The Slow Creative
Canada
Приєднався 10 бер 2017
Hi, I’m Krista, a coach, content creator, and unschooling mom of two living in Calgary, Alberta. After taking a significant break due to burnout, I’ve reignited this channel to share my journey of rebuilding my business to better align with my energy, passions and values.
The Slow Creative is a nurturing space for coaches, creators, healers, and highly sensitive solopreneurs seeking to grow their creative business without overwhelm or using loud, misaligned marketing methods that don’t feel good.
To follow along, subscribe to my channel or start with my free audio guide, The Art of Slow Business for soothing insights on cultivating a business that feels like a genuine expression of YOU.

Why a large audience ISN'T everything
I know many of you are feeling the frustration of not having a large following and resonated with my last video about not needing a massive audience to have a thriving, fulfilling business.
I had a few more thoughts that came to mind so this is a quick follow-up to that video where I hope to offer some encouragement and a perspective shift to emphasize that success DOESN'T require a massive audience.
I delve into why focusing on deeply connecting with your current audience is more valuable than striving for a large, superficial following. I share tips on creating resonant content that genuinely engages and supports your existing audience, helping your business grow naturally and sustainably.
PS. In this video, I also referenced another creator in the slow, connected marketing space, Jen Carrington. You can check her out here: www.youtube.com/@jenkontiscarrington

I'm sorry I don't speak Spanish. I wish!
Ther is no Overlay tutorial.
@@sameetabbasov3918 oh! How would you describe the video? Text overlay? Perhaps I used the wrong terminology
@ This term connection to Photoshop. For example, you have some photo and you want to light effect. You can easily color match. The function has different types. Like : Liner, Overlay, Normal ect.
@@sameetabbasov3918ah I see where you’re coming from now. My followers typically don’t use PS and just want to know how to have the image appear through with enough contrast between the text and this was the only way I could think to describe that! :)
I'd love to hear your thoughts below, what resonated most with you? If you want to catch the initial video that sparked this conversation, you can watch that here: ua-cam.com/video/pX-CvSHfFm8/v-deo.html
I love this message, every point. I suggest turning the music down, it’s overshadowing your voice.
I'm glad it resonated with you :) Thank you for your feedback, I completely agree. In some of my more recent videos (ones that were recorded after this one), I did turn the volume down so hopefully, you'll notice a difference going forward :)
@@kristabauercreative I went through the same thing with music on my channel and subsequently turned it off unless I had a stretch of no talking at all. Keep posting. You have good things to say.
@@WendyDewarHughes Thank you, appreciate your kind words :)
This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thanks so much.
Beautiful, Wendy. I love it when that happens :) What do you do?
@@kristabauercreative I'm an artist.
@ I LOVE your channel 🤍
@@kristabauercreative Thank you so much!
Hello from Japan. Thank you for sharing the great reminder and ideas. I love your contents!
Hello, I'm back from Canada. :) Thank you for sharing where you're watching from. I love Japan; I've been there once. Do you have an online business?
Wow I just discovered you through this video. I am so happy I did. It's getting me very inspired and I really resonate with your way of doing things. Checking your content to learn more about what you do and how you do it. :-) Thank you.
Welcome to the channel, Eleonore. It's so lovely to have you and thank you for your thoughtful comment. Do you have an online business, and if so, what do you offer? Also, if there is something you'd like to see me cover, please let me know. I'm just returning from a long break due to a big life transition and am open to input. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out here or through my website :)
Thank you
You're welcome! Did something resonate specifically, Bianca?
@ Yes. Authentic connections are important to me. Even in business and especially as a children’s author. A small part of me was worried about numbers and it was hard to silence that. I guess it’s human.
@@Kassandra555-2 Thank you for your response, Bianca. I agree, feeling angst when the numbers aren't growing is very common. I find focusing on the people who are in my audience and going deep with those connections helps me stay focused on the greater goal of gaining deeper insight into who they are and what they need from me. Then (and this is the hardest part) I try to let go and trust that by creating deeper resonance my audience will grow in due time. Wishing you so much success and joy on your journey 🤍
Thanks for sharing your insights! It would be really interesting and helpful if you did a Video on a typical day in your life!
Thank you, Rosalia. I love this idea! I will definitely work on this. I appreciate your input :) Do you have an online business?
Krista I recently found your channel and podcast and have loved hearing your wisdom and insight. I recently started a UA-cam channel and the part where you talk about meaningful metrics really spoke to me and im excited when the time comes to engage thoughtfully and intentionally with those who resonate with my content in the future. - Briana
I love that, Briana, thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and for following along. What is your UA-cam channel about? Wishing you so much joy and fulfilment as you grow 🤍
