Thanks for all the useful info!!!! Where do you order your custom boxes and tape?

Now this is the type of videos i appreciate. Teaching others is a way to give back

[@xxlscrunchie]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you appreciate this type of content. Teaching and sharing knowledge truly is a wonderful way to give back to our communities!!

I bought the Lalage Beaumont Fontyn in medium tan last week at *suluxy* and since receiving it I have been using it and neglecting my designer collection (honeymoon period maybe) , but I was really impressed with the quality and timing, right down to how they used it. Will wear it. I wish they would make this bag in a variety of pinks (i.e. sakura pink). There are actually many options to choose from

[@SoRight8]

I love how you're multitasking! 😄 You're working, making a video, offering valuable content, teaching newbies, and creating passive income. This is a masterclass in time management!

[@danross4953]

FR!!❤

[@TaanjaAgata]

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *suluxy* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

[@xxlscrunchie]

I have vlogs on how I marketed my small business on social media - and how that got me customers! Hope these help answer your questions! ☺✨🖤 kzbin.info/aero/PLF2RgENMv3R5bZR9lKdF-CD6aNuC_O5ss&si=x5gwKy9pMsQJh-3A

The main thing is HOW DID YOU GET SO MANY ORDERS? How did you market ? How people found you ? That’s the thing I need to know.

Advertising. Tell your story! Sell yourself. Post your products or services. Not to sure but that’s what I got from this video and others..

I used to follow you religiously in 2021, then I fell off, now I'm back . I am glad you are growing. The humility of you saying 'small business' says a lot about you.

[@Halloweirdo2013]

A sole proprieter is the only person who owns a company and their personal assets are tied to the company (aka if your company gets sued because of a product malfunction they can take your personal property such as cars, house, and any other belongings that can be liquidated to pay for the plaintifs awarded sum and court costs) where as an llc is a limited liability company which allows a separation from personal assets and business assets.

[@jossgrodriguez]

I did not know this! Thank you!

[@Shyts_n_Giggles]

They can't take anything from you if you don't own it. Put everything in a Trust. Own nothing, control everything.

[@risingvikings5834]

This. I'm glad I took a business law class in college. I'd setup an LLC rather than sole proprietorship.

[@AnnieIsaLau]

Yes exactly! This is super important! Even non profitable organization need to be careful with those type of stuff.

[@Sissi1830]

Thanks for the explanation! I had no idea

[@melbapp]

Tina, I opened my small business because you inspired me. I saw you on Instagram and I love your content and what you do. I use Shopify and I used one of their templates when I started. It was easy but I found that taking product pics and deciding on photos was the most difficult for me. I don’t ship to Canada, yet. That is something I’m terrified about. I’m just beginning. I mostly sell to locals and people that I know. I’m going to try loading more to social media and see where it takes me. Thank you for sharing all that you do. I watch your videos while I work in my home. ❤️

Loved this, loved how you explained everything in detail in the explaining, the tone, timing-you didn’t just whiz through everything - you took time and effort in getting all your details across. Absolutely loved it. All the info, I need to watch it again and be writing down all the info so I can remember all the tips and names of the companies that you listed. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and things that you experienced things that you went through that was very helpful.

[@xxlscrunchie]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful. 🖤

[@jene826]

I want to thank you so much. You have given me such incredible information on how to start my own business and how to ship it and sell it online. I was so confused and nervous about how to do this. But now that I know through your KZbin video, it really helped me to understand it much better. I 'm more confident about how to start my business.🎉

[@xxlscrunchie]

That's amazing! I'm so glad it gave you the confidence to move forward! ✨

[@jessicakienitz4652]

Thank you so much queen! I have done SO much research & tried similar things when I wasn’t even ready to launch yet🤣 & it’s EXHAUSTING trying to watch other people’s videos & how-to’s because they legit just stole other people’s halvsie info & THAT’S why it’s useless & confusing because they don’t even know what they’re talking about! I have even reached out to small biz owners on other platforms about how to set up TikTok shop for instance & got so confused & here I am watching your step’s & telling myself wow you just got told🤣 THANK YOU THANK YOU! Very few small biz owners share all the juicy details but this is by far the BEST I’ve seen & you know how to present yourself to that camera & you don’t talk too fast or slow & it’s perfect for note taking & you even pulled up pics & the websites directly to see examples. I appreciate you so much for simplifying this for me & others!❤

[@Dani_N_Hays]

I grew my hair back out because I wanted to wear your productd❤ we also opened our small business this past month! Thanks for being such an Inspiration!

Love the encouragement at the end of the video ❤. I'm starting a small side hustle while working a 9 to 5 job and I don't know if one day I'm gonna be able to turn the side hustle into a full-time. I've already stumbled at the very beginning and I'm feeling the pain of starting a business. This is exactly what I need to watch. Thank you so much and wish you more success!!!

[@VerveandShine]

I’ve been laid off from job, now i am working on passion I just launched my small jewelry business. Your support means the world!

[@thecnguyen]

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this. I’m only a few minutes in the video, I remember I paid someone thousands of dollars to literally teach me everything you have mentioned in this video (I didn’t continue with the program). It says a lot about you, your character, your heart for even putting out such a thoughtful, informative video for others to learn from. Been following you since the very beginning and I wish you more success to your business. I hope you take the time to celebrate how far you’ve come and you should be very proud. ❤ Warm wishes.

Thank you for sharing! Even since you got Bruce's shark tag my business has evolved and grown. At the start of April I lost my job again, I was laid off end of Jan and then got hired and then laid off start of April. To say the least it took a toll on me but I just started pouring myself into my business. I really love how involved your parents and family are and find that such a blessing for you. It can feel very lonely when it is just you that believes in yourself. But always appreciate your videos as they make me feel not so alone. 💖 I'm attempting to take my focus to KZbin since short form just feels so fleeting but I need to get better at filming 🤣 Also YES YES YES on thinking about the name and expansion. As an artist, many people use their name as the brand. But I knew that I didn't want it to just be my name for expansion purposes which is why I came up with what it is today. Though admittedly my KZbin is more about me as the artist and not my brand.

9:40 the PO Box it also depends on the size of the PO Box a lot of them are the size of a shoe box maybe double depending on the mail office. Some will call you if a big package shows up some will not. They will assume you know it is there and maybe set it aside. You will sometimes get a warning and if you get so many they will close it, like if the PO Box over flows. We’ve watched a lot of small businesses and this is from them not our personal experience. So, using a permanent building address like your house is best.
