TAKING MY SMALL BUSINESS SERIOUSLY | FIRST SMALL BIZ VLOG OF 2025 🤍

[@aliyacreated]

Happy New Year 🤍 Do you have any exciting goals or plans for 2025? I’d love to know! ⭐️

[@luvaaliyah]

Happy new year! I made a bingo card vision board & exited to start checking those spots off

[@TheJesusgirl42]

I pray many blessings upon your business

[@RakeithWoodson]

Yes I do. I have a blog as well starting my own business, and I just watched to finish finding a way on my feet and taking care of my kids.

[@InHomeHappy]

Can't imagine smelling candles all day but would love the hobby

[@keepingupwithk0]

New subscriber 🥰 Looking to start a candle business soon so I’ll be watching ❤

[@abigail_in_the_day]

Happy New Year to you love. Wishing you all this year all the way from the Commonwealth of Dominica. I'm very happy to see a young female of colour in the aroma therapy field.

[@aliyacreated]

Thank you so much, that means a lot to me! 💕

[@pattyheinemann4129]

One thing I’ve learned for the melt pool on your first burn. It does not need to go to a full melt pool anymore. It should leave at least a quarter of an inch all the way around after your first four hour burn and as you still keep melting it down it will go to a full melt pool

[@aliyacreated]

Omg thank you for this because I thought I was going crazy haha!

[@pattyheinemann4129]

@ no worries we small business owners have to look out for each other, cause I thought the same thing too until I started watching Black tie barn, there’s a whole bunch of people who’s been doing it for a very long time and I’ve learned quite a bit just by watching these KZbin videos. I love your videos because I feel like I’m in the same place where you’re at right now as far as moving my business forward.

[@kristinferguson9228]

Hey girl!! If you still have the oils I’m interested in it! I’m on the same journey too! I’m definitely going to take it more seriously this year! I feel as if this year is going to be the best for everyone! 🎉 Going to work towards that 🥳

[@xyngchic]

Very wise to use different melters. I have 3 Vevor melters because I use 3 different types of wax. I also do “wickless testing “ …saves so much money and time.

[@aliyacreated]

It’s genius! When I was first starting out, I used to waste so many supplies by securing the wicks to the bottom of the jar. Definitely a lesson learned.

[@karenbautistaa]

Just found your channel & immediately subscribed cause I’m on the same journey of hoping to turn my small business into my full time business to replace my 9-5 🥹 rooting for you! 💕

[@sammsouri]

Ah community!? I just ran to comment this same thing! I def will be following along on your journey!

[@karenbautistaa]

[@aliyacreated]

[@yen-8680]

All the best for your small business! ❤ looking forward to see your journey this year

[@aliyacreated]

Thank you so much! I’m excited to share it with you! 😊

[@latricejohnson3210]

I made wax melts with my 1oz FOs that I wasn't using and held a sale. 💜💜

[@aliyacreated]

That's a really good idea!

[@tiffanystrattan]

Happy New Year ❤ I love your channel and I’m obsessed with your pancake trinket boxes. Keep them coming girl. Your small business is going to grow and grow girl. I believe in you. For your business colors I see pink and sky blue or pink and light yellow.

[@aliyacreated]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you love the pancake boxes! I'm definitely keeping them coming and I appreciate your support! 😊

[@xyngchic]

[@luvaaliyah]

Just found your channel & I’m subscribing. For one we have the same name, then I was like omg she’s a sister, then I was like dang she’s gorgeous, then when I kept watching I was like dang this is quality content! ʕ༼◕ ౪ ◕✿༽ʔ

They’re such pretty jars!

[@YHWHEHSkin]

New subscriber hereee

[@aliyacreated]

Welcome, so glad you're here! 😊

[@sdfghjk123-g7c]

Did you put a business address for your Etsy shop?

[@aliyacreated]

I opened up a P.O. Box and that address is what I use to ship orders out!

[@sdfghjk123-g7c]

@ thank you so much! So I’m assuming that it does ask you for a business address?

[@aliyacreated]

@ Yes! Also if you plan on selling on shipping physical items, I’d recommend getting one!

[@sdfghjk123-g7c]

@@aliyacreated yes I plan on shipping physical items! Thank you :) is it expensive?

[@aliyacreated]

@ Mine is about $57.00 for 3 months. I purchased the smallest box they offer. You don’t really need a super big box because they will hold bigger packages for you! 🙂

[@xyngchic]

Wood wicks are picky. Wood is a living object…which makes it picky.

[@aliyacreated]

Haha definitely finding that out!
