watch me make & sell a new product in 5 hours ⏰ small business diaries

[@tammydinh]

hi friends, thanks so much for being here :,) handmade art will always be part of my business, but i also think it's good to make things that are more accessible (price-wise) and show others that they can still pursue their small business with limited time & resources. handmade art is very time-consuming, shipping materials are costly, etc. so this is an alternative way to get started

[@paulinehaas9726]

Your like my favorite KZbinr in the world btw I sent you a message on instagram 😊😊😊!!

Hi Tammy ok ok your like the best artist when it comes to polymer clay I am so happy your shop sold out and Wana know something on my shop launch last week I only sold one item 😅

Everyone needs to know, that she’s already built her following so that’s why the success came so quickly. Please do not be discouraged if you don’t see the same success in the same amount of time. I love her channel and her work btw not a diss to her, just a notation.

[@elylioney6390]

I was thinking the same thing. Also, she already has some skill in illustrating.

[@LittleKikuyu]

Yeah there’s four years of work behind all of what we see ☺️ We can always be inspired by Tammy but shouldn’t ever compare ourselves to anyone but our past selves I think! 💪

[@justme.11]

Inspired. I know it would take a while to get sales since I'd be starting from scratch but this makes it feel super doable.

People say 'Master of Digital Business' was banned on multiple platforms for revealing too much about easy online income. The author has gone missing, but the book is still on Borlest.

[@avamenza6270]

I just looked and couldn´t find a book titled ¨Master of Digital Business¨ on that website..

At the age of 65 I started a micro business selling off loom bead woven jewellery. I’ve done mainly local fairs & am thinking about going online (there weren’t an computers when I grew up so this is all very new) I’m enjoying what I do & that’s all that’s important to me x

[@natashav7173]

Well done! All the best to you .

[@ChaosOrZen]

Granny I'm 65 too. Computers and online shops have been around for a long time now. Get off of it and get moving. This is my year to start after years of procrastinating. If I had started when I first realized I could, I'd be 10 years in business by now. Time is short. Get going now.

Think puffer bunny would make a cute mug, maybe with some winter or mountain vibes thrown in

[@SweetLittleTouch]

Omg yes!

Ah yes! As a Coloradian I would totally get both the camper mug and especially a winter mug!

I'll think about it.

[@kayafrances1879]

Would you ever think about making long videos with less editing of days where you just sit down and sculpt? I love watching others create while I do so that style would be great for others like me!! Love your energy and style ❤

I love these too! Esp when they have a voice over with just yapping insightful stuff (which they give us here!!)

AURGHHGGI LOVE YOUR CHANNEL you’ve inspired me to start my own small art business, you are my idol

[@PentragonCosplay]

Print on demand really seems to be a good solution for everyone who has a full-time-job. Setting 5 hours aside on a weekend is manageable if you really wish it (hard to do on a normal weekday though, there are maybe 1 or 2 hours you can cut, simply because you are too exhausted to work too much after a normal shift).

[@iDontknowWhatwhoWhy]

I love the clay with me videos you used to make!! 💗💗💗 I was hoping you would make more of those, just cozy footage of you sculpting, But I LOOVE you're current videos too

[@tammydinh]

aahhhh i'll make more of those too soon! and OMG your profile picture!!!!

[@ZahrarKaiser]

@@tammydinh hi love your videos ❤

[@paulinehaas9726]

[@klawson371]

I might consider it.

[@janicegaspar]

I tried drop shipping before via printify as well, but eventually stopped because you can't quality control your items and that really bothered me. When a customer had an issue with their order, I couldn't really help them either since everything was processed via printify. It's a great option for ecommerce, but I care too much about quality. I don't want to attach my name to a product I can't see and hold and inspect before shipping out to my wonderful customers. This is just my personal opinion.

[@elizabuga4337]

Thank you for pointing this out ❤

[@PentragonCosplay]

That´s very important to consider. I think if you have enough time to somit yourself than it’s better to do so. But depending on how big the own business becomes and how many orders you get each day it’s sometimes the only solution to outsource (or employ someone who do all the packaging for you)

[@shareyah8]

This is my same issue. I don't like not having control of the quality. Don't want my customers to get something poor quality and think I was okay with that being put out for them.

[@danicarodney]

this is so amazing! never would’ve thought it’d be so simple! i would love to see another version of this video where you make another product & take your time, then compare & contrast the results!

✨Camping aesthetics✨ without the camping is a mood though. Thank you for showing me what can be possible in a short amount of time! I've been putting off creating merch because I always think I need all this time outside my full time job. I also really love your art 😍

[@klawson371]

Ur welcome and thanx.

[@Pwuffy]

This is so smart!! Having to not pack is a such a luxury I wish I will have one day 😩💅

[@tammydinh]

i just wish you could customize packaging with printify 😭 i want them to come with cute little cards

[@sofistyx]

​@@tammydinh They offer package inserts too in the branding section! It costs a bit more but maybe that could be an option for you? I love your videos, the editing was so good on this one, especially by the designing part where you blended the 2 footages together yourself drawing and the design in making. I loved that! Great choice of music too.

For those who are wondering what's that rectangle thing in 10:42, i just googled it's called a shopify counter. Btw ur welcome✨

It was really fun to see the print on demand process for a shop. I imagine its harder for a non established and new etsy shop which is one reason I've been so afraid to start one. The campingbara is so cute!

[@danyalacarte]

wow so beautiful. Your videos are so great and I love watching you work and everything. This video is so authentic, thank you for it.

[@ivanas442]

Thank you this was helpful! I never understood how to make mockup but seeing how you did it made it easier to understand. I decided to start over on my business & this looks like a good idea to try printify (my old shop was redbubble).

[@shAwdy300O]

honored to be here 🫡

[@ArtofAntonieta]

this reminds me when i was in "cowboy romance era" mood and i was designing ideas for stickers for any readers who love a cowboy romance. Your videos are very calming and in a way, like therapy, while I work on my own clay pieces. I hope to express my own story with my art 😁

[@Spopaholic25]

Love this, amazing how you made your goal! Wondering if you can show a video in the future of how you glaze polymer clay with UV resin (including how you get the bottom glazed, how you hold the piece, how you wash the brushes)? Thanks so much!

[@dearvirginia]

this so helpful, I was debating on using Printify for things like tshirts and bags, and seeing you use it was definitely a great selling point for them, it didn't seem painful at all!!

[@annipthatsme]

I love this! I have a small business as well and have been thinking of trying something like this but it seems so easy that now I HAVE to try!!

I just ordered the mug and it's due to arrive today!❤ I'm so excited and finally got me some Vomfy CO swag. 😂 I love camping and moved back to Houston for personal reasons from Colorado Springs, CO.🏔🌄 I still visit CO regularly. Camping can be fun. I recommend camping atleast for 1 day just to see how it goes. you can still work on your sketching, etc. I truely believe it can be even more inspiring when you are in nature. it's like your mind goes to a peaceful place and it feels healing. it really opens up your mind for ideas. (I gives me that effect 😊)

[@andreasegura3988]

PLEASE PLEASE make a yt video on how you glaze your charms with uv resin and what you do with the brushes after!

hey, i am totally in love with your clay artstyle! it has inspired me to make my own clay models/charms. since i am still new to the clay community, i wanted to ask if the art style you use to make your clay items has a particilar name? (much like the miffy charms) or is it something you've created from scratch? i really like the style you use and i would like to use it to make some models inspired from yours.. probably even sell them if i am able to learn how to do it well. i wanted to ask if that's okay? if not, then i will try to come up with some art style of my own! thank you!❤

Hi Tammy, go girl! Love your designs and your videos. So love your mug... hey I was thinking, maybe you could also POD 3 tshirt designs... there are 3 scenes on your mug design... each would make an awesome matching Tshirt to match!!! Wishing you well. Kind soft hugs from Australia.
