Just beginning my crochet business journey. I was born with a physical disability that prevents me from working in the traditional sense. So something I can do that requires limited mobility and can be done at home is perfect for me. I wish I had the courage to begin sooner. Thank you for your tips and positive attitude

This is also where social media can really help. Instagram is great. But it takes being active on it. Ask for followers on all your socials. Then interact with others on there. as you interact many will naturally follow you. Organic growth takes interaction.

@EliseRoseCrochet 6 ай бұрын

It definitely does! I will also mention adding value when you share on social media. Give people a helpful tip! It makes a big difference! 🧶🧶🧶

@lissac67 6 ай бұрын

Yes, surely does. I also saw that you didn't care for the regular posting continuously on social, which I understand. I think it can help in the beginning so people find you. Once you have a following like you do now, you can post when it feels good. Love the ideas! @@EliseRoseCrochet

One thing on packaging/handmade tags, etc that I discovered making my own stickers is use EVERYTHING. I had sticker paper left over after printing and cutting out stickers, and those trimmings were the perfet size to draw or stamp my logo to add to the envelope and make a plain envelope look a little bit nicer. Those trimmings otherwise would have been thrown away and been a loss, but reusing them helps you maximize profit vs expense (as well as minimizing the waste your creating generates!)

Your positivity is wonderful! And from a fellow small business owner, everything you said is spot on…a dedicated space in the house, separate banking, emails, phone, etc is important. I would even say getting business cards is essential. You have to treat it seriously if you expect others to. I formed my LLC in 2020 and it took a couple years to create the business… sweat equity for 2 years… and finally in 2023 is the first truly profit year. Patient with yourself and the process is very important. Everything you say here is wonderful!

Thank you so much for this video! I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in June of 2023. I finished my last Chemo treatment in October, and my Double Mastectomy was in Nov. Now I am in the process of putting my life and my body (literally) back together after my world absolutely stopped! In the midst of all this I have been doing some research trying to determine where my Cancer came from. Sense then I have committed to learn about all the carcinogens that are in our home unbeknownst to us, ways my diet and lifestyle can support my treatments, and what I can do to generate income from a much less stressful source. My goal is to create a side hustle, crochet and sewn home goods that are as carcinogen free as possible that also support reducing waste in our world. I am willing to learn whatever I need in order to make this side hustle work. Like you, I am not willing to go into debt for this little adventure. So I am reaching out to anyone that I can in order to get advice, direction, tips, tricks, ideas, support, whatever! Prayers for you and your family!

Every country besides usa has their people do parasite cleanses every six months, because they are actually in our bodies but our govt doesn’t tell us this or want us to know. Parasites and inflammation are big cancer starters, research this! Doing a parasite cleanse can change your life. Just felt moved to tell you this n relay this information. ❤ I hope you stay cancer free!!!! 🥰

Elise, I have been following you for at least 2 years now and I am always inspired by your love of crochet, knitting and amigurumi; however, this video tops the list! You speak from the heart and graciously share your experiences in an effort to spare the rest of us the pain and anguish of business creation. Thank you for being a wonderful mentor and support person. And thank you for speaking honestly and openly about self doubt and the negative voice we probably all hear more than not. What a lovely gift you have offered!

You are just the sweetest and highly motivational! Everyone has to begin somewhere, and it’s helpful that you shared just how little skills you had when it came to making videos (editing, for example) and to see how you’ve evolved through the years. I’m currently a school teacher, forced to learn a lot of new technology, and it STILL intimidates me thinking about learning different skills associated with social media! 😅

I hope to have a business that allows me to explore all my ideas and continuously be inspired by the creators around me. This video has helped put a lot of my uncertainties to rest.

Loved this video Elise, thank you! You're always so generous with your advice and I feel like I'm sitting down to chat with a friend when I watch your videos. I have sold 4 of my amigurumi since last summer so not exactly a roaring success (!) but I haven't pushed myself out there yet or done business cards or anything - those just all came from word of mouth. I'm going to be brave this year and put myself out there and see where it takes me. i think your tip on having realistic earning goals (£50 to £100 to £500 a month goals) is such a great idea and makes it all feel a little less scary! I would love a whole video on how you deal with pricing as that is something I do get stuck on a lot - mostly because of confidence I think and not valuing my work as I should. Thanks again, you are a joy! From Sarah in a wet and windy Oxfordshire village, UK. Roll on Spring! x

The last couple days I've been second guessing my decisions and still had some unanswered questions, I wasn't sure would get answered as I had no idea who to ask.

I enjoy the answer about social media when you stated Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram were soul-sucking to you. I can see that. Instagram gives you about 24 hrs viewing and then it kind of vanishes (if it is harder to get viewed for 24 hrs then I'm not bothering). Love it.

I recently found your videos and enjoy watching each one. Your energy and authenticity is comforting. This video was absolutely wonderful, so honest and encouraging, thank you. My biggest struggle is confidence that my items are good enough to sell. Friends and family of course order my stuff but I’ve yet to sell to an unknown person, this is my first goal of this new year. Again thank you, this video was very informative and has me thinking, but also thank you for all your videos I truly enjoy them.

Thank you so much for this video and sharing such fantastic insight into starting a business, Elise. I started a paper crafting business last autumn and I felt many of those anxious and nervous emotions, so even though I work in paper, your frank Q&A was so helpful! Your book recommendations are on my list. Thank you so very much!

I love your videos. Watching you has reinvigorated my love for crochet. I started 20 years ago making baby blankets and nothing else to taking a long break with only making scarves and a couple small things in between to a few months ago trying amigurumi and now it’s my daily release. I’m married, work full time and have 2 small daughters (ages 2 and 4). I bought the KZfaq course you recommended and I keep thinking about trying it but get overwhelmed thinking about fitting it in my already crazy schedule. However with every video I see like this, I start inching closer. I’d love to quit my job and for this to be my full time thing. Thanks for being such an inspiration. ❤

I love the idea about looking back on how you improved instead of looking at high business people that's how I feel some of the time. I came to this video because I almost always underpay myself with hademade finished crochet projects thanks for the advice

I crochet part time and I have a shop on Etsy . I sell physical products . Crochet world become very competitive that a lot of people sells their Amigurumi for nothing. 😢 My next goal is to try patterns . My Main issue is ..English is not my main language so I’m little bit scared 😅. But I must confront my fear .

This is so inspiring. I have been making birthday and Christmas presents all year round for friends and family. I have always wanted to set up my own booth at events or farmers' market as a side hustle, and your video motivated me. Thank you so much!

The question of whether you still enjoy crochet made me wish so much that I could spend more of my work time crocheting! Like you, I'm most of the time on computer. For videos I mainly only need to crochet small samples. For that reason I was excited to make a video of a cardigan, it took so much crocheting ! So I'm planning more projects that actually require crochet 😊

That's wonderful!!! It really can be tough to squeeze in crochet time when you have a crochet KZfaq channel!! 🧶🧶🧶

Thank you so much for this video. I enjoyed the positive and "matter of fact" responses to the questions, many of which I had myself! I'm disabled and neurodivergent and so I have many obstacles to achieving a clear direction with my love for crochet. I always find your videos inspiring and just a breath of fresh air amidst uncertainty and anxiety I face.

Great video. I think a lot of these tips apply to many businesses. I do think what really helps is having a great support network. It can make all the difference. The information you provide is so helpful. Thank you

Hi Elise, this was yet another fantastic video. It was so good I had to share it with my cousin. She has a music blog where she is teaching music. She and I were talking on the phone and she mentioned some people were telling her negative things and telling her to get a "real job." Your words were so encouraging to me and I hope they will be for her too. God bless you and your family and business.
