I have so many videos coming for December. I will also answer any questions you have about my agency in another video because I realized I actually didn't talk about what I do specifically haha
Are you actually, working from home or are you actually working on site?
Also please give me the tech specs and the software that you are using because I am very interested in technology!! Also, I am looking to apply to NC State to pursue a degree in either Computer Science or IT.
I LOVE YOU .
I always say this but I love videos like this, it’s so cool to see someone my age with their own business
Thank you!
Hey Natalie,
I was wondering if you would be open to doing a video on brand deals/sponsorships. There are a tons of videos on 'How to Start a YT Channel' & 'How much money I make on YT' but neither (at least of the ones I've seen from many influencers) really touch on that aspect. SERIOUSLY NOT trying to plug myself, but as a new TH-camr, that part kind of scares me and is very intimidating. I plan on joining your patron after Christmas when I have a little extra cash but thought I'd at least ask :). I totally understand that most brands have influencers sign NDAs and you probably don't want to touch on the money side of that or feel comfortable doing so but maybe a video discussing how to get brand deals, tips on how to distinguish between legit brands and scam brands, negotiating rates, management companies, etc. IF this isn't something you feel comfortable sharing, maybe you have some awesome resources you could share? No pressure, love your videos by the way!!
Yes I love this idea!!!
This comes at such a good, informative time for me and my curiosities, Natalie. Your transparency and willingness to inform is so encouraging!!! ♥️ Thank youuu
Aw THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's really comforting seeing this,someone doing all of this...showing me that I can do it too,so encouraging💫
glad you enjoyed it!
I honestly love seeing the behind the scenes of your work! It really motivates me to keep working hard and focus on my own goals 💕 You're amazing!!!
you got this!! play this in the background while you work haha
Please more informational inspiring videos like this mixed with the casual vlog. That's one of the main thing I love your channel so much. Cause we got to see the business and more personal casual sides of you and that's really inspiring to me..
Yes I love jobs where I feel like I can have more freedom like choosing my work hours, days off etc. as long as I get the work done.
Seriously appreciate this video! Not only is it great to see what you look for in your employees/company culture, but it also gives me more of an idea of what I want to look for in a future employer. More videos like this one would be awesome!
I honestly am amazed by how much you are juggling and the grind is REAAAAL!! Super super motivational
Aw thank you!
Watching this video again! It's so crazy to see how much has changed from when this was posted in November to now in January! This video is a GEM! Thank you so much!
Love seeing the behind the scenes of your business! Definitely show more!
Girl this was amazing! Your videos lately have been soooooo good and so helpful! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Love seeing how you create your own business. This is inspiring!
I personally really loved this style of video! Even if it was just you talking in front of your computer. I love seeing behind the scenes and how your days go and how you manage everything together so well. It really is inspiring! 🥰
i love hearing about your business! it is so cool!
Aw thanks! More to come
Natalie is so freaking inspiring!! I was going through my mid-day slump at work and then watched this video and now I’m so motivated! love her 💕
Thank you, Natalie. This was very interesting. I also spend most of my day in front of the computer either talking to people or doing the work. I think it is very common for any entrepreneur who is running an online business. Can't wait to see big things you going to do. You are an inspiration. I think you were the first English speaking TH-cam I started watching and I am still here 2 years later! Thank you for all the advice and being a great example.
Aw thank you so much! That is so cool you’ve been watching me for that long
Yes! a vid on how you organize your life? Where you hire help for yourself, for what, how you found them, how many people on your team, what they help with etc :)
I love this 'young professional' content! I would love to hear more about your agency and how it works, what it was like to create it, what its like to run it
Such an interesting video, Natalie!!
I loved it!! Lots of love from Spain ♥️
Natalie, your content lately has been spot on!
I have no interest in starting my own business haha, but I still find these videos interesting because of your unique perspective and attitude!
I also like the variety on the channel and how every video is very curated and full of information :) Vlogs will always be my favorite but all your other content has been very inspiring and/or informational nonetheless. Keep up the good work!
Aw thank you! This feedback is really helpful. I really want to provide as much value as possible, even in vlogs. So I’m glad you have been enjoying them!
@@NatalieBarbu Glad to hear that! You've definitely been doing a great job both with the vlogs and the more informational videos 😘
I loved this video! Really insightful and cool to see ✨ please do more of these!
Natalie: "People like to talk about themselves "
Me: I'll go hide in the corner and go unnoticed. Plse. ...
Sigh my life as an introvert.
loved the video. Please make another about your agency.
SO inspiring. manifesting so much of this right now. thank you for being so real and honest about it all
yes MANIFEST IT.
@@NatalieBarbu you know it!!!
I loved it! Going full time with my business in January so watching this is super inspiring and didactic :) also, I need all your reading list!!
I loved the editing for this🤩
Aw thank you!!!
About mentoring - someone recommended to me something called SCORE I believe. It's a mentorship thing that's free and it's just you pick your mentor then you mentor someone else after you get mentored!
I am literally OBSESSED with your videos and how transparent and open you are girl! It's soo inspiring to see the behind the scenes of running your own business! 🙌🏻💞
This is so inspiring as someone who also has goals of starting their own business. Im learning so much from you!!!
aw thank you
I love these videos about business Natalie! Hugs from Brazil
Oh my goodness love love LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! Your company culture is so beautiful and so inspiring!
absolutely want a video about what your agency does (was looking at the PR aspects specifically 👀). love these informational videos - I watch them from beginning to end! great work! 🤍
I agree with this! I'm self-employed in the social media / PR space so it is so so interesting to me.
I love that you're focusing so much on establishing a good company culture, so refreshing to see!
I just have been reading so much on it and think it’s so important
You are so inspiring Natalie!
Yesss, as a fellow small business owner this is SO INTERESTING and HELPFUL!!
Aw thanks!!
What kind of small business do you own I’m curious to know because as like minded individuals maybe we can bounce off lucrative tips and ideas regarding growth

Thanks for making this video! I am 15, and I have been wanting my own small business ever since i was little and it is finally getting started! I just started my website, and hearing other Business owners stories, and daily activities really helps me!
Amazing!!! Congrats on starting!
Love learning more about the other aspects of what youtubers do! Super interested to see your new revamp 😍🌟
i love watching your behind the scenes vlogs!!! i find it so fascinating even tho i’m not a small biz owner it’s still cool to see what exactly you do for it!
i absolutely LOVED this video!! as a fellow small business owner it's so cool to see into other peoples routines and figure out things I can add into my own routine to help run my businesses!! love this - also 100% agree with what you said about podcasts, i've made friends with so many of my guests including you - after chatting for 45 mins you feel like you know the person so well!
Hey Amanda I’m glad this video sparked inspiration and techniques you can apply to your current business, speaking of which mind if I ask what kind of business do you operate ?
I agree with your podcasting comment! Thats why I started one this summer! Love this

Podcast question: Do you normally send the person you will be interviewing your questions ahead of time? Thanks :)
Loved this video!!! So motivating and inspiring, can’t wait to see the growth of Natalie’s company.

I realllly want to hear that podcast! I am bad at keeping my attention on a podcast because there’s no video (I know I’m terrible lol) but with your podcasts Natalie, I am just so intrigued!! Love them! And this video!!
Thank you so much for posting this Natalie!!! I’m currently in the process of creating my Squarespace site (thank you 😉) for my digital marketing agency that I am launching soon. Thank you for always being so open about your experience, finances, and the industry.
yay! if you have any other questions and want me to answer them, ask me so i can address them in upcoming videos!
@@NatalieBarbu I’m interested in your take on how you approach clients you want to work with and how to pitch your services to them
I loved this content! This was such a great in sight on the entrepreneur world. And the entrepreneurial journal you have is actually such a good idea!
Congrats on your own Agency! That’s awesome and I bet extremely time consuming!
this video was so inspiring! i always have so many ideas and only now am i realizing a lot of it could be rolled into a business/brand. your videos give me so much motivation
Yes you should look into it!
So many great tips!! I am a small business order doing my social media management and I LOVEEEE watching others biz videos can’t wait for the episode to come out
I love watching small business owner vlogs hahah
Hey faith what does your small business specialize in ? I love hearing entrepreneurial success stories
PLEASE do more!!! Especially about the agency!
Got wayyy too excited when I saw this video on your story 🤩
yay!!!
Always so helpful Natalie! 💖
Please do more this kind of videos! 😭 love love love! 💜
your business tips always inspire me 👏🏻
Your videos really inspire me and i am amazed about how much you know about running a business...
i dont know that much, im still learning a LOT.
Can't wait to watch!!!
Yes definitely want a technical video with details!! 🥳 I am curious how you go about having a team that work for you like what do you do for taxes and how you go about paying them like is it an easy process or kinda hard to set up?
I have an accountant and my team are contractors
loved this video! would love to learn more about what you do for your agency!
love this type of vidéo !!
love this! so inspiring!
LOVE this video! and videos like this in general!!
woo! i like making them :)
I really enjoyed this video!
this video just inspired me to join your Patreon :) seeing your passion and how much work you put into balancing, YT, Barbu Agency, and your podcast was so motivating!
Loved this video! and would love to see more xoxo
I love your lightning bolt earrings - where did you get them? Thank you for all of the inspiration!
Thanks for this, Natalie! Im curious to know how and what tools you use to manage your team remotely. And what rewards do you give to motivate them. Was that really just a google calendar? Thanks
Hi Natalie. 😍
So confident. Impressive.
If you belong to india then I definitely take consultancy services for our business.
Keep it up
You should watch Dr Dray on youtube. She is a dermatologist and has great advice on skin. I was watching a previous vlog of you using St Ives exfoliate on your skin which dermatologist advice against doing
if i was starting a business this would be helpful
Do you have a video on the tax write offs you take, being a TH-cam? Like, can you claim the coffee you drink in your video..? A break down of that. Thanks!
I don’t think I can claim the coffee I’m drinking in my video but if I go to a coffee shop and work there or work with a client then it’s a write off
Can you do a TH-cam vid on how you negotiated your nyc rent?
I find this so inspirational to see the real daily life instead of glorified oh look at me and my business 😂🥰
How you organize your life please!
Boss babe!! 💕
Do you feel like you use your degree? Do you wish you would’ve majored in business? Do you learn mostly from online resources or do your parents have a business and help guide and give you advice? Just random questions as a business student :)
I feel like my degree made me a critical thinker and a well rounded person. I don’t think a business major would have made too much of a difference because by starting a business you kinda get your degree from that lol and with youtube I feel like it’s similar to getting a marketing degree. I don’t regret my major even though I don’t use specific things I learned on the daily
I just started my own online boutique & I know you opened one in the past!! You mentioned hiring a social media manager, how did you go about doing that? I'm looking to hire help in general, even if it is an intern at first. I am just scared because I like things to go a certain way... Lol how are you giving her your resources or how are you training her?
Hey Addie hope all is well I noticed you posted this comment in regards to business motivation / growth about a year ago and wanted to know how is everything going with your business so far In 2022 ? Did you apply any of these amazing techniques at all ?
What agency are you running
I would love to hear about your business
What materials or resources you refer to to run your agency?
your peng 😍
Great share, my friend. I also want to work full time on TH-cam too....
Okay where do I put in my application for your agency lol
Oh wow I was kinda kidding because of school but now I’m really thinking about it since you addressed it at the end of the video
I create TH-cam accounts just to see what people post w/out having to subscribe to anyone
Are you actually, working from home, or are you actually working on-site?
Working from home! I don’t know what on site would be lol
@@NatalieBarbu Yeah, like IDK because of COVID like... things are starting to shut down. This is why I am so sad that I can't make friends in college. I mean lucky for you that you have friends and a boyfriend from college. :)
👏💥
Netflix company culture is very bad I've heard from many friends :(
I love these videos Natalie! No fluff, super transparent. It’s so great seeing you thrive! Super excited and happy for your future :) love the way your content is going!
Thank you so much!! I have been much happier with it too
Love this video!💕
