Hello! I am 15 and I’m also a small business owner. I actually sort of started my sticker business inspired by your story during quarantine . Good job and thank you so much for the tips❤️

[@paisleymadison1624]

[@taylorrankine]

[@freyaxoxo4744]

[@taylorrankine]

TYSM!!

[@kenny7785]

make a tutorial on how you make your jewelry Please!!!! I want to start a business and I want to know how you make your stuff!

[@mariahl1415]

Oh my gosh! I love you and your shop. I just turned 13 and your business is my goal. I have a jewelry Etsy shop and just hit 10 sales! I’ve had it for a few months now and it’s been pretty slow but I’m working on it! It’s so hard though because I have no social media and no way to market my business. Being as successful with an actual website would be a dream! Being an entrepreneur is my goal and would absolutely love to have a successful business. Can you please post more?!!❤️❤️ any advice??

[@ivyrose9813]

I love ur personality. Ur so chill.😏

I'm also 14. I don't have a business, but you're doing great! :D

[@taylorrankine]

Haha Thanks!

[@nicolefranco602]

hi, I was reading the Etsy Terms and policies and it says when you have a shop open with them you can’t manage another at the same time ( I hope this makes sense. )

[@christinereddy3622]

Your videos are absolutely fantastic. Thanks for the insight. I would love a video on tips on setting up a shopify account and pros and cons between an etsy shop vs Spotify.

[@taylorrankine]

Great suggestion!

[@priyabhawnani8451]

I asked you a question yesterday in the comments. Did you got that as now it is not been show. If you got that then plz answer it.🙏🙏

[@Morganw2010]

You sound so mature! U go girl! Bossgirl

[@thecrimmins9325]

Everything is so cute on your site! You are such an inspiration, being able to manage a successful business and keep up with a normal life! I also think you’re really smart with your branding!I really want one of your bracelets, but there isn’t a bracelet tab when I click jewelry? Thanks!

[@taylorrankine]

Thank you! And right now we don’t have any bracelets up on the site ❤️

How do you market your shop? do you have any marketing budget?

[@eggyeolk6512]

Hi I have a question! Do you have to pay taxes? If so, how to you deal with them? Also, did you have to register your business as a, well, business even though it's just a small online shop? Were there any other legal steps you had to take? I'm also 14 and I'm thinking about starting an etsy shop but I'm worried about having to pay taxes and all of the other legal steps I'd have to take, especially because I don't have my parents' premission :( Edit: Another question: how do you accept payments? Do you use your private bank account or do you have a PayPal account?

[@angelinarattini1333]

Can you do a video on how you make your business cards please? It would really help me!

[@taylorrankine]

yeah!

[@kellymea537]

How do you handle school and you’re business?

[@taylorrankine]

A lot of time management!

[@genac4561]

You need to put your shopify link in the description

[@taylorrankine]

you’re right ty!

[@immymercer]

You inspired me to start my business @wavesinstyle 🤍

[@taylorrankine]

Love that!

[@daretoskate]

I was so sad when I went to go buy something off of your etsy like a month ago and it was GONE I couldn't find it and I thought that I was going insane! XD

[@taylorrankine]

hahaha!

[@amandaasr16]

Wait I just commented but I have a question please: you mentioned that some items you make and some you buy like the rings etc..how do you decide which items to make yourself and which to outsource? I'm in the process of starting a business and don't know how to choose. I'm assuming it's just whatever you cannot make you outsource?

[@taylorrankine]

Yep! I make everything I can.. but sometime will come upon things I love and want to outsource.. so really do whatever your gut tells you to!

[@amandaasr16]
