"By fairly pricing your product, you're also attracting an audience that ultimately you want to keep." This resonated with me a lot. I'm one of those that feel bad when pricing my items.

[@mushroomanimatedyt2296]

I’m the exact same way

[@PlayfulMonkeycharms]

definitely! My prices went up a dollar lol and my sales slowed down! it is very sad but when people do finally buy you feel better you didnt under sell!

[@Phloxnova]

You sould pricey fairly but still keep in mind that a lot of time, labour and effort goes into your product. Underpricing yourself is one of the worst things you can do.

[@heidicgi]

i cried so hard when you said "the universe is taking care of me" literally couldn't see anymore because of the tears

[@SarahB-gu1jx]

I just want to say to you and Tammy and anybody who needs to hear this, there really is someone out there who wants to take care of you. The God who created the universe, who created you, who sent His son Jesus to die on a cross for you and rose again from the grave, that same amazing God loves you and wants to take care of you. He is so good and I have seen Him show His love and care in my own life and others, and like He says in the Bible He would love to take care of you too❤

[@akaSacha]

I cried at the same quote instantly....

[@zainebhidoussi1498]

yep in my country we do have a saying similar to this for shy ppl who are hesitant to do something they love " the shy never lives" and it did stick to me growing up.

[@josephelliott4117]

I was a sculptor, also with oven baked clays, of course my sculps were slightly larger at 1/6 scale, mostly Marvel/DC. It took me a week to create one-of-a-kind art pieces. I tried to sell but couldn't find the audience willing to pay for my time. I progressed into cake decorating with modeling chocolate and have killed it in that area. Sometimes you have to tweak your talent to meet the needs of your audience. Thank you for showing me it could be done......

[@didididiah]

Maybe you could try it again. Now that you’ve got clients. Some of them might want to have a more permanent sculpture ❤.

[@AurforeRhodontis]

I went to college for film sculpting and one of the advices I got was that it translates amazingly to cake decorating and it's SO true. Im so glad you found somewhere to apply your skills successfully!

[@fransantelli]

@@AurforeRhodontis ha! i thought about that too.. it looks super fun.

[@jambonzer1603]

You missed the point, the product is not her art but herself, the business is not her shop but youtube. If you can market yourself you can sell anything.

[@perlaguzman4065]

i'm about to do the opposite is a bad idea? i used to bake, now i want to sculpt, jesus

[@MonaLisa625]

3:39 you made me cry. And I feel like the Universe send "angels" in your way when you need them. So I found you now, my personality is like yours, like I'm introverted and I tend to have anxiety and I am in the process of my freelance business life as an artist. Your videos are encouraging.

[@Tracy-gj6kv]

I almost cried when you said that you never thought you'd amount to anything great. You're such a sweet and beautiful soul. Continued success.

[@davediaz5447]

Are you kidding me! one of the most profound Q&A's if ever encountered. So many golden nuggets to get from. 1) being original & not worry about trends 2) getting rid of old so called "friends" 3) embracing fear...Last but not least...you were being productive while filming. Sister you rock! : )

[@jessicathompson1456]

I, as a watcher, cannot stand trends so I don’t bother w them in any of my work. I don’t have a YT channel or anything, so Indont have to compete that way. But makes me proud of Tammy because she doesn’t feel the need to get sucked into that garbage. So much of it ruins the fun and enjoyment and contentment and purpose of creation and sharing.

[@8691cc]

Love these tips so as well! 🧡

[@GeekEverythingTV]

I loved the vid, but be careful everyone. The "learn as you go" route can land you in a lot of hot water if you're not someone who keeps track of every single purchase/expense/sale, and even if your state has regulations against certain things. A lot of times you have to register your business name with your state or file certain forms to allow you to sell in person or online (and yes, selling in person vs online are two separate things with different forms). Please do your research before opening up your own personal finances to liability and the possibility of problems with the IRS when tax season is upon you and you have no clue what you're doing. This lady has a whole agency to help her so that might be why she brushed over it as a non-issue, but please please do the research in terms of legality and taxes because it only takes one irate customer to bankrupt you. Goodness forbid you sell a small item without any warnings, a kid chokes on it, and now you're open to being sued and are responsible for the harm caused. Call your state and local tax offices and ask questions if you can't find the answers you're looking for online!

[@arknark]

Great advice.

[@lolosrainydays]

Very true. In terms of business make sure you are doing the right thing. With your products and skills on that side you can learn as you go. In ireland we have brilliant state run start your own business courses that are either free or for a small fee.

[@amarillot.t4376]

The fact that your comment only has 53 likes further proves the point that people prefer pleasant lies as opposed to inconvenient truths.

[@drawingbunny97]

I had the same thought. I have a small business and live in Germany. Without research, I would have a lot of legal problems. I also have to have a packaging license just to send out orders. Also, as a business, I am not allowed to use every trendy sound on Instagram as well. There was quite a lot of research I had to do. But it pays off. Now I can make art without worrying about any legal things since I took care of it in the beginning.

[@GroundbreakGames]

Tldr So anyways, I started selling…

[@Claudia-lt6gb]

I've watched a lot of "how to start a business" vids in the past and while they all inspired me they also left me with an impending feeling of dread and panic. Your video was so calming and was like the reassurance I needed to just start, nomatter what stage you're at, without overcomplicating things. It was also so so nice to see your old videos, because it shows you don't need the 4k perfect lighting setup to begin, you can always get to that later if you want and "learn as you go"

[@Bigheartrolling]

Thank you. I’m 57 and going from a long hiatus ina career I won’t be going back to and beginning my creative art stage of life. You’ve helped me realize my fear I’m not good enough is a waste of time. The universe will take care of us all if we believe in ourselves!

[@mar2062]

“I don’t have to seek trends I just make what I wanna make” brilliant babyyy

[@claygeree]

I've been a clay artist since 2018. I used to sculpt clay for fun, but had to stop due to my work. I really felt the burnout because I couldn't pursue my passion. I was so stressed that I already having some health issues. Clay sculpting is my stress reliever, as I always enjoy making small things like miniatures. This month, I decided to resign with plans to return to what I love - creating art. Your words are uplifting and has given me the courage to CONTINUE and get back what I love doing. Thank you for this video❤

[@phendranaa]

I am excited for you. All the best!

[@luhearts7394]

i really liked your answer tothe 'pricing' question, because what some people forget is, that no one forces you to buy stuff out of your price-ange. you can also silently support, by following or commenting :) or just click away if you don't like the contet you're seeing. :)

[@janenru564]

As someone who went to art school but hasn't had the courage/made the effort to do it for a living out of fear, I really appreciated this video. ❤

[@StudioHelaShop]

Wow when you said “I was motivated by fear” that really resonated with me 🥺 it’s amazing how powerful it can be to acknowledge something like that so I can be intentional about working on that for myself. I’m so glad I found your little corner of KZbin!

[@SahiraJPoetry]

I’m an author, but I’ve been working on making bookish stickers, stationary etc and I really felt worried about not having anyone interested. Even with my books I’ve felt like I’m not making a lot of money or have any readers that would support me. It’s still tough, but you give me hope. Thank you for being dedicated to your art and showing how we can do amazing things too.

[@MyConnieD]

You are REALLY good at this and being in front of the camera. Most importantly your articulate on how you describe your business set-up. You have grown so much. You are a shinning star ⭐️ in this world. I am about to turn 60 and recent breast cancer survivor ( that alone is life changing) … and starting my creative journey to my retirement. I am learning more from you than most senior adult artist. Love you … keep on shining. You should be proud of yourself and know that you are making an impact on people of all ages in all phases of life. ❤

[@basharzori]

Your standpoint of collaboration must make you a very successful artist all by itself. You are the first artist whom I have seen suggest working with another artist by submitting their portfolio. Most artists would never go that far during a vlog because (like me) they might feel bombarded or even scammed by others. Even though I have a separate business email for these sorts of things, I would never have the guts to tell people that they can submit their portfolio. Good for you! You are very brave.

[@Ndisalive]

By pricing our items properly for our time we are also normalizing a living wage ❤️😌 thank you for this vid 😊

[@tammydinh]

So true! ❤️❤️🥹

[@abitsai]

yes! it helps other artists charge more as well :)

[@yunlisa2243]

This is true! Prizing by the times any craftsman should be value it more! It’s like this, item costs, how much you use it and how many hours does it take for you to craft one singular item. I wish I can start my own business… because it flexibility and freedom of choice to demolish it or keep it… ❤❤❤

[@yunlisa2243]

And it’s about quality more than quantity. That’s why I like private business. They keep every single item same with quality….

[@yunlisa2243]

😢 sadly, polymer clay isn’t for me since I have very sensitivity skin…. I tried o.o these polymer clays and I freaked out about myself. My body isn’t conditioned to do clay due to the fact my skins is so fragile. I mean, my skin started to peel off just because I rubbed the clay against my palms to make it warm. O.O I’m like nope. 😭 baked clays aren’t for me… unfortunately. But I continue watch it because I enjoy it and very comfy just like the video!

[@zakjackson2610]

"The universe is taking care of me."... That's so heavy for me. I almost feel like a fraud just repeating it here. Thank you for this video. I really needed it.

[@CamilaPradaTV]

Are you doing the Crappy Childhood Fairy practice?

[@Tigerrr_studiess]

tips: -start while you have stability, it takes time to build a brand or build up your quality and doing so when you are still in school or still working a corporate job means you have stability. any income earned from this period it just a bonus. -if your work is part of your passion (like art) it can quickly turn into burnout, try to do something in line with your work for fun, like make a clay sculpture from leftovers as a challenge in your free time. DON’T sell it. you need a clear boundary and this will set it for you. ❤

I’m a self taught graphic designer, photographer, and multi-media visual artist, been running my small business for over 10yrs now, and this was still super helpful. Even just to witness your story and see so much of my own experience in it. “The universe rewards those who have the courage to do what they love” that one keeps me going too. Ugh so good.

[@subliteral]

Mainly people who complain about your prices are simply trying to get you to lower them. The other portion are people who have no real intention to buy anyway. These people are not supportive of your success or prosperity. When they tell you they can buy items like yours more cheaply elsewhere, you can politely steer them to do so and that they can be happy they’ve found a bargain. Sometimes they try to hurt your feelings at this point , and when they inevitably tell you that won’t succeed they’ve told you what they really think of you. You lose nothing by refusing people who won’t pay you a fair price.

I saw this video in my feed from previous searches and here's what I can tell you right off the bat as to why you're so successful: It's what Scott Adams (the creator of Dilbert) calls a "talent stack." I see 4 things in particular: You are gorgeous, you are brilliant, you came up with the perfect business name, and you came up with the perfect product (those beautiful hand-made polymer clay goods that you showed). That is a stack of things that when put together, you will generally succeed.

[@noellecarries]

As someone with bad health (nausea and migraines daily) and anxiety, I've put off pursuing anything with art because I thought making art was only for people who could afford to as a hobby and not do it as an actual job. Only later did I realize so much of my fear stemmed from my fear of exposure, not knowing what to do business-wise, and thinking going to college will leave me poor on the street or working at a fast-food chain. So much of what I was told in school was just "do whatever makes you the most money" and not whatever makes you feel the most fulfilled in life. It depressed me for a while and recently, I've started clawing my way out of the big pit to finally start my art journey. Living in FL means I have to at least make enough money to afford a car (can't walk anywhere) and pay off the house when I get it, so the bar I'm setting for myself is already dream high. Thank you for your great advice and insight into the processes of a small art business! ❤️☺️ Your Maxine is adorable.

Now I had a mini notebook of ideas which developed in 4-5 months. I am a 39-year-old person who specializes in a different profession but has always been in love with painting... You and the book save my love and live of Art... Thank you, thank you thank you so much 🥰🥰🥳🙏🙏🙏

Tammy I’m obsessed with your videos, every day I come back from work and i open you channel while eating my dinner. You bring comfort and all your advices are on point! Please keep going you have Admirable talent 💖

I have been a resin artist for two years now, yet made my first sale at the beginning of this year. You are for sure an inspiration and I am so grateful you talk about real life and you give me hope that I can sell my art at a price that I know it is worth. I will be successful ❤😊

[@strawberryfox8819]

I decided that I really wanna put myself and my art out there this year and hopefully start a small business. I just to make adorable, pretty, artsy things that bring people joy. It'll be hard to balance with a full time university degree but I think it's possible. Your videos really help with that.

You can do it!!!!!

I dont know you internet stranger but Im rooting for you ! The universe is taking care of you

I was actually using this video as a way of ‘research’ and I’ve always been very anxious when it comes to posting my art. This video really calmed my nerves and that fear went away a bit. Learning as we go on and really staying passionate with our work makes everything seem okay.

Your videos have inspired me so much over the past few months. I finally started my little shop on Etsy!! I want to make classic, cottagecore, and antique-inspired goodies. 💕 Unrelated but WHERE did you get your skirt? It's sooo cute!! Thanks for being an inspiration 🥰

[@yessicahartman2108]

thank you for your video. I'm a web dev, but an artist at heart. I have been looking at trends bc I want to start my own business and have been lost on where/how to start. What I took away from your video, don't look at trends, be the trend and focus on my art, and not other ppl's art. Thank you!

[@Starlighttgenesis]

OH MY 200,000!? I'm so happy for you!😊 Thankyou for your videos bring me soo much comfort and confidence 💖You are my biggest inspire ❤

[@lihneyy]

its so good that you mentioned that its important to start out of passion! Start drawing, crafting etc. because you love it and you like spending your time with it and eventually you have your own business and can make a living with what you love!

[@taahreemfatima255]

Seems like she's taking care of herself.

[@thompsonsarah73]

Thank you so much for being honest and vulnerable. You are very inspiring

[@leho_123]

as great as your story sounds, its hard to believe this type of art is getting 13k a month. just cant imagine that many people buying these types of items consistently. but if true thats hopeful for artists

[@m.g.4830]

There’s an audience for everything but she’s also worked really hard and for years to create a strong brand to accompany her actual products. I think she also has an income breakdown video where she explains from how many sources her income comes from, apart from selling her clay figures. It is really inspiring because it helped me start my own business. I was like, this brand that seeks worked so hard to make and keep makes ME want to buy from her so I should focus on making my own strong brand

[@strawberryfox8819]

Well, she sells those clay friends at an average of 50 euros, I'm not sure if she charges shipping. Dividing 13k through 50 makes about 260, so around that many people had to buy from her shop in a month. Given that she ships worldwide and has an audience of 200k, that number is small in comparison. So for someone of her following size, 200-300 a month is doable.

I watched this video when you first posted it. Back then I was so burnt out that I couldn’t even finish it. And now Im so inspired and motivated and my whole life has shifted alhamdulillah. It’s amazing how time changes everything.

[@MultiKwolf]

i know this isnt the only thing you do, just like the rest of those "how to make 200,000 k usd a month " utubers, its not a simple as you said in your video, be realistic please, this kind of income is unrealistic for an honest work, either you're doing something scammy or ur parents are rich lol.

[@LAQueja]

Maybe it is a trendy product she made. And she's just talking about 1 month. If you're looking for youtube videos for income ideas to be lazy and make bank get real. Just wish her luck🎉

What a beautiful life you have carved for yourself. May the spirits of inspiration forever whisper in your dreams.
