[@nataliemelasecca4873]

Hi I love your videos Alex!!!

[@AlexInnovations]

thank you! :)

[@emmabehrens1106]

Thank you so much for making this! Could you maybe make a video specifically about international shipping?

[@evelynguzman4490]

Ahhhh, this was so helpful! Are you going to make a part two??!! :D

[@Stormrunner-dv7kc]

Could you maybe point me in the direction of information about when you need to worry about taxes? I found the video super helpful, but heard conflicting information about tax stuff from someone else and haven't been able to find a source for either thing. Thanks you so much for this video, and your entire channel, its been super helpul to see another teenager running a business.

[@sandy15523]

Great video! All of yours are great!

[@shrek1648]

[@melissa_marie_1183]

Very informative 👏 👌

[@shyandakota931]

I'd love to start an etsy but im so slow when ot comes to making bracelets😖

[@michellelugo8232]

Can you make a video on how you make recycled packaging?

[@Laurasofiamontesl]

2 minutes early 💙💙💙

[@AlexInnovations]

yay!!!

[@shrek1648]

also your etsy is the best in the world!! And one question. How would I do a custom order on etsy. I want to only let one come in at a time so I am not overwhelmed by all the orders.

[@Noodles-_]

wOw loads of words :0 nice video :3

[@quiciyanbatu7593]

💖💖💖from phillipines

[@ellareese9571]

Ahhh I need some help! Nobody is seeing my bracelets anymore!

[@anastasiamurynyuk4864]

Yes sirrrrr hehe

[@dendrix6704]

do you have any video, when you give your bracelets on your hands?

[@yluxcreative9961]

Hi Alex, thank you for sharing all the great ideas. Sorry to ask you, we would like to know if you have experienced any issues trying to contact Etsy Support? We couldn't find any contact number nor a virtual chat for support and all what we find on the forums are negative feedbacks and complaints about payment issues, chat support that has been removed, accounts been hacked or delays on inquiries for support requests. As per now we are seriously thinking twice if we shall continue with Etsy platform or not. We sincerely appreciate your feedback. 🙏🏼

[@emma-ml5zh]

omg i’m earlyyyy

[@AlexInnovations]

yay!

[@hhopkins8227]

Hello!!!

[@AlexInnovations]

hi!

[@willowdove6703]

How do you decide pricing? And figure out if it’s cost effective to even do?

[@maddys9877]

I'm starting an etsy in a month haha

[@hdtv2186]

Hiiii, I love your videos 💜💕I have a question , so I have done many 16 string bracelets and I am in love with the starburst and I know its 34 strings but I really wanna doooo it, do u think I should do it?

[@AlexInnovations]

H&D TV maybe try the mini starburst first, it’s 22 strings! i have a tutorial for it :)

[@JosePerez-rg6wy]

I think you still have to file taxes even if Etsy doesn’t give you a 1099 I would look into so you don’t get into problems later on

[@baileyl5023]

Yayyyyy

[@thetulalula3654]

Could I use the patterns from bracelet book or would I have to ask permission of the creator of the pattern?

[@AlexInnovations]

yep, they’re available for free use! but i’m sure the pattern creator wouldn’t mind being credited :)

[@thetulalula3654]

@@AlexInnovationsthank you!

[@maryjaneyount7931]

How do you open a shop as a minor? Do I put it under my parents information? And then if I do put it under their information how do I switch all that out once I turn 18 with my own information on etsy??

[@jen-gx7gt]

hi Alex I have a question!! it doesn't let me continue making an etsy till I add a social security number but my parents won't let me use theirs :( im 17, will it still work if I use mine?

[@themeltedchocolate]

What app do you use to edit your photos?

[@brookeg2446]

I just started an etsy shop called DreamyKnotsCo using this video as a guide. I sell handmade bracelets (most of them are alphas). I can't wait to get my first order! :)

[@chloewimbish6909]

Wait when do you post

[@sophiem22]

Does the bank account have to be your parents if you’re underage?

[@AlexInnovations]

Sophie M I doubt it, i’m quite sure just the legal name should be your parent’s. I’d suggest calling Etsy just to make sure.

[@koolkatcrafts2296]

Early!

[@AlexInnovations]

yay!!

[@gilcohen4017]

can you put like an auction on etsy

[@AlexInnovations]

Gil Cohen no :( ebay is better for that!

[@catkat4619]

I wanna start Etsy but I'm 14 😑

[@AlexInnovations]

Katarina Mali if you stay till the end, i describe how to get around that :)

hi!

[@N_Forgotten]

Lowkey think you were ranting a bit 😂 great video tho!!

[@AlexInnovations]

N_Forgotten 1302 i just want to help out 🥺

[@themeltedchocolate]

I truly do not understand the point of comments like these

[@jesspowls8394]

Etsy is kinda played out and I think they got clout as opposed to AMAZON. . . . When you open up a amazon account to be a amazon seller... then you have the amazon insurance for the shipping sweetie. No worries. =)

[@noemimayerova3066]

roses are red i do disgress you dont wannna tell a que tutorial like you didnt put in your adress sry if the beggining is wrom lmao

[@TeenageSmoking.]

Are there ways to sell stuff not through the internet.

[@ShinyGolduck5]

Stands maybe??
