I knew somebody was going to do that! 🤣🤣🤣

I started making soap 2 years ago and it just exploded! I now offer a full line of all natural skincare! Our goal is to help families go chemical free! (And also bring my hubby home full-time 😉) when I first started he said "no one's going to buy a bar of soap for $8" now he sees that it could very well bring him home 🤣 ~jc

[@CreativeHiveCo]

That's really amazing!! Congrats!! ❤️

[@teresamunoz91]

That's awesome! I've been making and selling soap since September 2019 and still waiting for my business to take off 🙂

[@kittymogulco]

congrats so much 🙌 thats awesome!! where can i follow your soap shop?

[@R53Hole]

soap is chemical

[@SteadfastTrailFarm]

@@R53Hole but not a harmful one if made correctly. We are chemical. There's a lot of chemical processes going on in us. So they're a good chemicals and bad chemicals. It's important to know the difference.

[@chiedzamakware4891]

Your videos are very helpful. I can't remember the first video I saw you teaching on how to start a handmade business. I followed you for that reason and your explanations in your videos are so crystal clear. I haven't started on anything because in third world countries it's a bit slow to gather capital and I take my time to work on a different angle from anyone else. Thank you for educating the world about independence in this way.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Aww. Thank you so much for your kind words!! ❤️ I know you'll be able to start your dream business very soon!! ❤️💯 Good luck!!

[@Hilary_ClarbySoaps]

Good to know cosmetics and skincare are on your list as I make these. Just a cautionary warning for UK sellers.. All skincare products including soap has to be cosmetically certified in UK and Europe and this is very expensive... So it's not a quick win here. Different rules in other countries though 😊

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Thank you so much for watching and sharing, Hilary! ❤️

[@donnabashline4933]

They would need to be FDA approved in the US.

[@scheherezade3]

@@donnabashline4933actually they don’t necessarily. Only if it contains color additives.

[@daryljohnsonfx5407]

Making a course online is definitely my favorite way to make money! Thanks for sharing

[@CreativeHiveCo]

You're welcome! It's not just about the income, but also the joy of sharing knowledge and helping others grow.

[@Thepillarcelebration]

I've been considering the jewelry/ accessories idea! This was confirmation!

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Awesome!! Go for it!! ❤️

[@carrieg2520]

There are a TON of regulations and labeling requirements around cosmetics, skin care, and essential oils! You should also have insurance in case a customer has an issue with the product. Many of these products also require appropriate preservatives. PLEASE know what you are doing before you start to sell anything that can be put on the body! You can't just buy a kit or fill your grocery cart and sell skincare or cosmetics! You also need to be very careful of how you market your product - you can't make certain claims abut what it can do because then it becomes a drug and must be FDA approved.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Hi Carrie! I agree that we should be informed and follow proper regulations when launching a product like cosmetics or skincare. Rules and regulations also differ depending on location. And like you said, for U.S. based businesses, the FDA lays out the requirements and any claim restrictions. It's a great resource to those looking to get informed. Thank you so much for your comment!

[@yasinnabi]

Becoming rich or successful only requires high income skills, once you learn a skill, money will follow you. based on my own experience.. a fellow creator.... BTW, thanks I have enjoyed watcing this video ....

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts Yasin!! ❤️

[@rocknsaiyan4745]

These ideas are pretty good. I remember making my own toothpaste out of organic materials and some fun Canva flyers on Canva. Gotta love creating merchandise and having projects to look back on and profit with. It's very rewarding. 😎👍

[@CreativeHiveCo]

I totally agree! It's very rewarding! ❤️

[@michaelamaccourt2048]

Thank you so much for your videos. I have learned a lot so far and I haven't got through all of them yet. Your super smart and beautiful thank you so much again.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Aww. Thank you so much for your kind words Michaela!! I'm so happy you learned a lot from the video!! ❤️

[@thermsen121]

Thank you so much for these videos! I have a question- I have just recently started taking wholesale orders. Should I keep my cost of goods to myself? Also I sell clothing and I was wondering if I should mention the type of blanks I am using by name. If I do this, the retailer can find the cost of material easily but this way they know everything about what they are getting. Thank you!

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Hi Tracie! I don't think it's necessary to share your cost of goods. The important numbers are your retail pricing and your wholesale pricing. Sharing the materials of your product such as "cotton blend" are helpful descriptors for your buyers. Naming the manufacturer such as Hanes or Bella & Canvas won't give away too much information on pricing because they can be purchased from a variety of distributers at different price points and since there are lots of other elements in your clothing apart from the blanks themselves they still wouldn't exactly know the cost of material. You can also look at how similar brands as yours do it to get some ideas. Good luck! ❤️

[@blueturtle8113]

I’m really close to having everything together to start selling! Could I leave a comment on here to show people and direct them to my etsy shop? I don’t want to use your page to get peoples attention without asking first. Anyways love your videos there very well put together!

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Hi! Thank you so much! I'm so happy to know you're loving my contents! ❤️ Posting your products/shop on places where your ideal customers are hanging out at is what will bring in the right traffic to your shop. In case you're interested, I really think you're going to learn a lot from my free workshop where I talked about ways you can promote your brand/shop online. Here's the link if you want to register: bit.ly/3EGGC47 Hope to see you there! All the best!! ❤️

[@macilak]

You make it sound so easy. LOL. Some of these products in some countries can't actually just be made as it is more strictly regulated than in the US (e.g. you need a chemist degree). Good luck :)

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Hi! Thank you so much for your comment! I agree that laws and regulations differ depending on the country/state so it's really important that we check all the rules before starting a business.

[@shenitagazaway2370]

Actually, the FDA doesn't regulate natural or should I say homemade or organic products are hardly as we think. I just looked it up. I can't remember exactly what it said but there are strict laws on the labeling of the product. Personally, cosmetics I would stay away from because that's very heavily regulated unlike essential oils and skin care.

[@kittymogulco]

Loved this video, you give so much knowledge and value, thank you so much ❤

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! ❤️

[@JS-co4ug]

What kind of course would you recommend to create and how to do it? Any recommended platform or website?

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Great question! I'd recommend a course in something you're passionate about and have expertise in - it could be a hobby, skill, or professional knowledge! Platforms like Udemy, Teachable, or Skillshare are awesome to get started.

[@michaelamaccourt2048]

Does resin art jewelry sale good? I haven't watched the video all the way yet. So I will see if you mention it.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Hi Michaela! Jewelry is number 1 on my list in this video. You can definitely experiment with different materials. In case you're interested, I also have a blog (and KZbin video) about starting your own resin business. Here's the link if you want to check it out: www.creativehiveco.com/how-to-start-your-own-resin-business/ Good luck!! ❤️

[@CJhasgoneidle]

Be careful with resin!! A lot of creators treat it like it's just another art medium, but it's important to know the risks. Resin in its liquid, uncured state is extremely toxic, and must be handled knowledgeably with plenty of PPE and ventilation. Plus, you must be careful not to undercure your resin and end up selling something toxic to your customers, and make sure you follow the proper guidelines on how to dispose of your consumable equipment afterwards.

[@keke9670]

I've been selling my handmade jewelry since 2016 and started drop shipping in 2019 then print on demand in 2020. I make no sales. It's very frustrating.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Please know that you got this! 💯 How are you currently driving traffic and sales to your online shop?

[@bestyappiah]

where can I possibly get my first products to buy and what is the best platform to sell

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Hi! My blog here can be helpful for you: www.creativehiveco.com/10-places-to-sell-your-handmade-products-online/ If you can, I always highly recommend starting with your own website as that provides more stability and security compared to eCommerce marketplaces like Etsy, Amazon, etc. They can be good as extra source of income but driving your traffic and sales mainly to your own website gives you more room for long-term growth. In terms of first products, do you have any products in mind?

[@geethanaicker1619]

I am unemployed and would like to try this.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Go for it, Geetha!! You got this!! ❤️💯

[@annitagalvan9049]

Hi Mei, 😊 do you have any video about Ecwid e-commerce, or if not, can you do a video about it, to compare the differences, pros and cons between Ecwid and Shopify? Thanks a lot 😊

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Hi Annita! I currently don't have one. Thank you so much for the suggestion! Will look into it. 😊 In the meantime, just in case it would be of interest to you, here's a link to one of my blogs where I compared WooCommerce vs Shopify: www.creativehiveco.com/woocommerce-vs-shopify-best-ecommerce-platform/

[@annitagalvan9049]

Hi Hi my dear Mei, I've just been watching another video of yours regarding "the 10 places to sell our products". Sure, I will watch the video you suggest. Always helpful 😊 Regarding a live video you mentioned about, can you please tell me when will this take place? Thanks a lot 😊

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Thank you so much Annita!! ❤️ With regards to my KZbin Livestream, it was yesterday. Hope you're able to join! In case you missed it though, here's the link to the replay: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX-caZp-pbyAa9E The replay will only be available until January 31st though so be sure to catch it! 😊❤️

[@annitagalvan9049]

Hi Mei, due to our time difference, I didn't catch it from the beginning, I was able to watch just very little and drew my attention. I will definitely watch the whole course ❤️

[@ravenprice6112]

Something no one mentions when making these videos that I think is important is if you decide to make cosmetics, foods, dog treats, or anything basically ingestible (even candles and soaps), these items are highly regulated by the FDA if they are cosmetics or other governmental entities. You can't just decide to make soap or cosmetics and sell them. Do your research before you jump in. I also HIGHLY recommend when you get a business license that you get product liability insurance because if anyone tries to blame you for a defective product, you could come up against serious law suits. Be careful and do diligent research when deciding to make and sell things that are ingested, put on the skin, pet foods, candles, etc.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

I totally agree. This video just lists down some of the best low cost, profitable products that one can sell. It's still important that we conduct our own research before jumping in. Thank you so much for sharing your insights, Raven! ❤️

[@hitotsuworldllc5352]

Great video for people who are just getting started or for someone who wants to start another business! I'll leave the beauty products to my beauty product making friends and I'll stick to stickers XD (pun intended)

Where to sell my essential oils? I used Etsy without any success.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Sorry to hear about your Etsy experience! Consider setting up your own website in an e-commerce platform like Shopify. It's great for expanding your reach!

[@AN-zk8yv]

You are basically telling people to mix the cheapest ingredients of what ever they can find together and sell these as skin and hair products and claim that they are any good.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

I understand your concern, and it's important to prioritize quality and safety in skincare and haircare products. While some DIY or homemade products might use inexpensive ingredients, not all affordable options are necessarily ineffective. 🙂

[@Lyndendance]

Oh dear, sewing crafts are not selling well then? 😢

[@dragonwielder]

It's not so much that they don't sell, because they do... In my experience, I think sewing crafts are harder to make a large quantity of items from inexpensive materials (unless you're only making little things like scrunchies, and/or upcycling thrifted clothing or bedsheets or something. Most new fabric isn't cheap, even at Walmart!). Mei's examples are things that you could reasonably expect to make a decent quantity of items and sell them for boutique prices without paying a lot for raw materials. I couldn't necessarily say the same for most handmade clothing or larger accessories, as much as I'd like to!

[@ninirossau2304]

you have to find a way to source materials cheaply ( I use secondhand shops, dumpster dive and we have a music festival where I can scrounce free materials.) you have to find the right idea (what sells in your area) and you have to have a good tecnical level. I struggle with the last which is why I hand sew a lot because that looks better. you have to consider the time you use against the perceived value. but if you get these things right it can work. you just need to find your niche.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Hi! You got some great insights here from Emily and Nini. Will just drop a link here from my blog in case you're making/sewing clothes and is looking into starting a clothing business: www.creativehiveco.com/5-steps-to-start-a-handmade-clothing-business-in-2020/ Good luck and hope this helps!! ❤️
