[@thelostentrepreneur8146]

I WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. I WILL BREAK PAST MY FEAR BARRIER! THIS COMMENT IS PROOF!

[@urbansky7278]

That's so crazy that we all feel some fear to get on the other side!! What is your biggest on the journey?

[@thelostentrepreneur8146]

@@urbansky7278 I used to be scared to be myself and even be center of attention. My biggest journey is my starting my youtube. My first video I literally screamed in the air before I uploaded it because of the anxiety of what would happen. I uploaded it and since then I learned it doesn't matter what other people think along as you Believe you can do it

[@TheBrandHustler]

I used an extreme Instagram strategy when I first started, then I took months off from Instagram and focused on scaling through email, video, and advertising automation. There's definitely a way to succeed either way but combining forces can supercharge your growth! Great content, like always Erin❣️

[@trispr]

You're right! I really enjoy your content as well!

[@TheBossNitaRay]

Your vocabulary is outstanding and the way you articulate and convey your thoughts is wonderful.

[@jeresspace6551]

This video is right on time for me because I'm trying to say "peace" to Corporate America!!! Good luck to everyone!!!

[@arnellaj.9146]

I feel you and I’m trying to say peace to working a 9 to 5 and get my own thing going!!

[@donniep.1513]

Same. Good luck to you on your endeavors. Link your socials if you have because I’d love to support

Thank you! "Be comfortable on camera" hit home for me! ❤

[@HeyyyHR]

Opening up my personal life to the internet scares me the most... great video! Definitely using your tips to improve my HeyyyHR Channel

[@travernadouglas905]

Erin you have done it again! Thank you for this video! My big hang up about social media is getting on camera, I am a fashion stylist and makeup artist, and i model however in the past I didn’t enjoy it, however at the end of the the videos and pictures I get great results and feedback, 2023 is my step out to be the actual face of my brand. Also my hands are a large part of my business so I’m not able to take pictures of myself while working, however another vide of your challenged me to get a tri- pod and just do it myself and use what I have so. I’m creating content soon to launch my KZbin channel!

[@sierraarmstrong4111]

I just wanted to acknowledge how genuine you are I have NEVER seen one content creator tell their audience to go watch a whole different content creator in their business niche! Like that's so amazing!!

[@OlasticViews]

Shoutout to everyone that’s trying ❤️

[@Melda242]

Thank you and God bless you!

[@TrudyTalee]

We got this !!!

@@TrudyTalee Yass sis!! 💃🏾🙏🏾

[@Stephaniealicianaturalhair]

Thanks :)

[@RikkiSaLess]

This is exactly why I started my channel! I want to show my journey from the very start! before all the success! People always show us when they’ve “made it”. It’s important for people to see the actual steps, time frame, everything! it’s getting off to a slow start, but I’m very determined! my goal was just on a Vision board last month and I’ve taken the first steps to get started! So excited!

[@UneakTershai]

What jams me up with my business is keeping up with posting on ALL the socials ALL day. 💕✨

[@joannhoward790]

Give myself time! That is 'Knowing or understanding that failure is in the plan. And that just bcuz you fail in an area or a something, does not mean that you are a failure. It just means that not everything you do or will do be a go. Learn from it, pull out the nuggets, forgive yourself if necessary, restrategize and move on!'

[@thef.a.d.network12]

The thing that trips me up the most is definitely being more active with my followers + being consistent with content!

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

Social media is currently growing more than ever before so it’s no surprise to me that it’s one of the best ways to profit in today’s society. Great video and keep up the amazing work! 💪🏻

[@EverythingEverythingwithLayile]

Tou again,,, hi,, i seem to notice you everywhere

[@AmaraFranklin]

I started a subscription box and I was so focused on the actual product and falling in love with what the box could be but I did almost no thought about how to actually gain customers. I needed this video so much. Thank you so much

[@sironeil-personalfinancere9367]

Love this! I'm in the process of trying to start my business with social media. I recently bought my first home/rental property in Brooklyn NY and I created my KZbin chan to document the steps I took!

[@bherrababe2853]

Omg the way I love Olivia Ansell! Her story about her upbringing in Uganda was absolutely inspiring!

[@wandiehazan]

Thank you sooo much for this. You are my girl "in my head". I discovered you at the end of 2019 and in 2020 I binged watched so much our your content. You're truly a business lifesaver and inspiration. And now I'm thinking, Oliva Ansell will be new friend "in my head" for 2021. Thanks for the introduction!

[@valerievaultz2833]

Erin I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do. KZbin introduced me to you and in this video it’s as if you are talking directly to me. I am getting ready to start my own business in the cooking arena “Straight Outta Compton’s Kitchen” I started it as a hobby and I’m going to take it to another level because I create my own recipes, am working on a cookbook, and I am going to start marketing and selling my own breakfast cereals and salad dressing. You’re now another one of mentors. Thanks again. God bless you and everything you put your hand to. Valerie BKA Chef VeeVeo

[@TomFord_]

Your enthusiasm and personable traits really drew me in to subcribe and seek further insights in your content. Which in fact, offers tremendous value. Cause while searching KZbin for influencers benefits to grow a brand the list was long indeed. Great work lovin every bit. I'm also retired procrastinator terrible sickness. 🙌🏽

[@GrowWithWill]

Asking your audience questions is a good tip -- I do that in each of my videos as well to make it more of a conversation!

[@TiffanyAndrea]

Let me click on this real quick cuz this 9-5 job getting on my nerves 🙄🙄

Lol...🤣🤣🤣

[@BlossomAndHarvestwithTee]

My biggest hang up is posting consistently. I would love to hire a social media manager to build my brand awareness but I haven’t found the right person yet.

[@OlasticViews]

I love social media for businesses! But I do feel it sometimes can be a distraction not allowing one to focus on the reality of their venture & the real world impact it needs to be making! still watching 💃🏾 Currently learning the balance 🤗 & shared some of these on my channel as well ❤️

[@ELI5FI]

I like the analogy in your intro. That's so true...too many people come across too strong when they sell.

[@mrsparislady]

What trips me up is content creation and remaining consistent but it’s just something I gotta figure out because it MUST be done

[@KeishDenise]

Same here! Such a struggle but we will get there sis!

[@mrsparislady]

@@KeishDenise I have no other choice because failure is not an option

OMG! 2 of my favorite ppl currently! So proud of you 2. Can’t wait to be in the space to collaborate. I’m excited about this link up!!! 💖💖👑👑

[@thesandrapagethings]

I definitely get caught up on feeling like I have to have things all planned out and perfect before I start. 🙃 I know that’s not realistic & things will change and get better as I learn & grow, but that does tend to hold me back many times.

[@SociallyChrissyTV]

This was the best binge session today. I completely understand and relate to business and social not matching. Thank you for this video it was for sure needed.

[@EverythingLydia]

I ain’t even watch yet, but lemme just say your hair is layeddddd. 😍😍 Just draping. 💁🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@zeexiong9404]

Something I struggle with is being on camera and verbally expressing what I want to say in a complete thought out way/ Flow.

[@ravensanchez7533]

Yaaasss! Me too

[@lifewiththeodums]

This video was super helpful. I really love that you partnered with Olivia to showcase how to accomplish your goals off social media as well which continues to help me think outside the box. Thanks for this!

[@Cierac]

This was so good! I just started my business and KZbin page so I’m trying to figure out how to align everything now and what’s the best platform for my audience. I’m in the “experimental” stage so I’m excited to see where everything goes. This was super helpful girl ❤️❤️

[@downtownon7thavenue]

I’m so glad you said this. I fair better on Twitter and KZbin. I have an IG and I feel bad because I had a decent following on there but I don’t like being on it. Amazing video as always.

[@itzyahaira]

Woah . This was more helpful than I thought it was going to be. So right now I’m in the 3 month experimental phase on my KZbin channel 🥰 I’m going to explore this and then think about optimizing my hopefully mildly successful platform.

[@Teresaanns]

Great info! I just launched and being in front of the camera is definitely my weakness but I’m about to start little by little until comfortable. Thank you.

[@kimeehi3514]

Thank you for today’s content. After watching your video I realized I am not posting content consistent with my brand! I’ve done some research and digging and I have 4 new posts to do in the next couple of days that’s on brand. Thanks for the tips!

[@Aquablade22]

Hi Erin, I'm a big fan, subscriber and follower! Big thank you for all that you do! I was recently feeling bummed bc I looked at fellow peers doing something similar as to what I want to do with my business. They even had a similar freebie PDF file. I felt bad and lost and not know what to do. Then I watched your videos and felt a little better. What do you recommend when encountering or being frustrated with competition or someone selling / doing something similar to your own business? hugs and positive vibes from Miami.

[@Accra100]

This is a much needed video!!! Glad you're sharing these gems

[@Talking2DValerie]

This was a great help for me. Thank you so much. I started my YT channel and have struggled to make content and find just the right niche. As an introvert and a person with dyslexia it has been a struggle. I have not seen subscribe count move in months. But I will take all this information and work harder. Thank you again. P.S. loving the E-Brand club

[@pamelacarter6581]

With Covid19 - Yeah, It is the BEST TIME EVER, to start an on-line Business

[@tashalief9633]

I'm just wondering how I'm going to balance KZbin, Instagram, and all the tasks that are already involved in starting a small business. It seems like a lot of pieces to joggle at once when your one person, especially when the SEO for these platforms rewards consistency. How do you know what to priorities and when?

[@shivanar1257]

Hey Tasha, that’s where virtual assistants/social media managers come in. You can start by focusing on one platform first and then expand. However, if you want to dive into all at once you can hire a SMM. I myself am a social media manager. If you’re interested, we can work something out.
