Everyone should know that starting a business is hard and needs a lot of time but when your brand gets to the stage where you have clients it gets easier. Saying this as a marketing and business specialist❤
@KhayriJaber-o3m if you already know what you want to sell then look for the target, knowing that is the most important so you can find the ways to make them wanna buy in your shop. You can read about Michael Porter and Philip Kotler, that will help you. Good luck✨️
I needed this :') I started my ceramic shop this year and just did my first pop-up. The imposter syndrome is kicking in full force, but thank you so much for the encouraging words and insights!
I’m so glad you made this video cause you really inspire me to try and start a small business. It’s something I can see myself doing and the way you’re giving so much advice (FOR FREE!) is just even more empowering and I’m so grateful for that. Seeing you grow and watching your videos has truly been good for my soul this year. So happy I found your channel. Keep being your lovely self🩷
I'm so grateful for this video! I started my small business 6 months ago, and I struggled with growing my socials and selling my inventory. Then I discovered Quickly Social, and it helped me a lot. Thank you so much for this video; it made my day 10x better!
I've been following for awhile, and I started my small business awhile back. I had to start over for the sake of my health but, this year I'm hoping to start UA-cam and reboot my brand. Thanks for the insight and motivation
I’m just starting my small business! I haven’t launched my shop yet but I’m researching, designing, and setting up social media for marketing. It’s so overwhelming but this is what I really want to do! Thank you so much for the video it was really helpful!✨
You should defiantly go for it! I'm in the progress of starting mine as well and it' honestly so exciting and ofc challenging but it'll be worth it to see the outcome!
Thank you, Annika! I came across your videos nearly a year ago and watching you work with your business and seeing how it grew inspired me! I've always wanted to open my own shop but was afraid to do so but I think I'm going to start working toward it in the new year! I'm sure I'm older than your average subscriber but even so, this video reminded me that it's not too late to start chasing your goals. Thank you for the lovely video ♡♡♡
I really want to start a small business and I love graphic design making cute aesthetic sceneries and I love to crochet so this video helped sooooo much I have been wanting to start it for a year but never started it I was scared but I think I will do it in the new year 2024 tysm
Ive been hot and cold on my own fashion brand for years, from comparing myself to other indie brands to nearly giving up because I feel like I’ll never make it happen it’s been hard. But seeing this and all the realistic advice you give while being a small business owner really gives me encouragement!
I am starting my first small business creating and selling accessories and cage interior for guinea pigs and small animals as well as some guinea pig related art (cards and stationary) in addition to working full time. It is unnerving and scary, but also exiting and inspiring. Ive never done anything like that, but came to a point where I just couldnt NOT do this.
I remember watching you back in your college days and it's satisfying to witness your journey to where you are now! You're so incredibly talented and your work ethic is admirable
❤I'm so thankful that the UA-cam algorithm led me to find your video! As someone who owns a small business and also planning to start a youtube channel, I find so much comfort in the things you said in the video. I can relate to so many things, and thank you so much for sharing your journey! To whoever is running a small business or planning to start one, sending you love and light! May the Universe's guidance bring you abundance and success! ✨
I have been thinking about starting my own clothing business. So Thank you for doing this video the way you did It, was a prefect response to “how do I do this? I don’t have any experience?! my hand is stuck in the cricket!!!” And I really appreciate that💛
Thank you so much, it is so difficult starting out, putting in so much hours and putting your self out there. I just started my jewelry business and this inspired me to keep going. This was so helpful!
This video has been sent by whatever divinity has been paying attention to my thoughts because I am thinking of starting two small businesses! Not at the same time, one depends on how the other progresses, but I'm working on it. I've been watching so many of these videos that I already knew what you were going to say but you've still helped me a lot. Thank you.
I'm so proud of all of the people I'm seeing on "Small Business" youtube, but all of y'all are so young and fresh 😫. I'm pushing 40 and I feel like it's too late for me
Omg i actually started it in 2024!!😭😭 i didn't remember that part when i watched it beforee! Thank u so much anh, ur guide videos are always really helpfull, and also ur videos really warms my ❤, since always!! Ty for being u ✨️🩷
To be honest, your channel is one of the channels I had going while I prepared to start my own business. You gave me so much inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing the advice and tips.
woah this is so insightful! thank you for sharing all these. It definitely motivated me into starting my own small business even if I'm still so full of doubts and uncertainties
Love this video! I started an Etsy shop selling stickers about 2 years ago. I haven't been consistent because life. But I want to get more serious. My struggle is wanting to do it all! I see new things and I want to try everything. I have so many big ideas and dreams, it is difficult to filter and settle on what to sell. I like the idea of switching to my own website, just worry it won't get any traffic that way? I know I need to utilize social media, and I need to work on setting up those schedules to post! Thank you so much for sharing about your journey!
You know why I like you? Because as a business person you share when things become problematic and not that other people don't but with you it feels realistic on top of that you show or tell us how or when you fix it. That's why I like you you're transparente
I started an etsy shop (NotYesterday) back in 2021, it never really did too well and i always planned on revamping it but still have yet to get to it. But after watching this i have a new motivation to get it done! I will revamp this coming year and reopen my sticker shop in June! You have been a huge inspiration not only in the realm of small business but in how you live your life so well. Thank you for the motivation and inspiration to start again!
Thank you for this Annika! I don't have a physical business but I do voice-over/voice acting professionally and the same tips you gave still apply to my type of business. Consistency and exposure is most of it!
Seeing clips from your early days of bullet journaling made me so nostalgic! I've been watching your videos since 2020 and seeing the way that your shop and youtube channel have grown has not only been such a joy, but it's also a testament to your hard work and passion for what you do. Your success really is proof that if you just start, learn along the way, and keep going and growing, you can truly accomplish anything you want to 🥹✨Thank you for this video, it has helped a lot with my own journey of starting a small business and I can't wait to report back in a few years 🫡
I’ve been watching a lot of small business UA-camrs so far you’re the only one that open up about the prices of your items and expenses . Truly grateful for your content 🥰👏🥰
Thanks to Annika and other small business UA-camrs, I finally found the courage to open my own small business this year 💕 I learned so much from your behind the scenes videos (and picked up a few new recipe ideas along the way 😊)
Thank you for putting up this video. I needed that motivation. I was planning to start my small insta business this year. The last 2 years have been difficult for me and my little boy and I'm hoping this year would finally be good to us. So thank you and I appreciate you ❤
I was casually watching this video until I saw that you actually used my video as a recommendation for getting started and here I am watching your video to get re-motivated in running my shop again! ACTUALLY WILD. Thank you so much for recommending my video and I'm so glad it helped you with starting as your vid here has given me so many helpful tips to improve my shop as well ^^
the thing about people relating to the person behind the business is so real and i can testify it myself right now, found this video of yours because i was looking infos on how to open a small business and i immediately subscribed, you give off such a cozy, sweet and relaxing vibe with your videos and it's something i so need right now!! 🥺
I am working on starting my own crochet craft business but initially starting at craft shows first. I have been watching since you were still printing your own stuff and it has been so motivating watching your journey. I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for the future and thank you so much for all of the advice :) happy holidays!
When you start up your business I’d love to support you, even if it’s just to follow at first(I am poor lol 🥲🥲)!! I also crochet and love seeing other ppls craft 🫶🏼
i’ve just started a crochet business called miafactured !! these tips are so great and i love how you’ve broken it down without 100 steps and tasks on a to-do list. my biggest question is what sort of content would you recommend for marketing? i’m stuck on what to post but know that it’s one of the most essential parts of building a business
This video really gives me strength. Thank you for sharing. And you are the best person on earth coz I always watch your videos. They give me motivation to do things and fight my depression away.
This is so timely that I just found your channel! I've started UA-cam during the pandemic to share my journey in rediscovering art. I have been inconsistent...because, well, life happens. But I am claiming 2024 and finally, I will join an art market soon. :')
Thank you so much for sharing. I started trying to sell at craft markets in September last year and I've failed. It's so encouraging to hear that it doesn't happen overnight. 💕
I'm planning to start my own business in about a few years or more because im not at the age to start one and to understand what some people mean but thanks for sharing, i am about to take notes for the future!
You have no idea how much I appreciate you making this video. I am a 52 year old crazy lady from South Africa. At a stage/age in my life where others my age are getting ready to retire or slow down or move in with their children😉, I am figuring out how to be financially independant. (I know, right!) I have been dreaming of starting a stationary line for 3million years. You, gorgeous, inspiring young lady, have given me fresh hope, new dreams and a good shot of courage. I thank you so very very much and I wish you abundant success in all areas of your life! With much love, Charlene Aka, CrazyladyfromAfrica😂
Thank you so so much for this video!! It was both full of information and motivational✨ I felt like i'm in front of you and talking to you when you answered all these questions. Though communication is something I have to work on, I think I just gotta get started. You really gave me the energy to start making an action💓
This has been such a joy to watch. This is one of the best and easy video to watch and understand. Thank you so much for sharing. I have been sitting on building a business for around 2-3 years. You’re right about starting. My issue was starting. I started creating a Fear list, listing out all the reasons why I don’t want to start or my fears of starting so I can acknowledge, accept, and working through them. I have also changed my “business name” so many times. Hahaha! Right not it’s Adorkable Studio. Will it change later on? Who knows! Haha! Again, thank you for the information in this video! ❤ Right, so why now? Now, because I’ve been in this endless cycle of unhappiness with being at a job that does not fulfill me. I have never been able to stay at a job for more than 3 years. No, that is not something to be proud of, it is a sign. A trend. A pattern. I’m ready to break that cycle. Ready to end that pattern. Right now, in my mind, the only solution I can think of is starting my own business. Will it work? I have no idea. But I won’t even know till I try right? So, 2024 will be that year. Wish me luck!!! I need Universe on my side. (Please, Universe?) P.S this is going into my journal entry for today. Haha!
annika crying over taxes is so real😭 ILYSM ANNIKA, and u inspired me to start journaling and start my small business💗 also encouraged me to be healthier tbh
thank you annika for inspiring us small business owners ! ive just started mine about 6 months ago, and watching these really motivates me because i can relate to most things that u say, it shows that every other business owner have their own struggles and journey, and everything takes time ❤
this is the exact video I've been wanting from Annika because me myself actually gonna start a small business. thank you Annika for these advices, so happy to have you 😇❤
just found this video and it was just in time before my second ever maker’s market while i’m still a hot mess and in the midst of developing my lil brand so i am absolutely comforted by the fact that my journey will be different than others’ and that is okay! thank u for this vid
Cyndicat Budgets, my UA-cam Channel as well as my Etsy Shop! I sell to the Budgeting Community and started with digital products. Also I was 68 years young when I started. Thank you for sharing the information!! 😽😽
She is like an elder sister....awww❤ I am gonna cry ...the way she is talking literally feels like I have an elder sister who is guiding me ...😭 which i don't have irl...thank you it was helpful ❤
thank you for this video, I'm about to launch my story and it was very reassuring to watch and listen to you. I really appreciate everything you shared!
That‘s really helpful video and encouraged me a lot😭 I've been so struggling about how to open a small business and just want to give up... but I feel confident now after watched this video! Let's do it together!
So happy I found this video, just started my little sticker shop and just got so overwhelmed with all the other amazing artists on the site. Hoping one day to grow to an independent site but one step at a time. Thank you so much for this video again made my day 10x better ❤😊
Tysm, you are like a big sister i never got, i have always wanted to startmy Buisness but i myself and thinking abt all the negative comments i will get from my family for starting a Buisness so young i kept dely0aying my thoughts for 2 yrs finally i had courage to ask my mom this summer...and she said YESSSS!! And she will support me in any way possible since she is a Buisness owner her self! And i was not sure what to start mybuisness abt. My mom said i could start with bracelets since i have many supplies for thousands in my currency. But i was not sure but seeing that another business owner has done it im trying it out too❤❤ 🎉🎉 so anyone who is scared of their family or failure dont worry 😊 you are going to BlAST THIS OFF 😅😅 . Good luck to others and me who want to start!L ❤❤
This video was so helpful! I've tried to start a digital products brand recently and I get so overwhelmed that I don't get anything done. I definitely want to switch from selling on Etsy to selling on my own website.
The Big question is, how to find the perfect brand name. And getting the correct information, all the info is always better than not having not enough.
Hi I’m actually starting a small business and I came across your channel. And this is the first channel I could actually listen to without being stress.confused, or procrastinating. I hope to see more videos like this! Thank you. (Ps ima drop my channel for my business in a couple weeks)
this is one of my many ideas, like starting a small business for myself because of my idea-filled brain and I am sure I will start because of your advice. This is by the way my first visit to your channel and I feel as if it was fate
I am so happy that you made a video about some tips and tuts abt starting a successful small business. This makes me more motivated. I love your products - i wish i could buy them but my mom doesn't let me - I love the way you explained it. Please do continue with your small business because we all love you and your business and we really hope that you never close it. EDIT: why am i so late to this vid
I've been following you for a while, and I just enjoyed having your cozy vlogs on while I do my own thing -- I never realized you had a stationary shop , idk how I missed it!! But just as I started to dream of making my own stationary shop, I noticed this video on your channel 🥺 ty to you and your channel, you've been helping me dream 🥰
I'd love to see another video like this but focused on the financial side of a business, tips for tracking expenses and how to navigate taxes on income?
This is such a good and resourceful video! Thank you for making this for all of us small business owners! The way you have broken all of this down is truly helpful ❤
ive been wanting to start a small business for a long time and just been un motivated to start mainly because im just confused on the whole process and scared to, this video helped out alot thankyou :)

I appreciate so much your videos, it encourages me and pushes me to continue with my business idea and im so grateful for it! Thank you for your content! ❤
Thank you so much!! I’ve been really nervous about making an online store front for my business because I was scared that it wasn’t going to look right or be good enough and honestly this video really helped me!! My own nervousness has honestly demotivated me but I feel a little more confident after this video. 🌸💕
ive had my own business for 10 years and its super hard if you aren't well known from the jump. having followers and fans prior to opening really helps!
Everyone should know that starting a business is hard and needs a lot of time but when your brand gets to the stage where you have clients it gets easier.

Thank you so so much for this video!! It was both full of information and motivational✨ I felt like i'm in front of you and talking to you when you answered all these questions. Though communication is something I have to work on, I think I just gotta get started. You really gave me the energy to start making an action💓
This has been such a joy to watch. This is one of the best and easy video to watch and understand. Thank you so much for sharing. I have been sitting on building a business for around 2-3 years. You’re right about starting. My issue was starting. I started creating a Fear list, listing out all the reasons why I don’t want to start or my fears of starting so I can acknowledge, accept, and working through them. I have also changed my “business name” so many times. Hahaha! Right not it’s Adorkable Studio. Will it change later on? Who knows! Haha! Again, thank you for the information in this video! ❤
Right, so why now? Now, because I’ve been in this endless cycle of unhappiness with being at a job that does not fulfill me. I have never been able to stay at a job for more than 3 years. No, that is not something to be proud of, it is a sign. A trend. A pattern. I’m ready to break that cycle. Ready to end that pattern. Right now, in my mind, the only solution I can think of is starting my own business. Will it work? I have no idea. But I won’t even know till I try right? So, 2024 will be that year. Wish me luck!!! I need Universe on my side. (Please, Universe?) P.S this is going into my journal entry for today. Haha!
I ain't starting a business but this is still very helpful! Thank you for helping us out!❤ and don't stress out too much and take Care of yourself😀

That‘s really helpful video and encouraged me a lot😭 I've been so struggling about how to open a small business and just want to give up... but I feel confident now after watched this video! Let's do it together!
So happy I found this video, just started my little sticker shop and just got so overwhelmed with all the other amazing artists on the site. Hoping one day to grow to an independent site but one step at a time. Thank you so much for this video again made my day 10x better ❤😊
Tysm, you are like a big sister i never got, i have always wanted to startmy Buisness but i myself and thinking abt all the negative comments i will get from my family for starting a Buisness so young i kept dely0aying my thoughts for 2 yrs finally i had courage to ask my mom this summer...and she said YESSSS!! And she will support me in any way possible since she is a Buisness owner her self! And i was not sure what to start mybuisness abt. My mom said i could start with bracelets since i have many supplies for thousands in my currency. But i was not sure but seeing that another business owner has done it im trying it out too❤❤ 🎉🎉 so anyone who is scared of their family or failure dont worry 😊 you are going to BlAST THIS OFF 😅😅 . Good luck to others and me who want to start!L ❤❤
This video is going to blow up I can feel it, she is so motivating and the videos are always so cute!💖💖💖

This was the right video for me to see right now. I am starting my own shop in Q1 of 2024.
This video was so helpful! I've tried to start a digital products brand recently and I get so overwhelmed that I don't get anything done. I definitely want to switch from selling on Etsy to selling on my own website.
take it one step at a time and make a plan if you can ☺️🩷
The Big question is, how to find the perfect brand name. And getting the correct information, all the info is always better than not having not enough.
Hi I’m actually starting a small business and I came across your channel. And this is the first channel I could actually listen to without being stress.confused, or procrastinating. I hope to see more videos like this! Thank you. (Ps ima drop my channel for my business in a couple weeks)
our queen has posted!
this is one of my many ideas, like starting a small business for myself because of my idea-filled brain and I am sure I will start because of your advice. This is by the way my first visit to your channel and I feel as if it was fate
I am so happy that you made a video about some tips and tuts abt starting a successful small business. This makes me more motivated. I love your products - i wish i could buy them but my mom doesn't let me - I love the way you explained it. Please do continue with your small business because we all love you and your business and we really hope that you never close it.
EDIT: why am i so late to this vid
I've been following you for a while, and I just enjoyed having your cozy vlogs on while I do my own thing -- I never realized you had a stationary shop , idk how I missed it!! But just as I started to dream of making my own stationary shop, I noticed this video on your channel 🥺 ty to you and your channel, you've been helping me dream 🥰
I'd love to see another video like this but focused on the financial side of a business, tips for tracking expenses and how to navigate taxes on income?
This is such a good and resourceful video! Thank you for making this for all of us small business owners! The way you have broken all of this down is truly helpful ❤

Thank you so much!! I’ve been really nervous about making an online store front for my business because I was scared that it wasn’t going to look right or be good enough and honestly this video really helped me!! My own nervousness has honestly demotivated me but I feel a little more confident after this video. 🌸💕
I make handmade crystal and beaded jewellery -anklets,bracelets,necklaces,earrings 🤞🏾but I do want to add more products in the future.
Annika, really enjoying being apart of your channel :) and the advice is super helpful 💕
ive had my own business for 10 years and its super hard if you aren't well known from the jump. having followers and fans prior to opening really helps!
