I'm Erin and I'm a full-time entrepreneur. I have a digital marketing & video production company called Erin On Demand. I teach entrepreneurs how to stand out online through content marketing, digital strategy, and video production. I’ve worked with companies from National Geographic, to local mom & pop shops, helping them attract create compelling content that attracts their target audience. This channel, takes you through my journey of building my business from the ground up, while sharing information on how I market, strategize, and operate in my business… to hopefully help you build yours!

[@Shotbyguo]

A big mistake is to watch others and try to envision yourself in their place Everyone’s journey is unique and there are no cheat codes

[@shariefblagburn8300]

My biggest fear is feeling like I don’t know enough to put myself out there.

[@itsNazsare]

Sharief Blagburn mine too 😩

[@bradleybfinds]

Saaaame!

[@amberlibretto5399]

Same mine too

[@sashahemmingwayy]

Omg me too 💀

[@OlgaPogozheva]

That's everybody's fear. I own a software development agency, I write books and it might seem like I have smth to say, but I'm always having this fear of... like... uhm, okay, I cannot talk for hours about my business, it's boring to people, right? And I cannot repeat myself, right?.. But... a long road starts with a single step. Everything needs but a beginning. You've got a lifetime of experience behind your back, and there might be people looking for the advice you can provide. Think about WHO you can help, not WHAT you can talk about. Good luck! 👍

[@digitalmarketpreneur6712]

The #1 problem for any entrepenuer is FEAR of failure! Once you understand that you will have failures. Is the best thing you can do!

[@ErinOnDemand]

ABSOLUTELY! xo E

[@themomcave2642]

Thanks.that really helps

[@Onalenna_Thobega]

hahahah this came up a lot to me with everyone I was talking to, they said I should be okay with failure 😂😂😂

[@babeedoll64]

My biggest fear is only being a “great worker” for someone else the rest of my life

[@businesslp3027]

🤔

[@TynishaTalks]

SAME! That's why I'm here.

[@universesuperpuff2158]

and i am not even great on their scale:)

[@Youngatheartvlogs]

Serving first is always the best attitude to leading later 💛

[@natalyaroberts1998]

That's why I am so hesitant to find a job, because I really don't like having to prove myself to anyone and personally I'm more of a self led person, if in a group than I'm either the leader or we're all equal and no one is the head of the group.. but I won't be someone else's follower ever. Working on some small business ideas behind the scenes.

[@ginnywilliams8159]

I was so scared to start my cooking channel (worried i looked dumb on camera and people would make fun of me because its very niched down - vegan) but it has been one of the best decisions ever. At 570 subs I already landed a brand deal which is so shocking to me lol. The unknown is scary and fearful but also the possibilities are something I CRAVE. I love seeing what can happen and what doors open when you try something new. Its addicting. And once you get the ball rolling you feel on top of the world.

[@ErinOnDemand]

LOVE this!! Congrats on your brand deal Ginny! You got this girl. xo E

[@amongthewildspices]

Ginny Williams after a short glance at your channel I wanted to let you know I subscribed bc of seeing the playlist “dairy industry exposed” , it’s so awesome to see a like minded channel and person! What are the chances! Me and my channel are plant based so will def be watching your stuff!♥️💜 keep it up pretty lady!

[@arteisiacalvin6286]

I needed to hear this, im excited now

[@mcnaughty1000]

Aaww omg

[@mcnaughty1000]

Congratulations

[@jonipetty6081]

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you do, you will be successful.

[@jonipetty6081]

@Ana Yoana failure is when you never tried.

[@jonipetty6081]

I had interest to learn and trade the financial market because my job wasn't paying so well. My friends discouraged me. They told me that i would lose my money. What i did was to hire a regulated broker who handles all my trading activities while I pay 25% commission.

[@jonipetty6081]

Currently, I earn not less than 27, 0 0 0 every month. My friends who discouraged me already join the trade and they are all doing well. Don't let NOBODY tell you, you would fail. There's no harm in trial.

[@abdenourcharef1357]

@@jonipetty6081 who do you trade with.?

[@jonipetty6081]

@Mirela Rosa lol..that's what I earn only from trading. I have a full time job and from my savings from online trading, I bought a restaurant, a small restaurant though with some real estate properties. I just hope that motivates someone out there never to quit.

[@iamlollipoppin]

I’m so scared of the camera 😩😩😩 the internet is so mean

[@ErinOnDemand]

Girl there will always be trolls. You do have to build a thick layer of skin. It is not for the sensitive. xo E

[@RachelNicole]

Sis you gotta learn to laugh at them and keep in mind majority of the people on this platform are KIDS. Don’t let these little kids that never paid a bill in their life affect you 😂

[@MainCourseEncouragement]

We agree with the other comments! Your purpose and platform can be developed anywhere- video, writing, talent showcasing - just be your own biggest fan. Those who are mean may not have support or love themselves. Remember your voice and talents are the examples for the next person in your very shoes. 🙌🏾

[@itsNazsare]

I’ve been an entrepreneur for 5 years and this year I’ve been getting request to speak on panels and literally turned them down when I was first approached. I said no because I didn’t trust myself and didn’t believe people really wanted to hear what I had to say. I definitely thought about the worse case scenario. That helped me calm my nerves and realize I actually know what I’m talking about. Love this Erin!!

[@yunginrobinson2040]

my biggest fear is not taking the risk to start my business and caring what people think thanks for the video ima take your advice and try harder.

[@kenoshamontgomery1982]

My biggest fear is failing. That my idea is not good enough. That people will not be as passionate about it as I am. That I will get consumed and overlooked by others in the same niche as me... whew! That was a lot and very hard to say out loud.

[@daqueene181]

I appreciate you Erin! “In every failure is the equivalent seed of success” - Napoleon Hill

[@NokthulaMadondo]

Omg, "your life is bigger than any one experience " .. That part just slapped me across the face. I so needed this. I have my one foot in and the other out. That fear of failure is real dream stealer. This video is everything.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Absolutely!! So glad it helped you sis xo E

[@monicahudson9688]

Greetings! I bumped into your channel by way of virtual trunk tour.. I'm working on a project.. I'm impressed at how grounded you are.. that will take you far. The enemy does use FEAR to try to turn us around and the other weapon in his arsenal is DOUBT.. It has the power to get you tangled up, tied down and RUN. When I was participating in my first book fair it happened to me. First I was positioned in the wrong genre then it seemed like I wasn't getting anyone at my table... then God whispered to me.. I'm going to send you who I want you to meet and behold a woman came by, picked up my book, started reading it... She was from a bookclub. She purchased my book. God works in Great Wonders! That was 2008...I just published my 5th book last year and a completed the series, "Sleeper Awake! " Belief in God cancels out the enemies plot of Doubt. God always sends me who He wants me to meet and vice versa.. Believe All Things are Possible when you Believe! 🙏

[@MatildaZuria]

I literally closed my laptop and went back to bed. 2 minutes later I get this notification. Erin...you’re the best! ❤️

[@RoSeMo0rE]

My biggest fear is of course failing but failing and having people see it/judge it. There certain things I can fail at and be fine with cause it life but it’s the judgement from people that keeps me from wanting to do certain things

[@valenachristopher3596]

I’m a bundle of nerves from birth to present but this video makes me realize I have a place and a purpose

[@slowlivingjane]

Word!! To be honest I was always (and still am) such a private person so I am still shocked at these two steps I made. KZbin and starting my own business. I am still trying to figure out what snapped inside of me to step out of my comfort zone. I wouldn't say I am a fearful person but it just wasnt me...but here I am nevertheless. Thanks for the vid. It will help lots of folks.

[@Lorriluxxe]

You are so inspirational! I have watched all your videos! Having a young black female as a reference point like yourself has really motivated me to start my own channel! I hope I can be inspiring and influential as you at some (even though our content is slightly different) keep doing what you are doing! 💛

[@sekgaboseselamarumo7483]

I've been scared to start my own official business, but after watching this and getting inspiration I've had the courage to register a business name! You said start somewhere and here goes 😉 Thank you Erin. Love you from Botswana (Southern Africa)💓😍

[@live2thrivepilates]

Dumela Mma 🙃 I saw your name and was like she must be a Motswana! I grew up in Gaborone and Orapa. Now I’m Canada. Had to say hey 👋

[@ToriaTopics]

My biggest fear is simply failing. I see myself at a different level but I'm in uncharted territory. I'm 27 and I have recently completely changed my plan for myself and my life. I just know that I have more to offer the world. I spend soo much time thinking of great things but I struggle to follow through because of my fear of failing and not getting any support. I just started my KZbin channel and that in itself was a step. But even with every video I doubt myself. This was a very uplifting video. Thanx for all of the advice! I've learned soo much from your content throughout my journey to become an entrepreneur.

[@creatornmuse]

My biggest fear is my passion not being my paycheck. & by paycheck I simply mean the way of providing & fulfilling my wants and needs. So I sit on my gifts and overthink and say I'm not feeling inspired when really I just let fear derail me. This was my wakeup call. In 5,4,3,2,1, I Step Out of Fear & Into Faith.

[@Bribrisredcarpet]

I’m late but I was/am scared to go fully into designing clothes. I’ve been watching you and a couple of other bloggers on KZbin and today I finally applied for my llc 🥳

[@SharlenesJourney]

That’s amazing !! How’s your business going now?

[@StephanieShavone]

I’m scared that no one will buy my products.... but I’m starting to learn that if one person even if it’s my mama, buys a product then I’m happy. I’m tried of letting fear hold me back!

[@brittneybee6239]

My biggest fear is not knowing everything and not being one of the best in a new arena. My brain is always Trying to protect me and I’m always rationalizing why it’s a good idea not to follow my heart.

[@Pochiwanana]

I always fear that i may disappoint myself for doing things i haven't done before. But this turned it upside down. Thanks for the inspiring content 💛💯

[@jag5798]

My husband and adult daughter don’t see my idea as viable. This gives me drive. I don’t take it as a negative. I love a challenge.

[@edriguepetit]

My biggest fear is failure!!! Unfortunately, that has held me back on a lot of things in my life. I even missed out on a lot of opportunities.

[@jennyneutron6748]

I'm scared of looking stupid. I am taking my first class in Entrepreneurship and I will be creating my own business, but even in telling the class what my ideas are, I'm scared of looking stupid if I don't follow through, if it fails, and even just if the idea doesn't resonate with them.

[@fantaijia]

My biggest fear is actually becoming successful and my family starts treating me worse than they do now

[@chrisnaK]

Also, in regards to my 'big' fear.. I think I've let the prison of previous failures and disappointments hold me hostage for much longer than was necessary and I realised I could not afford to do this any longer. I stopped myself from trying/doing anything because I allowed yesterday to feature a bit too prominently in today. I am not nearly where I want to be, but I know if I can't be faithful to myself I cannot hope to be anything else to anyone else. So I got to do this.✊

[@Mariqt95]

I have the fear of judgement. The fear of people thinking that I don't fit a certain aesthetic, which would make me look stupid. I have have several businesses that i do well in but not consistently because i am always in my own head about the content. Your videos have helped me sooooo much. Thank you once again!

[@sassyphriends4237]

I wish there was more people out there thinking like you Erin thank you for this video! God bless you always. 😘💕🙏🏻

[@ErinOnDemand]

Aww thanks hun! xo E

[@brianahayes7049]

My Biggest fear is not a trying...i have been contemplating on putting myself out there. I want to help people like me. Erin you are the Bomb yo 🤗

[@kharimatoluwasheun9552]

the quote about failure sounded like you were talking directly to me, i failed when i studied biomedical technology and that failure redirected me to change my discipline and go into nursing and now i am doing so wonderfully well!

[@thelondonlocker]

My biggest fear is putting myself out there and getting no feedback. I want to make videos to help and encourage other young moms such as myself as well as anyone else who may be inspired by my journey. KZbin and the internet in general has so many people discussing the same topics in their own way, and I am afraid I don’t have ‘IT’ to make people want to like and subscribe to my channel when I start. This video has allowed me to take a better look at myself and identify what’s delaying my start to something new. I will start implementing that five second rule, because my fear and my nerves... they are definitely holding me back. I even got the ‘bubble guts’ typing this comment 😂 I have been binge watching your videos since I found you, and like many others, I am grateful for you and all of the information you provide. Black and goal’d 🤞🏾 oh, and new subscriber 👋🏾

[@rikiesomtin]

My biggest fear is starting a business that I have passion for but people are so much into it that got me thinking “if I will make it” I feel really scared😫

[@slut.qween3000]

My biggest fear is not being in the right area for my business that I won't be taken serious or that I dont have the right supplies but with all that said I'm still gonna push forward I will be self employed in 2022 thank you universe

[@TaraWagner]

That first step in starting a business is so scary!! Kudos to those that are starting and pushing forward. Lean into that fear, breathe and step into action.

[@businesslp3027]

Sometimes ain’t no Plan B. I’m from Detroit I live out-of-state. Support can enable you or inhibit your growth. Living out-of-State I had to learn that nobody cares. I’m glad I was able to see people true colors

[@SabrinaLink8888]

Starting a business is not the hard part. The hard part is gaining support. I suffer from a mental illness. Schizophrenia and depression. Starting a business have been a strong desire for me. I'm an introvert and sometimes I don't know what I need to do to improve my products. I could come up with a name for my business and make labels for my products but my products just sit here because I have no support and don't know how to fully put myself out there. I wish that I had a little guidance and people in my corner and it's very frustrating. I continue to pray because I'm also in my wilderness and isolation.

[@feaudriajones8747]

OMG you were spot on. I just started my new business about 2 months ago & I cried for 4 or 5 days. I was so afraid to put my product out there & I felt like when I tried to explain the was that I was feeling to my husband he just didn't understand so there for I didn't feel supported. I wish u would've found your vices a lot sooner. Thank you.

[@vwm1001]

Thank you so much! I'm launching my business on May 1, 2021, and believing God to be in business as an entrepreneur over the next 2 years thus retiring from my current place of employment. Your testimony is inspiring and motivating. May God always bless you. ~ Virginia

[@BrunaCarvalho-hi4ie]

I have a constant "impostor syndrome" about my business ideas :( I keep thinking I might not be good enough to pursue them. My friends and family are constantly saying: Are you sure you know what you are doing? You've never had any experience doing that. So I always give up on it :(

[@businesslp3027]

Never feel like you don’t know enough. A lot of people walk on eggshells scared to do something because they are unaccomplished, not wealthy, or whatever reason. I don’t have that problem. I don’t care about looking crazy, sounding crazy, or not doing everything right when starting out. Some people I went to law school with scared to start their own law firm because they are scared they can’t run a law firm and don’t want to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. You will make mistakes. Humans make mistakes. If you not making mistakes- check your pulse. All that matters is you learn from mistakes and have a willingness to fill in the gaps in your knowledge. You’ll never be 100% ready for anything. After studying for hours, I never felt fully prepared for many exams in law school. Sometimes you gotta go fully prepared or not. I think one of my biggest fears is set backs. I’ve had so many setbacks when I made an attempt. So I feel like tryin again it’ll be another setback. However, I’m learning to continue to grind during hard times because there will always be something! If you stop, you’ll never get there. Push through the pain.

[@TheLisaTorres]

So many people need to hear this. Overthinking is so real. Awesome job sharing how to overcome this fear, Just focus on "the next thing" and move forward.

[@mocoda]

Awesome thanks nice informative video, my biggest fear is not having a partner in life. A partner to build something great as one kinda like in a form of family. A female that we can support each other dreams and motivation. I strongly believe if a person is an entrepreneur their better half must hold the same beliefs. Having balance at home is very important when maintaining business and responsibilities. Erin I wish you the best your time is well appreciated.

[@AndreaDenise]

Girl this is such an amazing video!! I definitely needed this as I’m getting ready to launch my new author mentorship program that teaches people how to write and publish their stories of impact! Thanks for this girl!!! It really helped!

[@Nurseaholic]

Andrea Denise what’s the name of your business, I’d be interested.

[@peachez9680]

What is the name of your company? I would interested. Can you drop the info?

I just subscribed to you. I'm trying to write a book so this came right on time.

[@jhaneilmcdonald5151]

I love love when Beth and Randall would do "worst case scenario" before doing something. I find so much value in that series, as much as I do your channel! Thank you ❤

[@makeupbyife]

I feel this everyday, not be supported by those who follow you is hard. But I would push through and make it happen.

[@deevanderburg4630]

Godly proud of you Cuz! Thank you for being a blessing to so many. May God continue to enlarge your territory and give you the desires of your heart. Much love!♥️♥️

[@ErinOnDemand]

Thank you so so much!!! xo E

[@dreamsofkiera7155]

Realistically speaking we all have fears in entrepreneurship. But since I’m in the process of manifesting I’d like to claim that “I have no fear!” :) I have no fear! I will keep going no matter what. I will be successful and I will make a difference! Amen ❤️

[@ErinOnDemand]

Yes! Whatever method helps you is what you have to do! xo E

[@MainCourseEncouragement]

❤️ Amen sis, we agree with speaking it and seeing it through. Manifest + action! - Shanetta

[@TwinsationalRS]

You’re talking to us! Pure fear!! Getting ready to do it though!!!! Comforting to know we’re not alone

[@Tarron_Innovative_World]

My biggest fear is the fear of failure. And I sometimes feel weak within...

[@ArianeSartor]

Your business will never be what you imagined it to be at the start :) When something isn't working it just means that you have to do it otherwise (it's like perfecting a cake recipe!). I am sure you have figured out pretty important things in your life so far, and even if we don't know each other I would be ready to bet that you can do it again :) I don't know where you are at in your life at the moment but, before leaving my job I was depressed and was suffering from chronique fatigue syndrom and as soon as I started working on my business, my life changed and I never suffer from lack of energy anymore, because I am doing what feels right :) I wish you the best!

[@TripleThreatMomOf4]

My business is just getting off the ground with an LLC and my biggest fear is is just putting myself out there and being pregnant right now. But I've gotten this far 20 weeks now but trying to talk to people about my community and bettering it and have people listen to me I feel is a even bigger fear in itself.

[@bigupyuself]

My fear is I just started a you tube channel and I fear people won't find me interesting enough to subscribe Aldo like and comment. But I'm doing it any way. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@houseofdalilah2654]

My biggest fear is my brand failing, and sacrificing so much for it to fail! But I have to take the leap!

[@krystleroyse103]

Great video Erin! Fear is real! I just started my channel sharing my story and I dealt with tremendous amounts of fear launching! But I pulled through and so far it’s been worth it! Leaning into those butterfly guts, that fear that’s screaming at you to stop is SOOO hard but you’re right, those feelings are exactly sign you should be doing it! 💜😊 is so rewarding to do it any, regardless of fear!

[@tyrathethird]

I'm binging all of your videos and you are so anointed. I'm so glad I found you on YT. You are helping me more than you'll ever know!

[@ISwearByDee]

Love how Positive your Channel is, it’s so easy to slip into a state of fear and negativity when it comes to starting something new. There Needs to be more channels out there like yours !

[@ccrijos466]

Im super obsessed with your words of encouragement!!!! I keep running across vidoes related to exactly what Im through in my start up process! Its like that extra push I need from time to time to keep goin!!!!! Thank you for all of your amazing advice!

[@SunshineMalaya]

Felt this in my core and thankful you were there with these words when I needed it today. Quality message, thank you girl! 🤧

[@lifeassarahsdaughter1763]

My biggest fear is not being able to have the time provide all the hand made things that I'm selling. And not getting the customers to buy what I'm selling.

[@antaniamarie5011]

Thank you, Erin! I am so glad that I ran into your video. I am nervous, scared... all that. I think being on social media for me is intimidating especially when you have good ideas that you want to share but you’re not sure if people are going to react well to them. Like you know they’re good ideas but you’re still learning and growing and what if people are impatient and they don’t want to see someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. I’m at that point right now. So I did start just doing it. I started that and I’m still nervous but one thing I am learning to do is when I don’t know something or understand, I research it. I think that’s what’s holding me back but... I will definitely take note of everything you said and push through ❤️

[@cbethea456]

You have been such a comfort to me as I start out on my own business ventures. I love watching your videos because your kind spirit makes me so happy!

[@DrSiobhanFrance]

I didn’t realize how much stuff I had to unlearn. Thanks for sharing this. ❤️

[@amberlibretto5399]

Fear is putting myself out there

[@ErinOnDemand]

Once you do it... you'll be like "wow, that wasn't THAT bad" xo E

[@kimberly107]

Ok sooooot I loveeeee about your videos is how calm you are and I need that so bad. So many videos with people yelling about how they get up at 3, reading and turning on the treadmill for two hours straight and I'm like I'm not doing none of that! Again you do a phenomenal job!

[@sheenaowens175]

I needed this... I can’t say all my ‘fear’ washes away after one video but this moved me leaps. I know I see my goal... I know the idea of it makes me smile... thank you for your down to earth encouragement. Much love, here’s to many blessings.

[@pattiepepper6217]

Erin, thank you so much for these videos and your support! My family doesn't support me so, it's nice to have you in my corner. You are helping and changing so many lives! ❤️

I just started this month and I can safely say that It's hard! This is so true. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@LuisaDejean]

Thank you so much !!! God bless you and your family (your mom is adorable!). This video was so helpful and much needed.

[@EmmanuelaOkon]

my biggest fear is hiring/delegating tasks in the long-run (i've been in business for 1 year) but i believe its time to outsource tasks so i can focus on running things outside the business and not inside the business 🙏🏽

[@rosawhite8138]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I've been wanting to start my own business for some time now. Yes fear played a huge part in my putting it off.This is the second one of your tapes I've watched and I've definitely gained much more confidence then before. I will be acting on my dream full speed ahead. After watching your channels I know exactly what I need to do step by step. Peace and Blessings, stay safe.

[@jjack323]

Wow this was perfect timing for this message! My biggest fear is launching my rebranding/ focus to a topic that can be generalized and feel like your info is outdated. Also, fear of pushing my content out there and not living up to my expectations. Thank you for this! Taking action today. No excuses.

[@nitahudson343]

This was a great pep talk. Loved the ramble! You talk straight from the heart and it shows.

[@rosetish2313]

I'm so glad I'm came across this video, this is exactly what I been going through

Needed to hear this! Thank you Erin! 🌞

[@TynishaTalks]

This video came right on time! I too am in a space where I know I'm not happy in my current field, however I've been afraid to make that leap. I have a journal full of business ideas and I'm dying to start at least one. Thank you for the encouragement x3

[@sierralafaye]

Wow this came at the perfect time for me...you da real mvp! 🏆

[@darielleneanne]

Hi Erin, I'm new to this and LOVE that you are offering support to us who are pushing past fear. Sometimes I fear the time and energy it will take to be successful at something new and often linger in between action and rest without choosing either. I'll be doing the daily top 3! Thanks again and love your videos. -Darielle Neanne

[@KevelynNeugent]

I am so happy to have discovered your channel today. This video is what I needed! I love it. You are doing a great job and I so appreciate the work you are doing here. Thank you.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this video 🙏✨thank you so much! Loved how soothing your voice is in this one

[@INTERESTEDINFORMEDINSPIRED]

Love this! Until recently, failure wasn’t talked about a lot on this platform. There is no growth without failure. Also FEAR is just False Evidence Appearing Real (got this from another KZbinr, Breeny Lee) Thank you for this, Erin. Love me some Oprah too!!

This video speaks VOLUMES! You are so motivating and inspirational and real. My biggest fear in getting started on my own brand/business is : Starting strong, then hitting some kind of plateau or not being able to progress to my full potential. I know that we are responsible for how we choose to move throughout our lives and these journeys we embark on. I know the importance of having that undeniable confidence in yourself and your work, it’s just sometimes my anxiety gets the best of me, which then makes the whole overthinking cycle even stronger. It’s an uphill climb for sure, but this video made me feel so sure about what it is that I am trying to accomplish. Thanks Erin 💕!

biggest fear is beginning AGAIN. And the inability to recognize when I'm burning out. These rules helped me make sense of how to move forward! I have hope and action steps now. Thank you Erin.

Hi Erin love your content im a marketing student and love how you teach people about enterpreneurship in an easy going and simple mode and i would love that you do longer form content maybe even a podcast (please do a podcast) for people like me that prefer longer form content that we can hear trough the day

Hey! I needed this! My biggest fear is failing, and just doing something different that’s not apart of my regular life. Starting a business is a change, I’m afraid of change, I don’t like it but I want to start a business. You have some great techniques that I’ve used to help me get through for years! Thank you!

I have been working on my Business and my Personal brand and I can admit that the fear of failing is my biggest fear. This video like all the others I watched was very helpful.

My biggest fear is content creation. The work that goes into it and then after created, not knowing everything and missing out on information.
