This video is a must-listen for artists who are aiming to achieve monthly sales of 100,000 yen or more. An artist who produces eraser stamps and has achieved monthly sales of 100,000 yen is asking for advice, saying, "I want to achieve 300,000 yen in the future, but I can't imagine it." This time, instead of talking about what they are currently unable to do or what they need to improve, we talked about "four paths" as a way to decide on a direction for the future. ▼ Japan’s largest handmade goods mail order site “minne” by GMO Pepabo https://bit.ly/38arrnC ▼ For those who want to sell handmade works online https://bit.ly/3NofOJX ▼ Table of contents 00:00 Greetings, reading of questions 03:03 Gallery introduction 06:33 Answers, summary explanation “Assuming there are four crossroads, what are your proposals?” 08:53 ① The path of increasing the number of original items in line with the theme of the Stardust Museum without sticking to eraser stamps 12:07 ② The path of continuing sales activities after understanding the limitations of your own production, focusing on carving eraser boards 14:07 ③ The path of increasing the value of your works by using stamps + art 16:04 ④ The path of expanding your business by incorporating purchased goods 18:51 Talk about sales, profits, priorities, and importance, common to all genres How to think when aiming for “monthly sales of 100,000 yen or more” 21:33 Comment introduction, 100 yen shop business and handmade work sales thinking / customer differences ▼ "Good morning! minne LAB" is always looking for troubles of artists.

I have been reading your books and Oha Lab repeatedly. The reason I asked this question is because I wanted to learn about making a living from handmade crafts. I am strongly attracted to the fact that there is no "happy end or bad end" in dark fantasy, and in order to give shape to that appeal, I create eraser stamps based on an original story called "Records of Stardust." I only recently solidified the concept above, and I am gradually making works with different atmospheres private. I am currently working full-time as a medical professional, but I changed to working only day shifts, 4 days a week, from September in order to increase my active hours. I would like to eventually make a living solely from handmade items. I have been making eraser stamps for about 10 years, and it has been about 2 years since I started selling them on minne, but it has been the past month or two since I solidified the concept and started working in earnest. My current goal is 200,000 yen, and my goal is to make more than 300,000 yen a month to make a living. At the moment, I am conscious of: - Pricing - Increasing the amount of information in photos and descriptions - Unifying the worldview - Posting on SNS - Interacting with customers - As easy-to-understand gallery explanations and self-introductions as possible, etc. Since I started focusing on the above, I am grateful that my monthly sales have increased from 10,000 to 20,000 yen to about 100,000 yen, but I am also feeling anxious because I cannot imagine reaching my goal of 200,000 to 300,000 yen. I would appreciate it if you could point out what I need to change and how I should approach customers in order to make a living from handmade items in the future. Thank you very much. * * "Good Morning! minne LAB" is an official video distribution that minne delivers to artists who are working on crafts.
