How I Started My Clothing Business at 20 | Marketing Strategies, Investments, + More!!!

[@NataliaTrevinoAmaro]

Hi!!!! I uploaded an "updated" version of this video with some new things I've learned a year later if you want to check it out :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4a3mHyghZV5fqs

[@cuteris3798]

Hi Ma'am I'm Irshad from India I want to join as you I have done fashion designing course I have 4year exprince I have good knowledge about pattern making, stitching, Designing, related all activities Also in digital marketing website handling etc. I am interested to join if possible

[@yaminanatsaret]

Ugh YES! to when you broke down how to price things. It makes since how these high and luxury brands are so high. (Quality material and labor of 50+ people). People don’t realize how many people are putting in labor for these fashion companies. At least those who are paying everyone fairly. At first I thought of pricing things based on how much I would pay for something but it’s not always that easy. You explained so well.

[@onika2836]

It is not a norm in luxury brands (like chanel , Louis vuitton,..) when artisans and "dress maker"(i don't know if it is the right term) are paid a little more than the minimum wage even if they have a real savoir faire. I just created a sustainable french fashion brand called Maya Litzia if there's someone interesting. For the moment it is just me but I hope it will develop well.

[@roseekske]

@@onika2836 I hope your business takes off!!

[@ΠολύχρωμηΑλεπού-δ4ι]

Most of those brands make you pay for their name not so much the quality or the cost , many also will hide their unethical ways for instance Prada used illegal immigrants in Italian factories in order to not have to pay them properly.

[@Gigi.973]

I really thought you take the base price and multiply it by 1.5 and then THATS your final price.

[@smithlea]

Natalia, I'm in awe of your dedication to ethical fashion! I recently started my own creative project, and the way you emphasized social media for marketing resonated with me. I found boost app social, and it's like 8 apps in 1 for platforms like insta and tiktok. Super helpful for creators like us to stand out!

[@kimberlimartins]

I've been using that too, and it's great for personalizing my stories. Makes everything look more professional.

[@shmwmlam3953]

You are really inspiring. You are almost half of my age. I always wanted to started my own business. But fear gets me. I am really shy and awkward. So social media is my worst enemy. I am really weak in that area. But watching you made me wanna start my business. I do have all the professional qualifications and technical skills. I think its time to finally throw my fear away

Keep in mind that, like most small businesses, you are not likely to get rich from running a vending machine business. But being your own boss and calling the shots are rewarding in themselves. And if you get enough locations going, vending machines can generate a steady income for you.

[@ecbelle]

I loved the video! I also have a small ethical clothing business but I never went to fashion school or anything, so it's pretty scary for me. I just love fashion. I wanted to point out that Limiting Beliefs is a psychological term: Limiting beliefs are thoughts, opinions that one believes to be the absolute truth. They tend to have a negative impact on one's life by stopping them from moving forward and growing on a personal and professional level. Like, "I can't do this because I didn't study fashion," would be a limiting belief of mine.

Hi Natalie, its so refreshing to see a young grad like yourself believe in sustainability. My niece is studying her MBA in this subject. I believed in being kind to our environment.

I also wanna add a lil tip for any one : I HIGHLY recommend using legal zoom to handle the legal parts of getting set up and paying for their tax plan - it comes with unlimited tax advisor calls, and QuickBooks, and you have a professional filing your quarterly taxes. It’s great for egg heads like me who are good at GAME design. And only that lol. I enjoy the peace of mind of not worrying about doing my taxes wrong.

Your content is extraordinary and very encouraging. You really deserve lots of success!! You just got me confused with the 150% profit. I think that's unrealistic. I think you wanted to say 1/4. Because that's usually the profit margin. Also your profit would be your labor cost, because you are producing yourself, so it is already included. What you probably missed are other costs like marketing and advertising.
