    Another tip, especially for Etsy sellers : do TRACKED shipping ! You will avoid scammers saying their product didn't arrive when it had. I had a customer that asked me a refund for non delivered parcell, I refused as my conditions were that non-tracked shipping can't be refunded (cause I can't be sure it did arrived or not). The person asked etsy instead and got entirely refunded even tho of my shop conditions. Since then I have only tracked shipping and no issues anymore.

    Hi I am 13 and started my business last year bc of you I love to crochet with your videos in the background
  • @ezyx3977
    I crochet as a hobby. But the cost of doing this hobby is making me consider opening a small business 😅
  • @craftingsqualls
    Just wanted to add a note: the full saying is "The customer is always right in matters of taste, but not in matters of policy" it is just to encourage high customer satisfaction least thats what me grandma has taught me (she was a business owner <3 )
  • @slaysal
    hi! ^^ I'm 13 rn and i started my lil crochet business like 6 months ago, and you were my inspiration and motivation that maybe someday ill make big crochet business like you! :D And i absolutely love ur videos <3
  • @sofiazenobio1261
    I think that opening a small business its sooooooo difficult but i follow all ur vids to learn more. Thank you genna! We love you all so much !
  • @user-qn3pz5ze4r
    Could you make a video about how you deal with taxes when running a small business and if you need an LLC or vendors license? Would love to know - thinking about starting my small business and tote videos are really making me want to pursue it even more!
  • @kaechup
    I’m hoping to start selling in 2024 so this came at just the right time. Thank you so much for putting so much time into this ❤
  • @Handmadebytinnu
    You are so kind to do this and provide specifics in a couple of other videos too despite it being a competitive world! Thank you for the genuine encouragement! It gave me the confidence to finally open my Etsy shop (but I am keeping my expectations low). We appreciate all that you do! 😊💓
  • Or hire a professional graphic designer such as myself who designs completely ORIGINAL for your branding since people use and reuse things in Canva and nothing is really original, AND realize that you need to trademark your logo for it to absolutely be yours and never someone else’s.
  • I love your videos so much! I started my own buisness and I am very happy with it! I didn't think I would get this far! ❤
  • @anathinice
    Thank You so much for this video Genna! I am currently at the beginning stages of lauching my BIZ and this is just what i needed to hear.
  • @erinstinson5735
    I really love your tip about taking a leap of faith, Genna. It really hits home as I'm one of those people who constantly says "What if it doesn't work out? What if no one likes my stuff?" Honestly, I really need to get out of that mindset. I hope to be able to conquer that fear this year. 😊
  • Hello Genna, Thank you for this. This is very informative and helpful. I have been crocheting for many years. However, recently I have started selling my finished pieces. You are inspiring.
  • Lovely video. I have a pretty chill crochet business alongside my other 2 jobs and I realize I am so blessed that I don't have to dedicate too much to it. I do custom orders and ready made practical home items and cat themed accessories.
  • @IsabellaByler
    Hi Genna! I am 11 and just starting my small crochet business and I find this video so helpful to me. Thank you! And I love watching your other videos too!😊
  • @baiolliee.3
    I was looking for a video like this! Im not at the skill level to open a crochet business quite yet, but that’s the goal in the end! thanks genna!
  • Love your comments about tracking sales/expenses in advance! It is so hard to catch up all at once if you don't. And 100% crocheting takes time so it is important to do other things besides just crochet and craft ALL day or you will get burnt out. <3 I feel like I went through these same things starting my business.
  • @deromo1
    Your videos have been the most helpful for me! Started crocheting this year in February and I fell in love with it. Of course I feel self conscious all the time because I'm a big man (💅) but still something im working on. I'm glad to have these videos to reference and also your plushies and patterns are so good! Thank you for sharing all of this valuable information! 😊🙏❤️
  • @julieann5196
    These are really great tips. Thanks for sharing Genna.
