Just wanted to say that Paperblanks does fancy journals and sell for $30-40, so you'd be pricing your fancy sketchbooks very fairly!

[@amberdulay7238]

In regards to the sketchbook, I’d rather pay a more premium price for a premium sketchbook. It beats paying big $$ on a gamble, and ending up with a sketchbook that isn’t high quality. But I’m a paper snob, so... LOL

[@viviennart]

In the last few years I used a sketchbook that costs around 16 usd, it was a really nice, thick sketcbook. The papers were a little more on the tan side, but still very light, and the thickness was right in the middle. Also lays flat nicely. I really liked that sketchbook. But now I found another one that is cheaper, around 11 usd. It has 190gsm paper (less pages than the other one though), really thick paper, I love it :D I'll definitely order more of it later. Paper quality matters a lot to me too, so if the sketchbook is really good, I'm willing to pay the price.

[@MagicalMissMikki]

I haven’t ordered anything in awhile because I’ve been unemployed since last June but this weekend is my first payday of my new JOOOOOOB that I started a couple weeks ago so I really wanna try to get a lil something to celebrate 😭❤️

[@BayleeJae]

Congrats on the new job! 🥳

[@quiltknit]

Congratulations 🎊 was there! Now Retired.

[@NeccoWecco]

When you undersell yourself, you rob yourself of your future. I wish more artists would realize that

[@namiyakou]

True, but sadly it's all a cycle... the artist market is so over saturated, the only way to charge any good prices is if you have a following already and a wide reach. If I didn't at least sort of match other people's prices, I'd make zero sales because I am not very well known. Plus it's so hurtful to artists that a lot of stuff can be bought from China for incredibly cheap, and lots of people don't really care whether their item is cheaply made in China, or made with love by an actual artist.

[@NeccoWecco]

​@@namiyakou I think it really depends on where you are advertising. I do not have a large following and I make good money for my art by doing custom commissions. There are people who try to undercut me, but my clients come to me anyway for better quality work. Sometimes your portfolio speaks for itself amongst the competition 💖 Good luck!

[@sam.anna.ash.]

It's not only the labour ... you can also charge for your artistic ability. Cause anyone can make pins or stickers but I'm sure no one else can make your pins and stickers 😊

[@amy-louise4256]

As a long term UK viewer I really hope that there is a work arounf with the VAT as i really love getting your parcels in the mail

[@BayleeJae]

I plan to do whatever it takes to keep with it!

[@JustCallMeInsane]

@@bookwormbon482 Anyone's gov will find out who and who isn't paying VAT/whatever taxes. I would not want to chance it. A fine sounds like it would probably be 10x more than what the actual VAT is owed.

[@allyemmy504]

i dont think you realize how appealing having 2 different kinds of paper colors makes the sketchbooks. it makes it to where you can actually justify getting both designs, because youre getting a different effect with the different paper colors. it definitely made me want to buy both sketchbooks for sure!

[@spacecadetval]

I love hanging out during the packaging streams, its a fun environment, kinda feels like we're all just hanging out!

[@DavidBDMyers]

just a heads up on USPS shipping. There is a back up some items ship alright, but several are getting delayed by months. current issues that they are blaming on Covid. just FYI

[@BayleeJae]

Yeah, I experienced that with my advent calendars.

[@NeccoWecco]

I've had stuff go missing too, which never happened before. I will not be using USPS for the rest of the year, sadly.

[@LadyZodiac76]

USPS is a real mess! I mailed my January rent back in December and my landlord got it February 19th! 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@creaky_swings]

If you drop shipping to the UK, people would be upset but ultimately it's the best thing to do for small businesses. I don't really understand it myself but if you explain, people will understand. (I'm from the UK)

[@wanderlustaesthete4117]

Bayleeeee just wanted to tell you, YOU’RE AWESOME!

[@TheDutchMiranda]

Can confirm this person knows what they are talking about.

[@EmmaFoxArt]

I find you have to be SUPER popular to order more than 100 pins. Mine never sell out that fast, they do sell out eventually, but not like immediately haha. But people who order 50 pins, nope, It's barely a difference to order 50 vs 100 so it's better to just order 100 and slowly sell the excess!

[@OhHaiiLove]

I was handbinding a new sketchbook while watching this 🥰🥰 I love the tips! They’re definitely good for outsourcing products! Messaging Alibaba sellers is the hardest part for my shop 🤣 I hate talking to strangers

[@Ninainoz]

Australia also has a GST 10% and I've noticed if I buy from overseas (even on Aussie Ebay) most are collecting the 10% gst ... even buying digital patterns from the USA for my embroidery machine adds the gst ... and Patreon even takes 10% from me for a monthly pledge of $1 .. so maybe ask about selling to Australia too .

[@MidnightRosie1]

I’d totally buy one of your sketchbooks for 40ish. I pay similar prices for my archer and olives for my bullet journaling.

[@rewyndmakes]

VAT laws are changing for the EU in July 2021 too. As a small business, it's such a pain to try and figure it all out. My accountant is totally clueless on the whole thing.

[@hikori3941]

$40 seems reasonable for a sketchbook, especially one with thick, high quality paper, end papers, etc. I’ll be buying at least 2 😁

[@Aerieana]

Omg! got myself all creeped out after answering the door to nobody there (at 11pm too) but it was just the doorbell sound in the video 😂 it's the exact same as mine. I would've realised sooner if I hadn't been so quick to pause before you said "those might be my paper samples" 🤦‍♀️

[@AcrossTheUniverse343]

About the UK VAT thing, the EU will change their law for VAT too since July 2021. I'm not too sure if it's the same thing but I would ask your accountant about this law coming up too.

[@BayleeJae]

Ah, tartar sauce! 😩

[@amydrawss]

With regards to the uk VAT thing, From Brexit itself, We in the uk are 100% getting charged VAT from the government before receiving goods from abroad i.e Royal Mail, Parcel force (which ever courier) will send a notification to say we need to pay customs/duty on a parcel for x y z, I'm in a discord with a lot of other small businesses across the globe who've sent to the uk and haven't mentioned about them having to add the tax themselves. Not 100% if anyone will follow suit but the government have only done this because we're no longer part of the EU.

[@knz730]

The issue of buying from Chinese manufacturers is such a tricky one. I wish there were global transparency laws where companies had to make salary and conditions information publically available (and that goes for everywhere, not just China) because while you obviously don't want to support manufacturers with very shady and unfair practices, there are a lot of Chinese companies providing a fair living for their staff (and in fact who might be the only employer or the major employer of an area), who absolutely deserve support. Right now it's just impossible to tell though.

[@maggir8220]

Even in my contract there is a clause that permits me from disclosing my own salary. It's going to be tough to get to a place with transparency as long as greed rules the world, sadly.

[@tsarinaromanov2641]

In a perfect world this is gold... But there's so many corrupt companies just in America that skirt these rules or demand silence from their employees about salary and wages even tho technically it's against the US constitution... its so sad.

[@polythenepam3236]

I can only say thank you for sticking with us over in England ur not the only one who’s pissed at the U.K. government we all are! 🤨 but obviously if it does cause u too many headaches then u will still have a very long term viewer drooling over all the merch 😂

Hi Baylee the EU will be doing exactly the same thing re the VAT collection at the point of sale in July 2021

This was incredibly helpful! Tysm for sharing these Q&A's - a lot of people won't answer questions like this (especially about money) so I truly appreciate your willingness to share! Disclaimer: I respect people's choice not share info they aren't comfortable with. I also appreciate when people choose to share helpful business information :)

[@quenuk]

Thank you for sharing all the info regarding your business & everything it involves on a personal level. The banking, taxes & business aspect always seems so daunting, often discouraging people from moving forward in setting up a proper company. Congratulations on the success you´ve made in dealing with it all.

[@CorchadoV]

Thank you for this video! Watching it for a second time and it just relieves me that it isn't bad to charge X4 for a pin or sticker based on expenses.

Idc what people say I LOVE Q&As. It's super interesting to hear a creator's insights, perspective, and opinions.

[@tkgosselin]

Sketch books with Diamond painting on the cover!!! Please and thank you. LAC and The Meeting!!!🥰

[@BayleeJae]

Sketchbook covers would be much too small for a diamond painting of those drawings.

[@Amaruq313]

23:20 I guess that you do not sell to Norwegians, then. If the seller does not do the work with collectian taxes to the Norwegian state + a little fee, hopefully proportional, for themselves, the Norwegian postal service will do the job and charge a large, and often inproportial, fee for it. Things often triple in price, with both the fee and a small tax to the State, so we often stear away from foreign stores.

[@bookwormbon482]

That's very interesting to know thank you. Do you have any website links I can see to read up on this?

[@BayleeJae]

I do get orders from Norway.

[@PatrycjaFabicka]

Couldn't agree more with the part when you talked about motivation to work. I illustrate books and if I have a project and set amount of illos to do in a day, no trick will help if I'm slacking off. The work won't magically appear at the last day. I may do some mindless colour blocking on days when I feel low, but progress is made nonetheless. Self-discipline is probably the no1 thing to learn or adapt when pursuing any profession, especially your own business, freelance and art in general.

[@TaylorHubbard11195]

I understand the whole adding in labor costs. I am trying to start a small candle business, and I absolutely love candles and love making them, but I always forget about my own labor, and feel like I'm underpricing them. But I feel like if I calculate that in no one would want it. Also, I don't know if you've said this in another video, but I was wondering if you were planning on turning any of your other prints into diamond paintings, I think "hey guys" and "lac" would be amazing as diamond paintings!!

[@jennaanniina]

This video was so helpful!! I've been wanting to start my own online shop for 6-ish years but only have gotten serious about it since I finished uni last summer. I've been trying to come up with designs etc since then and hopefully I'll be ordering my first items this month/April! 😄

[@KirstinDanielle98]

I saw a product advertised on TikTok that was a tape dispenser that had a stamp under the adhesive part to have “custom” tape! As you roll the dispenser across the package, the logo gets stamped on the underside. Unfortunately, it was plastic tape but perhaps in the future they’ll come out with a dispenser that allows paper tapes to be stamped! It was a lot cheaper than a dispenser that comes custom made, and was still super cute! I forgot to take a screenshot of the name and I can’t for the life of me remember, but your business immediately came to mind!

[@Kryptonitearts89]

Hey Baylee, I'm a super fan I love art so much. I've been your fan for 3 years now and you inspired me to start my own business to sell my own art and buttons and stuff so thank you for always being positive and inspiring. Keep the awesomeness 😍❤️❤️❤️

[@emelisema]

Thanks for the time stamps! ✨

[@user-tm3hc1hx3r]

I think, as a Uk viewer and buyer, I would rather wait for there to be a work around with the Vat laws than you have to pay a fine and have potential beef with the UK government. I know this would mean you not selling to the uk right now, and I would be sad I’d be missing out on this store opening, but I think it would be better for the long term :)

[@Lenayre]

You might be able to lower the price of the sketchbook a bit by decreasing the number of pages. Usually, sketchbooks with higher quality papers will have fewer number pages anyways. And some people like 20-30 sheet sketchbooks because they are less intimidating. Just a thought. Considering, the embroidery, hardcover and the fact that it's not mass produced but made by Baylee Jae, I'm sure you will be able to sell them all even if you have to up the price!

[@puddingcat1498]

I am so sorry that even people like you are having to deal with the utter madness of Brexit. It is completely nuts.

[@Paintwritelive]

I guess I'm gonna be the weird one here and say but I like the acrylic charms. I love watching you grade pins.

[@bloodyleia8769]

I really want to just take the leap and open an art store but I need to make designs to sell first 🤣 this is inspiring though and makes the thought of it less scary

[@justkibby5959]

I find all this store stuff fascinating. And scary. I have a hobby business and im careful to NOT profit so I dont have to deal with taxes. If you dont profit, you're a hobby, not a business. One of these days I'll have money to order from your store. I love the holographic prints (I love vera 2.0) and the pins. I love them. Shiney things. Im a crow lol

[@sally1111100]

I just placed my first order with you! I have been watching your videos for a long time so I'm super excited 😁

[@nicolemiller2694]

I'm American and I have worked in multiple jobs. I was only ever paid minimum wage once and it was my first job and to be honest, all I really did was sit at a desk and make made sure the customers were doing well (an extremely easy job for an extremely small company) I never was paid minimum wage in any other job. I've worked fast food, a warehouse, and a couple more places. It is really weird to me that the American minimum wage is even so low, however, I don't think it needs to be raised either. Usually, if you're being paid that low there is something illegal going on or it's a really small business.

[@mbsonquit]

This is so helpful 🥺 I'm setting up my own little shop and I feel less worried

[@clairebear787]

i wanna get a bunboy pin so badly but i don't think ill be able to be there for the launch lol so ill probably miss out XD i hope you have a good day everyone who reads this! and you manage to get something if you wanted something from the store :3

[@bethalmond5184]

Hi baylee! Please add lak and the meeting to diamond paintings 🙌🏼 and also have you thought of trying the cat litter robot air 3 I have one for 3 cats and have to empty it every 4 days but it works a treat, saves time and money cause I don’t have to scoop and it uses less litter

[@ivyyuuki1805]

as for the sketchbook , i would be happy to spend on one , its coming from an arty person like yourself so we know you would make sure its of decent quality . Id love to have a fancy sketchbook in which isnt a gamble as to paper quality etc

[@Beth-sz3hl]

I think 35 cad for a sketchbook is perfectly reasonable. I buy moleskine sketchbooks and they're around the same price. Yours are much nicer ;w; although, the UK are doing the tax thing because we're no longer part of the EU and we wanna remove customs

[@BayleeJae]

They would definitely need to cost more than 35 CAD. I'm thinking more like 40 USD.

[@JJBabbles]

WOW. You're a Superstar! I'm doing my taxes online for the first time this year & I'm terrified! 😂

[@laurlee2473]

Thank you for your honesty and willingness to share ☺ ♥

[@slieni94]

I'm a small business located in the Netherlands (so the EU) and we have to deal with the same bs from the UK with collecting taxes for them. I feel the exact same way with why should I have to collect these taxes for another country? So my only options are having a headache and pay taxes twice every 3 months or open a Etsy just for the UK.

[@sandraraituma]

Omg the letters from CRA-ish institutions are the worst :D I'm not sure how taxes work in Canada, if they are more complex than here, but I'm an accountant here in my country, and it's not THAT complicated for small businesses. The only thing is, our government likes to change things quite often, so you have to keep up :D

That's why I could never be self-employed. I am disciplined enough to earn money as long as others bear the greatest responsibility and I have my regular working hours. But I could never be self-disciplined enough to do so much stuff and more stuff and ... to have to do even more stuff on my own and then always have to worry if I will earn enough money in the end,whether enough people will like my product next month, ect. I enjoy watching you and it all looks so easy and lari-fari, but in reality it takes sooo~ much work and investment. I bet few people would be upset if you raised prices so you could have more free time. You have built up a large following and selling below value is never good.

[@hopetokki]

This. I'd love to have my own business and be self-employed but I don't think I have enough mental energy and self-discipline to be that involved with so much and keep up with everything ie. regulating a following, staying active on social media, managing multiple social media accounts, designing, creating products, product quality, shipping, advertising, taxes, copyright, customer service.. it's overwhelming to even think about it all, especially when you're on your own and never done it before. How do people do all that and have time for themselves??

The UK Vat is so frustrating - Australian GST is only 10%, VAt is 20% from what I've seen. Many artists have contacted accountants and l;awyer and we still do not have information here on how to register to collect Vat. They just did not roll it out affectively!

[@AllysonHibbard]

Thank you very much for sharing this type of information. I would like to get into selling prints and stickers, but I've been really hesitant to do it. I've only been just doing my original artwork and occasionally allowing others to purchase that. But I've had a lot of people wanting me to do a coloring book for adults. I've really been skittish about trying to do that. But you are giving me courage to at least try to research it! Lol.

[@PoundKeyz]

Sira Print is good for stickers in Canada. I use them for my clear sticker sheets.

I had to restrict shipping to the UK this year too. Thing is I *APPLIED* to collect and remit VAT, but something on the form went wrong and they got my business name wrong, but then never reached out to approve or deny my application so it's just been sitting in limbo for three months. So like, what am I even supposed to do? The situation is really dumb and hurts so many small businesses.

[@sandraraituma]

About that VAT situation with UK. If anyone from government is reading this, I have an idea :D The best thing is of course do it as it was and as everyone else does - collect VAT at receiver country (UK) customs. Why UK thinks it's so special that every business in other countries needs to pay them VAT? It's almost like they need to registrate in UK as a VAT tax payer. The next best thing maybe would be that - the sellers can collect tax from the buyers, but pay them to their own government, and then their government can deal with UK. It would just be 1 additional line in already existing VAT tax report "collected tax for UK". But then again - UK needs to arrange this with every single country. Which is...stupid? Then really after some time the tax report could consist of 100 more lines like this - with most major countries in it. Why not add Russia, China, Australia too? :D I think that there is more to this, this whole thing does not make sense at all. I hope to hear what your accountant thinks :D

[@Crochetedbypolly]

I just placed my order yay !

[@yksinainen11]

I like your business related videos a lot! I hope there will be more.

[@EmmaFoxArt]

Also regarding the UK VAT dilemma, the thing that pisses me off the most is that we did something similar in Australia but we didn't screw all the small businesses with how we did it. So the way Australia did it was that if you make enough sales to Australians to go over the GST threshold ($75K AUD) you have to remit tax and pay it to our government. It was done this way to stop dodgy places setting up their storefronts outside of Australia and selling to Australians without collecting tax. This meant that small artists and small businesses that are international do not have to do ANYTHING unless they sell over $75K worth of products to Australia, and if they are selling that much to Australia alone as an international business they can afford to hire an accountant and pay our GST like the rest of us earning over $75K do. The way the UK has done it is ridiculous and makes no sense (hoping Europe has planned this better when they do it in July). It doesn't benefit small businesses in the UK because they now can't buy from a lot of places outside the UK, I honestly do not understand why they didn't do it the way we did it and make it so you only have to collect VAT if you are earning over the UK tax threshold. Instead they expect an artist who might make 5 sales a year to the UK to figure out how to register for VAT, get an EORI number, charge and remit the tax, and then figure out where to pay it. I have even contacted international tax specialists to try and get them to help me (I sold enough to the UK for this to be a significant cut to my earnings) and no one will get back to me. The furthest I've seen people get is registering for VAT and getting the number, but no one seems to be able to tell them where they pay the remitted tax. UK government has tiny brain and enjoys making everyone's lives harder.

Hello, just want to ask you for the shipping uk order, did you conciser to deliver DDP (delevery duty paid) so the delivery company will charge you directly for the customs taxes , you don’t need to do it by yourself the company shipping will?

[@budgetboxuk]

Even in the UK we don't like our gov't We have just had the budget and as a disabled small business owner working when my health allows they don't care they will assume we are getting an income based on the minimum wage and then tax us accordingly whether we are actually taking home that or not, usually not. We are being thrown to the dogs over and over. Our gov't is lazy so they will try and get everyone else to do their work so expect to be doing more and more. The nurses have just been given a 1% pay rise but when broken down it will mean less taken home where they, the mp's can choose their own pay rises and they are not tight at all in doing so. Sorry I managed to rant a bit.

[@BayleeJae]

Wait, they ASSUME your income?! I can't believe they are getting away with that!

[@budgetboxuk]

@@BayleeJae Yup its called the minimum income floor. Its killed off lots of small businesses and if your health compromised they still expect you to do the same as those who aren't. Luckily in a way we are now thanking Covid because whilst its tough in lots of other ways that has put the MIF on hold but that won't be for long so we are trying to make the most of it because our chancellor of the exchequer has decided that we must pay big time when it stops so our tax rate will increase and our benefits will drop. Oh Happy Days eh.

[@amydrawss]

@@BayleeJae Thats Soley for Benefits and Self Employed people, if you're on benefits and are registered as self employed and your business is over a year old you get hit with something called a 'minimum income floor' which I believe is worked out at X amount of hours on our national minimum wage, i think its either 16 hours or whatever they class as full time ( our benefits and working at the same time is worked out if you get x amount of benefits and x amount of wages 63p of every £ gets deducted for your benefits so the minimum income floor is just a basic amount they expect you to make a month and it gets deducted from your total benefits, it does suck if you don't make that amount one month doesn'tespecially disabled people but the gist we get from the government is they'd rather everyone be a PAYE employee rather then self employed
