People Do Not Buy Handmade, Also The Joy Of Autonomy In Self Employment

I was going to say, I'd love to see how you do the braiding, but then remembered I'd seen you do a video on making the coasters😊 So that will be my next watch. As for people not valuing handmade. I would have agreed before I started my channel. I find quite a lot of people want to buy what they have seen being made. In my niche anyway. Right off to see you make coasters 😊🤗💜

I will do a few more when I am making them. They make very therapeutic videos!

People will buy handmade if they believe in the person who has made the item or identify with the person who has made the item. I find this very difficult because I can’t find people that fit these categories.

It's about finding the people you gel with from a personality perspective and also very difficult if you only see them on line. That said, price points are a factor for most people. I only know a couple of people who don't worry about price tags when they are shopping and just buy it if they see it but I don't know anyone who only buys handcrafted because it is handcrafted. The handcrafted tag gets used a lot and by a lot of people who aren't really handcrafted so it's hard to find genuine handcrafted.
