All I could think about is all the money on ink omggggg

[@HotSauseCandy]

HP has an amazing ink program 300 full color prints for $10 a month and it rolls over. I sell mad stickers on Etsy and the HP ink program is a must.

[@BB-lg4nn]

I go to Costco to buy printer ink. Instead of paying over $30 for new ink, Costco’s photo center restocks my ink cartridge for like $12. It depends on the printer ink you got though since they only have certain kinds of ink refills.

I know it’s a bit personal... but I’m curious about the financial side of your Etsy shop. I’d love to see your income and how all of that work and information like that.

[@sneekz07]

That's more than a 'bit personal'. You want an entire breakdown of her finances.

[@dharmamull8517]

Misty Windmaker I’m kinda wondering the same. I was wondering if she actually makes money off of it. If she enjoys it though I’m sure it’s fine. She seems to enjoy it.

[@planfantastic]

I can give you breakdown for my shop. Jenny and I have approximately the same number of sales, although our product line up and equipment is slightly different. My specs: I have a professional laser printer, because it's much more economical to purchase toner rather than ink (although she would need an inkjet to print "prints", because an inkjet prints finer detail for art). I run 3 Silhouette machines. Currently, I run 2 Portraits and 1 Cameo. I have a 4th (Cameo) but it's not in the lineup currently. I use Amazon subscriptions to have Mats sent every 2 months, and blades every 3 months. I have a Rollo label printer and buy labels in 500 qty sets (no ink in the Rollo). Amazon is cheapest for toner (I have an HP...I buy the XL toner cartridges, which have ~2000 pages life (about $100 ea, 4 colors). I need toner 3 times a year. I buy sticker paper from Onlinelabels, usually in qty 1000 sheets ($100 ish). I repurchase every 2 months. I purchase my cellophane envelopes and shipping envelopes (cardboard mailers) from Amazon too--cheapest, even compared to wholesale. I buy in qty 200-500, depending on the time of year (right now we're swamped!) Cello are about $6 for a pack of 100, mailers are $25-30 for 200. I have some extras I add for "packaging", white paper slip envelopes (like treat sacks, I use these if there are multiple cello envelopes in an order) 200 for $12. I also add one of a few different Thank You labels that I buy in bulk from Amazon (1000 for about $10--cheaper than I can make them!) Ok so alll of that breaks down to roughly $180 a month in expenses. After Etsy takes their cut, I average a little more than $3000 a month in Etsy payouts. October - February are my busiest months, with May and July-Aug also being good. March-April, June, September are all slow in the sticker biz. You have to adjust, as with any self-employed business owner. Obviously the math doesn't include my time, which is also valuable. It takes a lot of time to run an Etsy shop! I also have to design and do social media, which is neverending. I kind of suck at the social media. Not enough hours in the day! I preschedule posts with Hootsuite, but I wish I had more time to devote to gaining a following. Maybe this is all helpful? :D

[@planfantastic]

@@mistywindmaker6547 No problem at all! I know when I was starting out it was hard to find ANY info online. People were wary about sharing their "sources" or even how they packed and shipped/where they sourced those supplies etc. I've been a graphic designer for more than 15 years, and my hourly rate is $50. I use that as a general pricing guide for my "time" when pricing sheets (I use a crafting business calculator Excel sheets I found online. I may have even paid $1 or 2 for it). I found that with my expenses the minimum I can charge per sheet is $3 and still make a decent profit (that's running the 3 machines per hour of course). I was originally a digital download shop and brought in roughly $50 a week. It was a nice "play money" side gig (I teach graphic design as my day job in a career & tech high school). Passive income is the best! You really need several revenue streams (hopefully at least a couple with passive income) to cover those slow times and make it worthwhile.

[@busybeeroxy5671]

@@planfantastic this is such great info! thanks so much for sharing. what kind of printer do you have if you don't mind sharing. I've been looking into the canon pima pro 100 but not sure if it's eco enough for printing stickers.

[@ashleyreaume6486]

Not sure if someone said so already but you can clean the mats with dish soap and a light cleaning pad... replacing them twice a month is ridiculous! They’re so expensive 😂 I’ve had mine for a year and have cleaned them and it kept them sticky. Thanks so much for sharing a glimpse into your daily Etsy routine!

[@donnaleesoucy]

Ashley Reaume I use Las Totally Fabolous from dollar tree and an old gift card to lightly scrape off the dust and leftovers after it soaks for about two mins. Then rinse it under water and dry it off. I’m going on over a year with the same mats too! I cringed hearing buying mats twice a month! That’s almost $40 wasted in my world!!! 😂

[@JennyJournals]

Yes I do this as well! I usually am able to clean it 3 times before the stickiness is not good anymore. The problem more so usually is that my mats start warping from the amount of stickers I cut each week so I have to unfortunately replace them once per month. 🙁

[@donnaleesoucy]

I guess that’s just good signs of business! ☺️🙃♥️

[@ljc.youtube]

There is a glue that you can tack things over and over again, basically a repositionable glue, I am wondering if that would work on my old mats, I've been wanting to try that for a while.

[@donnaleesoucy]

I just recently watched a video where Silhouette has the option to load without a mat. That would save TONS of money!

For packaging for your stickers, you could try glassine bags. It's a type of paper that's translucent but protective and recyclable and would meet a lot of your needs. I came across it because my dad was a stamp collector and it's commonly used for protecting stamps.

Yes, I think Catherine Kay from Katnipp (see KZbin channel, Etsy store, Insta etc from the UK) has started using these also as they are the environmentally responsible option. Not as see through but customers preferred them to plastic. 👌🏼⭐️

[@LeilaWardArt]

She mentioned on a higher up response that it's more to do with the mats warping due to the amount of stickers she cuts on them in a month!

[@madnessintomagic]

Whiskey Black Agreed. It’s so wasteful and a waste of money. Use a scrub sponge, like a dobie to scrub off all the old sticky from the mat (it’s easier than you think and takes just a few minutes - like scrubbing dead skin off), use this (link) and just swipe it across in lines until the whole thing has one even layer, then let it air dry (without clear cover) until the next day. It’s like a brand new mat AND the stick is even better than the original green mat.

I suggest getting low maintenance indoor plants like all variety of snake plants, pothos, cast iron, Chinese evergreen variety, etc. Might be tempting to buy those unique ones, but you’re better off sticking with beginner friendly plants.

[@astralityyy]

pothos are cool. didn’t water mine for a month (oops) came back and found it droopy, but still bright green. watered. was normal again the next day. lucky bamboo are cool too, if you get a decently sized pot/giant mug, fill with little fake pebbles, put in bamboo and fill it with water it’ll be good for like 3 weeks. clean the water though.

I spent hours trying to figure it out and hours speaking to Silhoute on their chat. They insisted I was the only one it was happening to, so they clearly lied. It must have been an update they did to their software and they don't know how to fit it. I wasted so much money on paper and buying new blades. Admitted defeat and now just put it on rachet and adjust the blade manually. Terrible they state its an auto-adjusting blade to save time and it doesn't work.

I do have one question why didn’t you list the first cricut for sticker cutting? Jus wondering

[@HautePinkFluff]

She did. It’s in the description box and she linked the newer model.

You can use tissue paper for the water proof stickers that way u use less plastic

You can try glassine. I use both eco friendly plastic pouches from clearbags and glassine.

[@LoveOfArt87]

I fill like you waste a lot on packaging. Why put every stick sheet I to clear plastic baggies and the printed velum. I purchase stickers from Etsy seller all the time and I throw every thing away. It seems like a waste of money.. just a thought. Ps love you room and your stickers are beautiful!

[@laiamontserrat8757]

I love your voice it relax me I don’t know why before watching the video I was stressed and angry now I’m stressed but not angry

[@lbcrafter8621]

Maybe someone said this already but you can use the cricut to cut out the borders from the sticker sheets, just copy the layer 3 times andadd them on top of each other. This let the cricut repeat the kiss cut and you will have your sticker sheets ready to use. much faster than having to cut them all manual... This is how I do it.

[@NeccoWecco]

Cellophane is made from plants instead of oil :) You can use cellophane or glassine bags

[@jessicacopeland9066]

I know that “not knowing when to stop” feeling because you just want to finish “one more” order, and then suddenly it’s 1AM. Had to make a rule for myself that I have to go to bed by midnight 😅

Can I just say.. While watching this, I felt like I was in a trance or something cause I literally almost fell asleep!! It's so soothing Also, while watching, I saw how much hard work, effort, and time you had to put into your business which is really inspiring and motivating.

[@Chloe_todd09]

Can we talk about how cute her work space is

[@littlebirdlife2389]

Has the free shipping hurt your etsy sales? I sell items that are not very expensive and people will buy just enough to get free shipping so my sales have gone up but I'm making less money now. Raising my prices to cover shipping just makes my etsy shop not competitive with other websites selling similar items. I'm seriously considering closing my etsy shop and finding a different venue.

[@sienabaillie5666]

Okay, I am not a huge dog person but your dog is so adorable!!!!❤️

[@CraftyMomof12]

I have a cameo 3 and a Cricut also. But my question is how do you decide which machine to use for which ever stickers?

This was really informative. I have been really interested into doing this kind of business but had no idea where to start/ where to look for information.

[@carlysvinyl]

Samantha Timms I would recommend listening to some podcasts or reading a book such as “be the artist” but the most important thing is just to start!

You could use glassine bags! They are way better for the environment and they look super cute!

[@notsdan]

hi! where did you get the table on your bed?

[@manondevries-wissels1964]

Maybe you already know this hack, but you can cut around your sticker sheet with the cricut so you don't have to cut them yourself. See this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bF6zdIV_j6igd6M

Love videos like this. Keep them coming. And congrats on graduating. How do you make your stickers weatherproof? I see that you use the weatherproof sticker paper but you can just use regular ink jet ink and they are weatherproof?

[@JennyJournals]

Lone Bird Studio yep! Somehow the paper works with the inkjet ink in a certain way that makes them weatherproof 🙂 not sure how it works but it works!

[@Galacti_k]

Jenny Journals Are you’re clear glossy sticker sheets weatherproof too or do you use something to coat them or are they fine just like that ?? :) sorry for the long question love your vids btw ♡

[@tititells7829]

I love that you’re able to have an Etsy side business. I’m thinking about starting one about turning trash into treasures, but I have reservations about the whole shipping process, especially when it comes to heavier stuff. Is shipping a separate cost on your Etsy?
