I hope people get how much you just showed them. And... I don't mean making freeze-dried candy. Marketing and selling the product should be their next focus. Thanks for the video.

What's missing here is out of that profit you need to subtract kitchen rent...electric cost run the freeze drier and your other equipment, lights, alarm service bill if you have one...etc to get a proper profit vs costs.

After reading some of the comments below I just wanted to express the SIGNIFICANCE of this FREE content to people. Yes, it should be understood that this isn't a bottom line total expenditure sheet, but he verbalizes that. The beauty of it is that you can customize it to your specific needs. I dont' know how to use Google docs, I know I could learn, but it's the basic process of figuring out your costs here. This is a gift, look a gift horse in the mouth! I used to do a lot of sewing machine projects for craft shows, etc. I knew to the penny what each item cost me. I did not include my sewing room overhead because it was negligible....and I lived here for goodness sake. Take what you are gifted and run with it!

I've seen you mention it in replies to other comments, but I am very anxiously awaiting the ROI spreadsheet :)

Great videos. Never thought I'd be into this!

Heya David, been watching a lot of your videos. Great stuff. Thanks for making these types of videos.

You can save time when writing formulas in your spreadsheet. You don't need to use =sum() in the examples you're giving here. You can just do =CELL1*CELL2 for multiplying two cells together. The sum function is supposed to be used to create totals by summing up a range of cells. For example: =SUM(C3:C5) in your example would give you the total cost of purchasing the taffy, bags and label.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. I’m still in the process of figuring it all out.

[KonsciousBeau]

[lifeisallaboutit]

[kodywillnauer]

Great concluding statement on competition. Cheers.

[randUSA]

Love the videos and all the valuable info and links are appreciated!! Pretty new & just barely started with Etsy.. Really wasn't sure how to price things, can you share your Excel template. That was AWESOME!

[JohnDoe-htde]

What about the cost of energy to run the freeze dryer and the rental of the commercial kitchen. Can you do another video factoring these expenses into the mix?

[richardoder]

You need to figure in the 24 hours of processing time. The freeze drier cost $3, 200 and how many batches can you do before the FD fails or needs replacing.

[MARCIA.ZZZZZZ]

Did I miss something, but where is your electrical cost/ consumption (kWh) used to run the freeze dryer cycle?

[PlanB-Idaho]

Could I ask you where you got your bags. My window bags are either mylar silver or black. I assume your avery labels are transparent? Also in Idaho!! ** Sorry found answers to these questions in your pinned video. Thank you for all the information you are willingly sharing.

[DLuxProductions]

Excellent video. I was wondering, where do you get your bags from? Do you purchase them with the label pre-printed on it or do you stamp it yourself?

[andrewduncan]

Thanks for the video. Curious that i don't see the commercial kitchen cost in the calculation. About how much do they charge you per cycle? Appreciate the info
