I really like how you have this set up. I would love to learn how to do this basic start. Not sure if it would work 100% but it would definitely be an action step more than have now. I have a desire and a vision. Now to make it happen.
Thanks Mei. Being a soap maker as well as a concrete candle maker I’m excited to fit in multiple categories on your list! Gonna be a great year for all of us 💪
Thank you Mei!! I’m a retired disabled vet and am looking for ways to thrive in retirement and this is so helpful. I am please to report I have been actively working on 5/10 things you stated! Keep up the GREATNESS ⭐️
That's really great!! Don't forget to keep things cohesive in your shop. If they have different ideal customers, you'll want to keep them separate. Good luck! You got this!! ❤️
Thanks so much for this informative vid. I'm a handmade jewellery maker. One of the reasons I have steered away from polymer clay is I found it not to rank high up on the 'planet friendly' materials list (correct me of I'm wrong). I'm trying to be a more earth-friendly maker, one step at a time

Hello, Mei! I always love your shares. However, is it possible for you to add the names/links for the Resin and Clay Companies in this video? Also, I’ve some important questions to ask you. Would you please answer, as best as you’re able to? Which is best for An Entrepreneur / A Small Business; LLC, Corporation(C-Corp) and a LLC with S-Corp Election? & What is a LLC's benefits and uses? What is a Corporation(C-Corp's) benefits and uses? What is a LLC with S-Corp Election's benefits and uses?

Is your website for free or what I have a sewing machine but I don't know what can I do with it because I don't have fabric or know where to sell and what can I sew please help me I live in rural areas
Hi! I use Shopify for my website. It's not free but it's really worth it if you're considering on having your own website. In terms of sewing, if you're looking into starting a clothing business, my blog post here can be helpful for you: www.creativehiveco.com/5-steps-to-start-a-handmade-clothing-business-in-2020/ Good luck! You got this! ❤️ If you have any questions, feel free to also send me an email at mei@creativehiveco.com.
My theme/niche is repurposing fabrics and yarn ... tho I have an inventory of microwaveable heating pads, bags and ornaments, I could look into knitting or crocheting other things.
Hi Ellen! I really love that you're eliminating waste by repurposing fabrics and yarn! I would suggest to make your product line cohesive. It can be in terms of design/theme/niche/style/etc. Good luck with your business!! You got this!! ❤️❤️
Great ideas - especially about the pet products. One of my suppliers always recommends pet products as well. I guess I know what I need to add to my lineup this year! 😁
Hi! Candles are not included in this list. 😊 But you can check out this blog post of mine if you want to know more about how you can stand out in a saturated market: www.creativehiveco.com/marketing-your-products-differently-how-to-stand-out/
Great info. I agree with all of these. I'm out of the norm, though, in that I don't understand the polymer clay earrings that are so popular now. It reminds me of children's dollar dress up jewelry.The flowers, etc. I can't stand it. I like more artistic fine jewelry. So interesting to see what's popular right now and people's different tastes.
Thank you for watching J! ❤️❤️ I find it interesting too to see how people's tastes when it comes to fashion, accessories, trends, etc. are so diverse. ❤️❤️
hello, is it okay if i use a crochet pattern that i see on youtube and name it with a different name when i sell it on my shop? or if i add a little twist on it, maybe change some color and add a design, or make small changes in general, will it be okay if i name it differently?
Hi! It depends. If the crochet pattern is available/free to use commercially (i.e. with consent from the designer), that's totally fine. Otherwise, I think it's not a smart idea to kind of resell them. If unsure, you can always ask the designer. You can also check out this link for reference: crochetpreneur.com/sell-crochet-items-someone-elses-pattern/
I have to correct you about your definition of Bohemian. It is a region in what is now the Czech Republic. I'm not sure how it became associated with a lifestyle, trends or gypsies (Romany).
Hi Karen! It's important that you're promoting/marketing your products to your ideal customers because they are also the customers that will buy from you.
@@CreativeHiveCo thanks for the reply. I've tried to advertise to people who like to go to festivals and people who like bohemian style jewelry. Not sure who else would like my stuff 😆🤷♀️ I've also reached out to people to see if they would like a free piece to model and give me some exposure, alas no one is interested. Some of my pieces aren't cheap but I also have a wide variety and prices can range from $8 to $300 because macrame is time consuming. The IG ads are also a waste of time. Sometimes there is a glitch and it will say my post reached 0 people over the span of a few days and yet they still charge me. So I'm not going to waste time and money on ads. I feel like I'm on a the titanic trying to rearrange the deck chairs and the ship is still sinking 😂 I think a huge part of the problem is I don't post often enough for the algorithm to pick up my posts. But also how do I post multiple times a week when I work 40 hours a week at a hospital and it takes an entire weekend to finish a piece. Maybe I'll have better luck on tiktok...
Hi Karen! Consistency is really important. I would suggest allot maybe 1-3 hours each day to spend on marketing and social engagement with your followers. Marketing is as important as making your products so I highly encourage you also spend some time in marketing/promoting your products/shop. If it'll help, consider hiring help too. If you're interested, you're also more than welcome to join my free workshop. Here's the link to register: bit.ly/3EGGC47 Good luck!! You got this!! ❤️❤️
All the best. It's a jungle out there. There is no quick, easy way especially if it's your side hustle. But there's definitely a growing macrame trend. Surveys to your potential target market could help gather information from the right people. It's a learn and grow process💖
Another product that is vitally needed is 18" doll clothes. The companies that sell doll clothes charge a fortune and most people can't afford them. Homemade doll clothes are prettier and more what girls want. Also, doll accessories. Purses, totes, jewelry, hair ribbons and hats and etc.
Handmade doll clothes will be expensive and not cheaper than what is already massed produced from China. Doll accessories included. Exactly what price point is considered affordable? Most people can afford what is available out there.
If you want inexpensive doll clothes, learn to sew/knit/crochet and make your own.. it will cost you time and materials. Doing this will teach you a few things. Making small sized items takes longer than human sized, materials can get expensive, and hand made crafters need to make a living, so spending 2+ hours making an 18 inch doll outfit, then selling it for less than materials cost and no compensation for time spent won't work.
Thank Mei. You mentioned a number of the products I make and am putting into my online gift store. Are there safety rules for pet toys. Haven't decided about our toys yet
Hi Shoshanah! I would suggest to research or reach out to an expert regarding safety rules surrounding pet toys to get more accurate info. Here's one I found on Google that might be helpful: www.intertek.com/blog/2019-09-17-dog-toys/ Good luck! Hope that helps! ❤️
Hi Victoria!! Research your target market first and see if there's demand for your products and if it will be profitable. Good luck!! You got this!! ❤️❤️
I make polymer clay jewellery and I sell more necklaces lol. I make earrings also but my customers always want necklaces. In craft fairs I always ran out of necklaces.

Hi Janine! As a start, you can check out my blog post here to know how you can find your ideal customers: www.creativehiveco.com/do-you-know-your-ideal-customers/
As a young girl I had a sweet tooth like every other youngster. I went to purchase a lot of sweets, I was surprised when the seller said that's the actual cost of a whole packet of sweets and I got a packet of sweets 72 in total. I was expecting to buy 24 sweets for my one shilling ...at retail cost. Now I had thee times the number. I got a small tray emptied my pack of sweets and walked far away from the neighbourhood selling sweets. I sold every one and now my craving for sweet was reduced I wanted to make money instead. I did this sweet rounds every saturday for months. In those days children went out to play and there was no worry for parents. So long story short I just make little things as gifts and then a large number of people ask to purchase. Hand made products are really a lifeline. I make pot hangers with old socks and if anyone wanted one I used new socks.I enjoyed your video and I'm subbed ..why not.
With the beauty market already saturated, i thought beauty products were not really trendy as handmade when your competitors are Kylie beauty for example…
Hi Alexandra! More and more people are getting hooked to make-ups and skincare products nowadays too. Here's a blog of mine that talks about how you can stand out in a market with so much competition: www.creativehiveco.com/marketing-your-products-differently-how-to-stand-out/
In regards to the first items mentioned Boho-chic, saying the G word in regards to the people is like using the N word in regards to another group of people, the proper term is Roma or Romani. Other than that it is a good video.
Hi Bevie! It's actually a great idea to give your customers options. Just make sure though that you don't get too overboard and give them too many options at once. It's also really important to have your product line cohesive.
Wholesale items with resin , resin is getting real expensive, and in the same time real popular how came art crafters make some money in whole sale resin pieces?

Love the ideas, but FYI gypsy is a slur! A lot of people in the west don’t know that but it’s actually a not-so-kind word for people from Romania and has a lot of negative historical connotations.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I knew it! I posted a comment above that I had not seen any whiners on here whining about the word "gypsy". I did not look far enough down to see YOUR ridiculous comment Kaiodi!!!! Why not do something to change the world you live in that ACTUALLY helps, like go work in a soup kitchen, volunteer at an animal shelter and give loves to these precious little cats and dogs. But really? STFU about whining and being "offended" by every.single.frigging.thing!!!
@@CreativeHiveCo Don't let this whiner bother you or make you feel guilty. I know of some people who are PROUD of the term gypsy and there is also a reality show called "Big Fat Gypsy Wedding", these people ARE gypsies and proud of it. So, who is this Kaiodi Whiner to say that actual gypsies are all "offended". Never apologize for anything that was not done on purpose or to be mean. IGNORE people like this, you're too kind to apologize to it.
Hi please do NOT misinform people with handmade products, because I make and sell mostly handmade products and it does not sell. From jewelry, art to toys, knitting, and crochet products. So if you can let us know where your handmade products sell, that will help a lot. Thank you
Hi Jen! I sell on my own website at tinyhandsonline.com. I also have a shop on Etsy but I just have it set on autopilot and use their built-in traffic to find me.

I think a huge part of the problem is I don't post often enough for the algorithm to pick up my posts. But also how do I post multiple times a week when I work 40 hours a week at a hospital and it takes an entire weekend to finish a piece. Maybe I'll have better luck on tiktok...
Hi Karen! Consistency is really important. I would suggest allot maybe 1-3 hours each day to spend on marketing and social engagement with your followers. Marketing is as important as making your products so I highly encourage you also spend some time in marketing/promoting your products/shop. If it'll help, consider hiring help too. If you're interested, you're also more than welcome to join my free workshop. Here's the link to register: bit.ly/3EGGC47 Good luck!! You got this!! ❤️❤️
All the best. It's a jungle out there. There is no quick, easy way especially if it's your side hustle. But there's definitely a growing macrame trend. Surveys to your potential target market could help gather information from the right people. It's a learn and grow process💖
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊 Thank you for watching, Christine!
Another product that is vitally needed is 18" doll clothes. The companies that sell doll clothes charge a fortune and most people can't afford them. Homemade doll clothes are prettier and more what girls want. Also, doll accessories. Purses, totes, jewelry, hair ribbons and hats and etc.
Those are great additions Katie!! Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤️❤️
Handmade doll clothes will be expensive and not cheaper than what is already massed produced from China. Doll accessories included. Exactly what price point is considered affordable? Most people can afford what is available out there.
If you want inexpensive doll clothes, learn to sew/knit/crochet and make your own.. it will cost you time and materials.
Doing this will teach you a few things. Making small sized items takes longer than human sized, materials can get expensive, and hand made crafters need to make a living, so spending 2+ hours making an 18 inch doll outfit, then selling it for less than materials cost and no compensation for time spent won't work.
Some of these trends were also very popular last year
Yup - there is some carryover for sure.
@Macramome indeed! May I say ALL of these??macramé, boho chic, polymer clay, crochet, online courses, farmhouse style…really??🤔🙄
hey thanks for information 😌

Thank Mei. You mentioned a number of the products I make and am putting into my online gift store. Are there safety rules for pet toys. Haven't decided about our toys yet
Hi Shoshanah! I would suggest to research or reach out to an expert regarding safety rules surrounding pet toys to get more accurate info. Here's one I found on Google that might be helpful: www.intertek.com/blog/2019-09-17-dog-toys/ Good luck! Hope that helps! ❤️
I make denium purses hope those sell.
Hi Victoria!! Research your target market first and see if there's demand for your products and if it will be profitable. Good luck!! You got this!! ❤️❤️
I make polymer clay jewellery and I sell more necklaces lol. I make earrings also but my customers always want necklaces. In craft fairs I always ran out of necklaces.

I wish people wanted to pay me what I deserve to knit items for them!
Hi Janine! You need to start by finding your ideal customers. They are the ones who will buy your products at a price you deserve. You got this! ❤️
@@CreativeHiveCo where?
Hi Janine! As a start, you can check out my blog post here to know how you can find your ideal customers: www.creativehiveco.com/do-you-know-your-ideal-customers/
As a young girl I had a sweet tooth like every other youngster. I went to purchase a lot of sweets, I was surprised when the seller said that's the actual cost of a whole packet of sweets and I got a packet of sweets 72 in total. I was expecting to buy 24 sweets for my one shilling ...at retail cost. Now I had thee times the number. I got a small tray emptied my pack of sweets and walked far away from the neighbourhood selling sweets. I sold every one and now my craving for sweet was reduced I wanted to make money instead. I did this sweet rounds every saturday for months. In those days children went out to play and there was no worry for parents. So long story short I just make little things as gifts and then a large number of people ask to purchase. Hand made products are really a lifeline. I make pot hangers with old socks and if anyone wanted one I used new socks.I enjoyed your video and I'm subbed ..why not.
Thank you so much for sharing your story Princess!! I wish you all the best!! ❤️❤️

With the beauty market already saturated, i thought beauty products were not really trendy as handmade when your competitors are Kylie beauty for example…
Hi Alexandra! More and more people are getting hooked to make-ups and skincare products nowadays too. Here's a blog of mine that talks about how you can stand out in a market with so much competition: www.creativehiveco.com/marketing-your-products-differently-how-to-stand-out/
In regards to the first items mentioned Boho-chic, saying the G word in regards to the people is like using the N word in regards to another group of people, the proper term is Roma or Romani.
Other than that it is a good video.
Additionally, for future information, they tended to live in Vardos not G word wagons.
Thank you so much for the info Kasey! I don't intend on offending anyone with it. Will keep this in mind. Thank you! ❤️
im making hats
bennies i gues
That's great! Definitely keep at it!
Is it a bad idea to have more than one product for sale on your page?
Hi Bevie! It's actually a great idea to give your customers options. Just make sure though that you don't get too overboard and give them too many options at once. It's also really important to have your product line cohesive.
Wholesale items with resin , resin is getting real expensive, and in the same time real popular how came art crafters make some money in whole sale resin pieces?
Hi Ruth! I think my blog posts below can be helpful for you. Feel free to check them out and explore around! ❤️❤️😊😊 Good luck!!

Love the ideas, but FYI gypsy is a slur! A lot of people in the west don’t know that but it’s actually a not-so-kind word for people from Romania and has a lot of negative historical connotations.
Thank you so much for letting me know Cove! I'm not aware of that so I really appreciate you sharing this info.
Just so you know Mei, gypsy is considered by most Romani people to be a slur! No hate here, just figured you didn’t know
Thank you for telling me that, Kaiodi! I didn't realize and would never want to use a word that offends people. 💖
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I knew it! I posted a comment above that I had not seen any whiners on here whining about the word "gypsy". I did not look far enough down to see YOUR ridiculous comment Kaiodi!!!! Why not do something to change the world you live in that ACTUALLY helps, like go work in a soup kitchen, volunteer at an animal shelter and give loves to these precious little cats and dogs. But really? STFU about whining and being "offended" by every.single.frigging.thing!!!
@@CreativeHiveCo Don't let this whiner bother you or make you feel guilty. I know of some people who are PROUD of the term gypsy and there is also a reality show called "Big Fat Gypsy Wedding", these people ARE gypsies and proud of it. So, who is this Kaiodi Whiner to say that actual gypsies are all "offended". Never apologize for anything that was not done on purpose or to be mean. IGNORE people like this, you're too kind to apologize to it.
You've made millions selling handmade products? Very, very, very hard to believe.
Hi please do NOT misinform people with handmade products, because I make and sell mostly handmade products and it does not sell. From jewelry, art to toys, knitting, and crochet products. So if you can let us know where your handmade products sell, that will help a lot. Thank you
Hi Jen! I sell on my own website at tinyhandsonline.com. I also have a shop on Etsy but I just have it set on autopilot and use their built-in traffic to find me.
Handmade very much DOES sell, but you have to find the right product, develop a professional brand and get a social media strategy.
Thank you
