I always have to remind myself that, cause as much as I know my mom is harsh and can never be fully supportive, I always try to show her new stuff I am coming out with and she always makes me feel dumb or like it's not going to do good until it starts making sales then she'll jump on board. I'm learning to only talk to my husband as he is always 100% supportive. And hearing you say it makes me really understand that even your family can be your biggest hater
Definitely don't let naysayers crush your dreams but I would run certain decisions by a trusted person such as an accountant, attorney or financial planner or even relative or friend whose decisions you trust.
I do agree that maybe an account/financial planner/attorney can help with certain aspects but a trusted friend/ relative who isn’t a small business owner won’t know what they’re talking about. You don’t want to turn to someone for advice when they have no knowledge on the subject or what it takes to start a business. Just my personal advice! ❤️
@@noelicreates absolutely. Only those with some measure of experience, success and/or expertise. Cousin Junior who "just knows things" would not be my confidant. Lol. Something I realized with professionals is if they have big ads in tue yellow pages, on TV or on billboards, I pass. If they have to advertise, that may be a sign they don't have enough business from word of mouth recommendations and (to me) that's at least a yellow flag.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR AWESOME INSIGHT AND ADVICE... IT BROUGHT TEARS TOO MY EYES ABOUT LETTING OTHERS IN YOUR BUSINESS BY IDEAS AND CONVERSATIONS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED TOXIC FAMILY AND HOW STRANGERS ARE MORE HELPFUL THAN FAMILY. SO SORRY ABOUT ALL CAPS. I WAS SO EXCITED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO OF HELPFUL INSIGHT BY YOUR MIND AND YOUR SPIRIT, I JUST LEFT ALL CAPS ON. YOU ROCK!! THANK YOU!!!
Wow!!! You have inspired me with EVERYTHING you said and honestly I needed to hear all those inspiring words. I’m slowly starting my business with flowers but by all means I’m not a florets. I just love to create beautiful arrangements and makes peoples day on any special occasion. But that does make me nervous since I don’t know anything about flowers but you have inspired me to just keep going and “show up” and “be consistent”. Thank you!!!
I think everyone talks about setting up a business and ideas but what people need is assistance with helping the business become found, known and purchased from the most … marketing. Planned strategies with evidence it works.
🙏I am so grateful for the ending of this video.. 🌸 It touched some old scars...I once like you worked two and three jobs (I needed it)... and got sick ... I always loved crafting.. It has become my therapy 😌.. And now I feel much better and ready to do more with it! I Gracias for sharing. We ALL need positive energy!💚
I definitely understand where you are coming from! I've worked so many physical labor jobs that ran me into the ground physically and mentally. My last job made me have to go back to therapy and I was severely injured at it as well to the point where I'm still extremely limited even years later. Long story short I was made to move for various reasons and haven't been able to transition to a less strenuous physical job after moving. So I've been trying to start my own business. It will allow me to go at my own pace, and eventually be able to provide for myself again. I wish you all the good fortune with your own endeavors. And give you a giant interweb hug =^_^=💙
Thank you so much for posting this. It's very informative. What you said about friends, family, and the haters you've encountered I found out the hard way. You are very encouraging and inspiring. Thanks again!

You really are very motivational, im trying to start a candle business and because of you I bought the branded tape, I told my sister that i wanted to post it in the family chat we have but she said not too because she once did the same and my family was not supportive. It’s sad because you want to share with people and you think they will be the first to buy but its really strangers who uplift you and care about your business
I promise you, the internet will have your biggest supporters! I know exactly what if feels to be criticized by your own family, but you don’t need theirs or anyone else’s approval! Start that business I’m rooting for you !! 👏👏❤️❤️
I absolutely love your video! I dont ever leave comments but this video had me subscribe and leave a comment. I love how authentic you sound and how you really want to help people with great tips.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, I am a new startup beauty business and this will help me avoid some of the pitfalls others may have experienced because of lack of information, I appreciate you, blessings.

Ugh. The legal stuff. That’s what scares me the most. 😖 I need the most help with that. All the other issues I’ll have (i.e. consistency with time vs. family obligations) are all my own defect. 😂
You got this!! There is nothing wrong with starting slow, even setting aside 30 minutes to work or research will help you get that much closer to accomplishing your goal. My favorite gym trainer on the program I use always talks about just doing things 30 minutes at a time. Or even just 5 minutes worth will be more than you would have done if you sat and did nothing at all. I always randomly think about that while I'm standing around and I'll randomly start exercising too. Like when my food is cooking in the microwave I will just randomly start doing squats. Or if I'm made to stand up for things I'll just do calf raises XD

Thank you for your video. I just recently opened a store on Etsy. I have always been pursuing some type of business, I have done several home based business and even had a retail scrapbook store at one time. (Way too much overhead). Always trying to earn money towards my craft addiction. It’s hard because there are other people on Etsy selling very similar cards. But I appreciate your video and I will check out your other resources.
Thanks Noeli, I'm just starting off my own small business and I tend to overthink a lot and procrastinate, but one day, I just took the plunge and started and it was the happiest day of my life. Now I just have to keep it going. One of my biggest learning curve is how to price everything. I don't trust social media very much. I once had a Facebook page and I started receiving death threats. I reached out to Facebook, but they did nothing, so I deleted my account and I don't miss it one bit, so right now I'm doing business by word of mouth, but I will need to create a website soon. I also purchased a lot of things from Amazon and I am a diehard Cricut user. I have done research on where to get materials as affordable as I can.
Want to say thank you for your videos. I had started my business for my co-workers to order from me but seeing how you did your marketing on instagram and TikTok it motivated me and showed me that if I’m consistent, I could make it so I want to say thank you for giving me the motivation to launch my shop to the world.
I have already registered my online business but haven’t done anything to start my business. But watching these videos motivate me to keep going so I can officially open my business.✨ I’d say don’t rely on anyone when deciding if a product or design looks good. Research it all and have confidence in your product. Family and friends will be negative or be supportive but steer you away from what you’re passionate about selling. I recommend checking on how much the product you want to sell is making yearly, and see if you can find info on other companies selling the same thing and see how they are marketing, pricing, and how much they make off that product a yr. Do not copy them! Lol, just research to find a way to make your company more appealing.❤

Thank you so much Noeli, for sharing your knowledge and experience!! Your video is so helpful, inspiring and uplifting. You are doing such a fabulous work. Wishing you continued success and joy!
Wow you are the best! ❤Few more things Noeli, please let me know if these are already covered in other videos 😊 1) how do you film your content? (Equipment and setup and program to edit clips etc) 2) what magnets do you use for magnetic bookmarks ? 3) SHIPPING! How to start, set up and ship products like glass cans, apparel etc 4) Shopify vs Etsy etc? 5) What sublimation printer do you recommend for someone just starting? Thanks again, you are amazing! ❤❤❤

This video came up just in time for me. I just announced that I am going to start my own small art business because of how I have been feeling like I have no purpose and how I so desperately want to do something more impactful in my life. Thank you so much for this video as it was validation that I am headed in the right direction! Well, aside from telling my family already lol I probably should have waited, but they would have seen my video anyway... so far they have been very supportive. ^_^
And I forgot to tell you Noeli that the dad always said that she will failed .. and she cry 😢but I said to her .!well my baby you’re giving power to the negativity.. I’m here and I know as long I live I will see you with a great wonderful business because .. every salon she used to worked they telling her we want you back .. and that is because you do a great job .. I tell her .. she’s only 21 yrs old and she worked in many different jobs if you don’t mind ., Noeli with respect go and watch her videos of all the beautiful hair she had doned make she do and nails.. and she crochet her own clothes.. and I teach her all that to make sure that my daughter learned from positive person like you .. I shared your videos with all my daughter.. I have 4 daughter and one son ..if you want hear more from me I’ll tell you how I guide my children everyone have theirs professions .. be blessed and keep up the triumphs..🎉👏👏👏👏
This video was helpful…very encouraging and thanks for the heads up on what to do and not to do when starting a new business…I’m a person that gets scattered brained and overwhelmed quickly. Sometimes I have the best ideas and so many pours into my mind I literally dont know what to do first or how to go about it. So your video really helped me take a deep breath and think. Now I plan things out but get stuck when it comes to a decent budget
All of this is super helpful! Thank you! I do want to say, if your friends and family would negatively effect you running your own business it may be a good idea to re-evaluate those relationships and consider having a major heart to heart about how those people treat you and/or cutting those kinds of people out of your life. None of my friends or close family would EVER be negative about my work like you described and they wouldn't hesitate to help me with it on my terms only and respect that it's mine and not something they should interfere with? Like they would at most offer opinions when I ask them but that's it. Y'all need to cut people out of your life more if they can't support you and uplift you.
Truly speaking, I never felt inspired before as I am now. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again and again for your inspiring words. I just subscribed yesterday.❤
thank you so much for this video. I subscribed to your channel, I'm working on my home based business. I make many things and I need to organize my room according to what I make. I love how you have your office organized. I make cards, jewelry, sublimation, gift baskets etc except sewing LOL. thank you so much for all you do :)
Thank you for the video, I have watched many videos on this topic they have been a big help but in this video I understand more then any other video. 😊
I have been truly inspired by your videos and the information and way you present it is so helpful. I absolutely love the aesthetic of your products and is the one thing I’m struggling with figuring out for my own business. I like so many different designs and niches, I don’t know how to get that aesthetic with my business and my products. Do you have any advice on this? It’s been a huge struggle in this area for almost a year and I think that’s why I’m having difficulty getting off the ground. I feel all over the place! Any advice would be appreciated!
Hi Noeli I just wanted to say thank you for this video. About a year ago I came across your RUclips channel and I thought it was so awesome how you created videos and inspiring how you built your business. You motivated me to want to be my own boss. I went out and got a few machines but have yet to do anything with them. I opened up my RUclips and here you are again motivating me again 😊lol. I needed to hear this. Love your content keep it up ❤
Thank you so much! This video is helpful and such an inspiration. Also, how do you compensate yourself (labor)? How do you make computations or estimates to fairly pay yourself? 😊 Thanks!
Could you do a video with filming tips. I know there are so many out there, but i find it hard to find one based on a buisness like yours. Like your day in the life and pack a order. I find it hard on where to film from and different angels. Mine always look pants!
I sold my Brick and Mortar back in 2018. I miss it 😊 I can run a store no problem and know exactly what to do but for some reason nervous to start again from home
Can you cover shipping and how that works? I know how to do it but I'd be interested in seeing what shipping sites you use and when to use which packaging, etc
Is there anything I didn’t cover?? Leave a comment and I’ll try to answer it ❤️ and do you guys want a video on how to start your apparel business for under $500? Let me know and I will make it for you guys!💗
Yes please girl
Yes please❤
I have a small business
Yes please 😁

So true! I can relate, but the truth is, sometimes family and friends are just not your target audience, and that's ok.
Bro, stop saying that
It's fact💯
True
“Omgg so cute. I’ll take this and this.. I’ll pay you next week I swear” 😒😒😑 they can kiss my ssa with that ✋🏽
Thanks for all your teaching and mostly for your awesome example!!! 🎉❤❤❤
great video. Thank you. and good reminder on not letting people get to you when they doubt you.
Have you ever used the EchanMall app to purchase Chinese goods? I heard that this app is very popular and reliable now, and many people use it to purchase and transport Chinese goods to Nigeria
Ugh. The legal stuff. That’s what scares me the most. 😖 I need the most help with that. All the other issues I’ll have (i.e. consistency with time vs. family obligations) are all my own defect. 😂
You got this!! There is nothing wrong with starting slow, even setting aside 30 minutes to work or research will help you get that much closer to accomplishing your goal.
My favorite gym trainer on the program I use always talks about just doing things 30 minutes at a time. Or even just 5 minutes worth will be more than you would have done if you sat and did nothing at all. I always randomly think about that while I'm standing around and I'll randomly start exercising too. Like when my food is cooking in the microwave I will just randomly start doing squats. Or if I'm made to stand up for things I'll just do calf raises XD
@@deadsetondreams1988 Thank you for the motivation. 🥰
@@emschrader418 You are very welcome =^_^= 🤗
Thank you Noeli for all of this information on starting a small business.

I would love to see that T-shirt business video! 🤗 AMAZING TIPS ON THIS VIDEO 🫶🏾
the family and friends part is so very true!!! I don't tell anyone anything until its in stone. Thank you for the help.
Thank you noeli you've been always an inspiration to me through my small business journey wish you the best of luck ❤
Thank you for your video. I just recently opened a store on Etsy. I have always been pursuing some type of business, I have done several home based business and even had a retail scrapbook store at one time. (Way too much overhead). Always trying to earn money towards my craft addiction. It’s hard because there are other people on Etsy selling very similar cards. But I appreciate your video and I will check out your other resources.
Thanks Noeli, I'm just starting off my own small business and I tend to overthink a lot and procrastinate, but one day, I just took the plunge and started and it was the happiest day of my life. Now I just have to keep it going. One of my biggest learning curve is how to price everything. I don't trust social media very much. I once had a Facebook page and I started receiving death threats. I reached out to Facebook, but they did nothing, so I deleted my account and I don't miss it one bit, so right now I'm doing business by word of mouth, but I will need to create a website soon. I also purchased a lot of things from Amazon and I am a diehard Cricut user. I have done research on where to get materials as affordable as I can.
Thank you so much for sharing. This video is very helpful and informative. Especially the do's and don'ts, and worrying about haters.
Im 9 years old and this really helped with my self care business
Want to say thank you for your videos. I had started my business for my co-workers to order from me but seeing how you did your marketing on instagram and TikTok it motivated me and showed me that if I’m consistent, I could make it so I want to say thank you for giving me the motivation to launch my shop to the world.
I have already registered my online business but haven’t done anything to start my business. But watching these videos motivate me to keep going so I can officially open my business.✨ I’d say don’t rely on anyone when deciding if a product or design looks good. Research it all and have confidence in your product. Family and friends will be negative or be supportive but steer you away from what you’re passionate about selling. I recommend checking on how much the product you want to sell is making yearly, and see if you can find info on other companies selling the same thing and see how they are marketing, pricing, and how much they make off that product a yr. Do not copy them! Lol, just research to find a way to make your company more appealing.❤
A lot of work went into this video! Great job and thank you

This video came up just in time for me. I just announced that I am going to start my own small art business because of how I have been feeling like I have no purpose and how I so desperately want to do something more impactful in my life. Thank you so much for this video as it was validation that I am headed in the right direction! Well, aside from telling my family already lol I probably should have waited, but they would have seen my video anyway... so far they have been very supportive. ^_^
And I forgot to tell you Noeli that the dad always said that she will failed .. and she cry 😢but I said to her .!well my baby you’re giving power to the negativity.. I’m here and I know as long I live I will see you with a great wonderful business because .. every salon she used to worked they telling her we want you back .. and that is because you do a great job .. I tell her .. she’s only 21 yrs old and she worked in many different jobs if you don’t mind ., Noeli with respect go and watch her videos of all the beautiful hair she had doned make she do and nails.. and she crochet her own clothes.. and I teach her all that to make sure that my daughter learned from positive person like you .. I shared your videos with all my daughter.. I have 4 daughter and one son ..if you want hear more from me I’ll tell you how I guide my children everyone have theirs professions .. be blessed and keep up the triumphs..🎉👏👏👏👏
This video was helpful…very encouraging and thanks for the heads up on what to do and not to do when starting a new business…I’m a person that gets scattered brained and overwhelmed quickly. Sometimes I have the best ideas and so many pours into my mind I literally dont know what to do first or how to go about it. So your video really helped me take a deep breath and think. Now I plan things out but get stuck when it comes to a decent budget
I love this so much! So informative, very motivating and helpful! Thank you!
All of this is super helpful! Thank you!
I do want to say, if your friends and family would negatively effect you running your own business it may be a good idea to re-evaluate those relationships and consider having a major heart to heart about how those people treat you and/or cutting those kinds of people out of your life. None of my friends or close family would EVER be negative about my work like you described and they wouldn't hesitate to help me with it on my terms only and respect that it's mine and not something they should interfere with? Like they would at most offer opinions when I ask them but that's it. Y'all need to cut people out of your life more if they can't support you and uplift you.
Best tips I’ve watched so far! Thank you for the awesome content!!
Loved your video! I'm taking the leap of faith and God willing I too will be loving the job I do!❤

Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Looking forward to more tips and advice from you
I have been truly inspired by your videos and the information and way you present it is so helpful. I absolutely love the aesthetic of your products and is the one thing I’m struggling with figuring out for my own business. I like so many different designs and niches, I don’t know how to get that aesthetic with my business and my products. Do you have any advice on this? It’s been a huge struggle in this area for almost a year and I think that’s why I’m having difficulty getting off the ground. I feel all over the place! Any advice would be appreciated!
THANK YOU for the huge help, and well-organized information.
I swear the happiness I feel when *luxdups* uploads a video is beyond!!!!
Girl thank you for this video im thinking of starting small businesses because of you ❤
This was so helpful and the first not too boring video about how to start! lol. Very inspiring and informative!! Thank you!
Hi Noeli I just wanted to say thank you for this video. About a year ago I came across your RUclips channel and I thought it was so awesome how you created videos and inspiring how you built your business. You motivated me to want to be my own boss. I went out and got a few machines but have yet to do anything with them. I opened up my RUclips and here you are again motivating me again 😊lol. I needed to hear this. Love your content keep it up ❤
This was a great video. You do so much! How do you organize yourself? I think that's my biggest struggle is the organization!
Thank you for sharing. I’m starting my own solo business and you are an inspiration.
I really want to hug you for making this video... Best video so far ... Thankyou so much for your information.❤ God bless you
You are so great! I am so glad you followed your dreams and help others with theirs!😉😁❤️
Simply yet pack with useful detailed information. About to take the plunge in entrepreneurship. A bit nervous but excited.
Loved your video and all the tips Ive been hesitating to start my business and have a long way to go but your video encouraged me THANKS!
Thank you so much for this video! Love your channel! You inspired me to start my own RUclips channel🥰🥰
Thank you so much! This video is helpful and such an inspiration.
Also, how do you compensate yourself (labor)? How do you make computations or estimates to fairly pay yourself? 😊 Thanks!
Girl! Thank You so much 💓 🎉 this video has so many valuable information 😊💯 Thank You once again 🤗🎀
Yes for the T-Shirt video. Thank you ❤
Could you do a video with filming tips. I know there are so many out there, but i find it hard to find one based on a buisness like yours. Like your day in the life and pack a order. I find it hard on where to film from and different angels. Mine always look pants!
I really admire your work. I am also planning for my first Etsy online biz and I am learning a lot from you. Thank you. 😊 ❤
This was an amazing video answered so many questions that was roaming around in my head, thank you
Very insightful. Entertaining to watch . Great job on your business. ❤
You are awesome.
Great video and advice
Confirmation I needed.
I sold my Brick and Mortar back in 2018. I miss it 😊 I can run a store no problem and know exactly what to do but for some reason nervous to start again from home
Can you cover shipping and how that works? I know how to do it but I'd be interested in seeing what shipping sites you use and when to use which packaging, etc
Do you have a video of all the machines you currently have and what they all do? Would love to see that :)
