I got my heat press, llc, and even started a few designs I am just scared to launch my business. But after watching your video I feel more confident about starting my business.

[@lyndsayhammond6884]

Just do it ❤ Keep your expectations low at first and just be proud for doing it!

[@SimplySallie]

That’s amazing! don’t be scared- it sounds like you are ready to go for it! 💕

[@user-bt2wh3jz8w]

What heat press is good to start out with when just starting a tshirt business , is the htvront auto 15x15 a good one to start out with ?

[@deenamoore112]

I can’t thank you enough. I have watched A LOT of videos to help me get started with my business. You are the very first person to be honest and express how hard it really is to start and run a business. Thank you!

[@EllieandGinger]

Such great info! I also started my business as handmade children’s clothing! Back in 2017. I created a second business making jewelry in 2019 and ended up closing my children’s clothing. Now I’m still doing jewelry and added in faith-based gifts. :)

[@lildee_w6254]

Picking a business name is my hardest struggle! I feel I spend way too long thinking about it

[@stevegrimes5105]

Ten+ years ago, Etsy was pretty good. These days, it's just another eBay. Cheap stuff made in China is most of the listings, even listed as 'handmade', lol, or factory made things with an initial printed on (in no way is this handmade). I stopped selling on Etsy years ago, I can't compete with people selling mass-made stuff. I also stopped buying because it's clear I can't trust that what's sold on Etsy is handmade.

[@eclecticsoljewelry9102]

Time is my problem. I work a full time job and I don’t get off until 6 P.M, so it’s not easy to run to the post office to drop off packages. I’m so tired after all the other things I need to do after work. It’s hard to even get enough time to do my crafts to sell. I’m so frustrated 😢.

[@lordisong9234]

Very encouraging

[@ShannonsBudgets]

Great info

[@maliyahyisrael5175]

Girl you are absolutely amazing!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Many blessings to you 💖🙏🏽

[@JLynnBeaver]

Do you have any thoughts or suggestions on return policies or other fine print for an arts/crafts/t-shirt online shop? Absolutely great content and I have subscribed and will share with my partner; thank you!!!

[@lizrego2870]

I just bought a heat press! I’m one step closer! 👍

[@SimplySallie]

That's amazing!! 👏💕

[@Peter28148]

I want to start a business so bad!

[@Suena2010]

Hi Sally, Can you make a video about why you never moved your business to a commercial space? Also can you touch on hiring help? Thanks!

[@mikeledee8786]

I notice that you press white t-shirts do you press black as well? I have several customers that ask me to press color images on black t-shirts and I am looking for good ideas on the best ways to do that or just stay away from that? Your thoughts on that please?

[@dianacarolina4592]

This is the video I’ve been trying to look for. Can you do the same thing with videos from tiktok and repurpose them from someone else and put it on yours?

[@vch706]

Loved this video so much!! I think my biggest fear is the tax part when starting a business. Do you have any advice? Have you done a video dealing with that part of the business?

[@SimplySallie]

Taxes are definitely no fun- but no I haven't made any videos on it yet! I may do one soon!

[@vch706]

That would be so helpful.

[@julia.mcconnell]

@@SimplySallieoh please do! They horrify all of us

[@yoya9193]

Hey sallie. I have a question. Is your digital and physical together or separate?

[@cassandrahickson3725]

Hi Sallie......

Hi Cassandra! 👋

Again, you talk about your Etsy shop and have links to all kinds of things BUT your Etsy shop. Why is that?
