- First RUclips video!!!! Welcome to my channel! I'm Emily the owner of Emily Paige Company ☺
In this week’s video, for the first time EVER I’m taking you along with me for a week in my life as a 24 year old full time small business owner. You’ll get to see behind the scenes of everything I did this week. This was a very busy week at the warehouse filled with running my embroidery machines, packing orders, prepping wholesale orders, purchasing a new MacBook Pro, seeing my new checkout stand for markets, prepping for my next market & so much more (basically everything behind the scenes)!

I hope you'll hang around on my channel to get to know me more & see more behind the scenes of markets and my life! Next video will be a day in my life/ vlog style video during my next pop up market (it’ll be a busy one). Hope to see you at the next video!
I wish I could give every single one of you a hug for being here on my channel so a virtual hug will have to do! I joined youtube in March of 2023 posting shorts and for years now I've talked about making RUclips videos. I stepped completely outside of my comfort zone with filming and editing this style of video (long form content) but discovered I really enjoy doing both! I'm really excited to continue to make videos and to grow on this channel. As I'm posting this I currently have 429 amazing subscribers!
I launched EPC in the corner of my college bedroom in 2020 while being a full time college student. After I graduated, we decided to move to the city and I continued to grow my business full time in our tiny one bedroom apartment. In 2023, we officially moved into a 5,000 sq ft warehouse to continue to grow + expand! While EPC is primarily online we also vend at many pop up markets in Columbus, Ohio.
Here are a few fun facts about me ☺
✿ I graduated college in 2021 from Ohio University with a Bachelors in Community & Public Health.
✿ I'm a cat mom to 3- a calico named Ivy, a tortoise named Puff & another calico named opal
✿ I love reading mystery/thriller books & I'm a true crime junkie
✿ My favorite food is Macaroni and cheese

Love this!!! I came here to support girlie!!! And your checkout stand 😍😍😍
Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰 I can’t wait to finally use my checkout stand. It blows my mind that it use to be a dresser 🤣

How exciting!! What machine do you have/ are getting? 🥰
Great video- thanks for sharing! You really need some Mighty Hoops!! Get the hooping station and at least two hoops per machine. You will save so much time and energy! Best of luck, you are killing it!
Thank you Sandra! may or may not be collaborating with Mighty Hoops soon! 😉I can’t wait to try them out!!
Loved your first vlog! I just received my first multi-needle last week am super excited where it will take me. I’m so inspired by you. ❤
Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰 I love my machines they’re definitely hard to learn but so much better than single needles

@emilypaigecompany I literally JUST got my business name and filed for my sales tax so I'm 100%looking forward to it🥰🥰
That check out table is gorgeous
Thank you!! When I first saw it I didn’t think it was a dresser & instantly thought it would make a perfect checkout stand. I can’t wait to finally use it! 🥰
Wow happy to see you on YT. I have been following you on insta since beginning. I am a small business owner too and your post are such a motivation. More power to you 😊

Can you share where you order your glass cups from ?
Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰 I’m sorry i don’t share where I get my cups printed from but there are a ton of places that do it!
I enjoyed the glimpse into your successful business. Question: What is the thing you put on the sweatshirts as you set up placement? It looks like a small square. I’m just curious…😊
Just found your channel and I love it! Thanks for sharing with us!!
Welcome!! Thank you so much for watching :)
I’m starting mine this week doing a day in my life!
fun fun!
OMG!! Your boutique stuff is sooooo cute
Thank you!! Last year I had all the fun giftables & accessories but this year I wanted to add a little section of boutique style clothing! I love all of the bright + fun colors so fingers crossed customers love it too! 🥰
Great first video. Looking forward to more!
Thank you for watching!! 🥰 I’m excited to make more :)
I’m in Athens, Ohio ❤ Congratulations on the business growth!! 🎉🎉
I lived in Athens for 4 years when I went to OU!! 🥰 fun fact: i was a manager at the city pool for 2 years (i loved it so much)! Athens is such a beautiful town there’s no place like it. Thank you so much for watching ❤️
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!🥰💝
Great video! Where do you get your iron on labels??
I LOVE your cats! they are beautiful 😻
Thank you so much!!! I love my girlies they’re all so silly in their own way & definitely make life more fun 🥰
Hi! Love your contents! Thank for sharing all your hard work you put in as a small business owner! Can you please share or PM me which wholesalers you use for your floral dresses and tops! Also how to create barcodes, what you use to scan with and what type of credit card machine you use to use with your barcodes and how to know how much you have inventory you sold and what’s remaining. Thank you so much! I too would like to start a small clothing boutique. I live in a small town called Elk Grove, Ca. I truly appreciate your help and your advice! Maybe you can do a video on how to create barcodes and what scanner and credit cards machine you use! Thank You!!!!❤
This was a wonderful video and I look forward to seeing more from you. I have always been interested in embroidery machines. Is there a machine price point you would recommend for home use?
Thank you for watching!! 🥰 I recommend any single needle machine to keep your starting costs low. Embroidery is an expensive craft so it would even be great if you find a used machine!
Such a great vlog!
Thank you! 🥰
Sou brasileira e adoro te acompanhar. ❤🇧🇷
How cool!! Hi from the US 🥰 thank you for watching!!
Congrats on the new channel! 🎉 Tell me more about how the mystery books work? Are they new books or a book you had that you give away?
Thank you!! Welcome 🥰 they’re all used books in great condition that I wrap up & write on the front little things about them & the good reads rating. It’s a fun mystery! 📖
@@emilypaigecompany oh that’s a really great idea! Thanks for sharing!!
You did so good on long form. I mean I'm no expert but I just happened to find your channel and am hooked! You're inspiring me to start a channel for my new product based business. So scary. Keep going, I hope your blessings far exceed your wildest dreams 🌸
Thank you so much for watching! This is the sweetest comment ever :) I was nervous to film in long form because sometimes I feel like I just ramble but it ends up coming all together (and I'm an overthinker lol). Thank you so much for your sweet comments :)
@@emilypaigecompany You're very welcome 🌸
Could you do a video on how you started? How to do a LLC and use Shopify?
I’ll definitely share my small biz story on here & show how I use Shopify! As for an LLC, each state is different. I would definitely research what your state requirements are to obtain an LLC 😃
@@emilypaigecompany I also live in Ohio so I was just curious on how to start and go about it 😊
I’m in Columbus Ohio too 😊
I love that!!! You’ll have to visit at an event 🥰
Great video! I have so many questions, like how did you grow your business so fast and please explain how you price and make money off wholesale orders. I recently quit my job of 18 years and I have 2 machines. My husband gave me 1 year to figure this out or I'll have to go back to work and I don't want to do that!
Thank you so much! It took my going on 4 years to get where I'm at today. Social media has played a big role in my growth!
Love this video !!
Do you know if you need to oil single needle machines 😅?!
Thank you so much!!
Yes, but not as often. Oil the bobbin case about once a week :)
Be careful...my single needles cannot be oiled...only my juki! Not my Babylock or Janome!! 😊
@@carolannh48 yes!! Definitely depends on the machine. I went in to my local embroidery machine shop & asked for advice. A majority of them offer classes which is really nice!
What does your boyfriend sell for his business?
He’s an amazon seller (pretty much a third party seller)! 😁
So fun! Found you on Instagram, I'm close to Marietta/Athens.. congratulations on your business success 🎉
Thank you for watching! :) I love Athens!! I'm making a trip down there in a few weeks :)
New subscriber here and I really enjoyed the video I want an embroidery machine so bad but they look so intimidating 🫣🫣🫣
Thank you so much!! 🥰 I was the same way but I absolutely love embroidery. It’s hands down the hardest thing I’ve taught myself. I say purchase a single needle machine and try it out!
