How I Started my $100,000 Etsy Embroidery Business From Home

good morning guys welcome back to my channel it be new here make sure you subscribe so this video is gonna be a little different than most of my videos I've gotten so many questions about you know let's see how I

started

it how did I get into

embroidery

and such so I thought it'd just be easier to make a whole video versus answering each question individually so before I I was in college when all of this

started

everything

started

I was in college that was my senior year um and I ended up pregnant with meekest Riley if you guys don't know and um I was working at Target full time 40 hours a week sometimes 50 and I was doing security and obviously being pregnant and doing security I didn't want to ask anything my husband ed whenever asked anything he's just like you didn't you got just just staying

home

just stay

home

so I'm staying

home

and still go to school obviously but you know not making any money and me myself I didn't like that I was trying to I was reselling on Amazon on Amazon on eBay so bring in extra money for myself so I did end up hearing about the flea market I went to the flea market and that's where everything

started

I've been a beautiful lady miss Barbara and she hinted to me that you know somebody who was right in this area did tutus and birthday items and she made a lot of money and I thought about it I was like oh cool but as they...

went by a lot of people were coming to find this lady when issue an issue where is she and I was like oh maybe I'll try making tutus you know so I went online and found a video of how to make a tutu so I found one to jo-ann's found the supplies that I needed and went ahead and tried and I said wow this was easy easy so made about five tutus and I took them with me the next day to the flea market and they all sold like I was like what okay so I guess this does work so like me was

started

asking me also do you make the shirts with the names and I'm like no and a lot of the others things I was hearing was that you know she was charging so much money but she was not doing um she wasn't doing

embroidery

she was doing the heat press items so people were saying stuff fades but they were paying $200 for these outfits so I'm like listen I don't need to even charge you 200 liter ball in my opinion so I tried to find something else so I went online and it's research in which I pick out something that wouldn't fade and that's what I found the

embroidery

and I had no clue but

embroidery

absolutely nothing so I found Pamela's video sterling Styles when she was making the Alwyn see that was the first first video I ever watched with Pamela and since then I watch it every single day every single day so it was about almost three years ago when I first

started

watching...

Pamela I

started

watching her videos and into her videos you know she just she described a lot and you could see machines she had and then she had it in the description with stabilizer she just went to do a lot of detail so everything that she had you pretty much can find on Amazon um so I went to Amazon I got the machine the PE 770 now they don't Southern at Amazon they sell of a p/e 800 which is obviously gonna be a newer machine because it has been three years so I would get that is I'm currently looking at it at this moment is 570 if you can't find the P 770 you can try to find it but this is the five Sundays only what I see on Amazon at the moment so because it's what she was using in almost every I could say at least 80% of every embroiderer who starts out they start out with this machine and I would start out with this machine as well if you are new and would like to get into

embroidery

so I watched her videos and I decided to you know make little sayings on Wednesday so I was strictly doing Wendy's at first I was doing little sayings and they would sell too but I'm like oh wow this works this is working so I'm making tutus completely different I went there to sell my bath and Bodyworks in the trade secret not children's clothing and you know I was like well again this makes money so why not I cut spending my time there every single weekend for about a...

year um people

started

asking for bigger shirts and all stuff and I'm like I don't do it dull and this little machine it's not gonna work on don't cuz it is a 5x7 meaning that's the area of 5 inches by 7 inches that you can sew embroider excuse me so she was like ask for bigger and bigger shirts I don't like well I need to find something bigger so I looked online and I went to find another machine like the brother P 770 that was just had a bigger

embroidery

size so I think it was like I don't remember it was bigger so I found a dealer and they had it and it was like $5,000 and I'm like yeah and no don't thank you I know but my husband had seen this machine next to it I'm like there's no way I don't know how to use that looks so scary oh my gosh so at the other day we decided to get this machine but we did not get it from that dealer we just looked at it I looked it up online and everything so they don't take him back to the flea market and legitimately be my husband he works five days a week he was coming up the market every single Saturday Sunday Saturday Sunday he so much he worked seven days a week in the please market you had to be there 6:00 a.m. and you could not leave until 5:30 so you were there the whole time otherwise they'd find you and everything not fine to find you for not being open on time so we would love that machine ...

and these machines are about 100 pounds we love the machine they're all the supplies all stuff to make tutus I've made teachers on the spot I make stuff on the spot you know cuz that's where the money is you know so I was like I need you no need to make money I'm not working I'm working on the weekends I still was going to school full-time we have a newborn baby she needs formula diapers and everything so I was kind of out of necessity more so than than a like it but you know when you start seeing people's reaction some things you make it was like oh I like doing this you know people are enjoying the product that I'm giving them and they find equality so I really like that aspect of it so that the thing I'm doing that for about a year until I felt comfortable to leave the koomer and just do everything straight online I was running both at the same time I

started

at sea but I was still in school I was in college so I have a school full time working flea market every weekend so I legitimately didn't burn seven days a week I had I was just so so so busy and my husband who already worked five days a week also had to come to play my trophy on the weekend because obviously it's not the safest you know so I did that and once I became comfortable with trying to do just at sea and I won my time back because at this point my husband's mother had my daughter...

five days she runs a daycare so she had Friday's week but then she also had on the weekends so she had her seven days seven days long and you know people burn out you know you get tired so I was like I'm sick of this I graduated college so I was like okay schools done school's out the way so that's a huge huge load off so I have a lot more time so I left the flea market and just put everything online on

Etsy

so he was a little tricky in the beginning I didn't have a lot of orders on

Etsy

to begin with the brother p800 um it was very beginner friendly and like I said Pamela was using it and it was easy to watch her videos and you know follow along and you know it just made it a lot easier so thanks to Pamela and I legitimately told my husband is all the time if it was not for Pamela's videos I would have and figured I hadn't brought her she did a great job explaining it in her video I learned everything from Pamela that's legitimately the truth her YouTube is sterling Styles a lot of you already watch her so hey you would already know so that's why I learned how to embroider and then from there you know I just built my knowledge based on trial and error trial and error the orders I didn't end up getting this machine right here as the first machine because the P 770 he do have to hold and babysit it and monitor it this one you didn't you can let it...

just the shirts go as long as they were big enough except like onesies you should watch them but that's what I did and then a few months later I got guess you can't see it but I got won't get this one this one it's a six needle machine and then I think three months after I got this one I got another six needle machine and that is how much my orders did increase iodine an invitation from Amazon this and they invited me to join their Amazon handmade section so I did accept that and there is what how I got the second one why I got it cuz I was getting a lot of orders and such I will be doing another video on pretty much how many sales I got when I first

started

Etsy
