creating my FIRST online store ! creating the website, crocheting, launching the shop

[@collectingducks]

universe being free is crazy, there’s so much to do

[@elllie3630]

Oh that is so cool congrats. Also checked the website out and it's really cool love the color themes

[@isthatachicken]

You know what? Thank you SO MUCH for using your sponsor to build a website in real time with us because now I am more likely to try it for myself when the time comes💛✨ Edit: just checked out your website and it is so cuuuuute Edit 2: on desktop, I'm having a little bit of trouble scrolling down to see the item price [using a touchpad mouse so I drag the pointer/cursor to scroll down because it wouldn't scroll when I used my up and down buttons] (I ended up opting to zoom out to 30% so I could see the bottom of the page. HOWEVER, I think the website operates fine on mobile and I can scroll through everything else perfectly. I don't think this is an issue on your end or even your fault, again, the shop is so cute💛)

[@ikoxun]

thank you !! I messed up a tad bit on the customization on some of the pages where it would cut off a lot of the page so i had to go back and fix it. But I hope you do definitely try for yourself when you're ready

[@isthatachicken]

@@ikoxun aah thank you😭😭

[@alexandrastrange5875]

Just bought the fall beanie despite this heat. So excited for future launches!!

awww omg thank you so much 🥺🥺🥺 i’ll be shipping it out today or tomorrow

[@shelbyclemence641]

Congratulations!! You've come such a long way on your channel! I just wanted you ask you a quick question about crocheting: When you crochet, how do you manage to keep: animal hair, your own hair, and just other things like dirt, grass, leaves (when/if you crochet outside) and things that just fly around in the air out of your crochet projects? I have three cats and sometimes when they shed, if can fly in the air and manage to get stuck to my yarn and crocheted in my project!! If you have any tips, please share!!

[@ikoxun]

if i’m creating a piece for other people or for sale, i make sure to vacuum the area first, lint roll my clothes, and then make sure i work in an area that i just cleaned & santized as well as closing the door so my dog can’t come in. my dog has really long hair so i have to do those extra preparations . but even then, a hair or two is bound to pop up 🥴

[@shelbyclemence641]

@@ikoxun Thank you! I will definitely try these!!

[@Spud0325]

I have three cats and two dogs, I often have to sit down with a pair of tweezers and pluck out hairs after completing a project 🥲

[@shelbyclemence641]

@@Spud0325 Yeah thats what I've been doing lol! Ive been taking hairs out as I go so its doesnt get crocheted into my project! What I've started doing is crocheting at my desk which is too tall for my cats to jump on so it's made a huge difference!

[@zaniergriego1110]

This video was very inspiring and is encouraging me to finally create my own website!

[@ikoxun]

yess do it! you have nothing to fear!

[@cream118]

The shop is so pretty ! Love the colors and you were able to set it up so nicely!! Having your own site feels like such a big step when getting into being a shop/business ! Very happy for you : )

Ofc im a little to young and dont hv the experience in crochet i need but this will help me once i gain that experience! Thank you so much for this! Also ur shop looks incredible! I love the leg warmers especially✨

[@AudriansArt]

[@collectingducks]

omg it took me two or three days to make one tote bag, you’re so quick!

[@AnbarintheUS]

This must be the most effective video I've ever seen on youtube in the domain of croheting, especially because you took the time to explain practically everything💌 I also checked out your website, and it's so adorable🤍the only issue was that I couldn't access the shop page but anyway, you have now a new follower, and KEEP IT UP

[@viimayhem_]

[@sydgia2404]

Thank you so much for making this video!!! I really want to make my own shop one day. If I were to use your patterns like say for a tote bag, would I be able to sell that product? I think you should make a video also in pattern writing :)

[@ikoxun]

yes you can :)

[@chuusheart1538]

IM OBSESSED WITH THE NEW HAIR.

[@alinatr2693]

I'm so happy you did it,the shop looks so cute and very simple to understand/navigate☺👍🏻 I'm a really creative person,I do different things like crochet,watercolor,embroidery,stamp carving,acrylic paintings and more. I always wanted to create a shop,but 1. I have no idea of the whole shipping process 2.scared no one buys stuff 3. No idea how to calculate product costs and how much I should charge 4. Scared I can't make a item the same way,I did the item before 4. How to advertise it 😬 Note: PLEEEAAASE stretch before and after you crochet something,It really helps❤

[@ikoxun]

hey…i don’t either 😭 i’m literally just figuring everything out as I go but hopefully when i record the process it’ll leave you with some tips and tricks for your own shop :,)

[@trex_go3473]

I'm soooo happy for you n love your crocheting I hope your business goes far best of luck girlll 👍

[@anabeatrizpaiva4038]

If it becomes a flop, you also don't need to give up on your project. Take a step back, study, analise it. What went wrong? What can I change? What can I improove? And keep going.

[@ac3ifix]

Just a bit curious If I where to ask for a cardigan commission (if you end up doing them) And I asked for the impeccable yarn + asked for specific colors and sizing If you could give me a base price (like an idea on how much it would cost) How much do you think it would be?

[@hopeworld.flor0875]

Hey! Thanks for the video. If I create my online store and someone places an order, where must I take the product to be shipped??

[@ikoxun]

you can take it to your local postal office! idk if you live in the US or not, but any place like usps, ups, fedex (though usps is the cheapest). and with this website, you can add all the shipping info online so all you have to do is print the label and then tape it to the box and just drop it off at the postal office. i believe it should tell you which one to go to specifically on the website though :)

[@chuusheart1538]

Are you ok with people using your patterns and then selling them on their own small business?

[@cheetopuffz6237]

That's cool. It looks like it would be an enjoyable process for making a website, with that app. Compared to coding, and other options for more experienced users, Universe looks beginner friendly. The sound effects definitely lowers the stress levels, and it sounds like Animal Crossing, which is always a bonus.😻 So cool that ikoxun is trying something like this. It's inspiring to me, since I crochet and want to branch out as well. First time seeing Universe, so I'll definitely check it out. 🫶
