I watched this last night twice. I just got a job as a full-time engineer and I’m spending my free time making art. You have shown myself and so many people that it IS possible to be a full-time artist-that is my dream. Thank you for beating back the starving artist stereotype.

@jennyjumpjump 2 месяца назад

You can do it! I was a full-time software developer and Linux admin and now I'm a full time artist.

@WildVoltorb 2 месяца назад

Holy mama, you have a real job, don't move to this field 😂 it's brutal. I'm an artist Sometimes I feel life would be easier if I had a normal job. Specially at times like this with AI. Thank you software devs

@ashleyanzo9307 2 месяца назад

me too!!!! no fucking way, we should connect what’s your instagram? i’m in the same boat and i really wanna pursue my own art business

@katgreer6113 2 месяца назад

@WildVoltorb "Real job?" I never thought I'd hear an artist say that omg😭

@Mary-jl9qf Месяц назад

@@WildVoltorb oh yeah, you definitely say that because you don't have, and perhaps never had a "real job". Being an artist is not easy but that corporate lader is going to give you a burnout and you are not even doing something you like

@anat01 2 месяца назад

8:37 I fully agree here- I work in advertisement and the amount of reels we make every week is……. is a lot. do know though you can make very simple things for reels! it doesn’t need to be extremely animated, it can be just a bunch of pictures

@soarpurpose 2 месяца назад

You said you can't wait until your domain expires to change it. You can have more than one domain name then redirect to your preferred one. This is in case customers type in a different version or in case someone else registers a similar name. A debit card works the same as a credit card. It is a very good idea to have a separate account for business transactions to make the tax obligations etc easier. Would also recommend trademarking your business name. Otherwise there is nothing to stop a competitor from taking the name (and similar domain names). Trademarking a name is different to registering a business name (eg as a company).

I love this. I’m a small business owner. I free style crochet for 14 years but 6 years ago I start selling. My regret was not advertising and having socials for them. I now struggle with getting consistent customers 😂 I’m thankful enough that some of my friends help support me ❤

@Khadija-sx1io 3 дня назад

Heyy I’m thinking of doing a crochet small business too! Can you please share with me your experience!

@heyitzashley1 3 дня назад

@@Khadija-sx1io of course! I’m actually thinking of posting videos of my crochet business experience on my channel ❤️ but I recommend to stay consistent with posting even if you don’t get the views. Even if you have to make 3 videos of the same thing. I’ve only done it 2 times also where I’ve given out freebies to help me with promoting. Currently I’m transitioning to crocheting clothing/accessories so I’m learning how to sell clothing now 🫶🏻

@kittietreatsshop 2 месяца назад

I agree that showing your face on social media really helps, because as soon as I started showing my face in my videos, my business really started to take off! I think it’s honestly because people love to support other people, and it also helps build more trust. So if you can bring up the courage to show your face on camera, it can really take your business to new heights! Also, I agree that getting a business credit card and a business checking account is super helpful to keep track of your business expenses and it also makes tax time a LOT easier! I earned so much cash back with my Discover credit card for my business expenses that I’ve been able to get lots of things for free! So it’s definitely worth it!

@sharlenegelito7672 2 месяца назад

The quality of your videos has drastically improved through time and a video like this breaks down all the “uncomfy” topics of running a small business yet opens new doors for those wanting to start a new business. I only hope you continue to succeed and keep creating more educational and entertaining videos!

@sumannn0-0 2 месяца назад

I'm planning to start a small crochet business for a while now but the fear of being out there for others to see as some one who is very shy and quiet around people in general all my life has me going a bit insane. Your videos always make me push a little when I'm unable to do it for myself

@jningbun 2 месяца назад

I recently discovered your RU-vid channel and I am so grateful for your content. I can feel how genuine you are and I think I've teared up in almost every video of yours I have watched so far 😆❤️! Thank you for sharing your journey as a creator and parts of your life with us 🎉

@nicknmhere 2 месяца назад

I started following your journey some weeks ago, and it has been amazing to watch old videos and see how far you've come. It's a breath of relief from the "starving artist" mindset. Thank you so much for being such a beacon of light, it's been so helpful to see these videos and feel like we can actually live doing what we love as an artist. Thank you! Much love from Brazil!

@LopsideMakes 2 месяца назад

Currently starting a business that won’t be online for a long time, but eventually I’d love it to be. I’ll make sure to use these tips, thank you so much! The biggest one for me is definitely investing back into your business. I always do everything by myself, and I should start to use what I have to make things more efficient and easy! Thank you so much Uncomfy, you’re such an inspiration!

I really admire how you’ve grown your business, congratulations! I have your videos on when I’m pricing up stock for my retailers and when I’m packing orders and you always make my anxious self a little calmer, thank you! Fab tips ❤

@jrosealchemicart8025 2 месяца назад

Such a good video! I’m always nervous to share too much in my posts and videos, but it’s definitely my family and the values they shared that have inspired me so much to create my little ghosts and their stories. After watching this, I feel like it might be okay to share that part of my journey with my art too, so thank you 😊

@sugarshrimp 2 месяца назад

Hello! I just watched all of your videos beginning to end and I just wanted to briefly say that I have pretty bad anxiety and other health issues but you have brought me sooo much comfort. You have achieved your goal concerning that. When I'm having a bad or unproductive day I just watch your videos. I would also like to say that you have inspired me immensely to start my own small business! I have started making jewelry and clay earrings and such. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. Make sure to take breaks and to take care of yourself!
