I'm so glad I didn't think before I started my dream. It's been a wonderful and now successful joyney!! Be afraid and do it anyway ❣️❣️

[@AngieHolden]

It is scary no matter what!

[@christinaschuricht8506]

TG & tysvm Angie for doing the crafty camp!..I can't wait to learn everything I possibly can.. TG & Angie for including everything we all can relate to & learn from!

[@AngieHolden]

Yay! So happy you are joining!

[@zullo3529]

I have a small handmade business. It’s tough to get started. I do this mainly as a side hustle and by word of mouth. I only take so many order at one time so I don’t get overwhelmed. I can’t wait for the camp. Oh how I would love to have a dream box. And I need it. My craft hoard is everywhere! Thanks Angie 💘

[@AngieHolden]

Yes the dream box would be dreamy!! HA!

[@christinaschuricht8506]

I think I'm considered a craft hoarder too.. 😆.. my supplies are everywhere!.. anywhere from my living room to bedroom to the garage and just a few items even in the kitchen.. you're not alone!

[@kristincook7870]

I have enjoyed your videos so much!! Your tutorials are amazing. I just got an epson printer that I converted to sublimation printer using your tutorial.

[@Waterfall3061]

Great info, thanks Angie! I am going to sign up.

[@rebeccahumphreys6843]

Great advice! I am getting started and trying to navigate the legal side of things so I can go to craft shows! I always feel like I am missing something and will get in trouble!

[@jackieheaney8246]

Great suggestions. Thank you.

[@happypappy]

5:26 Thank you Angie! Wonderful advice. You’re also passionate about helping others! I just started my Etsy sublimation mug shop (kind of a saturated market) to use my enjoyment for creativity (iPad and Procreate) after a career in a greeting card company. You’ve been an inspiration and a help and your advice in this video is well taken!

[@AngieHolden]

That is awesome! I love that you are making your own designs!

[@Onandpopping23]

I’m so excited you are offering this. Thanks

[@AngieHolden]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@shamikajackson6498]

Hi! I asked a question awhile ago😂😂😂 and I have a laughing face emoji because you told me the reason my sublimation will not press on to my mug because either it’s not a sublimation mug or I don’t have sublimation ink. It’s the mug. Lol I read the box and it’s for infusible ink and it’s a ceramic mug. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ thank you so much 🤗🤗

[@jnjhawaii5879]

Thanks so much for this free class just signed up. I started with my business last year, did a TON of craft shows, most of them weren’t worth my money/time.

[@AngieHolden]

I hope the camp helps!

[@ndwcreations]

I'm excited just signed up

[@AngieHolden]

Yay!

[@mimisat7996]

The problem in handmade crafts is that I can't take a lot of orders at once . How can I handles other clients wanting my products when I'm full with orders? . Because it takes a lot of time to get the orders done.

[@AngieHolden]

Definitely an issue! Can you hire help? Even a local high school or college student to package orders could free your time.

[@mimisat7996]

@@AngieHolden thanks for your reply. Yes I think the only solution to grow the business is to hire help

[@leighannberger5999]

Hi Angie is there another camp that will be coming up anytime soon? I really need to learn all that I can. Thank you!!

[@AngieHolden]

It will be January 2024. You can also head to craftbusinessprep.com to see the course I made!

[@leighannberger5999]

@@AngieHolden Thank you so much!

[@PAndrew002]

Hi Angie. Thank you for all of your videos. Very helpful. My question at the time is how does a person find quality products at wholesale prices at a cost low enough to where they could make a profit?

[@AngieHolden]

I find that shopping around and ordering samples from retailers is the best way to find where price meets quality.

[@veritawallace6051]

Boy, do I need this Camp! Do you have a link for us to go to and get a better idea of each day’s agenda? By the way, Angie, I live in Holden, MO! Looking forward to learning!

Which do you prefer, Etsy or Shopify? I stopped using Etsy when they started charging sales tax and giving priority search to those who offer free shipping. I don't really sell online right now, mostly through social media and word of mouth. Great tips in this video, thank you!

[@AngieHolden]

Gosh it depends. I do like Shopify but it is way more complicated!

[@tinajimenez6336]

Can we still get access to all the class information for a fee? I missed the classes even though I had a free ticket?

[@AngieHolden]

Can you email [e-mail] and let us know what issues you are having?

[@Beckyp1601]

Hi Angie! A bit weird of a question. Without opening an Etsy shop or “starting a business” is there a way to sell just a few items at a time? I love to make Christian shirts, cards & I just started using a mug press. I’m recovering from cancer & I can’t commit to my own business right now. I don’t have Facebook & only 2 followers on instagram. So that’s not an option. I know I haven’t given you a whole lot to work with 😅.

[@AngieHolden]

I definitely think that is possible. You can just sell on Facebook in a group where you add local friends and sell through word of mouth.

[@Beckyp1601]

@@AngieHolden Great idea! Thanks! 😊

[@joleneuccello3588]

What are the times of these classes?

[@AngieHolden]
