Was starting a product business a mistake?

"Thank you for your engagement" is such a beautiful response to a bad-faith comment.

"I want to be smart. (And hot.) But mostly smart." would be an INCREDIBLE t-shirt

The journey has been, and will continue to be, a pleasure to watch. I use my light calendar every day. You got this!

Absolutely love how you're so transparent!! Keep on pushing🤞🏼

Life lube 😂😂😂 honestly a great way to put it

“I want to be smart…and hot.” You’ve succeeded.

We ❤‍🔥 you Simone. Startups are so so so hard, especially manufacturing. We believe in you!

Knowing how to fuck up in many different ways is my most precious knowledge. I went broke 2 times, and all I can tell is if you want to succeed just don't give up. Together with in the most desperate times you will be the most creative. Keep it up Simone! We believe in you!

I'm not buying what you made, I'm buying an incremental improvement in my life. The money I am paying is a "certificate of appreciation".

I actually have the PERFECT use-case for your folding hangers that you couldn't just "turn the hook sideways". I plan on hollowing out the wall behind my front door (only opens 90 degrees) to make cubbies for hanging jackets, umbrellas, etc. A sideways hanger wouldn't fit between the studs.

From $10K to $110K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills.

Hey Simone! As someone who has considered trying to design, make and sell something, the idea is slightly terrifying. I just want to say that I hope you make more videos about your experience in business so I can learn for your experience before learning from my own. The esoteric and banal details of such an undertaking are a fascination to me. I hope you talk more about this because all of your viewers have something to gain. Cheers from Canada! ❤

Glad you're still around. Viva Simone.

I honestly think you don't have to prove anything to anyone. You're one of the smartest and funniest youtubers I could find and it's always a joy to watch your videos. I'd rather see more silly videos full of ads than know you're stressed about some business thing. Really, it's a joy to have your videos land in my feed. Do whatever you feel is the right thing and ignore anyone who doesn't appreciate your work.

I love the folding hangers! I wish I ordered more!

Aww. It's a shame you didn't make money on the calendar. I purchased one for my friends for Christmas. They use it for tracking when they exercise together. I thought it would be nice to have 2 colors where one is for working out individually, and two is for working out together or being bluetooth enabled, but all of that costs even more in development. Regardless, it's an absolutely beautiful piece of art.

I work in market research and product design. I think the main issue with the Yetch store is branding and lack of options for products. The brand you have cultivated on youtube can be described as quirky, however the only item that can be considered quirky in there is the incomplete puzzle (your best selling product). If it is within the scope of your budget, I would honestly consider working with independent designers around the world who are designing things that are out of the norm, so that you can boost the amount of products you have in the store. If that is not a possibility, staying true to your own design philosophy for the stuff you make for yourself should also work. (Also please dont take my suggestions as criticism, I love what you do. You are one of my favourite creators on the platform.)

Adam Savage said if you arent a little uncomfortable with what you are charging, you are probably not charging enough. As a small business owner selling items I make, Ive taken that adbice to heart

I have a multitool with your words: "Don't be lazy. Do the thing. Do it properly." engraved on the side. These are the truest words in all of time and space and I take them to heart. It's the reason I ordered your product..

Simone dropped the smoothest transition and advertised her products at 10:30 - how is no one talking about it ?
