this is how I would start a rug making
business if I was starting one in 2023
step one make a memorable username or
slash business name having a memorable
name is very important because you want
people to be able to share it with other
people and remember you when they try
searching you up on any platform want to
have your username consistent throughout
all platforms that way it's super easy
for people to find you maybe even try
and make something that's catchy like
for example let's say you're making it
about cars then let's you would call it
something like crazy car rugs something
simple like that and something that's
not spelled weird or with numbers at the
end is very important in my opinion and
it looks professional too number two is
pretty obvious you have to buy the
supplies and I sell the supplies on my
website I makerugs.com I'll have the
link in the description but we sell the
rug gun
comes in a box like this and it looks
like this this one's better than other
ones on the market because it could do
both cut pile and loop pile versus just
having one that does loop or one that
does cut and I have videos explaining
what those two different settings are
but this gun's very lightweight and easy
to use oh yeah I sell the fabric and
everything you need to get started I
also have a ton of videos on here to
help you make rugs so that's step two of
course you have to buy all the supplies
but once you put the money in to buying
the supplies it kind of pays for itself
after you sell a few rugs number three
is get the hang of making rugs and make
at least five rugs before you start
trying to sell them that's just me in my
opinion some people are actually really
good from the start like my sister when
she started she started making rugs she
got the hang of it like the first time
she made a rug and she made like a
really good rug but for me when I first
started and I had known information it
took me about five different tries to
get like a really good rug that I could
sell so make some rugs for your friends
and family and then start posting them
on social media which gets me to my
number four
and that's start posting them on social
media and social media as in YouTube
shorts Instagram Instagram reels and
Tick Tock those are the three platforms
that I highly recommend you can have a
video that has only like 10 views and
then your next video could potentially
get like 1.2 million views out of
nowhere so posting on reels and posting
on YouTube shorts is like a must and
make sure that all your usernames
throughout all your platforms are all
the same username that way people can
find you super easily so whenever you
make a rug always film the process
whether that be in this format like in
an actual video or in the short form
format which is the long ways
um preferably I would say in the short
form format because that's what a ton of
people are watching right now number
five I think it is
um find your I'm not even gonna do
numbers anymore but I'm gonna say
the next one is find your Niche and this
is pretty important if you want to gain
an audience somewhat fast and ways that
I've seen people do this is let's say
again that you're making rugs about cars
go to different Discord servers or go to
different Reddit servers and post your
work of different cars that you made
like let's say for example you made a
GTR into a rug and you want to share it
with other people that like GTRs there's
a chance when you post it on
those platforms that somebody out there
that has a GTR is gonna want their car
as a rug and that's just something that
people love is there's so many people
out there that want custom rugs whether
it be of their cars of their logos
um but yeah if you find a niche like
that and you do a good job making that
rug this guy's gonna show it to all his
other friends that might have a similar
car or might just like cars as well and
they're gonna want one of their car and
then the word just gets spread like
crazy so
doing this is gonna gain you business
really fast of course you have to be
consistent and posting it like in
different places at first but once you
get enough people to get the word around
and you post consistently you're gonna
start to gain an audience from it once
you have like a decent following I guess
I'd say maybe
are not even a decent following once you
have like enough posts like let's say
you have I don't know at least five
posts on your Instagram I highly
recommend doing this and this is helped
me a lot in the past to gain an audience
and it's just reaching out to people
that are in your Niche that have like a
large following like let's say again
um it's a YouTuber that does stuff about
cars or it's somebody that does stuff
about like I don't know it could even be
just like a Blog a vlogger that does
like videos and
if you reach out to them on Instagram
and say I want to make you a rug for
free in exchange for you posting it on
your story or you posting it as a post
and tagging me
um there's a chance that somebody out
there is going to want to do it because
it's not making them lose any business
in any way and they're getting a free
product out of it it's a win-win for
both of you guys and I've done this a
lot in the past for
numerous amount of things like I made
art for different people and I sent it
to them in exchange for them posting it
and people just do this so often and a
lot of people don't know about this but
it's very helpful and it doesn't really
take much money either and you have to
think of it as an investment like year
spending maybe around thirty dollars
maybe even less to make this rug for
this person and you're sending it to
them and in exchange they're showing it
to their big audience recommend doing it
for people that have like at least 20K
followers or more because then you're
gonna see some results and you're going
to get DMS from people saying hey how
much for a custom rug and then you could
tell them your prices continue this
process and you'll gain an audience
significantly fast if you do it right
of course it takes time and of course
it's like it's gonna take some work to
do but if you're having fun with it it
doesn't even feel like work making rugs
is actually pretty fun
I find enjoyment out of it it's pretty
peaceful to do and just listen to music
and make rugs I want to end this video
by saying there's a ton of people out
there like thousands if not millions of
people that want to have a custom rug
and there's a very small amount of
people still that actually make the
custom rugs so if you want to be one of
those people that are making rugs go to
my website I makerugs.com and I have
everything you need to get started as
well as a ton of videos on here
to help you along the way but yeah
there's there's a small niche of people
that make rugs and a large amount of
people that want custom rugs so I still
think that there's a lot of potential to
grow a successful business in 2023 for
rug making and if you like this video
