Starting my Own Business
In January of 2017 at 14 years old, I started my own business.
The slime fad was taking off on instagram, and I thought that it would be fun to start my own account, little did I know that my own account would blow up!
While running this account with my best friend, we unknowingly, experiences several valuable skills:
- Website Building: Using Wix, Square Space, and Shopify
- Social media marketing: We had over 150,000 followers at our peak
- Content Creation: As content creators we produced captivating videos and pictures
- Analytics and Insights: Tracking and analyzing data became second nature to us as we sought to understand our audience's preferences and behavior.
- Community Management: Building a thriving online community was a cornerstone of our success. We actively engaged with our followers, responded to their inquiries and feedback, and fostered meaningful connections that built loyalty within our brand
- Financial Management: As entrepreneurs, we managed our finances diligently to ensure profitability and sustainable growth.
- Sales Strategies: We implemented various sales strategies to attract customers and encourage purchases. This involved creating compelling product descriptions, designing promotions and discounts, and optimizing our website for conversions to maximize sales opportunities.
While we closed shop and stopped posting, our follower count remains high and we still receive thousands of likes and views on our videos.
