    Hi, friends! Lately, my business has been slow. After my initial panic attack, I calmed myself down and decided to use this time to build a stronger foundation for my online clothing brand. I’m going to be a student again and educate myself on how to run a business and keep up with the algorithm. To make it fun, I’ll treat it as a 100 days challenge. In this video, you will see what I did during Week #1.
    Join me as I document the ups and downs of running my small business from home. I hope you find the courage to love yourself and pursue your passion through these vlogs.
    Hope y’all have a great day!
    Love,
    Kayla

    As someone who really wants to start their own small business. You are an inspiration for all the little guys like me. You started just like someone like myself and now you're here! You became someone that the you that was still selling things for Amazon would be so proud of. You are an incredibly hard worker and an amazing person. You've got this. You make me excited to eventually start my own small business someday. I think you are an incredible, persistent, and wonderful person. YOU CAN DO THIS!

    I followed Flag Nor Fail, a company that started in Rob’s garage 10 years ago, screen printing on shirts from Walmart. Now, they have a beautiful headquarters in Montana. Their clothes are cut and sew.

    When you have thoughts of failure its always best to look back at the days you just started, or even bofere you started and where you are now. Because i think youre doing an incredible job! The fact that your mom is also helping out means she sees you potential. It might go slower then you wished at first, but being to focussed on that can make you unsee how far you have already come and how many people are there in support for your art! Keep it up because I love what youre doing and watching in ahw that youre actually doing this! Your vision is there and glowing!

I hope you start feeling better and just know that the consistency and commitment you have with your business is what's gon a keep you scalling it and making more income. There some days where you will sell less than expected but that's normal. Enjoy the process and try different approaches or ides when marketing your business. I know brighter days will come because I see how hard you work and how disciplined you are. Keep the good work and may you be healthy! Also having your mom and dog as companions in this process is amazing. Both of them love you tons

I some days already feel mega burnt out with my mom life and homeschooling and caring for the home. But i still have this drive to start a small business! Some days it isn't always rainbows and sunshine whether its with normal life, or business ! Again sending you some love and positivity ❤️🙏

    I think that you have a wonderful business going for yourself. Don't be afraid to take that risk in hiring just maybe even part-time help a couple times a week to help aid in small tasks like folding, packing, filling orders, etc. This gives you a better opportunity to focus on your creativity and ensure that your business runs the way that you want. Keep up the beautiful work.

    You're doing so amazing, keep it up, you got this!
    I recently started a business, and it's been extremely hard. I've been tempted time and again to give up, but one day I came across one of your videos and you really inspired me to keep going despite the obstacles. Business is still slow on my end, but I'm doing the best I can. One thing that a lot of people have told me is that it does take some time before things start to really pick up, but hang in there, it'll all be worth it :)
    I can't wait to be able to buy stuff from you and support you! I just need to make some more sales and save up before I can do that lol but it's definitely on my to do list! I'm a full color and graphic fan, so I plan to get both!
    Keep on being amazing and an inspiration to everyone. You're doing great!

    I just found your channel and I want you to know that I see the amount of work and dedication you have put into your business and it's truly inspiring. As someone who has played around with a few of the things you are doing as hobbies, the time commitment alone to produce what you have using the equipment you are using is massive. As you continue to grow and build your business, there's no limit to what you can do!

  • @Redfrog_studio

    Thank you for your open thoughts and courage. I sincerely wish you success. Honestly, you inspired me to start my embroidery business in a small town in Russia. Despite the economic and emotional situation. On the contrary, I want to curse everything and especially those in power, but we must somehow survive. I'm a single mother. In my position, it is difficult to find a suitable job and I have to do my own business! Thank you again for your honest videos about work .
    I didn't understand the scheme of deception with dropshippers and payment reviews from "customers" a little... Tell us in more detail, please..

    Do you also do booths and local selling of your products? Never underestimate what your surrounding customer base could be! Especially if you live in the larger portland or seattle area in the PNW. Pop up shops or a small 5x5 booth for craft fairs may help fill in those low gaps when you aren't handling order fulfillment. I hope things continue to go well and people keep engagement!

  • @CutePuppy520
    @CutePuppy520 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’m from Asia, which means technically I couldn’t buy any of your stuffs since the shipping would be expensive
    But, even if I were someone living in the states, I would probably just buy only 1 of your tote bags, despite your prints and embroideries are cute
    The main reason for that is because I find it hard to incorporate your items into cute outfit ensemble which are insta worthy, and for some of the items I don’t even know how they would look like when they are worn
    I would like to take the time to give you a few word of advice
    1. Take more photos of ppl actually wearing your items
    I saw this black t shirt with a cute print of a girl with a bunch of floating candies, the print is cute, I would actually consider buying it if it’s in the form of a tote bag.
    But, since the print is on a t shirt, I would want to know how the t shirt look like when it’s worn
    Some cute prints are not suitable to be made into t shirts, probably because the print may be too big/spread out/too small..etc?
    The beanie that you’re selling, I believe customers would like to see how the Bennie looks like when it’s worn, coz some beanie aren’t flattering when worn due to the way they frame the face
    2. Start thinking from the customers’ point of view, especially on how can they incorporate your items/clothing into their daily lives and still be able to produce insta worthy OOTDs
    For example, I may think an oversized hoodie with a cute embroidery looks kinda comfy+cute for lounging around at home, but, I don’t know how to mix+match them and create an insta worthy outfit as an adult...it’s obvious I can’t wear them to work, but, the question is, can I manage to style it until it’s cute enough so that I may wear it when I’m hanging out with friends?
    this process would involve you having a basic understanding of your subscribers on various platforms, maybe a lot of them are over the age of 25, so wearing hoodies with cute prints+regular joggers/yoga pants to college everyday is no longer part of their lifestyle
    For example, you could start a range of fitted t shirts/crop top and have a cute small embroidery on the upper left side/right side of the t shirt? Coz this might be a lot more wearable for an adult since we can wear it with denim pants/skirts and still look cute enough to hang out with friends.
    There’s this navy hoodie with pink wordings at the back, and I remember you mentioned that this hoodie is the best seller, which I am not surprised since the color and prints of the hoodie made it easy to be styled
    since the hoodie is in navy/blue, I could pair it with a lighter colored denim pants+a pair of pink sneakers, this would keep the entire look kinda cohesive since the top+bottom are both blue in color, and the pink sneakers would match well with the pink wordings
    Practice this for all the products that you are launching, think how they could be used to create an insta worthy OOTDs
    3. Launch more products that customers could mix+match with the t shirts/hoodies that you’re currently selling, also, maybe launch a few mugs/thermos/cosmetic pouch/planner...etc even though now you don’t have the labour+money to do because you could actually outsourced some of the productions. Do this mainly for the sake of bringing in traffic and create a better customer experience
    I have a pair of really cute denim shorts, with tiny embroidered cartoon characters on one side of the pocket which I believe goes well with the aesthetic of your products
    Also, maybe something like plaid skirts/pleated skirts would go well with your tees/hoodies, you could also incorporate a cute small embroidery on one side of the plaid skirt?
    I can see you understand Chinese, and your designs are on the cutesy side, as such take the time to go on to Taobao/xiaohongshu/Korean or Japanese sites, because Asians always do better than westerners when it comes to looking cute.
    I don’t know why, but when I look at the embroidered hoodie, it reminds me of this brand called teenie weenie on Taobao, they have sweaters/shirts/plaid skirts with cute small embroidery, often in the form of a cute bear
    Because you’ve stated that the time line for production is 3 weeks, that means you have plenty of time to buy the plain denim/plaid skirt from amazon, then get them embroidered at some other outsourced t shirt printing company like printful/printify...
    if the cost of buying the denim/plaid skirt+outsourcing the embroidery to another party is too high, then maybe launch only a small amount (eg:30/50 pieces of denim shorts?) and do it yourself
    This is done not so much for the sake of getting a profit, it’s about creating more hype around your brand coz now customers can have the opportunity to buy matching tops+bottoms in your store
    as long as you’re not making losses on the denim/plaid skirts, this would enable customers to have an entire cute outfit just from your store, and they would be more willing to post+tag your shop on their social media which will then bring in more customers
    8 years ago, I went to the states, my phone case was a super cheap one from the local store here, i bought it because it was the cheapest one in the local store, I refused to spend any extra money on casing because I was planning to get a brand new iPhone when I am in the states.
    It’s just a plain black casing, with a plain black tiny bear figurine perching on the top part of the case, in short, the phone case is nothing to be awed over in a place like Asia because we’re literally swarmed with cute phone casing at cheap prices
    But, little did I know, a lot of ppl (Caucasians) commented on my phone casing, especially cashiers at stores when I was making payments. Since I had to stand quite close to them at the cashier, they got the chance to have a closer look at my phone case...
    There were probably around 5 cashiers who asked where did I get that phone case that no one in Asia would care about.
    So yeah, I believe as an asian, you have a slight edge when it comes to cutesy stuffs
    You could also sell cute earrings coz I believe they would match well with the aesthetic of the items that you are selling
    Also, for a lot of adults, they aren’t into cutesy clothing items, but, they are into cutesy mug/thermos/pouch...etc, consider having a few non-clothing products, just outsource the production to some other supplier like printful/printify. Again, this is not so much about making profit, but it’s more about creating traffic and to attract a wider customer base to your store, just make sure you don’t make any losses on the mugs/thermos
    4.) level up your social media posts with OOTD photos of outfits incorporating your products
    I have not seen any of your insta posts, but I doubt they would showcase a lot of OOTDs
    Please do that, I buy quite a lot of outfits on Instagram (it’s a thing at where I live) and every sellers that I ever bought from posts OOTD of the outfits that they’re selling
    No matter how good+nice a single piece of top/bottom is in the photo, without an OOTD, most likely I would not buy it
    Yes I know, a lot of ppl aren’t comfortable in showing their faces online all the time, and it’s too expensive to hire a model to do it...
    But I believe sometimes certain things like this is a must, especially at where I come from, Asia, where we’re being drowned in a market whereby fairly cheap+fashionable clothing are easily available
    I was once into Japanese style clothing because of the elegant but still sweet+feminine style, and Japan branded clothing aren’t that cheap to begin with, I used to buy it from this re-seller who hosts live shows. She hosts live show only once a week, but, for every single one of her live shows, she has only about 30-50 viewers, but, her monthly revenue may reach over 150k, how much she’s bringing in every month is easily calculated coz she hosts lucky draw every single month, for every 500 dollars spent, you get 1 ticket for lucky draw. Even if her net profit margin is 10% which means she only manages to keep about 15k a month for profit, that’s not such a bad deal at where I live, but in reality I know she earns a lot more since I could easily compare the prices between her store+the price on Japanese websites... however, a lot of us still buys from her coz she regularly sells products that is out of stock (ie: she doesn’t sell the stuffs she sourced from japan immediately after receiving them, instead she waits for a while until the Japanese sites ran out of stocks and customers had no choice but to buy from her)
    So yeah, I believe in knowing what your customers are looking for is one of the most important key to success
    That’s all, I believe your store has potential, don’t give up just yet...leverage on what you know and the existing skills that you have, but still continue to improve on the aspects you believe that you’re currently lacking

    Dont give up as life is full of ups and downs and the downs make you stronger and more adamant to succeed, you have an amazing business it will grow and grow, you have invested so much and that investment will reward you, everyone is feeling the pinch with the cost of living expenses around the world and so you may have some days worse than others but always look on the bright side it will get better, sending lots of love from the UK xx

    Hey love, hope your doing well. I have been very interest in starting my own small business for a while now. Today was my first time watching you and may I say you have done such an amazing job an have inspired me to start making and personallizing my own sweatsuit outfits but I honeslty dont even know where to begin. I was wonder in your next vlog if you could talk about how you got started, how to find artist, and in general how to start from the beginning.

    Hey! Love the studio flogs ! Have you ever thought about renting out a storage space to use as your office/work area so you can separate work and home ? People use storage spaces as gyms so you can find one with a window or door? Also you can rent one for around 100 bucks a month so it’s not that expensive❤

    Don't give up. You're on the brink of big success. It's always a big dip before a huge rise. The only time quitting is an option is when the passion is gone. Then it's time to sell the business. I have an idea for the brand that would work with those designs. I'm not leaving it here in public. Hit me up if you're in the states. No, I'm not selling anything. Just a business owner that loves to do what almost all successful business owners have a passion to do....help other entrepreneurs.

    Have you tried to reachout to your heat press maker to see if they could fix or reimburse you for a faulty machine? Your new production upgrades look great for improvement. Maybe you can look into hiring someone else to help ease some stress on you and your mom.

    How do you make the designs originally though? before you digitize them and embroidery them? Do you just use Adobe Illustrator? Or do you hire an artist? because some of those designs if self illustrating them must take hours

    Hey, I love what youre doing. Keep Doing it! Its my dream to also make my own clothing brand and sell it.
    You are based in US right? Do you mostly get orders from US or also other countries? I was wondering if I should go international with the language or stay in my Country (german) and speak my native language because shipping cost would be, I think, to high for people to buy it from the US for example.

    I recommend you learn how to run Facebook ads and really market your business to get your conversions up. Just by simply posting isn’t going to get you new customers. You really have to take advantage of ads. Also, I recommend you offer your services for custom apparel to other businesses or customers. That way you have no downtime with your equipment. Just my two cents if you want to keep growing.
