- If you want to make more sales, make more money and get more customers in your handmade business, keep reading because in this video, I’m going to share with you five questions you should be asking your ideal customer to understand them on a deeper level that will give you the secret keys and answers to growing your business.
I’m going to share with you five questions you should be asking your ideal customer any chance you get.
You could ask these questions in an email after someone has bought from you. You might be surprised at how many people would respond to your questions because they really do want to help, and if you time your email to about 24 hours after they’ve bought, they’re even more likely to respond because they’re still thinking about the purchase they just made from you.
Make the email sound like it’s coming from you personally.
If you decide to automate this, I recommend not adding in any graphics or newsletter templates and just using plain text. That’s why 24 hours after the purchase is important. It makes it seem less likely to be an automated email.

What makes you different is you break things down in an easy to understand, practical way. You don't add fluff, you tell it like it is, even if it's not pretty. You explain the steps needed and let people know it actually takes work to be successful. I appreciate honesty.
Aw, thanks so much for the kind words, Beth!
You keep your videos precise and simple. Also, you don' t spew all sorts of "industry" jargon. You never seem to be talking down to us, just sharing the things you've learned on your journey. And I thank you for it!
Thank you for your kind words, agilbo100! And thank you for watching!
I like your videos bc you don’t come off gimmicky. Your vids don’t just look pretty with a lot of fluff content (very common these days). I actually learn a lot from every vid. So much click bait out there now. And you seem honest, knowledgeable but also humble :)
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jennifer! I really appreciate that!
I'm subscribed to you since your topics are geared towards small businesses that make handmade products. Your topics are really relevant!
Thank you for subscribing, Krystal!
What makes you different: your delivery is simple, which is really hard to do. I also get the sense that you aren’t hiding your best advice.
Thank you so much, Latoya! I really appreciate that!
Your videos are very practical and straight to the point, you don't hold back on sharing the tips on how to do things like others do. We are blessed to have found your chanel, thank you Mei!
Thank you so much for being here, Andrea!
You have responded to EVERY. SINGLE. COMMENT. 😲 I legit just found you & I am so impressed with your investment in this channel & your audience!
Aww, thank you! I appreciate every person who has chosen to subscribe to my channel, or who comments, or who watches my videos. I love this community so much!
Hey. I started watching your videos after seeing a sponsored FB ad because it was spot on. I never tried looking for business advice, I only got targeted by FB, watched a 50min video with you, and loved your style. You are clear, you do not sound vague, you give actual advice, you seem to be creative and very business-minded. I take notes and I feel that I am learning something new as I have little experience selling what I create and design by myself. Also, obviously, you are very specific - Handmade Business - this is what I want to hear. And I love that you ask to like and subscribe in the middle of your video - this just proves that you have a great mind for this.
Thank you so much for watching, Karolina! I really appreciate your kind comments.
You deliver information without repeating yourself and have concrete examples of what you're talking about. There is no pyramid scheme feel here. You're not focusing on telling people they can be successful as what you're doing specifically but what techniques transcend all disciplines. You're also just super likeable.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Julia! I appreciate it so much. I really do want to help creative businesses by sharing my experiences. 💖
I really appreciate that you focus on a few sound concepts instead of 35 tips bla bla. Less is definitely more when you’re on a learning curve. Thanks Mai
I'm glad to hear it, Carol! I agree - a few things can go a long way if they are the right few things! 😊
What makes you different is that you are very consistent in talking about creating systems and evaluating results to learn as you go. You are also so much more honest, you are not always talking about making 100K in your business, and about setting realistic expectations.
Thank you, Beth! I really want to help creative businesses be their best and I really hope it comes through!
Only 2 days after finding your channel: your content is easy to consume and it sounds like you're trying to help. The content is educational as well.
Aww..Thank you so much!! ❤️
To answer your question - I listen (and Kinda binge...) cause I love your tonation.
I don't make products by hand, and more and more I'm leaning into being an affiliate rather than a seller.
But listening to you talk about how to make products sell better- helps me select items to write about.
I also do Etsy shop critique and re-dos, so any info on the ecommerce world is important to me.
Also, in general, I like knowing stuff... Like that whole-buyers expect a 50% discount. I won't do anything with that info myself, but I like to learn while working.
If i'm working on designing something or writing (as long as I'm not coding) I like to have people around me, and as there are no coworking spaces now around me- You're my coworking space :)
Plus, I really want to start my own channel, mostly talking about being an affiliate, blogging, and selling on Fiverr, - and hearing you say you're insecure- helps.
I really appreciate you watching while you're working! Happy to be your co-worker from a distance.
I like that your videos start immediately. You do not delay your videos with trying to promote yourself or another product. You give step by step in depth explanations. Also, you speak clearly and at a pace that's easy to follow along.
I really appreciate that! More than anything I want this information to be accessible. Thank you so much for watching!
I love to listen to Mei. She’s practical and easy to listen to. I love her clarity and conciseness. It makes it easy for me to relisten.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Kelly! I appreciate it so much. 💖
I like your videos because you are clear, concise an you get straight to the point. Thank you!
Awww, thank you, Shari! I appreciate that so much!
I like that you don't add irrelevant information like a blog
For some people it totally fits with their brand but it's definitely not necessary.
Ha I have been searching your videos and was literally thinking about how clear you are; how easy you are to understand. 👏🏻
Thank you so much, Sherry! I really appreciate that!
Binge listening with autoplay on while crafting. This is my contribution to engagement for this video. Thank you for your channel!
I love that, Gilt! Thank you so much for watching!
The reason I follow and subscribed because , the sense of Genuity that I get from watching videos, you are not just selling your business but you re teaching valuable concepts, so thank you for all of that.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! It REALLY means a lot to me! ❤️
i binge watch your content because i absolutely love your personality and the way you express yourself, regardless of how much I hate the colors and things In your background i cant help but be mesmerized by your personality and fun way to give information
Aww. Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your support!! ❤️
Watch your videos Mei is exactly because you are direct, honest, draw from direct experience and break things down into logical and manageable steps.
In short, you make me feel that I CAN have a handmade craft business!! Thank you for what you do!
Thank you so much! You DEFINITELY can have your own business! I also have more information on my website and blog at creativehiveco.com, if that helps!
I watch your videos precisely for the same reasons you mentioned. You have a great skill of explaining & teaching: I have dyscalculia and still I understood everything you said in your pricing videos. Mindblowing!!! No-one else has been able to make me understand math. Ever. Plus you have a lovely big sister -energy in you.
Awww, that is awesome! Thank you! I love that you were able to understand the pricing with these!
I watch your videos because you have a very calming way of conveying your point without dragging on and losing my attention. You seem to have a lot of knowledge in the business side of being a handmade artist and since I've been trying to start up my own company in this field your content has helped a lot. Didn't know you were on in the acting biz until this video either so now watching your videos is even better because I feel like I know a bit of your personal journey as well. Keep doing what you do, Much Love 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for those kind words! I really appreciate it so much.
Mei,
I watch you because you are engaging, very clear and your information has taught me so much in a few short weeks. I subscribe and look for your videos regularly. I do perceive you as confident, very knowledgeable about handmade selling and so happy in appearance. I’m very inspired by you! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much, Lisa! I really appreciate that!
Hi, your videos are very helpful. I haven’t actually got a business up and running, yet.... but you provide a lot of food for thought before pursuing and how best to start or tackle issues you run into. You also have neat videos that are usually 15mins so not too long. Thank you!!! Love your content x
Thank you for watching, Rae! It's great that you are getting organized and doing research first. That will help so much!
We watch you because you’re a GOAT!! You are so honest & always giving such valuable info. Even bought your SALE A DAY program…yet to dive but YOU ARE WORTH it, for all that you GIVE to others! Big Up from 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Aww. Thank you so much for your kind words!! This really means a lot to me!! You're amazing!! I can't wait for you to dive into the course!! Good luck!! ❤️
I binge watch your video as background “music” for when completing work task and you always inspire me in some way or another that helps me grow my business
That's awesome! I'm so happy to hear that the videos are helpful to you!
I love how simply you lay out all the info you have to share. I always put your videos on in the background while I work my 9-5 and write notes down to use for after hours when I finally have time to work on my business. Your information always makes so much sense and is so easy to follow it's been so encouraging to feel like a know what I should be doing!
That is awesome, Bitsie! I love how you can integrate your own business learning into your regular job.
Wow you're so easy to love.
Thank you so much just got to know you and I can't stop listening to your tips. You doing a a great job
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching!
I think your relevant, experience-based tips that you share are great! You have a large collection of videos that are packed full of insightful content and you share details of your own personal experiences, trials and errors, and even your current endeavors. This combination of content, plus the fact that you are local to my area in MN makes your videos feel really relevant to me as I work on getting my own handmade business up and running. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, Caitlin! That is so nice of you to say!
Hello Mei, I have been watching your videos because you do make it easy to understand. I love the fact that you share your mistakes which allows me to reflect on my disasters over the past 50 years. Thank you for your honesty.
Thank you so much, Cheryl! I appreciate your kind words so much!
You don’t waste my time by playing long intro music or joking around. You get straight to the point, you speak clearly, you speak in easy to understand language and you seem like you enjoy yourself.
Thank you so much! I really try to be as accessible as I can to as many people as I can so I'm glad that is coming through!
Hi Mei! Love this video A LOT. I love watching your videos for so many reasons; 1 is that you have so many of them, so I feel like I can go to your channel and find almost anything I'm looking for. #2 is that I actually feel like you understand what I'm going through, and you strike a really good balance between optimism and reality.... you dont necessarily boast that building a handmade business can get you six figures in 3 months (like some people try to do), but you make your content really achievable which keeps me going! Thanks for it all :)
Thank you so much, Leah! I really want my content to be accessible AND honest, so I'm really glad that that is how it is coming across to you!
I like that you tell what you did in reality with the errors and the successes. It is very practical.
Thanks for your kind words, Raymond!
I rarely subscribe to any channel, no matter how much I like their contents. I'm glad to say yours is one of the few that I've subscribed! You create great and relevant contents that I've been searching for regarding handmade business. Your contents are really informative and in depth. Unlike majority of the videos out there that just merely talk about hashtags which I already know how it works, or they just touch and go (not to mention they are lengthy too). Your videos are definitely not short neither, but the info given are so helpful and applicable that I stayed on watching without any complaints. You talked about shipping, packaging, photography, things that worked for you (monthly subscription, ladder discounts) that many others dont! I really appreciate your amazing effort for making all these videos to help everyone in this community 😄
Thank you so much, K! I really appreciate that so much, and that makes me so happy that you subscribed and that you've found these videos so helpful.
I watch your videos because you present yourself as committed to your audience's success. You are consistent at producing videos, and never waste time with a lot of fluffy cheerleading, but get straight to the point with helping to steer us toward success with very practical advice.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Supertasticgreatness! (Honestly LOVE that username!)
Your videos speak about small business newbie questions,concerns or sometimes topics we never even thought about. You keep them lively, positive yet truthful, clean and I love the colorfulness of your background and theme. I also, like short to the point videos.
Hi Gladys! I am so happy you enjoy these videos. Thank you for watching.
I found your content via an IG ad in a moment of complete phase 2 of small business sm overwhelm and cannot tell you how grateful I feel to have someone explain SO CLEARLY what it actually takes to operate a profitable venture as a working artist. I am taking so many notes. Thank You!!!
I'm so happy to hear that you found me at just the right time, Quinn! Thank you so much for watching!
I was first introduced to you and your programs and content by a friend who has her own small art business and is a lot more experienced than me. She said she has had a lot of success with your program, which was what made me want to check out your classes. I decided to start watching your content because you were offering something different from most of what I had been seeing before, which hadn't been working for me. I've continued to watch your content because you explain things well and give actionable steps in basic language.
I'm so so happy to hear this, thank you so much for sharing that. I'm really glad that you've found these videos useful. 💗
Your honest and simple approach is inspiring. I suddenly don't feel like this is an impossible task.
That makes me SO happy to hear, Lisa! You can definitely do it! 💖
I watch your videos because I watch the same type of videos from other types of businesses. You can get different perspectives and tips and tricks that can be used for your own even if the subject doesn’t match. Your videos also get straight to the point and are easy to understand. And aestically your videos are better than others. There’s enough lighting, sound is good, etc.
I really appreciate your kind words and feedback, Marla!
you are truly amazing I am soooo happy that I found your page the content is so worth the watch
Thank you so much, Rejean! I'm so glad you are finding the videos helpful! Thank you so much for watching.
10:30pm -You are all that and more, Mei Pak. I haven't been on for while but I liked that I got a notification from you and you just talk so normal as if you're just having a conversation with us and I wouldn't have NEVER thought you dealt with anxiety. Way-to-go to get through it. Keep doing what you're doing cause I gotta learn and I've got a long way to go.
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching!
You're great at breaking things down without all the tech jargon!! Thank you for this!!
Thanks for watching, Glenda!
For me your videos had helped me and adviced me about my handmade creations to be more famous and to get more trafic. Right now I have only ebay and etsy listings but in the future I will have my own website. I like your videos also because you speed more clear and your advices are more accurate from others.
Thank you so much for saying that, Vasilis! I'm so glad to hear that these videos have been helping your business!
Your advise seems very practical, clear, and manageable. Also, I like that your videos are broken down into specific topics and you get to the point really quickly. I don’t find myself actively deciding if what you’re saying is actually relevant or not; it’s all relevant. Plus I like not having to fast forward through long drawn out introductions. Thank you!!
That is such a great compliment, Kelsey! Thank you so much for watching!
Why did I subscribe? I consider myself to be very selective of who I listen to, I love your tone of voice is very pleasant. Your knowledge but not pretentious. Professional, the topics are relevant and well organized. Straight to the point. I love the sounds effects make your videos fun, without having you to deviate from the topic to make a silly or irrelevant comment.
Thank you for those really lovely comments, Mabel! I appreciate that so much.
Thank you so much for this! It makes sense
I'm so glad, Diedra! Thank you so much for watching!
You are wonderful, keep up the great, valuable work!
Thank you so much for watching, Mary Anne!
I'm watching your videos because you are focused on handmade business, and the journey that you have been on is very relatable. I have struggled with confidence and underpricing. I have a very unique product that no one else makes, but has been treasured by all who have received it. I am finally stepping out (nervously) and starting to make a business focused on this product. Your videos have been very helpful. Thank you.
I'm so excited to hear this, Emi! Thank you for including me on your business journey, and I am so proud of you for taking your business to the next step!
You are generous with the information and although I appreciate you have a product to sell with creative hive, you arent constantly asking for the business without giving anything in return. You bring immense value in a concise way Xx
I appreciate that so much, Jackie! 💖
Hi,Mei, thank you so much for the information,it is so valuable!!! Jessica from Taiwan :)
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching!
Mei, to answer your question, I signed up for your A Sale a Day Business courses last week because when I saw your pitch video I knew you knew what you were talking about. I've had two small home based businesses where I sold primarily in fairs, markets and shows. Your pitch was on point. It gave me enough information to want to know more. I didn't think there was that much more but there is.... Goes to know how much I need to learn about selling on the web. Secondly, I watch your UA-cam videos because they give me quick insights that I can start working on over and above the training I paid for. Your instructions and examples are clear and get the point across. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Nathalie, thank you so much for your comment. I'm excited to get to know you and your business through A Sale A Day - it really is packed with so much information! I'm looking forward to diving in with you. 😊
Hi Mei! I found you through a UA-cam ad! (Yes, yours worked! 😄🙌) In this particular ad, you talked about how to grow your business through your handmade products. Because I have a similar style business, I clicked on it, and watched your vid (instead of the vid I was originally going to view 🤣). This was like 3 weeks or so ago. Ever since, I have been hooked on watching your UA-cam vids, almost on a daily basis. You are a WEALTH of genius information, and wisdom when it comes to business and marketing. I have seen many other "business gurus" on UA-cam, and I like what they have to say. However, most of their content is based on business in a general sense, and not all of their information is directly relevant to the creative industry. Which is why your content is so valuable for me personally. Plus, you explain things clearly, and simply, and offer simple step by step info that are easy to follow, all of which are up to date, and current with the goings on in the world which also directly impact businesses today. Again, a huge bonus. You get the creative industry, which helps me to feel that you get me, and my needs as a business owner. Which is huge! 🙏🙏 Thank you for ALL that you do, Mei. Thank you for making the decision to open up your businesses, go through your ups and your downs, and to then share them with us by opening up this channel, and provide us with SO much valuable information and knowledge related to business in the creative industry. You are already a blessing in my life. Thank you, thank you. 🙏💝
Thank you so so much for your kind words, Elisabeth! I'm really glad that you found my channel and that it's been helpful to you. This is exactly why I do what I do!
@@CreativeHiveCo A pleasure, Mei, and thank you again! I'm so glad you do what you do, and that you are exceptional at it! 💞
I like your comment because in short you keep it real and come across genuine plus you are very articulate and us high pitched girls need to stick together
Thank you so much for the kind words!! ❤️
I watch your videos because
1. So helpful because you share so many ideas on a platform like UA-cam that isnt going to make too much but you still do because you love to help
2. You're a sweet human with tiny hands
Thank you so much for that! I'm happy that you're here!
Awesome tips! I’ll definitely use them to help grow my own business. As for the reason I follow you, I enjoy you easy to understand tips while not skipping out on any important details. Your personality and speech are also pleasant. Thanks for providing these great videos for us!
I appreciate that so much! I hope you find my videos helpful, and I really appreciate you watching!
I like your voice and personality. You seem authentic and down-to-earth which makes me trust you. . Also, you're not "preachy".
Thank you so much for your trust and sweet words! It really means a lot to me! ❤️
I love watching your videos because you’re not over the top. And you don’t come across as exaggerating or lying, many people seem to be promoting certain sites ‘Etsy, shopify’ etc but you always give an honest opinion and that’s what I like about you! My shop is Nazine Alice Designs, very different to your shop but I still value your advice!
Thank you so much for your comments, Nazine! I reallly appreciate it so much.
I only found you a few days ago but I happened to pick one of your videos from a UA-cam search on how to start an Etsy account. I've been researching and trying to learn how to effectively run a craft business so that I can start my own. I found your video on why Etsy isn't the best basically unless you're starting out and after that video I started binge-watching through your channel.
I agree you're very clear and understandable when explaining things in your videos. You also have visually appealing videos that aren't distracting or boring to me and your voice is easy to listen too. Unfortunately some people just have a certain tone or something about their voice that it makes them hard to pay attention too. I can concentrate on what you're saying and the points you're trying to make. It's very assuring and makes me think I can trust what you're saying. I don't want to invest my time and energy into something that I feel unsure about only to have it blow up in my face.
Watching your videos I feel I'm learning from an honest and tried and true person instead of feeling like I'm being duped just so you can get views/attention to your channel. I like you have so much information for beginners like myself and I hope to see much more even if it seems too simple/logical and seems like something we should already know.
Thank you so much for helping noob people like myself, I personally really appreciate it!
I'm really glad to know that you're finding my videos helpful! Your comments are so kind - I really appreciate it. Doing your research now before you start is definitely going to help you in the long run, but do know it's inevitable to make some kind of error (but they are usually a super helpful lesson). You just need to keep moving forward. 💖
You have the gift of
A communication
Ie presenting new and sometimes complex concepts in a systematic way that is relatively easy to understand. And apply
B a Sunshine in your voice. This warmth says you are genuine and honest
And makes people very comfortable around/with/listening to You 🌈
Thank you so much for your kind words, RK!
I watch your videos because you have both a handmade business and a coaching business, so you have first-hand knowledge of both. I can always be guaranteed you will pack every video with useful info and practical steps. Love your style. 🎨🖌️
Thank you so much, Nancy!
I don't even have a handmade business yet, just getting a feel for what's involved. I find your videos so clear and simple, I am really starting to learn what to focus on and when. I find all your marketing tips so relevant and helpful for generally understanding marketing strategy, not just for handmade business so it's benefitting my current work already! And I really appreciate your honesty about not feeling confident - it's so easy to watch youtube and think 'all these people are so confident, I'm not cut out for this' so it's nice to get a reality check and a confidence booster in itself. Keep up the amazing work, thank you :)
Thanks so much for your kind words, Josephine! You can also find more about setting up your handmade business at creativehiveco.com - I hope you find it helpful!
I really felt connected to you in this video. I have bad anxiety and poor self-esteem as well and hope that one day be like you. I wish I could afford you as a coach! Someday, I will!
Thank you for your kind comments, Shannon. Just keep doing small and manageable things to take steps forward each day!
I first started watching your videos because the preview and initial impression was polished but still very much of a crafter/ small business owner first and foremost, rather than a coach or marketing expert. Your videos are also very informative on their own without *having* to sign up for coaching or emails and your engagement makes it feel very personal and helpful, which ended up getting me to the point where I am considering signing up for your paid course.
What kept me here to keep watching videos are the easy step by step instructions (almost feels like cheating lol) and that you present them in a way that motivates me to keep going with my business idea, very positive even when talking about difficult topics and being realistic.
That makes me so happy to hear. I really want to be here for anyone who is looking for help, and if they wish to go more in-depth then they can. I'm really happy you are here and you've found the videos helpful. 💖
What made me watch your video is I looked up Insta growing tips and a bunch of options popped up. The moment is saw your face is thought,”I bet she’s creative and smart.” Then, as I watched your video, I saw that I was right and you really make lots of sense.
I am a crocheter, I make beanies, ear warmers, etc...but mostly Amigurumi animals. It’s my passion. I started selling. Then and found I could do well. Now, I am trying to find ways to grow, esp online. There aren’t enough craft markets to do as well as I could. I’m a little terrified of shipping, taxes, etc. I want to move past that and find my target audience bc I really have quality products I know they’d love.
Lol I hope that answered your question. Thanks for all the info you share. It helps really. 👍🏻😉☺️
Thank you so much for your feedback, Sande! You may find my Facebook group as a helpful place to start (facebook.com/groups/347318245463423/) and I also offer a more intensive workshop for those ready to scale their business (www.creativehiveco.com/a-sale-a-day-business/)
I watch your videos because (after two decades in the craft biz) so many of your observations mirror my own experiences.....i.e......the black holes of craft shows and custom work. UGH!
That renders you credible.
Secondly, where I have been solely dependent on the quality and extreme uniqueness of my work, you have forged into marketing venues I was too lazy to find, but now, with my primary wholesale buyers (galleries) shuttered, your help to develop alternate retail customers is priceless.
derac, I really appreciate your comments. That is a very long time to be in the craft business, and I'm sure you've seen it all. I'm really glad this information has been helpful to you at this time!
Dear Lady,
Your information has been VERY helpful....
but since I first thanked you for your insight,
our orders from Etsy alone, have EXPLODED!
As a consequence, we have hesitated to implement your other suggestions, because,
so far, we are hard pressed to keep up with the current avalanche of Etsy orders.
But you are the real deal, circumstances are constantly changing, and I cherish the alternative options you freely offered.
Thank you for your good work!@@CreativeHiveCo
Mei !! I am so happy i found you !
Well , one of my friends recommended i watch you and i have been binge watching your videos every single a.m while getting ready for work..( and now too , its 10 pm and making orders for my customers😄). I am absorbing every single thing you are showing us on here and i am slowly implementing the things i learn to my shop! I want to thank you for taking time to teach all of us.
And thank you to my buddy Jenny in Texas too !!! ❤
Love from a Greek in N.Y !
Awww, thank you, Thaena! I'm happy you're here! Have you watched my Three Secrets Workshop yet?
@@CreativeHiveCo No i will look for it in a few minutes !
Here's the link if you didn't get to it yet! www.creativehiveco.com/workshop/?
You are the best business channel ❤❤❤
Aww. Thank you so much, Eliana! That really means a lot to me!! ❤️❤️
Y I watch your videos, as a small handmade business is getting ideas on running it, the reality in the business what to expect and what not to do.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
10:23- to answer your question its easy. because you write in your description or the thumbnail what people want to know unlike others and I am very grateful that you make these videos I have learned a lot from you. also your title is catching and makes people go to your video and listen to what you have to say to get as much resource as possible. as my dad says " people are resources" and no I understand what he means by that!! :)
Thank you so much for that comment, Nikol! People can be amazing resources, and it makes me so happy that I am one for you!
@@CreativeHiveCo your welcome!!
Thanks for this video Mei (: I just started selling my crafts and trying to figure out the best way to do it. I like how professional your marketing is as it shows lots of effort but also like you kept your style, which seems to be quite colourful and childish - you are original and explain things very well.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Rosita! They mean so much.
I like watching your videos because your info is valuable and you seem genuine and polite. Iv seen others and one particular one though her info is valuable she seems braggy and stuck up.
Thank you so much, Tara! I really appreciate your comments!
I watch your videos because you give unfiltered advice on how to be a successful handmade artist. As a fellow artist I respect that and I learn a lot.
Thank you so much Monet! ❤️
@@CreativeHiveCo you're welcome Mei! Keep doing what you do.
I have enjoyed watching your videos for several different reasons.
#1. You are actually giving your viewers information that was well thought of and put together.
#2. Your character stands out from others in your videos as you describe to your viewers about your experiences.
#3. You are educated on the topic of selling handmade products. You give your audience advice that no one else seems to want to share.
#4 this is my favorite,
You are not trying to sell me (the viewer) something!! In my opinion, that makes me want to hire you as a coach more. The authenticity in your approach to reach your audience is far and beyond incredible.
Once I have my business up and running with my blog, I am without a doubt going to praise you, your channel, your brand, and your super adorable and very unique jewelry!
I have big, big dreams and it is because of you that I now have the courage and confidence in my products to sell them at the price they deserve to be sold for.
You have opened up my mind about so many things. I truly am very grateful for your insights about managing and operating a handmade business.
Maybe, one day I can pick your brain!! 😉
Thank you, Katherine! That was such a nice comment you left for me and I appreciate every word! I hope you will be able to join me in A Sale A Day once you get up and running and then you can definitely pick my brain! 😊
Clear precise factual information.
Thank you so much, Ashley! I appreciate you watching!
I love your videos because the content is so concise and to the point and relevant. It is all such good and useful information and I’m learning so much. If I could add a bit constructive criticism, I personally find the sound effects in your videos a bit distracting and unnecessary. I know it’s to go along with the fun vibe but just wanted to throw that out there. Otherwise, awesome videos - thank you for sharing these tips! 😊
Thank you for your feedback!
you feel authentic
Thank you! I really try to be!
Hi Mei! I have just started down a rabbit hole of your vids and I love that you aren't promotional. You aren't selling a service that you mention over and over again. You aren't acting like you have this big secret that you haven't let us all in on yet! Your advice is very thought-through and detailed. You come across as an expert and very humble. I love it! Thank you for providing the value you do :)
Thank you so much, Vanessa! I really appreciate your kind words, and glad you are loving the videos. That makes me so happy!
@@CreativeHiveCo Yayyy glad to hear it :D
I choose to listen to you because I know that you really have a handmade business instead of the others that I have to believed juste because they tell me that they know ...
Thank you so much! I am really happy that you are here, and I hope you're finding these videos valuable. I do try and share my experiences, and I've had a lot of them! 😂
Hi Mei, Your videos are fabulous because they are not full of business and marketing jargon. Once I hear too many acronyms the content is lost on me and I turn off. I feel you communicate very well and this helps those of us who are still trying to grow our businesses. The content is relevant and you also pace the information well and keep your audiences attention. Thanks so much
Hi Janece, thank you so much for your kind words! I have a video that deals with target audiences that you might find helpful: ua-cam.com/video/ISCyjUQz66M/v-deo.html
The reason i am attracted more towards your content is your simplistic way of telling and teaching very important things .
I Just love you siso you are like my elder sis who is guiding me to face the world 😘😘😘😘😘
I'm really happy to hear that the content is accessible and easy to understand. That is so important to me. Thanks so much for watching!
@@CreativeHiveCo i am learning a lot from you and the day i will get the result i am surely going to inform you . Hope that day comes soon .
Thank you soo much for ypur guidance .
Love from india 😘😘😘
I look forward to that day! 💗
Binge watching your videos
Thank you so much Cindi!! ❤️ If you're also interested, you're more than welcome to join my free workshop. Feel free to register here: www.creativehiveco.com/profit/? Hope to see you there! ❤️
I was curious if you still did coaching? I was browsing your website, but did not see it. But I did see all the free ones 😊
I have the A Sale A Day business system course: www.creativehiveco.com/a-sale-a-day-business/ and I also have an Accelerator coaching program: www.creativehiveco.com/agency-accelerator/
I’d love to have you as a coach. I love your videos.
Wow, thank you, that is so nice of you to say! I do work with creative business owners in my A Sale A Day course, if you'd like to check it out. www.creativehiveco.com/a-sale-a-day-business/
Hi Mei. Do u have a video on Handling customer complaints on Handmade products. Like something went wrong in production and hook came off or button peeled off like those types.
I have a blog post on customer service, but this would be a good video, too! www.creativehiveco.com/calming-the-cranky-customer-big-customer-service-for-small-business/#more-7270
@@CreativeHiveCo Yes plz..cant wait for ur video on this topic. Very crucial.
You asked what attracts your content vs. other people's content. You have been there, done that. You have an incredible amount of social proof. You are very accessible (like for example you commented on a youtube comment i made before I bought your course which showed me you care and you're a real person. You're generous as well as relevant with your information in regards to handmade businesses. I enrolled in the Sale a Day Program www.creativehiveco.com/a-sale-a-day-business-closed/ and I am on module 1, and after the first zoom call with you and your team, I see your course as being as valuable as what I would hope to get out of an MBA. Although I have a BFA and MFA, believe it or not art school didn't teach me anything about business.
I really appreciate the compliments, Shalena! I'd love to see you back in the forums soon! 💗
🙌
10:21 cause your explanation are very simple
Thank you so much Faizah!! ❤️❤️
What makes you different is you don’t just regurgitate certain sayings you actually elaborate on them. And you don’t make the info “secrets”
Thank you so much for saying that! I'm glad my videos are relatable!
Look! I just made my own language! Hahaha! Can we be friends? 😁
Definitely, Kendra! :)
@@CreativeHiveCo Yes! High Five! 🙌 p.s. I make polymer clay flower jewellery so your advice is sooo on point 😍
Hi May, I've watched plenty of your videos and like the way you say things! They are simple and understandable!
I've sent you a private msg in your Instagram inbox, I'd like to reach you in formal way, could you please check out and let me know?!?!
Thank you 😊
Hi Konstantina! Thank you for your kind words! Could you please email me at mei@creativehiveco.com? That's the best way for you to get in touch. ❤️
@@CreativeHiveCo yes dear May, I already have (I found your mail this morning!) 😊
Thank you 🤗
You don't give these frou frou ideas, like knowing your customer's name and how she takes her coffee. You also are identifying my struggles and observations with accuracy- social media is a waste of my time, pi terest is not where people go to shop - so its confirmation that I'm on the right track but just need the right direction. Your ideas make sense, and you've been there. It helps that our products are kind of similar, bright colors, cutsy, etc.
I'm so glad you've found it helpful, Bethany! Thank you for your kind words.
