SHOPEE START UP 1/4

HOW I STARTED MY SHOPEE STORE WITH LESS THAN P1,000

Hi friends, I know this is in no way a never-been-done-before strategy to start a small business, but I wanted to share this just in case you're interested in producing original merch/stationery as well. Of course, it helped a lot that I have background in branding and graphic design, so this guide focuses more on the business side of it.

It's amazing that there's a number of local printing shops who are so willing to work with small artists like me who are starting out. And, even more amazing, is the amount of people who continue to support artists and makers, so whether you've bought from us once or more, or simply shared or liked our posts, know that you are AMAZING for helping out and that we're forever grateful for your support. I think I speak for other artists as well when I say that being able to create art that people would actually put value in—whether it's appreciating it, sharing it with others, or paying for it—means the world to us. So thank you, really.
