My entrepreneurship story started when I recorded a video doing my makeup and uploaded it on YouTube. Then, I was contacted by someone who was in a committee for a statewide pageant. She asked me to do makeup for the pageant contestants in 2017. I was able to provide my services for two of the contestants, and one of them won fan favorite and the other won the winning title! In the following year, I was asked to come back to be a makeup artist. In the picture above, she is a client I had for the pageant in 2018. She won third place! I charged to do the makeup services, and I still charged people $50 in between my time with the pageant.
The reason I enrolled in ENT3003 is to learn how to improve my entrepreneurship skills. I would like to develop my skills more to develop a business in the future.
That’s very impressive that your marketed skill alone was able to garner you some business. And not only that, but it was accredited in the pageant. I am hoping you can provide a link to the video, so I could see just how much the video spread on the internet. I’m curious if you make a lot of makeup videos, or other videos on youtube.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your entrepreneurship story and I find your makeup service to be very impressive, seeing its success in the pageants. YouTube is such a great platform for marketing and getting your product or business out there. Also, I think your intentions of taking the class is great, and I wish you and your business the best of luck in the future! It looks like you're off to a great start.
Awesome that you where able to capitalize off your skill like that. I've always thought that so many skilled people miss out by not having a youtube page or Instagram account dedicated to their talents. You never know who might stumble across your page. Turning something you love into a money making opportunity is always very gratifying.
