We recently connected with Kalayha Moore and have shared our conversation below.

Kalayha, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Do you manage your own social media?

As far as my social media platforms for my business I do manage them by myself, when I update one I update the others I do believe I will eventually get to the point where I will have to hire a team to help manage it.

Kalayha, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My business known as KL Kollection LLC originally was created one day sitting around bored and I thought about how difficult it is for me and other ladies with nails to get our cards out of the ATM or even at the gas pumps, so I looked up ideas on YouTube and I went out and bought the items to create a card grabber, while creating those and they were popular at the moment I knew I needed to create something else and I thought about self defense keychains for ladies to protect themselves while out in public which included safety items if needed in trouble such as a alarm, flashlight and etc. Those sold out completely within the same day as time went by over the months that became my top selling item but I also wanted to think further ahead and bigger with other items to sell and I then began selling handmade lip glosses and lashes, selling completely out of my inventory for that I also started making flower walls and mirrors by hand. I personally think my flower walls sets me apart from others because it is very time consuming and I’m individually placing each flower to make a flower wall and most clients want several colors. I’m proud of myself and my business because I didn’t think I could do it and it was not something that was on my mind I just up and started a business from being bored and it has been doing good, for my potential clients/followers/fans I hope to gain some new clients as you will be very satisfied with my products as I plan to add new items soon as well as items not just for ladies. My business instagram is @klkollections and Facebook page is KL Kollection LLC, we do ship items if they are needing to be shipped.

How did you build your audience on social media?

I built my audience on social media by posting about my items and business pages on my personal pages and kept posting everyday and as I posted friends and family would share the post and when someone wanted those items they would mention me and my business. My advice to start building social media is no matter if you don’t get any shares, likes or interactions keep posting because eventually someone will see it and pass it along to others, so never give up just because one day you may have a interaction of nothing and the next it could be hundreds of interactions.

We’d love to hear your thoughts about selling platforms like Amazon/Etsy vs selling on your own site.

I do sell on my site as well as Etsy, I love Etsy when purchasing custom items for myself such as invitations and items for events. Gaining customers from complete strangers all over including international places that trust you enough to create something or even a product they love to use, the shipping methods for international could be better but outside of that I love Etsy and looking to expand to other platforms.
