Thank you all for 200k subscribers 😭💖. -- KZfaq has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid, and I can't believe we're already here!!! I hope this video was helpful, and I will be posting giveaway info on all my social media channels soon ~

So right about just starting without obsessing over details.. ..you'll learn as you go.

"By fairly pricing your product, you're also attracting an audience that ultimately you want to keep." This resonated with me a lot. I'm one of those that feel bad when pricing my items.

i cried so hard when you said "the universe is taking care of me" literally couldn't see anymore because of the tears

Wow. "The universe will reward those who are courageous enough to do what they love" I really needed to hear that right now.

I was a sculptor, also with oven baked clays, of course my sculps were slightly larger at 1/6 scale, mostly Marvel/DC. It took me a week to create one-of-a-kind art pieces. I tried to sell but couldn't find the audience willing to pay for my time. I progressed into cake decorating with modeling chocolate and have killed it in that area. Sometimes you have to tweak your talent to meet the needs of your audience. Thank you for showing me it could be done......

Are you kidding me! one of the most profound Q&A's if ever encountered. So many golden nuggets to get from. 1) being original & not worry about trends 2) getting rid of old so called "friends" 3) embracing fear...Last but not least...you were being productive while filming. Sister you rock! : )

I loved the vid, but be careful everyone. The "learn as you go" route can land you in a lot of hot water if you're not someone who keeps track of every single purchase/expense/sale, and even if your state has regulations against certain things. A lot of times you have to register your business name with your state or file certain forms to allow you to sell in person or online (and yes, selling in person vs online are two separate things with different forms). Please do your research before opening up your own personal finances to liability and the possibility of problems with the IRS when tax season is upon you and you have no clue what you're doing. This lady has a whole agency to help her so that might be why she brushed over it as a non-issue, but please please do the research in terms of legality and taxes because it only takes one irate customer to bankrupt you. Goodness forbid you sell a small item without any warnings, a kid chokes on it, and now you're open to being sued and are responsible for the harm caused. Call your state and local tax offices and ask questions if you can't find the answers you're looking for online!

I'm litterally crying right now, because you've inspired me sooo much en you're so sweet!! Normally I'm a silent watcher, but I just needed to make a comment on how amazing you are

I've watched a lot of "how to start a business" vids in the past and while they all inspired me they also left me with an impending feeling of dread and panic. Your video was so calming and was like the reassurance I needed to just start, nomatter what stage you're at, without overcomplicating things. It was also so so nice to see your old videos, because it shows you don't need the 4k perfect lighting setup to begin, you can always get to that later if you want and "learn as you go"

"The universe is taking care of me."... That's so heavy for me. I almost feel like a fraud just repeating it here. Thank you for this video. I really needed it.

Wow when you said “I was motivated by fear” that really resonated with me 🥺 it’s amazing how powerful it can be to acknowledge something like that so I can be intentional about working on that for myself. I’m so glad I found your little corner of KZfaq!

By pricing our items properly for our time we are also normalizing a living wage ❤️😌 thank you for this vid 😊

As someone who went to art school but hasn't had the courage/made the effort to do it for a living out of fear, I really appreciated this video. ❤

Over 3000 items?! 😮😮😮 Holy crap! I made 40 crochet Miffy Sonny hats and I’m done. My soul is empty. If I have to touch yarn ever again I might drop dead. You go girl! ❤❤❤

Thank you. I’m 57 and going from a long hiatus ina career I won’t be going back to and beginning my creative art stage of life. You’ve helped me realize my fear I’m not good enough is a waste of time. The universe will take care of us all if we believe in ourselves!

“I don’t have to seek trends I just make what I wanna make” brilliant babyyy

You are REALLY good at this and being in front of the camera. Most importantly your articulate on how you describe your business set-up. You have grown so much. You are a shinning star ⭐️ in this world. I am about to turn 60 and recent breast cancer survivor ( that alone is life changing) … and starting my creative journey to my retirement. I am learning more from you than most senior adult artist. Love you … keep on shining. You should be proud of yourself and know that you are making an impact on people of all ages in all phases of life. ❤

As an animal care enthusiast aspiring to be vet student someday, it makes me so so so so soooo happy to see you switch from kibble to gently cooked meat based food for you doggo. This is going to be so great for their health and coat! Love to see you supporting great brands like farmers dog :)

i really liked your answer tothe 'pricing' question, because what some people forget is, that no one forces you to buy stuff out of your price-ange. you can also silently support, by following or commenting :) or just click away if you don't like the contet you're seeing. :)

"if you think im awkward NOW?!" 😭😭 that spoke to my soul lmao you wouldn't have wanted to see me ten years ago!! 😭

I almost cried when you said that you never thought you'd amount to anything great. You're such a sweet and beautiful soul. Continued success.

3:39 you made me cry. And I feel like the Universe send "angels" in your way when you need them. So I found you now, my personality is like yours, like I'm introverted and I tend to have anxiety and I am in the process of my freelance business life as an artist. Your videos are encouraging.

We will always support you no matter what. Keep working hard.

I even struggle to watch videos of people talking about how to make your art work for life or how to get out of a creative rut. I’ve been doing the healing everyday but still feel shut off creatively. Your voice is so soothing and your presence is providing immense comfort that I haven’t felt in forever ❤ thank you for sharing and I’m so happy the universe is caring for you! 🤗 May you continue to have abundance and your cute puppy too!

This is such a beautiful video. Beautifully edited, beautiful dialogue, beautiful insights and information. So helpful and I feel like you really care about Uncomfy audience! Thank you for taking your time to make this video that will help so many people❤

I've been a clay artist since 2018. I used to sculpt clay for fun, but had to stop due to my work. I really felt the burnout because I couldn't pursue my passion. I was so stressed that I already having some health issues. Clay sculpting is my stress reliever, as I always enjoy making small things like miniatures. This month, I decided to resign with plans to return to what I love - creating art. Your words are uplifting and has given me the courage to CONTINUE and get back what I love doing. Thank you for this video❤

I’ve been dreaming of making a career in art since I was highschool, and videos like this help me remember that it can become a reality! Thank you for the tips and encouraging messages!

Omg the journaling and gratitude thing, yes , I don't do that one yet but every night I write down my fears and resentments and then meditate, it has helped me so much I cannot be more grateful for journaling. Would highly recommend journaling in any ways it helps you overcome your fears and anxieties !

this was honestly so comforting

it is genuinely videos like this that make me WANT to purchase the things you’ve put your heart + soul into. love how raw this is!

...and yet...there is no one like you. You fonstand out from the others. Your kindness and intelligence and calm, and things you exude subconsciously that we dont even acknowledge. You are magnetic.

Hey Beautiful, I just wanted to shoot you a huge thank you and a few other things. I don't normally feel compelled to comment, but the way you did this video was absolutely perfect and I think your products are adorable! I hope that you know you've made a huge impact on at least one person, but I know you've impacted many. I'm not even going for the same art style you're doing, but you spoke to all of us and took half the world off our shoulders, or at least me. I've been putting off my business ideas for probably close to a decade now, slowly trying to get back into it recently when I found this video. Because of you, I feel so much more at peace and confident to just, GO FOR IT. So thank you, for all of us uncomfy people! You're amazing, keep nailing it ❤

Literally halfway through this video and i just have to say you are just ADORABLE. I love how you structured this video, you made it so interesting, interactive, you've been SO open, and that intro edit was FIRE! The timing was spot on... you just seem so peaceful and lovely! ❤❤❤

I had once my online shop with stationery and the biggest problem I had was marketing - I thought it would be super easy and quick just to put some photos to Instagram etc but it was super overwhelming after a few weeks. Next time I would plan differently the whole social media part :

learning as you go is always the best advice when it comes to art, it makes it authentic, you and the experience and the art!

Thank you for your supportive video. I’m an older person who has always wanted to have her own business and I let my fear, anxiety, etc. hold me back. Your video showed me that gentle and consistent courage can reap powerful benefits.❤❤❤ Thank you so, so much for posting this. And keep on doing what you do!

OMG..!!!! Thank you so much... I was looking some tutorials or how to do videos and I came across this video... And because of this video and you, I found and bought the Artist's Way and everything is changed since then... I am taking my time trying do practices but after the book now I know what is my style is. I couldn't create my own ideas before, I was creating a collage inspired by references. Now I had a mini notebook of ideas which developed in 4-5 months. I am a 39-year-old person who specializes in a different profession but has always been in love with painting... You and the book save my love and live of Art... Thank you, thank you thank you so much 🥰🥰🥳🙏🙏🙏

Coquette maxine is so cute!! 💖

I love following you and your story, your energy is very kind and welcoming. Its helped me in a really dark time after losing my daddy in September. Your kind soul really comes through in all your videos and your a real inspiration to us artists

You put yourself at so much risk uploading this video but I admire your bravery,your dedication to your art,your persistence to face stigma from society as a former introvert,your openess and willingness to share and fit down others

I just binged like 5 of your videos and I’m feeling so inspired!! 😭😭 I’ve been in an art block for like 6 years and I hate it so much!! I feel like I’m getting old slowly reaching my mid thirties and the fact that I stopped creating has been eating away at me so much lately.. but I also struggle so hard to really commit. These videos are super motivating and I hope to one day feel assured and comfortable in my craft as you. 🥹 Your home is beautiful and it’s so easy to lose sight and be thankful for the things we have.

I’m developing my small business this year, while still working part time. So much great advice in this video, especially the part about experimenting and not worrying about pressure to perform. Thank you so much and I wish you lots of continued success!

The universe is taking care of us because you are a part of it.

its so good that you mentioned that its important to start out of passion! Start drawing, crafting etc. because you love it and you like spending your time with it and eventually you have your own business and can make a living with what you love!

I was actually using this video as a way of ‘research’ and I’ve always been very anxious when it comes to posting my art. This video really calmed my nerves and that fear went away a bit. Learning as we go on and really staying passionate with our work makes everything seem okay.

Oh my goodness, I definitely resonate with your second tip! I was so anxious of making mistakes when I first started out that I spent a whole year doing research, and in the end I knew I'll never truly have it all figured out unless I just get started. That realisation has spread to other areas of my life now too and it's been ever so rewarding 😊💕✨️

“I’m gonna get better at filming and editing, I promise” and you DID 💖

thank you for your video. I'm a web dev, but an artist at heart. I have been looking at trends bc I want to start my own business and have been lost on where/how to start. What I took away from your video, don't look at trends, be the trend and focus on my art, and not other ppl's art. Thank you!

You’re 100% unique and deserves to hear you’re doing so great from outsiders view. Strong minded and driven. That’s what the world needs more of ; positivity !

The Artist's Way is life changing! 💗

Your success definitely is an inspiration! It makes being an artist full time actually seem like it could be reality 🥹 I remember when you first started and you made a little cake with your radish character. We exchanged messages and from then I’ve had the privilege to watch you grow. Sending lots of love Tammy ❤️❤️

it makes me happy to see how you and your business have developed. you are such a warm and authentic soul, you deserve all of this 🌸

Congratulations!!! Tammy !!! 200K Subscribers. Wishing you the prosperous and success for many years to comes. Love you!

I didn’t expect much when clicking on this video, I thought it would be some shallow tips from someone who already had following prior opening their business or something about personal brand and such things. I am pleasantly surprised to receive sincere advice and encouragement from one human to another. Really great answers that, I think, apply to different types of business and different types of art. Thank you.

Your way of talking is so real, I can't stop watching! I've been thinking of starting my own creative business for a long time, thank you for the advice and inspiration.

Hi Tammy, i just wanted to let you know that I'm really proud of you! You're my biggest inspiration and u helped me discover my passion and talent on polymer clay. You're so cool and your videos always bring me peace! Unfortunately, u dont ship to Greece where I live, so even tho I've been wanting to buy your creations for the longest time, i cant. I wish you all the best! Thank you for everything you've done for me 💕

Hey, I never really comment but watching this made me cry, you’re a big part of why I created my Small business! But as of recently I have been in a sad state because I just opened my business and I have gotten 2 orders (one being my sister 😊) I’m really thankful but I don’t know why it isn’t doing better I put so much hard work into it, some sometimes it just makes me feel like I have nothing, people visit my website but no one buys, anyways you have been a good role model and your words have inspired me to not give up!!! Thank you so much 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Thank you for always always always, giving us the business side of the art industry.... Because as an amateur artist trying to navigate the financial side as well , I'm so thankful to uncomfy. Please give us more ❤❤❤❤

that's so so true about "not making too much research" because it is really something that can stop you from your actual first intention and goal you had at the first place. it really is like that! I'm in a team "just do it and whether or not it's going to work" see the process be in the process - don't read about it and hear about it

What a beautiful life you have carved for yourself. May the spirits of inspiration forever whisper in your dreams.

I decided that I really wanna put myself and my art out there this year and hopefully start a small business. I just to make adorable, pretty, artsy things that bring people joy. It'll be hard to balance with a full time university degree but I think it's possible. Your videos really help with that.

I'm sooo early, Love you and your content 💞

9:30 - this part had me SOBBING, I heard so much of myself in your story and it was so moving to hear how much happier you became, the self love, the confidence, once you were able to pursue your desires. I'm striving toward that right now and sometimes it feels so so hard to get there, but I feel one step closer every day. Thank you so much for being so vulnerable, you're inspiring

OH MY 200,000!? I'm so happy for you!😊 Thankyou for your videos bring me soo much comfort and confidence 💖You are my biggest inspire ❤

Let me just say I’m uncomfy and have never clicked faster on a small biz advice video thumbnail

I’m a self taught graphic designer, photographer, and multi-media visual artist, been running my small business for over 10yrs now, and this was still super helpful. Even just to witness your story and see so much of my own experience in it. “The universe rewards those who have the courage to do what they love” that one keeps me going too. Ugh so good. One of the areas I continue to struggle with is putting myself out there in video. Thank you for the reminder that it just takes practice.

I am Starting my small business and this video just inspired me and got me out of my head. I have been scared and not believing that my shop will gain any traction but I am happy that and am pushing through! Thank YOU

Tammy I’m obsessed with your videos, every day I come back from work and i open you channel while eating my dinner. You bring comfort and all your advices are on point! Please keep going you have Admirable talent 💖

Your videos have inspired me so much over the past few months. I finally started my little shop on Etsy!! I want to make classic, cottagecore, and antique-inspired goodies. 💕 Unrelated but WHERE did you get your skirt? It's sooo cute!! Thanks for being an inspiration 🥰

I really needed to hear what your saying today! “The universe is taking care of me” really hits hard. Thanks for sharing! ✌️

tips: -start while you have stability, it takes time to build a brand or build up your quality and doing so when you are still in school or still working a corporate job means you have stability. any income earned from this period it just a bonus. -if your work is part of your passion (like art) it can quickly turn into burnout, try to do something in line with your work for fun, like make a clay sculpture from leftovers as a challenge in your free time. DON’T sell it. you need a clear boundary and this will set it for you. ❤

Hello, 100th like here 😊 thanks for the great videos Tammy

God is taking care of you

"universe will reward those who are courageous enough to do what they love" - love this

14:07 I think many people struggle to realize that including me, because that is a fact. It's the first video I watched from this channel, and I'm so glad that I find it.

as great as your story sounds, its hard to believe this type of art is getting 13k a month. just cant imagine that many people buying these types of items consistently. but if true thats hopeful for artists

Jesus Loves You ❤

I stumbled upon this video because I have been looking to further my art career. Thank You so much for this video. I was so happy to hear that you also have used The Artists Way to help you build confidence with your art. I have many self doubts about myself and my art, and watching your video is giving me the courage to keep going. Thank You again!

Hi, Sorry to say but your business is not art but content creation. You have a follow-up of 220K people at whom you can talk for free. I say this because there are people on YT thinking they have a successful business or successful book sale but are not, they are successful content creators. In other words, if nobody knows about your arty products, you won't sell even a single piece. also 13K on sales are not monthly sales. It looks a bit misleading. I am not a hater, I just think is not good make other people as if they are failing. From my point of view, if you can not be employed by a company you. had failed. (which will include most KZfaqrs) That's my opinion. Thanks x

i know this isnt the only thing you do, just like the rest of those "how to make 200,000 k usd a month " utubers, its not a simple as you said in your video, be realistic please, this kind of income is unrealistic for an honest work, either you're doing something scammy or ur parents are rich lol.

Thanks for this. I'm literally in the process right now of trying to get my pottery shop off the ground and it's so nerve wracking. Seeing artists like you do so well is so inspiring! Your advice is sooo appreciated!

2:40 LEARNING AS YOU GO!! Yes take risks and expect to learn from mistakes. It’s been the most rewarding for me!! 💕🥰

Jesus is Lord

I would love to thank you for this beautiful video you share with us! Even though most of the things you said, most of us knew the answer already, but is always important to hear it, specially coming from a successful person as you! Keep inspiring us! Lots of success and happiness 🤍

You made me feel really good about life by being so real and sharing some stuff that I actually needed to know as a shy anxious person. Thank you

I wanna have my own bussiness too , I wanna work with candles , I love candles, their smell, but I feel nervous and uncertain all the time but Your videos helps me to feel more confident and chase my dreams

I'm so happy I stumbled upon your account! Been wanting to start a small art business and the anxiety always takes over, but this video really help alleviate the stress!

Tammy, I cannot express how great and comforted these videos make me feel. I'm starting up my small business this year and have been feeling so lost, I'm glad you made this.

I have been a resin artist for two years now, yet made my first sale at the beginning of this year. You are for sure an inspiration and I am so grateful you talk about real life and you give me hope that I can sell my art at a price that I know it is worth. I will be successful ❤😊

1st video i watched and immediately followed you. thanks for your contents!

I watched this video when you first posted it. Back then I was so burnt out that I couldn’t even finish it. And now Im so inspired and motivated and my whole life has shifted alhamdulillah. It’s amazing how time changes everything.

Thank you so much for being honest and vulnerable. You are very inspiring

the vibes here are gorgeous! i'm a new creator who just started 2 months ago - dropped everything to do what i love (cooking and creating) and i love seeing other small creators/businesses flourish. go you!

When you say the universe is taking care of me, my eyes also got tears ❤❤❤❤ I can resonate with you

these days your channel is my favorite. your videos make me a little comfy in this uncomfy world

you showing the old videos? THANK YOU for that. because that’s me… i cringe so hard at myself and you’re so well spoken and confident here so i had no idea you started like this!

I just wanted to say this video, and several that you've made have really given me hope. I truly feel inspired. I've had a small wire art jewelry hobby business for a few years. Now I'm at a point that I'm going to make it full time because of life circumstances. I've had a lot doubts and fears, and I'm so happy to come across your uplifting and inspiring video today. Wishing you much success as your journey continues!

I think you gave me the final push I needed to take the first steps into the small business world. Thank you so much for putting all this out there! You're such a fantastic person 🥰 much love to you and your business!!

I am so grateful to have found this video, and your channel. I honestly feel like the universe sent you to me and I'm so lucky!
