Everyone should know that starting a business is hard and needs a lot of time but when your brand gets to the stage where you have clients it gets easier.
Saying this as a marketing and business specialist❤

I'm so grateful for this video! I started my small business 6 months ago, and I struggled with growing my socials and selling my inventory. Then I discovered Quickly Social, and it helped me a lot. Thank you so much for this video; it made my day 10x better!

I should be studying but instead I’m watching her vids

[OMM.Ceramics]

I needed this :') I started my ceramic shop this year and just did my first pop-up. The imposter syndrome is kicking in full force, but thank you so much for the encouraging words and insights!

[SoftLikeClouds]

I love how Annika always connects with her audience so well 🩷🩷

[tokamadoka]

I've been following for awhile, and I started my small business awhile back. I had to start over for the sake of my health but, this year I'm hoping to start Youtube and reboot my brand. Thanks for the insight and motivation <3

[Questionablexfun]

These small business owners sharing on YouTube is just the best! Love you all and keep being inspiring !!🎉

I remember watching you back in your college days and it's satisfying to witness your journey to where you are now! You're so incredibly talented and your work ethic is admirable

❤I'm so thankful that the YouTube algorithm led me to find your video! As someone who owns a small business and also planning to start a youtube channel, I find so much comfort in the things you said in the video. I can relate to so many things, and thank you so much for sharing your journey!

To whoever is running a small business or planning to start one, sending you love and light! May the Universe's guidance bring you abundance and success! ✨

This video has been sent by whatever divinity has been paying attention to my thoughts because I am thinking of starting two small businesses! Not at the same time, one depends on how the other progresses, but I'm working on it. I've been watching so many of these videos that I already knew what you were going to say but you've still helped me a lot. Thank you.

[katzenotter]

I’m so glad you made this video cause you really inspire me to try and start a small business. It’s something I can see myself doing and the way you’re giving so much advice (FOR FREE!) is just even more empowering and I’m so grateful for that. Seeing you grow and watching your videos has truly been good for my soul this year. So happy I found your channel. Keep being your lovely self🩷

[LindaThao]

Love how you provided so much detail and information regarding your business! Thank you, Annika! 💖😭🫶🏼

[WLCreationsGifts]

To be honest, your channel is one of the channels I had going while I prepared to start my own business. You gave me so much inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing the advice and tips.

[rissasartshop]

I’m just starting my small business! I haven’t launched my shop yet but I’m researching, designing, and setting up social media for marketing. It’s so overwhelming but this is what I really want to do! Thank you so much for the video it was really helpful!✨

[tiffanyperdueVA]

Thank you for this Annika! I don't have a physical business but I do voice-over/voice acting professionally and the same tips you gave still apply to my type of business. Consistency and exposure is most of it!

[strawberryweb]

Seeing clips from your early days of bullet journaling made me so nostalgic! I've been watching your videos since 2020 and seeing the way that your shop and youtube channel have grown has not only been such a joy, but it's also a testament to your hard work and passion for what you do. Your success really is proof that if you just start, learn along the way, and keep going and growing, you can truly accomplish anything you want to 🥹✨Thank you for this video, it has helped a lot with my own journey of starting a small business and I can't wait to report back in a few years 🫡

[dianathehomeschooler]

Wow, you have been amazing. I find other videos super fake like it’s sooo easy but you gave such a realistic explanation, thank you!
