I recently had my first pop up and I was soooo nervous but when I tell you your videos helped me a lot THEY DID! I literally binged your vids days before. You gave me so many ideas!
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 RUclips 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.
@monicarazak Thank you so much!!! I've been doing them since 2012, and I havent gotten tired yet! My husband and I had a storefront for two and a half years, and nothing compares to getting out in the public and sharing your story with the world! Keep up the great work!
I make scrunchies from fabric scraps going to waste. Yours look beautiful! And I’m loving your pop up ideas. I’m gonna try few pop ups and I’m definitely learning slowly!
I’ve recently stumbled upon your channel and have non-stopped watched to see where you are at now - Bryan Park! You inspired me to take my business seriously even with a month left this year.
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.
I've been binge watching your channel while I make my ceramic jewelry. 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🙂
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.
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.
Hi! New subscriber here! I find your work and art so inspiring. I am starting out my small art business, creating art and stock before I get really serious about selling it. I just find it very motivating to find other artists like you sharing your craft with the world. Thanks so much and keep it up 🥰💕 P.s~ please bring back your green scrunchies😊💚
Hello! I absolutely love your bags! Can you tell me what type of batting you use? I've been looking for similar ones but can't find any that looks the same. Thank you!
I would love to know how long it typically takes you to edit a video?! I have been trying to do more with RUclips 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!
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:)
Would love the link for your custom fabric tags (I can’t find it in the description). I’m keen to get some made to add to my handmade gifts. Love the video!
Hi Monica! New follower here :) Do I need an insurance to start a candle business? I don't have a big budget so I wanted to check before I actually start. Thank youu :))
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..
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!
Hi, just love ur videos. I just wanted to ask that how u manage ur job and a small business owner. Because I am working and handling my small business but it is hectic. Some tips would be helpful.
I've been getting this question a lot! I'll make a video on it soon:) but basically, it's a combination of time management, avoiding energy-draining tasks, & focus. I'll elaborate in a video!
I wouldn't ask if you hadn't mentioned that you don't ever mind sharing stuff, but I've been watching a ton of videos but haven't heard you tell us the dimensions of your bags.
I recently had my first pop up and I was soooo nervous but when I tell you your videos helped me a lot THEY DID! I literally binged your vids days before. You gave me so many ideas!

i just found your channel, and i am LOVING it! Where do you usually shop for your fabrics & what kind of batting do you use?
Love your channel watching it
I need one of those mini pouches!
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.
Lovely video. Thank you for sharing your journey. If I could ask where you got the tape dispenser and order the tape from ?
About the 9:20 mark you said you found the pen at Wawak. I do not know why, but I heard Wawa and I am hungry now!
LOL it does sound like I said Wawa
Just joined your channel! Fellow small business girly here and I'm from NJ too😊

@@monicarazak thank you for answering! Yeah it definitely takes me longer rn. I hope to get faster at it.
3:38: The pattern is lovely. Would you consider making it in a landscape shape?
Would love the link for your custom fabric tags (I can’t find it in the description). I’m keen to get some made to add to my handmade gifts. Love the video!
whoops forgot to include the link! Added it:) rstyle.me/+YsA1uK-gD0D510MxE5RejQ
@@monicarazak Thank you!
Have you thought about adding a small strap to your pouches? Something to grip when zipping and unzipping the pouch?
You should do longer content (when possible)! 🧐🤌
Where so you get the thicker batting
I am surprised you don’t have an embroidery machine 😊
My brother sewing machine has an embroidery feature and attachment! I don't really use it as often as I want to though:(
Keep you AC on 😮
Hi Monica! New follower here :) Do I need an insurance to start a candle business? I don't have a big budget so I wanted to check before I actually start. Thank youu :))
Where do you get your zippers for your pouches?
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..

Holaaaaaa, podrás poner subtitulos en español, desde ya muchas gracias 😊
Which channel u have seen in this video please mention name of her channel..I lost her name or can't find too long😢
How do the earrings work for sensitive ears ? My ears hurt if I wear anything that’s not 14k gold. And as a mom of 4, I don’t have 14k gold money 😂
I wouldn't ask if you hadn't mentioned that you don't ever mind sharing stuff, but I've been watching a ton of videos but haven't heard you tell us the dimensions of your bags.
Hi! which bags? If it's one of my products I sell on my shop, the dimensions are listed in each of the product listings on my online store:)
Watched this whole vlog while prepping for pop-ups I have coming up.. can't wait to see how this market went for you !
