Hi Tim - I have enough experience browsing youtube videos in the “scalable income” niche to tell you that you come across as genuine, humble & smart - all the qualities your audience appreciates and gets inspiration from. I don’t usually comment on videos, but you display that level of integrity that just sparked me to add my words of praise to the long list you have already received!

[@MsAmazonForest]

Amen. He is great.

[@Back_To_Basics]

I just want to say thank you to you for inspiring me to start my Etsy shop seven months ago. It has provided me with extra income monthly that I otherwise would’ve had. I always derive so much value from watching your videos and wish you well in life and in all of your future endeavours.

[@bones10x]

What did you start with in terms of product?

[@JohnThePA]

After I bought a sticker myself, I was inspired to start an Etsy sticker shop. I then noticed some people copying my custom, hand-drawn designs with poor quasi-photoshopped works. I've made 100 sales in 2 months, which I find a success since I just started... but the competition is fierce. I think starting a Shopify store and directing repeat customers there is a good move because, ultimately, you control the sales platform, and your competitors aren't trying to compete with you there.

[@tanyagibson7965]

As a 50 year old creative, who has wanted to go after my passion/dreams for years, but has had every reason, whether justified or an excuse to put it, and myself on the back burner, I can tell you, that your authenticity, and kind personality, has truly inspired me to not give up. I love your transparency. I trust what you bring to the table, and I can't express enough, the impact it's having on my mindset. I can see why you're successful, and it doesn't come across as bragging. I view it as education, with the benefit of someone incredibly easy to listen to. I look forward to your content. Thank you so much!

[@catilovedylan1969]

YOU ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PERSON !!!! The greatest contribution you have to the world is trying to help people. ❤️ u are amazing x

[@qwerrewq2709]

To be an honest person and want to give your audience value it's a great thing and I appreciate that. You got my rare SUBSCRIPTION! continue with these types of videos they are very inspirational.

[@adntigger71015]

I love how Tim makes more talking about making stickers than actually making them. 🤣 In all seriousness, though, this is actually one of the most valid revenue streams for decades. This is why you see people making more money advising people how to buy and sell real estate than actually doing it themselves. Sales of e-books, master classes, etc. Lesson: learn how to do something well, then teach people how to do it too.

[@AnnaKincaid]

Love the video as usual! Thank you for being so inspiring and transparent.

[@CebiGreen]

Congrats Tim! This is truly an inspiration.

[@alexandervanlohen4229]

Your kindness and support are really what I love most about your videos. Thank you for sharing and spreading hope!

[@stellarium7195]

Love how honest and insightful all your videos are! and genuinely so happy that people like you success on anything they decide to do! Thanks for all the info! 🥰

[@DruckLuc]

Thanks for sharing, Tim. It’s so valuable for us.

[@xuankai1747]

A very inspiring review of your 2022 progress Tim! Hope 2023 will be a better year for all of us to have more fun!

[@amandasong9663]

I love how clear you are about your journey! Really inspiring! Good work Tim. The world is truly a better place with people like you!

[@DoingWhatever]

This was one of the best videos on this topic that I’ve seen - very inspirational! Thanks Tim! You’ve given me some new motivation to continue making progress every day on my side hustles!

[@Pao-ob1jp]

Thanks Tim, for your cander and full transparency👍 Very much appreciated ❤

[@kyleguilven]

Thank you for sharing, Tim! Love seeing realistic expectations of personal and financial growth in a short amount of time. So valuable and inspirational, ready to take 2023 head on!

[@mrcleanjeen]

amazing man, love to see it thanks for sharing your experiences and being honest and humble. it's nice to see good people that care out there still.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Really great story. We actually share a lot in common in this endeavor. Just want to tell you I really like what you’re doing. I Ordered some stickers for my kids. Just keep killing it man. This channel really strikes a chord with me and I just wanted to let you know your efforts are really respected from someone else who is pursuing a career in the same space!! Chris

[@kristyrivers3470]

Thankyou so much for sharing your journey with us. I appreciate the format of your videos. You explain your process in a way that is engaging without being overhyped or click bait. It is very soothing and inspiring. My own progress has been very slow but you have helped me to keep going and make plans to expand my own etsy shop and various other endeavors. I have no doubt that you will be successful in your goals and I really look forward to seeing your progress.

[@sylviatorres8965]

Hello Tim, I’ve been watching your videos for some time now. I just like how you’re so honest, humble and your willing to pay it forward is highly appreciated. You have given me some encouraging information that have inspired me. In saying it’s not as hard as you may think. You can do this! I really would like to say that your videos are very Sincerely and transparent in your honesty helping your audience and for that. I Thank You 😊

[@staciedawn8287]

I love your videos! They have the most real content that I feel like really motivated me to start my own new business.

[@magikfrog2]

Such a good video! I love these when you upload them. Thank you.

[@RailinX]

Love your videos! Your channel has grown so fast due to your incredible work ethic and humble personality.

[@bryinasia]

Thank you very much for sharing Tim. Ive just opened my etsy store a few weeks ago and have been watching a lot of etsy content and i have to say youre one of my favs! Thanks for sharing your process with the rest of us and for helping us step into our own businesses ☺️

[@ShainaPark]

Hey Tim, i don’t know if you will see this but ever since I found your channel, I really enjoy watching your content and you quickly became one of my favorite KZbinrs. Your videos are so inspiring and it’s so nice to hear someone speak about entrepreneurship and their process from such an understanding standpoint and calming tone. I really hope to see more videos from you in the future :)

[@CatzzMoney]

Tim. I've been watching your videos last year and it inspired me to create my own Etsy shop. Learned a lot of tips from you. Just want to say thank you and keep up the grind!

[@wittworks]

thank you Tim! you've been a huge inspiration. I'm thinking of doing a similar video. I started in Feb of 2021 too!

[@dqnh00]

Hi Tim! Im so grateful to have come across your channel a while back! Thank you for continually sharing so much genuine content! What you said about the venture after your sticker shop and adding value to the world really resonated! Wishing you all the success and happy new year!

[@christopherbarros6197]

I love that you share everything. Def not bragging it's inspiring. Keep doing you bro!

[@sohfihamid4164]

It is definitely inspiring and really helpful. It is never a flex to share something which benefits anyone who is pursuing side hustles.

[@lizziemoo2502]

Tim, Thank you for your video. You come across as extremely genuine and sincere in what you say and I really appreciate your transparency. You have inspired me to continue on developing my etsy shop, which is starting to take off now. Please continue to make videos such as this.

[@dawsonhuang5218]

Hi Tim, I want to say thank you for being very clear and transparent in your videos. Your calm demeanour and overall bubbly personality are why I love your channel! Keep on doing what you do because you are seriously underrated!

[@christinamccreary2120]

Thanks Tim! I found that this information was inspiring! No bragging on your part at all! Thanks for sharing.

[@leonielynnedaano4134]

I actually watched 4 videos of you today. I came across one of your videos and found myself clicking every other related video you made. Thank you.

[@LL-ex1gp]

I was just thinking I hadn’t seen you pop up in my feed and here you are! Thank you for all your wonderful videos, encouragement and advice. This video made it seem like it’s really possible in a shorter timeframe than one might imagine. Hope you have a Happy New Year!

[@monkeyd6690]

Hey man, Came across your video looking for set up to start stickers biz. The part I actually enjoyed the most was when you shared how you reflect on yourself and aspirations for your life. Nothing braggy here appreciate your honesty and kindness. May God bless u

[@FocusSquirrel]

Thanks Tim! You are very transparent, and I'm sure it was a risk to your Etsy business, but you have informative content that is very motivating!

[@JoshuaCMcMahon]

Tim, I love when creators show the backend of what they’re doing with hard numbers. Keep them coming.

[@johnzhibai]

Your entire channel feels like what I might went through within these two years , I don’t how to place it but it is just so so so relatable every video that you make especially the first one you’re like the exact blueprint of what my future will look like

[@texasgirlmomx2342]

Thanks Tim. Great video. I can agree on the 20-30 hr point to learn a new skill. I knew nothing about self publishing, but over the last week, with 4-6 hours a day, I've learned enough to publish a medium content book with proper formatting and a great cover. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@mariuspetrea5360]

Tim, thank you very much. I am also looking for some side hustle ideas and ways to start and you help me so much. Thank you so much. also I really got inspired by you and what you said "To give more then I take", got stuck with me, God bless you and all the best I wish to you

[@yourfriendintech]

Thanks for being so transparent! I love the mindset switch from 'passive income' to 'scalable income'

[@missplosion2499]

I appreciate how down to earth your video approaches are and how clear the information is presented.

[@mandyturner8703]

I find your videos so helpful please don't stop making them they're truly appreciated thanks so very much!!!😊

[@bekindbesocial]

Your video is just inspiring. I don't know you personally but there is a sense of honesty and truth that go beyond the screen. Thanks for sharing, it helps a lot of viewers who are trying to find they way out.

[@normamccafferty3053]

Not boastful in the least. Informative and inspiring. I’m happy for you. ❤ My husband and I have always appreciated your sharing attitude. Best to you and your family in the new year! ❤ ⭐️

[@agreat8745]

I've enjoyed learning from your content. Thanks for sharing all of your hard work and efforts. Take care.

[@LeslieLe333]

Thanks for sharing your shop. I remember watching one of your vids last year and trying to find your shop on Etsy to support you. That Etsy search was a hot mess. I love your transparency and your observations.

[@vvxshak]

You’re such a great inspiration! Love your positive vibes :)

[@flipflopyeah4591]

This is actually very encouraging and inspiring. I just opened my store in etsy. Still not getting much sales. But I have to remember not to give up too early. I’m starting from scratch with no experience. A lot to learn

[@morgancork]

That was your best video yet! Thanks👍🏻

[@blythstudio]

Thank you so much for sharing this!! Really amazing to see :)

[@dinch_art]

Inspiring me like crazy, Tim! Thank you for being real and sharing

[@r_27P]

Thank you for your honesty and transparency

[@MrGreenbudha]

You and your channel inspired me to start my own online business this year. Thank you!

[@uhmeenah]

I love these videos! Thank you for making them! I’m new to side hustling and digital products and I appreciate your transparency on your earnings. I’ve always wanted to start a side business but I’ve always let fear get the best of me but after losing my job last year, I realized that you can never truly be secure in a salaried job. I hope to be as successful as you in the future and I wish you plenty of more success as well!

[@macopa12]

This is inspiring, indeed. I will let my kids watch this _teens and early 20 - hopefully they will learn from you. Thank you.

[@stephyg20]

Tim, thank you so much! I am honed in and focused on your videos. You have given me so much inspiration and hope for financial security. You videos are filled with tons of value...and also I just like your personality, positive approach and ease. I am looking to start a new path yet I have felt stuck for years. I feel like you have really shaken the paradigm on my way of thinking and how to go about this...growing up in a very traditional career oriented way...yet I feel like the physical demand on such careers always leads me back to the same problem....an achy body by the end of the day and not much financial payoff (I was considering being a baker). As a mother, I also feel a new since of hope for my family. And now I have all these light bulbs going off like...whoa maybe I don't have to do this 'job' finding alone by myself...maybe my husband and I can put our heads together and actually tackle another income...together. I love the idea of being innovative and creative too... I don't know what is in my future, but I will keep watching and learning. Also it's funny to think this is coming back around in life. I wanted to have an etsy shop 20 years ago...and perhaps I just might now...

[@zarasoleil8633]

Thank you for sharing this... I feel super overwhelmed but its inspiring. I mean.... just the equipment alone to shoot quality videos like yours is an incomprehensible investment. I go from being inspired to hopeless to inspired...

[@simonakofanov]

Great video! Love your honesty ❤

[@ClyxqsiivezMusick]

Hi Tim, this is really great video. I subscribed your channel. Keep it Up!

[@Y_Alexandra]

looking forward to seeing what new things you're going to create. I love your soft spoken videos lol they give me peace. Happy new year!

[@TimKoa]

Thanks for watching :)

[@simplypatsy24]

Thanks Tim!! Great video. I just recently closed down my business a week ago that I've been running for 8 years, 5 years as a food truck and 3 years as a brick and mortar. This is the first time I literally have back up plan, scary to most but I'm truly excited about the possibilities w/ my new knowledge and experience. I knew I had to shut down to move on to the next thing in my life and so I made that decision with no regret. Before shutting down, I made it a point to create a side hustle / passive income that I would just have fun with. So I found you through searching videos on how to improve my etsy store. This video spoke to me! Your calm demeanor on explaining your journey is very inspiring. It was a true reminder that anything is possible as long as you put effort into it. Something that most people don't realize is that perseverance is key. Great job and I appreciate you telling your story!

[@kreyolkaligrafi3805]

I love your videos they are so clear and I love your transparency. Uou are really inspiring.

[@chrisdu6053]

Thanks for another great Video Tim.

[@sle142]

Amazing and inspirational video! I loved it happy holidays!

[@Goddessattractor]

You do you with the highest integrity and in an incredibly inspirational way. Nice! 🙏🦋🙏 thank you 😁

[@techlevitategaming]

Very inspiring. I’m still very early on my journey so excited to see the different options you have used to build success. Congrats!

[@merolie]

I’m so happy you are back!

[@hnin.studio]

You’ve got a new follower! Thanks for being authentically you. It is calming to watch and very informative - thanks for putting in the work :-)

[@flproductions90]

I watched one of your videos and managed to punch up three scripts for KZbin that I've been delaying. I am officially subscribed now so thank you so much for your advice and your insight. This is extremely helpful.

[@churchbrand]

Thanks for this. Comes at the perfect time.

[@slimebyharry]

Thanks so much for posting awesome videos. I really appreciate your wholesome content!

[@StickerSavages]

Much love! We have many of our sticker subscribers that tell us it is their FAVORITE part of the month! We aim to just be that little happiness to add a cherry to whatever day you were having, bad or good. No matter your situation we find happiness in creating a tiny little spark in someones day, =]

[@lrcustomspty]

Thanks for sharing, definitely sharing your experience your are contributing to the world!

[@gm64709]

Thank you for sharing your encouragement and stories!

[@LisaMariaBlanco]

Thank you very much for your video. It had been super inspiring for me. I´m on my way to starting a new hustle online and it´s so motivating listening to your advises and experiences. Greetings from Madrid!

[@violet_blue5286]

Thank you for all the knowledge and information definitely motivating ✨️

[@YTparadise]

I think you are a good person and you are on the right track.

[@shane.shares]

Thanks for the inspiration, Tim! I finally published my first KZbin video and hope to stay consistent throughout the year.

[@Som3D]

I am so proud to have subscribed to you man

[@microbusinessowner]

Thank you for a great video. I inadvertently have started a similar path to you this year and I am glad to see it worked for you! Hopefully, with some elbow grease I can also get there some day. Glad I found your content.

[@MetalAges]

I appreciate you "sharing it forward". Doesn't come off as bragging at all. Congrats on your growth! I'm almost 52 and starting over my man (various reasons) - I wish I was 34 again in this day and age, so keep chugging forward, remember that! :D

[@crs.rojas90]

Hey man, I’ve been watching your videos and I’m very inspired to start an Etsy store. Thank you for sharing so selflessly and with so much authenticity. I promise I won’t be another copycat haha

[@MartinDeschambault]

Hey Tim - you're so Canadian :) I say that because I think it's in our nature to care about what we contribute to our community and to our world. The existential 'crisis' we all face when confronting our purpose in life forces us to reflect on what's truly important. As much as people have stolen your ideas, please don't stop making videos and sharing your successes and otherwise. I'm a really good artist and I've been wanting to start something for years, but I can't seem to get those first few steps completed so it's so frustrating. Watching your videos gives me hope, and I'm always just one day away from actually making a side hustle a reality. All the best in 2023!

[@TB-V]

Thank you for all the advice and content.

[@hunlem2156]

I really appreciate you sharing as much as you did in this video! it didn't feel braggy at all. I can honestly relate to your story alot. I had got a 3d printer for xmas last yr and the first thing I did was design a new product for my hobby. I had shared my creation to my reddit hobby group and it went viral. I had made it originally with no intentions of selling it, but everyone was dming asking where could they buy it. your channel was one of the first etsy content channels I came across and your sticker story and content inspired me to list my product on etsy. I directed all the request to buy to my etsy and my store blew up! From Feb 2022-today I have grossed 20k just on etsy with only 3 - 3d printers. I am now also on fb marketplace shipping, ebay, and working on my shopify store. This video has really made me realize I need to start producing content again for my hobby channel. Thanks for being open and honest about your business, it really does help.

[@CommissionerLofi]

Keep leveling up 💪

[@wildgoosedreaming1]

You help us other "regular guys" to rekindled our dreams. Thanks.

[@adntigger71015]

Adding value to the world is exactly how I choose the jobs I accept (along with the company's employee treatment). I TOTALLY understand what you mean by saying running a sticker shop is not the greatest contribution you can make. No judgement here Tim!

[@bellarosepapergarden]

I really enjoy your videos! They have been very helpful in growing my Etsy shop. I have a KZbin channel but not very active, but seeing how successful you have been, I think I will put some time into it again. I'm sorry about the copycats. You are creative so I'm sure you'll come up with another awesome product. I wish you the best! Thank you for providing great content!

[@Flaneusing]

Thank you. Amazing job and very inspiring 🕯️🙏

[@bethpulliam803]

Great video. I love your humility, great attitude, honesty and the way you present yourself and the information you share! It would be great if you made some courses. I would definitely love to take a course from you.

[@austynartistry]

Hi Tim, your videos are really genuine & helpful to a lot of people! I have a question about Etsy listings that doesn't seem to be talked about much- is there a best time to post listings, and should you do it in regular 'batches' or 1x day?

[@Gounesh]

This is as transprent as it gets. Ty!

[@antoniobitt7]

You're awesome! Just not inspires but makes you ACT! Thank you for this!

[@clarakw5571]

Hell yeah your KZbin skills are awesome especially considering you only started such a short time ago 🎉

[@drdanbhcmg]

I believe that you have completely underestimated YOUR contribution to the world by MAKING STICKERS!!! I am pretty sure that at least 81,000 people agree with me. :)

[@creativepm9437]

I am going to be 33 and I can relate to you on the question you asked about "why I am here" and "What is the meaning of life". The question that started it all was "What is Truth?".
