Todays I'm sharing a weekend in my life of growing my small business from my bedroom. I'm going to be sublimating mouse mats, packing my first small business orders for 2024 and designing some new products for my online shop!

I 100% agree product photos look better with using fabric as back ground after watching your video I tried it out myself 😂 thank you for sharing 🥰

Youre doing fantastic, I would love to see more of your design process! Keep up the good work Abi!

I’ve watched so many convention vlogs and they seem to really love all the novelty themes like your cats and frogs - just doing coordinating bundles may work so well for you 🎉🎉😊

Yeah I will definitely be selling my cats and frog designs as well! I think they'll fit in well with the convention crowed ahah!

Hi Abi! I love your videos and your positive attitude even when things don’t go to plan, it’s really refreshing seeing someone at the start of their business journey and I’m loving following it along with you! 💛 With regards to video ideas, I hope I’ve not missed you talking about this in previous videos but I would really love to see a full breakdown of how much it’s cost you to start sublimation printing your own products. Watching your videos on it has inspired me to give it a go and I’d love to watch you talk about how much it’s cost you in total so far as I know you didn’t have a smooth ride with it!

I thought about applying for a tiktok shop too but after hearing your thoughts, I am definitely waiting as well. It sounds so stressful with refunding orders

It does! Hopefully they'll sort stuff out soon and become a bit more of a reliable shop for small businesses ahah.

I love the business side of your videos its good to see other small business and etsy sellers. What you sell is very different to me but things like how you pack orders things like where you get packaging supplies business cards is useful to all sellers. Things like do you do your own accounts or use an ancient if you do your own do you use software or just do it on paper. How do you find markets and craft fairies to do. Who do you use for insurance? The things would help all small business no matter what they sell and when people are just starting they are things that worry and confuse people. I will be interested to see what new places you find to sell and how hard or easy it is to set up. I love watching your videos when I am working. I heard about a few problems with tiktok shops

Thank you for another great vlog! I was wondering (if you don't mind sharing), what brand of paper or the weight of paper you use for your backing cards. I am looking into making some for my small business and love getting feedback from other small businesses on what works for them. Thanks again and congrats on all your success!

I use the Epson archival matt photo paper, I believe its around 189gsm, for packaging keychains I just put them straight into the sleeves but for my acrylic pins I laminate them before cutting them so they're a bit stronger and feel better! ☺
