What makes you different is you break things down in an easy to understand, practical way. You don't add fluff, you tell it like it is, even if it's not pretty. You explain the steps needed and let people know it actually takes work to be successful. I appreciate honesty.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Aw, thanks so much for the kind words, Beth!

[@agilbo100]

You keep your videos precise and simple. Also, you don' t spew all sorts of "industry" jargon. You never seem to be talking down to us, just sharing the things you've learned on your journey. And I thank you for it!

Thank you for your kind words, agilbo100! And thank you for watching!

[@LoremIpsumPeach]

I like your videos bc you don’t come off gimmicky. Your vids don’t just look pretty with a lot of fluff content (very common these days). I actually learn a lot from every vid. So much click bait out there now. And you seem honest, knowledgeable but also humble :)

[@karolinazeringyte9188]

Hey. I started watching your videos after seeing a sponsored FB ad because it was spot on. I never tried looking for business advice, I only got targeted by FB, watched a 50min video with you, and loved your style. You are clear, you do not sound vague, you give actual advice, you seem to be creative and very business-minded. I take notes and I feel that I am learning something new as I have little experience selling what I create and design by myself. Also, obviously, you are very specific - Handmade Business - this is what I want to hear. And I love that you ask to like and subscribe in the middle of your video - this just proves that you have a great mind for this.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Thank you so much for watching, Karolina! I really appreciate your kind comments.

[@elisabethbell630]

Hi Mei! I found you through a KZbin ad! (Yes, yours worked! 😄🙌) In this particular ad, you talked about how to grow your business through your handmade products. Because I have a similar style business, I clicked on it, and watched your vid (instead of the vid I was originally going to view 🤣). This was like 3 weeks or so ago. Ever since, I have been hooked on watching your KZbin vids, almost on a daily basis. You are a WEALTH of genius information, and wisdom when it comes to business and marketing. I have seen many other "business gurus" on KZbin, and I like what they have to say. However, most of their content is based on business in a general sense, and not all of their information is directly relevant to the creative industry. Which is why your content is so valuable for me personally. Plus, you explain things clearly, and simply, and offer simple step by step info that are easy to follow, all of which are up to date, and current with the goings on in the world which also directly impact businesses today. Again, a huge bonus. You get the creative industry, which helps me to feel that you get me, and my needs as a business owner. Which is huge! 🙏🙏 Thank you for ALL that you do, Mei. Thank you for making the decision to open up your businesses, go through your ups and your downs, and to then share them with us by opening up this channel, and provide us with SO much valuable information and knowledge related to business in the creative industry. You are already a blessing in my life. Thank you, thank you. 🙏💝

[@Wellspring.speaking]

You deliver information without repeating yourself and have concrete examples of what you're talking about. There is no pyramid scheme feel here. You're not focusing on telling people they can be successful as what you're doing specifically but what techniques transcend all disciplines. You're also just super likeable.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Julia! I appreciate it so much. I really do want to help creative businesses by sharing my experiences. 💖

I watch your videos precisely for the same reasons you mentioned. You have a great skill of explaining & teaching: I have dyscalculia and still I understood everything you said in your pricing videos. Mindblowing!!! No-one else has been able to make me understand math. Ever. Plus you have a lovely big sister -energy in you.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Awww, that is awesome! Thank you! I love that you were able to understand the pricing with these!

I like that your videos start immediately. You do not delay your videos with trying to promote yourself or another product. You give step by step in depth explanations. Also, you speak clearly and at a pace that's easy to follow along.

I really appreciate that! More than anything I want this information to be accessible. Thank you so much for watching!

[@charliedarwintextiles]

Hi Mei! Love this video A LOT. I love watching your videos for so many reasons; 1 is that you have so many of them, so I feel like I can go to your channel and find almost anything I'm looking for. #2 is that I actually feel like you understand what I'm going through, and you strike a really good balance between optimism and reality.... you dont necessarily boast that building a handmade business can get you six figures in 3 months (like some people try to do), but you make your content really achievable which keeps me going! Thanks for it all :)

Watch your videos Mei is exactly because you are direct, honest, draw from direct experience and break things down into logical and manageable steps. In short, you make me feel that I CAN have a handmade craft business!! Thank you for what you do!

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Thank you so much! You DEFINITELY can have your own business! I also have more information on my website and blog at creativehiveco.com, if that helps!

[@HarmonyGoddessAstrology]

What makes you different is that you are very consistent in talking about creating systems and evaluating results to learn as you go. You are also so much more honest, you are not always talking about making 100K in your business, and about setting realistic expectations.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Thank you, Beth! I really want to help creative businesses be their best and I really hope it comes through!

[@Supertasticgreatness]

I watch your videos because you present yourself as committed to your audience's success. You are consistent at producing videos, and never waste time with a lot of fluffy cheerleading, but get straight to the point with helping to steer us toward success with very practical advice.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Supertasticgreatness! (Honestly LOVE that username!)

[@MeyTribe]

To answer your question - I listen (and Kinda binge...) cause I love your tonation. I don't make products by hand, and more and more I'm leaning into being an affiliate rather than a seller. But listening to you talk about how to make products sell better- helps me select items to write about. I also do Etsy shop critique and re-dos, so any info on the ecommerce world is important to me. Also, in general, I like knowing stuff... Like that whole-buyers expect a 50% discount. I won't do anything with that info myself, but I like to learn while working. If i'm working on designing something or writing (as long as I'm not coding) I like to have people around me, and as there are no coworking spaces now around me- You're my coworking space :) Plus, I really want to start my own channel, mostly talking about being an affiliate, blogging, and selling on Fiverr, - and hearing you say you're insecure- helps.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

I really appreciate you watching while you're working! Happy to be your co-worker from a distance.

[@MsLovelySabrina]

I binge watch your video as background “music” for when completing work task and you always inspire me in some way or another that helps me grow my business

[@mabelcardona2874]

Why did I subscribe? I consider myself to be very selective of who I listen to, I love your tone of voice is very pleasant. Your knowledge but not pretentious. Professional, the topics are relevant and well organized. Straight to the point. I love the sounds effects make your videos fun, without having you to deviate from the topic to make a silly or irrelevant comment.

Your videos speak about small business newbie questions,concerns or sometimes topics we never even thought about. You keep them lively, positive yet truthful, clean and I love the colorfulness of your background and theme. I also, like short to the point videos.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Hi Gladys! I am so happy you enjoy these videos. Thank you for watching.

[@Kennice-m6o]

I rarely subscribe to any channel, no matter how much I like their contents. I'm glad to say yours is one of the few that I've subscribed! You create great and relevant contents that I've been searching for regarding handmade business. Your contents are really informative and in depth. Unlike majority of the videos out there that just merely talk about hashtags which I already know how it works, or they just touch and go (not to mention they are lengthy too). Your videos are definitely not short neither, but the info given are so helpful and applicable that I stayed on watching without any complaints. You talked about shipping, packaging, photography, things that worked for you (monthly subscription, ladder discounts) that many others dont! I really appreciate your amazing effort for making all these videos to help everyone in this community 😄

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Thank you so much, K! I really appreciate that so much, and that makes me so happy that you subscribed and that you've found these videos so helpful.

[@About_Argo]

I watch your videos because I watch the same type of videos from other types of businesses. You can get different perspectives and tips and tricks that can be used for your own even if the subject doesn’t match. Your videos also get straight to the point and are easy to understand. And aestically your videos are better than others. There’s enough lighting, sound is good, etc.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

I really appreciate your kind words and feedback, Marla!

[@verityxenia7840]

I first started watching your videos because the preview and initial impression was polished but still very much of a crafter/ small business owner first and foremost, rather than a coach or marketing expert. Your videos are also very informative on their own without *having* to sign up for coaching or emails and your engagement makes it feel very personal and helpful, which ended up getting me to the point where I am considering signing up for your paid course. What kept me here to keep watching videos are the easy step by step instructions (almost feels like cheating lol) and that you present them in a way that motivates me to keep going with my business idea, very positive even when talking about difficult topics and being realistic.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

That makes me so happy to hear. I really want to be here for anyone who is looking for help, and if they wish to go more in-depth then they can. I'm really happy you are here and you've found the videos helpful. 💖

[@bitsieappleton7481]

I love how simply you lay out all the info you have to share. I always put your videos on in the background while I work my 9-5 and write notes down to use for after hours when I finally have time to work on my business. Your information always makes so much sense and is so easy to follow it's been so encouraging to feel like a know what I should be doing!

[@CreativeHiveCo]

That is awesome, Bitsie! I love how you can integrate your own business learning into your regular job.

[@katherinemudd5274]

I have enjoyed watching your videos for several different reasons. #1. You are actually giving your viewers information that was well thought of and put together. #2. Your character stands out from others in your videos as you describe to your viewers about your experiences. #3. You are educated on the topic of selling handmade products. You give your audience advice that no one else seems to want to share. #4 this is my favorite, You are not trying to sell me (the viewer) something!! In my opinion, that makes me want to hire you as a coach more. The authenticity in your approach to reach your audience is far and beyond incredible. Once I have my business up and running with my blog, I am without a doubt going to praise you, your channel, your brand, and your super adorable and very unique jewelry! I have big, big dreams and it is because of you that I now have the courage and confidence in my products to sell them at the price they deserve to be sold for. You have opened up my mind about so many things. I truly am very grateful for your insights about managing and operating a handmade business.

Mei, to answer your question, I signed up for your A Sale a Day Business courses last week because when I saw your pitch video I knew you knew what you were talking about. I've had two small home based businesses where I sold primarily in fairs, markets and shows. Your pitch was on point. It gave me enough information to want to know more. I didn't think there was that much more but there is.... Goes to know how much I need to learn about selling on the web. Secondly, I watch your KZbin videos because they give me quick insights that I can start working on over and above the training I paid for. Your instructions and examples are clear and get the point across. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I watch your videos because (after two decades in the craft biz) so many of your observations mirror my own experiences.....i.e......the black holes of craft shows and custom work. UGH! That renders you credible. Secondly, where I have been solely dependent on the quality and extreme uniqueness of my work, you have forged into marketing venues I was too lazy to find, but now, with my primary wholesale buyers (galleries) shuttered, your help to develop alternate retail customers is priceless.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

[@derac]

Dear Lady, Your information has been VERY helpful.... but since I first thanked you for your insight, our orders from Etsy alone, have EXPLODED! As a consequence, we have hesitated to implement your other suggestions, because, so far, we are hard pressed to keep up with the current avalanche of Etsy orders. But you are the real deal, circumstances are constantly changing, and I cherish the alternative options you freely offered. Thank you for your good work!@@CreativeHiveCo

I only found you a few days ago but I happened to pick one of your videos from a KZbin search on how to start an Etsy account. I've been researching and trying to learn how to effectively run a craft business so that I can start my own. I found your video on why Etsy isn't the best basically unless you're starting out and after that video I started binge-watching through your channel. I agree you're very clear and understandable when explaining things in your videos. You also have visually appealing videos that aren't distracting or boring to me and your voice is easy to listen too. Unfortunately some people just have a certain tone or something about their voice that it makes them hard to pay attention too. I can concentrate on what you're saying and the points you're trying to make. It's very assuring and makes me think I can trust what you're saying. I don't want to invest my time and energy into something that I feel unsure about only to have it blow up in my face. Watching your videos I feel I'm learning from an honest and tried and true person instead of feeling like I'm being duped just so you can get views/attention to your channel. I like you have so much information for beginners like myself and I hope to see much more even if it seems too simple/logical and seems like something we should already know. Thank you so much for helping noob people like myself, I personally really appreciate it!

[@CreativeHiveCo]

I'm really glad to know that you're finding my videos helpful! Your comments are so kind - I really appreciate it.

What made me watch your video is I looked up Insta growing tips and a bunch of options popped up.

I am a crocheter, I make beanies, ear warmers, etc...but mostly Amigurumi animals. It’s my passion. I started selling. Then and found I could do well. Now, I am trying to find ways to grow, esp online. There aren’t enough craft markets to do as well as I could. I’m a little terrified of shipping, taxes, etc. I want to move past that and find my target audience bc I really have quality products I know they’d love. Lol I hope that answered your question.

10:23- to answer your question its easy. because you write in your description or the thumbnail what people want to know unlike others and I am very grateful that you make these videos I have learned a lot from you. also your title is catching and makes people go to your video and listen to what you have to say to get as much resource as possible. as my dad says " people are resources" and no I understand what he means by that!! :)

Thanks for this video Mei (: I just started selling my crafts and trying to figure out the best way to do it. I like how professional your marketing is as it shows lots of effort but also like you kept your style, which seems to be quite colourful and childish - you are original and explain things very well.

[@CreativeHiveCo]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Rosita! They mean so much.

[@janececallaway6535]

Hi Mei, Your videos are fabulous because they are not full of business and marketing jargon. Once I hear too many acronyms the content is lost on me and I turn off. I feel you communicate very well and this helps those of us who are still trying to grow our businesses. The content is relevant and you also pace the information well and keep your audiences attention. Thanks so much

Hi Janece, thank you so much for your kind words! I have a video that deals with target audiences that you might find helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4Smqp2Lht9pbK8

I love your videos because the content is so concise and to the point and relevant. It is all such good and useful information and I’m learning so much. If I could add a bit constructive criticism, I personally find the sound effects in your videos a bit distracting and unnecessary. I know it’s to go along with the fun vibe but just wanted to throw that out there. Otherwise, awesome videos - thank you for sharing these tips! 😊

[@CreativeHiveCo]

I choose to listen to you because I know that you really have a handmade business instead of the others that I have to believed juste because they tell me that they know ...

Hi Mei. Do u have a video on Handling customer complaints on Handmade products. Like something went wrong in production and hook came off or button peeled off like those types.

[@shalenawhitestudios]

You asked what attracts your content vs. other people's content. You have been there, done that. You have an incredible amount of social proof. You are very accessible (like for example you commented on a youtube comment i made before I bought your course which showed me you care and you're a real person. You're generous as well as relevant with your information in regards to handmade businesses. I enrolled in the Sale a Day Program www.creativehiveco.com/a-sale-a-day-business-closed/ and I am on module 1, and after the first zoom call with you and your team, I see your course as being as valuable as what I would hope to get out of an MBA. Although I have a BFA and MFA, believe it or not art school didn't teach me anything about business.

You don't give these frou frou ideas, like knowing your customer's name and how she takes her coffee. You also are identifying my struggles and observations with accuracy- social media is a waste of my time, pi terest is not where people go to shop - so its confirmation that I'm on the right track but just need the right direction. Your ideas make sense, and you've been there. It helps that our products are kind of similar, bright colors, cutsy, etc.
