We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kira Smith. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kira below.
Kira, appreciate you joining us today. Can you tell us a bit about who your hero is and the influence they’ve had on you?
My son is my hero. Having him has brought more fulfillment to my life. I’ve been more motivated, creative & inspired than ever before! I feel like I didn’t really know what I wanted for my life until he came. God placed him in my life at the perfect time and I am forever grateful. One of the lessons I learn from him is that life goes by fast! He’s been growing so quickly and it reminds me to cherish every moment and be present.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
I got inspired watching tiktok videos of people using their cricut machines to make cute designs for starbucks cups, shirts, stickers, etc. So I bought a Cricut machine and started out making starbucks cups and beaded clips. After a little while I realized I wanted to do more so I bought a cricut heat press and slowly started making shirts. I realized that is my thing! So I’ve been sticking to it and I love it. I also lovee making stickers and custom fans! I can put almost any design on them and I love when customer’s challenge me with complex designs. I am most proud of my growth! I didn’t think I could do it at first but I am! I’m proud of myself for sticking it through and being able to be at home with my son while I do it. What sets me apart is I genuinely love what I do and I put my best effort into each order I receive. I hope my business continues to flourish! I’ll be starting my own clothing line soon.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
My best source of new clients has been Facebook! Facebook Ads & Facebook Marketplace have been the source of almost all of my clients. I definitely suggest anyone who’s starting out to post a few pictures of what you do or descriptions of what you do and run an Ad on it or put it on Facebook Marketplace.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
Every product I’ve customized I make sure to post. Every time. As I posted consistently I started receiving more and more followers. Especially when I started making videos of the process! My advice is be consistent! It doesn’t have to be the best or look the best, you’ll get there. Just be consistent and you’ll grow to where you want to be!
