    oh...I was so much like how you describe waking up early, grinding, trying to make social media posts, making inventory etc etc except I wasn't getting anywhere, not getting any views. It's taking a toll. But since starting a UA-cam channel, I feel hopeful. Im still trying to get my followers up so im trying to stay positive that I will finally meet the people like me and those that like my product and get visits on the website. Your videos always hits a chord with me and keeps me inspired and hopeful. thank you for that.

You are so inspiring and I love your honest content😍 I have a 3 day (all day) event coming up and feeling anxious about it, also because we have to travel to another island to get there. BTW, what is your other work? If you ever come to Maui, I would love to meet you🙂

    Have you considered doing makeup bag sets? Like a 3 pc set (small ,medium and large box pouches)? I think that might be a cute idea for your pouches. And you can do product shots of using them for makeup brushes and other products for travel or storage.

    Monica, I have ben watching your videos for a while now. I am just YOU. I work a 9-5 in a tech company, have. my small business and do pop ups! I know how tough it might be to balance everything lol - i never understand how do you have so much time to do everything haha. All the best on the pop-ups! Absolutely love your content. I have been thinking of starting a youtube channel and I cant even imagine adding another thing to the already crazy mix lol. Can you make a video on how do you plan out your weeks with your 9-5 and get everything done and post so many YT videos as well.

  • @jenniferbarlow4298

    Zipper tabs on both sides of the pouches would be cute. Maybe a pop of color. When you pull the corner to open and close, you would pull the zipper tab. Just a thought.

    I would love to know how long it typically takes you to edit a video?! I have been trying to do more with UA-cam while also juggling a full time job and I’m trying to gauge what the average time for people is. I’m not really a small business but your content still helps to keep me motivated!

    • @monicarazak

      I average between 2 hrs - 6 hrs per video depending on how elaborate it is! When I first started, it took soooooo much longer, but over time I've gotten quicker. Thanks so much for watching:)

    Hi Monica..
    When you're at corporate 9-5 work, do you think about you're small bizz? So you feel like need to go home ASAP to do all things releted to small bizz? you think of ,like, : oh i really need to finish that boxy pouch, i should make more srunchies,, i should edit the video.. etc etc..

    • @monicarazak
      @monicarazak  2 місяці тому

      Such a good question. I often think about my small biz 24/7 lol but when I'm doing other important things (corporate job, hanging out with friends, resting, etc) I force myself to try to focus solely on those things! I find that after I'm done taking a break from thinking about my small biz, I feel a refreshed sense of excitement to get working on it again!
