Yes, I’ve sold merchandise that used my name and branding as a way to connect with my fan base. It was a fun way to give them something tangible that represented our community. From that experience, I learned the importance of understanding what my audience actually wants, making sure the quality matches their expectations, and promoting in a way that feels authentic rather than pushy. It also showed me how powerful it is to have a loyal audience who supports not just your content, but you as a brand.

My video creation process starts with looking for inspiration from content creators who have a similar style or focus to mine. I study what works for them, then add my own unique touch to make it personal and authentic. I also make sure to give my honest opinion about each product I feature, which helps build trust with my audience. From there, I plan the flow of the video, shoot with engaging visuals in mind, and edit to keep it fast-paced and relatable.

One of my reels recently reached 96.4K views, which was significantly higher than my usual engagement. I think it was successful because I focused on creating a visually engaging, fast-paced edit that matched a trending audio clip. I also posted it at a peak engagement time for my audience and used hashtags that were both niche and relevant, which helped it reach beyond my usual followers. The combination of trending content, timing, and relatability seemed to really resonate.
