    "The trust that I've built with my community is worth way more than a few hundred bucks." ❤❤❤❤ And, this felt oddly like permission to stay alligned with my soul. Wait...I mean confirmation, not permission. Thanks for being you. Thanks for creating. Thanks for following your intuition. Inspired!

      It can be really discouraging when sales are slow, but don't give up! Every business has its own journey, and sometimes it just takes a little longer to gain traction. Keep believing in your work and stay persistent. Your dedication will pay off!

    I agree, though to an extent. People can bully others for various reasons, not always obvious even to themselves. I was bullied for 7 years of school. Firstly because I was new in the school, then because I was an overweight kid, then because I was "weird and antisocial". Some people want attention, some people want power or submission. Some people only have this one way to show you that they're interested in you 🤔 The school kids only stopped bullying me when I beat them up and after I gained their 'respect' they even tried to make friends. That was less than 10 years ago, I promise I'm not a grandma gahaga But yeah, everyone has their own ways of personal growth and dealing with situations like this 👏

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo 3 дні тому

      It's true that people bully for many reasons, often complex and sometimes not fully understood even by themselves. Finding ways to stand up for yourself and gain respect can be a tough journey. It's great that you found a way to assert yourself and eventually gain some peace. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

    @Creative Hive, Thank you for the nice video. Please help my curious mind with why you would share the source of your income AND THE WAY TO DO IT with us? As your subscribers and followers, for someone we follow and send likes and comments etc it would be more genuine and honest from you if you could be transparent about your reasons. Because rationally people do not make competitors for their business and also don't tend to reveal their income and its sources and and the way into it simply because of the supply & demand ratios. Making $83,893/month surely takes a lot of your time. Where do you find the time to come and make these videos? Please support us with answering this question just like us supporting you by watching and following you. Thanks

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo 3 дні тому

      Thanks for your comment! I totally get where you're coming from. Being transparent about my income and business strategies is something I feel helps build trust and community. It's about sharing what works (and what doesn't) to help everyone grow together. As for finding time for videos, it's a juggle for sure! But I love connecting with people who shares the same interests and sharing what I've learned. Your support means a lot, and I'm grateful for it!

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo 6 днів тому

      While I don't currently use Amazon, I think it's a great platform to consider as an additional sales channel. It can help reach a broader audience and complement existing online stores.

    The question that no one is asking: if you make almost $100k every month, why the HELL would you still making UA-cam videos? Something does not add up.

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo 7 днів тому

      Thanks for your question! In the video, I mentioned that part of that income comes from the monetization of my UA-cam videos. Creating content for my UA-cam channel also helps drive traffic to my online businesses. Plus, I love connecting with my audience and sharing valuable insights. It's a win-win!

    My worry is that Facebook suppresses posts with outside links to even your followers. So even if I have over 100 followers, only like 5 or fewer people would see it. I just hate algorithms so much. I can't really advertise on Facebook, so that option is out. :/

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo 7 днів тому

      I understand your frustration with Facebook's algorithms! It's true that posts with outside links can sometimes get lower reach. But don't give up-finding what works for you might take some experimenting.

    That is great. Most of these sites support more or less only US sellers. Do you know for any sites that welcome EU sellers as well? Similar to Goimagine, lets say?
