HOW I PRICE MY PRODUCTS! ETSY & AMAZON PRICING / MAXIMIZE PROFITS!

[@Ladyvscraftique]

You are amazing! That’s why God has blessed you with a good business because you’re not the type of person that won’t give us tips on what we need to start a business. Trust me when I say that I have asked other people and they don’t answer Or Basically just say straight out look on your own. Thanks again and I got continue to bless your business.

[@JenniferGreenfieldRealtor]

I have an MBA and also have sold online since 2012 - I just wanted to compliment that you are a great resource for many aspects of selling handmade online. Your tips are perfectly on point.

[@ClubMayaLove]

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been wanting to create an Etsy shop for the longest time but didn’t know where start. I recently purchased a sewing machine and it should arrive on Tuesday! I have been doing vinyl shirts for family and I’m ready to start sharing it to the world... lol! You are so articulate and very helpful to your viewers! Thank you again for putting together these videos with your busy schedule!

[@BlueRaven_71]

This video is just what I needed in order to understand pricing items. Thank you for taking the time to film it. I'm new to Machine Embroidery and I'll be making embroidered quilts and other small items and I can wasn't sure how to price things.

[@kimberges8169]

I just started watching your videos. They are excellent. Quick question: How do you price out your tutus?

[@alop08]

Which machines do you have ? I see you have three machines there which one is the best ? Why ? Thanks for sharing!!

[@machouston6448]

Hi Angela, This particular video is extremely intuitive and an incredibly important one as well, because as you said selling or pricing your product to high you only have very few sales, to low you make no money at all and you would be working for free but also you, are in a minus category because of the materials you had to purchase in the first place to make the said product with and sometimes you might break even, with reference to all materials purchased but your in a minus category again when it comes to your time and labour. So doing your own research is absolutely paramount if you not only want to make money, but critical if you want your business to be able to grow and be profitable for the short term and most importantly for the future, Thank you once again for this truly and incredibly thought provoking video.

[@3rdandMainBags]

Love how you broke it down..thanks needed this

[@MsGee-rb5tj]

Angela, thanks for the insight and inspiration. I'm just getting back in the "embroidery" field since before the pandemic. I've been watching your videos and got inspired in applique. I 1st puchased a 1-needle and now I puchased a 4-needle. I'm about to open a pop-up shop in a Flea Market. If all goes well, I hope to advance to a larger site. Thanks again for the guidance. Keep doing what you do. God Bless.

[@mamatosh05]

Thanks for sharing. Can you do a video on your equipment?

[@cwinterl]

Thank you so much for all of the advice and direction you give to us. It is appreciated so so so much!! Like others, I would LOVE to see a video about your machines. What you started with and what you upgraded with, pricing, accessories, etc. Pretty please! :)

[@MariaColon879]

Don't forget to factor in the expense of your equipment like your embroidery machine and the maintenance, your heat pressscissors, forceps etc. Embroidery machines and repair of such is not cheap.

[@sandhillmom2]

This is huge and not included in the work up at all. Very disappointing.

[@annwright8665]

Oh repairs ! I do mine I took a class when I bought mine and got the book mostly written in Korean. I had a refresher class after 10 years and still the same just newer tips! I like the talk on pricing. Yes whole lot more to add in is machine, electrical storage you have inventory. Lots to go through. God bless you

[@freeofusmartinez5199]

Love your video can you make a video on how much to charge for vinyl shirts size of vinyl color ect

[@diane-countryhut]

- there is also the cost of the machines + maintenance - also other notions that are needed - scissors - bobbin thread - stabilizer , etc . . the list goes on . .oh dear

[@jimmiehilliard8253]

Diane - CountryHut all of that you’re saying is a write off at the end of the year

[@diane-countryhut]

@@jimmiehilliard8253 --- if you count ''every'' penny -- yep it sure is -- example --- at my heat press -- I have 2 pairs of scissors -- one for cutting paper -- one for cutting transfers ------ at the fabric cutting machine -- same - at each of my embroidery machines -- I have at least 4 pairs x's 2 machines -- at my sewing machine - I have 6 pairs . . - then the different size screw drivers -- oh my -- the list can go on . ..lol . . . oh yes - take every deduction you are entitle to . .js

[@sandradelacruz9493]

Thank you for all your videos, and paying it forward.

[@patmoh4204]

Dear Angela you are amazing. I believe you will achieve greater youtube audience as you are generous in sharing your knowledge.

[@PATCHBOYDARB]

Glad to see your business doing well. Maybe I’ll get to that point one day. But for now I’m just doing patches.

[@Maria-sg3zn]

What's your business name, do you make any kind of patches or only names?

[@TheSmdl]

You also have to do an amortization of your machines and equipment.

[@53sandie]

This is only the second video of yours that I’ve watched and I thank yo so much for your valuable information. Very practical 😊❤️

[@AngelaJasmina]

Glad it was helpful!

[@karenderbes5943]

Question: do you not use stabilizer? That is an additional expense when embroidering. I was just wondering how much you figure in for that too???

[@janetlvasquez2179]

You are very inspiring I learned more from you than the actual cricut sites and other KZbin videos.

[@ElleMaree731]

Love your channel. Do you have a link to your press.

[@kristinajohnson8421]

Thank you for this video, I’m in the beginning stage of starting an Etsy page and this was on thing that made me hesitate to start. I appreciate your advice on all of this

[@cindylopez6587]

How do I embroidery an athletic letter A in three different colors

[@tkarlmann]

Very well done. I would help to see one of your shirts. Are you just adding a logo? Do you print a large image on the shirt's front? Are these children's t-shirts?

[@AngelaJasmina]

Hi! Yes I use children shirts! No adult shirts yet! AJblanks.com

[@kimsmith6368]

Angela thank you so much for this video. It was very informative and helpful.

[@mommadailyexperiments4522]

Pricing was a big question for me. I sell items on eBay and Mercari... Mercari not so much recently but pricing has been an issue. You explained this subject very well. so Thank you thank you I thank God for your videos They have been inspirational to me Keep up all the hard work God's grace

[@TheFrontyardgarden]

[@denisebrown9564]

Luv, luv this video!!! Thanks for sharing all your tips and knowledge of your craft. You are AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!

[@vet9863]

Your video about pricing was sooooo helpful. I always thought pricing was hard and intimidating, but the way you described how and where to buy supplies open my eyes up. At least I have an idea about where I should start. Thank you😊

[@AngelaJasmina]

Yay! I am glad I could help ☺️

[@brendasaxton3492]

Hi Angela, this is very good information, thank you so much!!!

[@glitterngloss13]

Such a great video!!! Thank you so much for doing it.

[@Crys_Kris]

I haven't seen you do the following, but doesn 't hurt to ask. Would you consider receiving a black/white chiild drawn picture, scan and make a shirt or even a pillow cover embroidered with their drawing on it? great keepsake. just thought about it, becuase it's something I'd want to buy. Also, I did have a jewelry piece done this way. Although it's adorbale and never worn, it's already turn a darkish color :( An accent pillow cover woould be so cool. or even if you do this same thing you're doing but on a pillow cover. My kid would love anything with her name on it hehe

[@camacholety]

Thanks for this detailed information!! It will come in handy once I start my shirt business!!

[@melaniebevans3036]

Thank you so much for this video. You are so on point about pricing and I appreciate your honesty.

[@kirstiegreen6557]

Hi Angela, thanks for the video. Question, what about taxes?

[@anaalmodovar6216]

You such an amazing person ❤️

[@debbiedempsky8160]

Also need to factor in the cost of your machines, tables, storage units, sewing supplies, cost of website, computers for designs, etc.

[@karenderbes5943]

Thanks for this great useful information! What about the cost of your machines? How do you figure in for that?

[@kristinarochford1741]

Amen! I’m just starting and doing a single needle 4x4 embroidery and yes yes yes do I need an upgrade hahaha

[@lisathompson9585]

What's the best way to price sublimation mugs?

[@karenderbes5943]

Where do you get your stackable bins from?

[@janpointer8143]

This was such a helpful video. Thank you

[@nievewhite4291]

Which embroidery machines do you use ? Also what would you recommend for someone just starting a home business?

[@kimsmith6368]

Start out with PE770 or PE800

[@nievewhite4291]

Thanks:)

[@mariannewilliams138]

What tripe of business licenses are needed for the business

[@aaronl731]

Hi I am new to your channel. The information you just gave was helpful. Continue the good work 👍🏽

[@kathymize6069]

What brand of onesies do you use? Want a good weight fabric but better than those paper thin Gerber's. Many thanks. Also onesies for 1-3 months.

[@workmotivation5615]

Love you gurl thanks for the tip

[@janetmckinney2487]

thank you for your time.

[@dawee-crochetconnoisseurn2758]

Love watching your videos 💕💕

[@suzannebutler5860]

How do I get your video on setting up a shop of Etsy, and how much does it cost?

[@Twinmama143]

HI Angela, I just got my cricut and I'm ready! Where should I buy my vinyl from?

[@brownsuga7461]

Hello beautiful angel, I just finished watching your latest video and wanted to say thank you very much for the informative information and I'm going to purchase some ribbon from you soon. Blessings and grace to you and your family and the bundle of joy too

[@jenreu]

How about the electric bill? That's 1 think to count here too. Thank u for the vdo!

[@AngelaJasmina]

The electric bill is only about $80 a month and I make about 400 shirts a month so about $.02 cents a shirt

[@jenreu]

Ooh! Thats really cheap! Here in my country its not like that! Wonderful. 😍😍

[@Vicki-g9h]

How about items that require hardware and zippers?

[@SweetThreadsGifts]

Thanks for another great video!

[@LisaDay1]

In another video you talked about how you priced your items lower when you first started your business. If you have time and the interest would you make a video about that?

[@adrifran93]

Hi Angela, omg you inspired me 2 questions: How did you learn so much on embroidery? Do you need a license to sale online or permits tax id#?

[@niizumaeiji1587]

Thank you

[@erin.olliart]

When you start selling on Etsy do you have to already have a business license? And tax id? Also do you notice that your multi needle machines are stable on the stands or do they shake a lot? ((Can’t wait to get a separate stand for mines and get it off my desk))

[@AngelaJasmina]

Hi! No you don’t need a business license to sell on Etsy :) the machines are stable on the stands!

[@ivybichon8582]

Do you buy polyneon from Madeira.

[@normachuela5831]

love your video, where did you get your heat press from.

[@AngelaJasmina]

USCUTTER.com

[@normachuela5831]

Angela Jasmina thanks

[@normachuela5831]

one more thing what in embroidery machine do u recommend

[@tonyastokley5165]

I have a question ! What and when would we need to use the brilliance I notice a lot in the items ? I have a Viking jade I just bought prier to being motivated by your videos ! My hubby has lost his leg and he is out of work and I have order blanks as much as I could afford and thread and I’m going to order the vinyl and the heat and bond lite ! I am trying to stick to the basics ! Is there any way I could start out smaller on on my ribbon ? Everything else adds up ! We have a flea market by us too so I’m praying I’ll get blessed and be able to sell the tutus and shirts and maybe even make some side items but I grabbed a lot like ten colors of tulle and now I need the ribbon ! I want my what I make to be quality ! And I really wanna buy all the ribbon u have to start but is there a couple colors that would work good at first to get some $ back so I can afford to move up ? I’ve got so many colors and I need this ribbon and I’ve priced and your is very close to the others that is better or not even as good ! But I need to many colors lol by the way ty I am so motivated by you ! And I’ve lost my girl and my mom and now this man stays in the hospital and you motivate me ! I’ve always been a stay at home mom and I really wanna make this work ! Others do !

[@JasmineJordyn]

Thanks for making this video, I was just talking to my mom about pricing.

[@Fundoracarpentry]

My question is if I’m going to sale the same product on amazon that I’m selling on Etsy ,would the price on amazon be higher as the fees on amazon are more

[@AngelaJasmina]

Yes amazon should be a little higher to take into consideration the higher fees!

[@sonyatoolooze6580]

How do you ship a tutu?

[@LeeLeeLove222]

You didnt even add in the price of the machine, (use, upkeep, initial investment) I think your prices are amazing, and this video was so informative and helpful. thank you!

[@SlowDownandTurnHere]

Are you using large cones Embroidery thread or Serger thread from Joanns?

[@AngelaJasmina]

Large embroidery thread (Madeira)

[@jessicachavez2425]

Angela, what about newbie starters with not a lot of customers. Samples on t shirts seems a bit costly if they don’t end up being bought. Should I embroider on them with no name? 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@AngelaJasmina]

Hi! You can purchase cotton knit fabric from Joann's... it is very good material that is similar to t-shirts and saves you a lot of money its $11.99 a yard I can make about 8-10 sample designs!

[@jessicachavez2425]

Angela Jasmina thank you so much for responding to this!!! I have actually been doing this, but kept talking myself down about it thinking people would want to see the whole shirt folded out or something and stopped doing them. But I will keep at it!!! 🙂🙂🙂

[@kimsmith6368]

Sometimes Joanns has tshirts for 2.00. Just get a couple and applique a number on them. Kids sizes r usually their age. Ir just make a 2T with #2 and use as a sample

[@GluePaperScissors]

Jessica Chavez hi Jessica. How do you like your Ricoma? How long have you had it?

[@missaja1559]

Thank you this was definitely helpful 🙂🙌🏾

[@loganhouse6660]

This is great but do you usually take an hour to make one shirt? Even on just one single head machine surely you can do more than that in an hour?

[@AngelaJasmina]

Hi! Almost all applique shirts do take about 45 mins to an hour! They can even take longer! Especially on a single needle machine since you have to change colors!

[@stephaniegines3267]

Thank you so much!!!

[@brendawootenporter]

great info!! thanks so much

[@tonirochell2933]

Thank you soooooo much for sharing such wonderful information 😁 My only problem with the video is your shirt....IT'S TOO CUTE!!! I've been distracted the whole time 😂 You look amazing in that color 🥰💯

[@AngelaJasmina]

hahahaha thank you!

[@MariaColon879]

I just watched Eve on TheBabysBooty (her YT channel). She is in Charlotte NC. She said that there is a thread factory in Gastonia NC who will be closing at the end of December. They are selling all of their thread at 40% off. Their large spools that are about $7 are now going for about $4 each and she said they have every color you can imagine. The name is Long River Mills. Watch her vlog from tonight.

[@MariaColon879]

I'm sorry I meant Long Creek Mills. They are on line.

[@robinbryant9783]

Awesome information!! Tfs

[@TheLizardsink]

How do you get business?? Any help How do you get online.

[@linvin18]

Can I ask, do you get many returns? Some people are hard to please or they change there mind, then you get those that say its lost in the post. Have you experienced these things. Love watching you create, and your children are adorable.

[@swalwayssmile1000]

Hi Angela, thanks for the info....tfs

You’re very motivating...😊

[@AngelaJasmina]

[@cquiyahssewincloset]

Please tell me what you mean by tender touch?

[@AngelaJasmina]

Tender touch is what I use to cover the back stitching so it does not irritate the little ones skin

[@cquiyahssewincloset]

I searched all night on you tube and it was right in my face so thank you.

[@vonzellbatchelder5529]

Can you please reach out to me im so serious about getting started in Embroidery and making T Shirts more so Urban apparel. I have a very good vision on where i want to go with my business. I need more knowledge as far as is it better to get financed through like Melco rather than spending all your cash.

[@jessicachavez2425]

I’m such a fabric hoarder!! 🤣

[@ticker1963]

I could probably beat you on that!😆

[@jessicachavez2425]

Momma Bear it’s a terrible addiction! Lol

[@ticker1963]

It is but I am in deep already, how do you break it? Only because I don't have a car today...I am not at the fabric store, today i am sewing.👍You know, it makes us happy right!? And we could have a worse habit, so we're not doing so bad. We might just need to work out something for a bigger house😄

[@LillyVeeee]

Your videos are addictive. Lol

[@AngelaJasmina]

haha thanks for watching :)

[@favoured80]

So... I use repurposed fabric for my projects.... like used clothes for fabric.... so it all comes down to my labor.... so how much is my labor worth????

[@JasmineJordyn]

Hey Angela, I have a random question. I ordered a gator bite two weeks ago, and it still hasn’t shipped. Do you remember how long it took for them to send yours?

[@AngelaJasmina]

It took almost a month and a half for me to get it

[@JasmineJordyn]

Wow. Thank you for the fast response!

[@AngelaJasmina]

Thank you for the coffee!

[@debbiekidd2839]

Where did you order it from?

[@JasmineJordyn]

Debbie Kidd lookatmebaby.com, but yesterday I got an email saying that my order was cancelled and they are under new management. So I would wait a minute until they get their stuff together

[@msadiq247]

Hi there are you trying to tell me that you run $100,000 business all by yourself? Girl you are a superwoman!

[@tammiejames2051]

You need to figure out a price to replace/repairs your machine/ machines because eventually you will have too and also electric to run them as well.

[@mommymoses2003]

How many item I need to put on esty to sell

[@AngelaJasmina]

I always suggest a full page so I believe it’s 30-33
