" My one true love, other than my fiancé, is my small business" No truer words said. 🤣 This needs to be a shirt now haha. I totally relate to that. And yes Jessica's TikTok lives made me do it! I am a similar niche as her and I have been shocked. I think the biggest thing with it, is to experiment with your business on how the live works best for you. You could try just showing the candles in the launch, letting people ask what they want to see and then jumping to that candle and talking about it. People like to be involved in the lives. or you can show your face and do a talking live one too. Also giving it a few shots is important. My first live I had like 20 people max. The next time I went live I ended up with 160. Also days and time can vary so finding what works well for your business helps too.
Maybe instead of green screen try white next time so the vessel pops, remove background should still work, or maybe try black if you want the contrast.
such great advice thanks so much!! I'll definitely try out a live sometime soon:)
Even for your bookish launch candles that smell like a cozy night in.
hey girl ive been watching you for a while now would you be able to make a vlog with just you making candles i really enjoy it hehe
When are we doing this meet and greet trip!? I AM SO FOR REAL I WANT TO JOIN!
I discovered your channel last week!!! I LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!! Thank you for inspiring me!!!
thanks so much!!!
So excited for this collection!!! For cricut stickers make sure you take the bleed off! this always helps with blurriness.
Also use your printer dialogue to use your printer settings directly to print.
I always enjoy your vlogs...can't wait to see your launch especially the nostalgic candles. I create bookmarks from repurposed /salvaged trees.
I’m obsessed with vlogs like this💖🙌🏼 can’t wait for your launch 🫶🏼
Would love a breakdown video of how you design and print your labels from illustrator to circuit. I'm looking to save costs through printing my own product labels. Thx for these transparent videos !
I'll add it to the list of videos to record this summer:)
Finally ordered the bow pouch and a scrunchie 🥰 can’t wait!
Thanks so much for your order!!:)
So inspiring x Thanks for the heads up on Milanote. İ design knitting patterns and it's great for planning themed collections.
Milanote is soooo helpful
Hello again! Thanks for the vid! I love watching to get my small biz mojo going haha
Also, that pattern toile is pronounced “twall” like hall haha
Created an account so fast 👌🏼 Definitely what I dream of for keeping track of all things small business!
so functional AND aesthetic! love Milanote
This is so good, I love your vlogs ☺☺
Yes do some lives please 😊🧚♂️🕯️would love to know more back stories on your products. I also know of some small product based biz owners who sell out of their products on live streams (YT Live, IG Live, Popshop Live, TikTok…) Anyhow, for products on white bg floating, I just use white backdrop and in Photoshop I isolate the bg and use the Camera Raw Filter under the Detail dropdown, increase the Noise Reduction and Color Noise Reduction both to 100% to make the bg so smooth alongside a bit of spot healing brush tool👌
I've seen shops on tik tok live simply packing orders. So you don't have to talk much. You could wait till you wanna do a sale or for a good gift day like Mothers day and just pack orders and try to pay attention to comments. You could ask people if they have any questions. I think it is a good way to get new people interested. It is good to break out of your comfort zone sometimes.
22:18 Libby Lu?? Can you pls do a Libby Lu candle!! Super girly & pink
I make book sleeves and bookmarks in my shop! Nectar Handmade
I already use this, its the best
Love your videos. I am also having the same printing issues through Cricut. My book marks were so smeared they looked horrible and the print was completely unreadable. I couldn’t even make out what the picture was supposed to be. If you find out the problem please share on your video. Thanks Monica! 😊
Croquettes are my favorite tapas food.
Not me saying "dont skip, dont skip." during a 3 and half minute ad then the second one was also long😭🤣
Ugh I wish I could control how long the ads are!!
Hi! Another great video, you're such an inspiration.
Question please. What's your view on the HTVRont Auto Press? Purchased one a few days ago due to the sliding draw.
Heated it up once within the past four days buyers remorse hit as soon as I removed it from the box weight, size & lack of space is an obstacle.
Considering returning & buying a 12 x 15 swing away instead, opinion please & thanks.
Have a great day.
I like it! It's definitely heavy and takes up a good amount of space, so I'm glad I have a dedicated table top space for it. I do notice that I'll need to pad up the bottom plate in order for the pressure to be strong enough for some materials. This is the only heat press I've had other than my cricut easy press so I've never had experience with a sturdy manual heat press!
I dunno if you figured it out, but I always print to pdf in Cricut so it saves the print and cut as a pdf, print it normal (not in Cricut) and then continue with the print and cut
Thank you so much!! This helps a lot
💚
I make wooden bookmarks!
omg I love this.
The"ghost" is gone. Lol
💜💙
Monica, where do you get your blank canvas totes? I can’t seem to find that info in the descriptions anywhere. I’m new to your account!
I get them from Tote Bag Factory online!
@@monicarazak thank you!! You are the sweetest. I’m enjoying learning from you.
Were you get your fabric
Hi!
I have a question for the community.
Does anyone know about a similar business as Makesy or Bramble Berry but in Europe?
Because the shipping fees to my country are crazy 😭 and I'm trying to find an alternative.

Love your content🤎 and loving your pouches, is the Green Gingham one coming back? I would love to grab one
