Other channels: clickbait thumbnail + title -> bad content Your channel: Sort of look like clickbait -> content that never fail to amaze me Quality video!

[@justinlaser]

Hahaha Ill take it... thank you!

[@jamesl.223]

"factor it into your numbers and deal with it" this is THE BEST advice i have heard when discussing etsy fees. Everyone wants everything for free, that is just not realistic, there are expenses in doing business, deal with it :) Hope you feel better soon.

[@justinlaser]

Thanks James! Yeah, I understand peoples frustrations but if fees like that are going to stop you I dont think youre cut out for running an online business lol.

[@JoeyBPhotography]

​@@justinlasercut out... I see what you did there. And agreed 100%

[@mrfoameruk]

Like other online platforms as a rough guide selling fees work out at about 20% of the selling price.

[@shadowfox929]

Thank you Justin. Gives a person a lot to think about.

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

So much great knowledge thank you for sharing!

[@justinlaser]

Thanks for watching chad!!

[@viacheslavdobrovolskiy]

Thank you, James! You're a man! It really warms up my soul that you shares your own experience and the ways to earn some money with such a great amount of people! I appreciate you show that it's pretty doable - to get a small shop and make it profitable. Please keep posting your great videos! It really inspires me!

[@justinlaser]

Thanks for watching and the kind words. Its not always easy but definitely doable!

[@werdayat8905]

You do a very good job of helping and informing others of valuable info. Glad to have came across your channel. I just purchased a s1 40w to do my own real leather hat patches that I stitch onto hats. Thanks again

[@justinlaser]

Appreciate it thank you for the kind words. The S1 should work great for the leather patches. Might want to beef up the exhaust a little though if you are going to be doing a lot of leather cutting with it.

[@alphagrendel]

I'm just starting my laser business, adn this will be a perfect fir for me. Thank you.

[@rickmartinez1769]

Awesome advice and niche. Thanks so much for sharing this knowledge!

[@justinlaser]

Thanks for watching!

[@jayceechandler4905]

Hope you feel better soon.. thanks for the information

[@justinlaser]

appreciatei t!

[@g-tracks]

Great advice 😁 I have a P2 and I am finally comfortable with doing some orders and this would be a good fit. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain and would definitely like to know more. I hope you feel better. You are doing a fantastic job with your videos

[@justinlaser]

Thanks!! P2 would be a perfect fit. Just got my P2 delivered and going to set it up tomorrow. I had to lift it up by myself and think I strained myself back into covid hahaha.

[@g-tracks]

@@justinlaser Seriously it is heavier than it looks. I am really happy with the build quality and the features so far. I found a local supplier of cast acrylic last week and they seem to have pretty fair pricing.

[@Cliff_P]

Thanks! Hope your feeling better soon 👍

[@justinlaser]

appreciate it!

[@PeteSattler]

Another useful and insightful video...thanks for sharing!!!

[@justinlaser]

Thanks Pete!

[@tonyyong]

Thanks for your informative business ideas. I'm waiting for my Xtool S1 10W to help with my leather craft work. I make small card holders, passport holders and handbags for my friends and wife. Would love to make patterns for my leather craft works, as the S1 10W should probably be able to cut 2~3mm thick black acrylic. I've subscribed to your website, can't wait to start a side hustle. I'm 66 soon, will have to prep for the day when my boss bids me Adios. Would love to learn more on your business strategies. Thanks again, Anthony from Singapore.

[@davidelder5399]

Great content as always👍get well soon 🤧

[@justinlaser]

Thanks David appreciate it!

[@dian3145]

Hi Justin, love your content. Always professional and outside the box. It looks like you primarily use 1/8 in. Do you get much call for 1/4, like for router templates?

[@justinlaser]

Yes, router people want thicker and often settle for 1/8" if they order from me.

[@flufygrowth]

how to figure out what to charge? it's one of my biggest issues

[@ctconn35]

Good idea!! I would do it in a second except I don’t have a co2

[@justinlaser]

co2 is pretty clutch for this but black acrylic will work if its a diode.

[@aquariumshrimp]

Hi Justin, I just ordered a 100w CO2. Would love the opportunity to work with you to help out. This would greatly help me out so I can help out. Let me know how to proceed. Steve

[@ransak3666]

I have a question.. I already have Etsy that I use for sublimation but I just purchased a Co2 laser and I’m waiting for it to arrive but I already have many ideas.. I haven’t had many buyers on Etsy, and I know it takes money to make money.. so how much would you throw to Etsy advertising.. because I think I have the least.

[@philipf5655]

Question: What do you with the rest of the acrylic parts? Throw them into the waste or recycle them in any way?

[@justinlaser]

Bigger pieces of scrap I keep around for cutting smaller things but my scrap sheets I take back to my plastic supplier.

[@6creeder688]

I have a laser business and I have diode and co2 lasers and I have a leather craft business I still would like you to do some patterns for me !!!!! No time to do them I still use paper patterns on most of my wallets what’s your Etsy ?

[@bloopbleepnothinghere]

But being on Etsy doesn't solve the customer problem. You can be at a marketplace but if you are burried in a room at the back of the market you still have a customer problem. There are so many vendors doing the same thing, it will take years and dedication to get to this guy's customer base. There is no shortcut to a good business.

[@vladimirp8942]

Hi I live in Israel, can I work with Etsy? Can it be a problem, because maybe I will need to ship worldwide...? wish you a quick recovery

[@bearparts]

Why can't you cut clear Acrylic with an S1? Will it cut colored Acrylic?

[@justinlaser]

The wavelength of a diode laser doesnt interact well with light color materials, especially transparent. The beam just passes straight through the acrylic. It will cut colored acrylic but the darker the better. Most people stick with black for that reason.
