Starting your own small business

This is some tough stuff to do. Two weeks ago I started sewing I sewed and sewed and sewed some more I made pillows and plastic bag holders I made hair ties and more, then I went to my churches flea market and it rained and rained, I sold next to nothing. I wasn't concerned about it at the time, because rain has that effect on sales, but when I got home I did some research cause I plan on selling these things through the web esty I guess. I checked out another crafter that is advertising on you tube and figured out that with only 4000 subscribers she sells stuff, I don't like the lady in particular her art is not that impressive just copies and she's shown a distaste for children. I've found that I really have no respect for those that don't understand the awesome sacrifice of having children and I'm not talking about the labor room. So she had 4000 subscribers and sells most of what she posts and I after about 9 months of having it in mind to promote myself on you tube have about 30 most of which aren't really interested in my work but are in my husbands work, aggravation. I'd like to get my numbers up all on my own but I know what it takes, I watched him myself when he did it the legitimate way mostly. Most of the others with large numbers cheat to the top. You can do it with refreshers software were it replays over and over, some of them make thousands of fake accounts to subscribe to themselves.
It's difficult to succed when you must balance a real life. I believe one thing should be but cannot act for I do what ever betters my children lives. These are the same problems I have with you tube I have better things to do with my time than edit videos. Maybe I'll give this a try though make 2 videos a week.
