that plastic free version looking mighty foine
great ad segue
cool natural brand. that's ethical
I use the Eucalyptus mint one and I love it so much. I'm on my 2nd one rn 😊
You’re the gate opener for small clay businesses and also dealing with anxiety the journey to embracing yourself more. I love it
Social media has always been a scary thing to me, but there was a point where I was comfortable enough to upload a lot of my memories on my Instagram every other day. 'Friends' or classmates kept taunting me with "you upload too much". I stopped since that day but this video has definitely motivated me to use social media how I want to!
I feel that. Someone close to me told me I was too obsessed with my characters and art. I stopped pursuing art for almost 2 decades. Words seem to strike deep when we are young, and one thing that is important no matter the age: If they are toxic in your life, you are better off without them, because if they won't let you be you... Then you aren't really yourself anymore, but what THEY want you to be. And thats not worth it.
Aww 🥺 this makes me so sad knowing their words affected you like that. Some times people are just jealous of what you’re doing and instead of being supportive, they try tearing you down. I’m glad you’re starting to feel comfortable with the idea of posting again ❤
that’s why i made an entirely different acc just for my artworks, once a classmate discovered my old art acc since i connected it with my phone number (big mistake) so i couldn’t bring myself to post there anymore and deleted that acc too xD
now i have a new one free from anyone close to me and it’s been great, no pressure from people close to me irl :)
Omg, please don't listen to those "friends"! You can share whatever you feel right ❤
You should not feel scared to use social media, nor do you need to care for others opinions. Who cares what they think you should do. They should focus in their own businesses, since it seems they have a lot time on their hand. On the other hand, its is better to not let people know everything about your life. Not because it isn't nice to share, but you never know who is seeing it.
It probably helps to be photogenic. I feel super self-conscious on camera. I came to art later in life, after climbing a corporate career ladder. Now I’m tired and i look it, so i feel super sad to show my always tired face on camera, although i realize that that’s how i need to connect to the audience. :(
agree it's harder when you are older to get the courage. People seem more forgiving and accepting of younger people on these social platforms. It's one reason I have only done voice so far on insta and not started on youtube even though I want to. But then there is always the odder older person that gets a large following. Maybe targeting older folks is the key...?
Same, but not older, just not very pretty and the opposite of photogenic
Very valid!! People never talk about this…
Applies to me but thinking about taking the plunge + trying anyway. I can't change my physical issues, but I won't let it stop me
I’m 40 but people don’t think I’m 40 when they see me. Which it’s good but I’m uncomfortable in front of the camera because I’m not photogenic and I don’t like my voice
I found your channel a few months ago during a really difficult time in my life. I had just lost my Uncle, a few days after I lost my dog, and two weeks later- I had to walk out of my job with an alcoholic, abusive boss. But because of your videos, I was determined and on a mission- totally inspired and I knew that I needed to get back into sculpting and make my art, paint, draw etc. I had to sustain myself and make money and do what I’m actually passionate about. Creating. I’ve made more art in the last 3 months than I have in the last 3 years. I know you help so many people, and you hear it all the time but I’m grateful for you. You’ve inspired me tremendously, and because of you, I’m opening a new shop and building my small business all the way up. Thank you so much, Tammy. You are such an inspiration.
🥺 thank you so much for sharing your story! i’m so sorry for your losses, and i’m so thankful to be able to be there with you as you venture further into your creativity! this why i am so passionate about art and being self employed, because it truly give people a path that fits their needs in the most loving and fulfilling way❤️ you got this!!
@@tammydinh Thank you for your kindness! You’re doing amazing, and I’m so appreciative of your reply ☺️♥️✨
Wow that’s awesome 👏 ❤ congratulations
@@paulasaraivajournal Thank you so much☺️♥️
i adore your work. you showed me that my clay figures can be something, even if this is only few goofy animals. thank you.
🥹❤️❤️❤️
There's something really fun about explaining the stories behind your characters/your art and connecting with other artists. It's so cool to see where you started from and I hope to see the same growth for everyone else watching this video!
You're such a sweet girl 😊 I've seen you become so much better at speaking to the camera and making cuter clay creations over time! More power to you Tammy ❣️
aw thank you so much!! means so much that you see me trying and improving every video :,) your comments always make my day!
@@tammydinh you deserve the love 🌻
Thank you for reflecting on your social media journey with us! Social media has become a huge source of disappointment for me lately, so it's very comforting to hear you encourage everyone not to be scared of it! ❤
You are amazing... I don't think I could ever get enough of your kindness and adorable cuteness!
you are literally the sweetest.💗 when i was going through your posts on instagram, i wasn't just able to press the back button until i saw each and every one of your posts, your art is so engaging so as i scrolled down, i saw that no one had ever commented on your very first post. So i did, and now i got to see my comment in your video and i was so proud, right there is the prove that i am the biggest Uncomfy fan girl. Love you Tammy. 🌷 Hope you are taking care of your health. 💗
oh my gosh 🥺 this means the world to me!!!! thank you so so much!! and thank you for asking about my health too 🥹 i am doing much better!!
@@tammydinh did you just reply me. 😭 Omggggggg. ❤️
This helps so much, I have not posted to my CZcams in about a year because I felt my videos were cringe. This encourages me to keep going and not be so hard on myself, I really want to be comfy with being uncomfortable. Love your channel and all your lovely clay friends ❤️ 🥰
You are so kind; showing folks how to have a personable and high quality professional presence in social media.💗🌞
(Tbh, I'm currently watching videos while I craft for my own comfort. Still, I recognize the immense value of creators like yourself. Thank you for taking time to share your process & life; and, to make the videos so lovely too, of course! )
very informative video. There is almost no thing more satisfying than making things. Like magic, you bring into existence cute characters mad from clay.
You've quickly become my favourite content creator, your art is so cosy 😊
Thank you so much for being open with your social media journey. I have been running my small business, The Herbalist's Assistant for four years now. I make sustainable selfcare products such as soaps, lotions, etc. and social media has always been something that I have struggled with. I often put a lot of effort into making my posts cohesive and aesthetic and spent money on ads and marketing classes, forgetting that crucial thing you mentioned, "what benefit am I providing to my audience?" Thank you again, you are an inspiring go getter yet a place of comfort when I get overwhelmed as a small business owner. :)
Thank you so much for this! I am a 48 year old artist and a musician (not a clay artist though) and I have been putting off using social media (other than a bit of youtube) even though I know it would help me.. I always seem to have something else that I would rather be doing! I appreciate the company of Uncomfy while I work away on my art and you have nudged me towards putting some things out to promote my work. These were very good suggestions.
I completely agree with what you said about posting on multiple platforms as posts can do well at different places
You are so lovely, positive, encouraging, and clear. Thank you for sharing so generously and congrats on all your wonderful success as an artist. It’s extremely inspiring.
I totally agree with your point on creating value to build credibility. It's very important in social media growth. I've been using Boost App Social for this very purpose - it has significantly helped me in creating valuable and engaging content for my audience.
Really? I've heard of Boost App Social, but how exactly does it help in creating valuable content?
@@auorawright It uses AI to provide creative captions, relevant hashtags, and effective content ideas. It helps to maintain the interest of my followers and enhance the reach of my posts.
@@julianacollins729 Yes, I can attest to that! Boost App Social has truly been a great tool for me too. Super love it!
I admire your transparency ✨ so glad i found u
thank u so much for this video! this was both so calming & informative 🧡 i loved hearing the story of your little radish friends so much! the meaning behind your art gives me the seem feeling as the sentiment & nostalgia behind studio ghibli movies :’) i’m so grateful that u one day took that step forward & began showing the artist behind the art! being able to see the warm & kind soul behind ur art makes me adore ur characters even more!! i’m so excited for the day i can purchase one :3 🫶🏼🫶🏼
this was one of the most inspiring small art business videos I have seen in a long time. It was just so authentic. Thank you❤❤
I feel so encouraged. ❤❤❤ Thank you for this love. Keep doing what you’re doing. You really are helping so many. I’m definitely one of them. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 God bless your journey!
Oo yes thanks so much for your tips. I liked the point about making a connection with your audience because I feel like thats what drew me to watch you! ❤️
tammy, you're so comforting on multiple levels. thank you for always providing us with a safe space and encouraging us to admire our authentic selves. recently, you have motivated me to start my own clay business and although it's overwhelming, i always remember that you told us to just have fun
I love how your 'advice videos' make me feel really comfy and supported instead of stressing on the importance of something (which is how I feel most of the time after watching what other artists' tips). So, thank you ❤❤☺️
Thank you for sharing this! It’s so nice to see where art business owners started versus where they are now. I love that you didn’t take it too seriously and let your personality shine through. It really seems like that helps a lot. Anyone can see something pretty and give it a like but most people stay when they feel connected to the artist. ❤
You give me an unbelievable amount of comfort ❤ thank you so much and congratulations 💖💞
Gave me so many goosebumps, and honestly, this is what I needed to hear
Its so cool to see how much you've grown!!! Keep up the good work and keep growing!
aw thank you!!!
I have been doing clay art since I was in college and tried to start a clay business last pandemic but decided to stop since my page is not doing well and I am getting few to no orders at that time. I would like to thank you for sharing your tips with us. I will give it a try again this time and hopefully to succeed in the future ❤❤ Hoping for everyone's success 🙏
this was soO helpful and motivating. i recently started posting my work on social media and it’s been a bit disheartening, but your words of motivation have inspired me to keep going! thank youu
I admire how honest and caring to yourself you are. And it feels like this is exactly what your audience needs - an example of a person who is embracing themselves and manages to succeed, because this is what we would like to be.
Also, thank you for this video! Very informative and encouraging.
This video is so educating and also motivating, thank you so much for making it! You are a true gem, I hope you have a great day! ❤
I LOVE YOUUU AND UR CONTENTS!! thank you for sharing tammy 💞💞
Thank you for this video! I love ya for being you, Uncomfy. ❤❤❤
Just bumped onto your channel and I absolutely love the way you talk! You sound so authentic and comfortable, and that's so inspiring!!🤍😭
That you so much for another fantastic video! I recently started to post on Instagram for my art! And it was pretty intimidating and sent my anxiety through the roof! This really helps a lot! I don't have to be too fancy or put on a show! I can just be myself and just have fun...which is quite reassuring!
Thank you for sharing! I only share my work/art on my channel and instagram… I have branched out to shorts or TikTok… really don’t want to but moments like these make me think it’s better for an artist to get seen.
Great advice and knowledge you’re sharing. Thank you, Uncomfy!
Looking beautiful Tammy 😍 You are my inspiration for trying clay art, i was never inclined towards clay or pottery just in general, but after watching your & few lovely youtubers i just love! Love the feel, touch & the outcome of Terracota Clay.. ❤🥺✨
Thank you so much for sharing this! I think a lot of this is important even for more established small businesses, and reminders are always nice to see :)
You’re so sweet. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips!💕
This is the most honest and encouraging video I have seen. You are truly an inspiration .I have wanted to make my own vlogs for quiet sometimes but have been very apprehensive about showing my face. Thank you for giving various ways to creta vlogs.
Sorry for the long reply. Just very encouraged and you are Soo real and uplifting.😊
Thank you Tammy
Love this!! I feel like connection with your audience and making your art personal to you can be missed a lot with beginner artists and sellers. If you want people to support you, show them the real you! Been loving your videos lately Tammy :)
Hey i love making clays and i actually got here trying to find a way to smooth out my piece. And i ended up subscribing you and watching all of your videos! Im korean and live in korea so i hardly ever stumble upon foreign channel. Im glad i did! You are so down to earth and a hard workder. And i can see how your brand could grow up to be as it is now. Love your art ❤
Thank you so much for all your tips and for sharing your experience. You have helped me a lot 😊
I'm gonna keep coming back to this video for reference, thank you so much for the advice
Thank you! I appreciate your video. I believe you accomplished all you wanted and more! ❤
Your last thoughts made me tear up. I am in the process of starting a rave accessories business. Thank you so much for this video. 💞✨
Thanks for the inspiration! I'm doing this now.
you're so inspiring to me!! I am absolutely in love with the radish babies😭❤
I love your work sm ❤
Thank you so much for the tips ❤ amazing video as always!
OMG! That one last thing you said made my heart sing: “There’s nothing more beautiful than someone pursuing their passion.” 🥹🥰🫶🏻💕
Just discovered you today, absolutely love your message and courage and radish friends! Thank you for all you do 💗
Thank you so much for your videos!!!❤
Thank you for such a sweet and supportive video!
Thank you for this video! I'm an English teacher as a foreign language and I'm trying to be more regular on social media, but it's been so hard. I'm an anxious person and I tend to beat myself up when things don't go as well as I had planned. Yesterday, for example, I recorded a vocabulary video of around 3 minutes more than 20 times. And the editing part, boy! I had all the difficulties possible while doing it....
But I know that we learn through practice. So, I'll keep practicing! 💪
your videos are always so comforting!
so glad to hear that :,)!!
Thanks for sharing, very happy for you!
luv ur clay creations:)🧡
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts ❤❤❤
This video really helped. I stopped posting thinking my art is cringey now i get it. Thank you ❤❤❤
You just motivated me to post my first video with a voice over, thank you!
I also love the lilac and white tea native 🎉
This is better than every professional development I've had on social media. As someone with a 4 month old creative business struggling with how to do social without dying inside of every time, I thank you.
Your advice is really comfy
This video was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and your beautiful spirit ✨💜✨
+1 for Native. I've been using some stuff from their "candy shop" line thing. Strawberry+Vanilla Taffy scented deodorant smells so gooood.
Thank you for your motivation. I am also uncomfy all the time. I draw cute stuff and sometimes I am frustrated for how many likes and followers that I had. Your video cheer me up and I will keep working on it.❤
Thank you so much for this video, it made me feel better about what I want to do, because I'm very shy and I'm afraid to post my stuff on social media, afraid that no one will care or care to buy it, just wanted to say thank you for sharing this.
you're so pretty i can't 🥺Thanks for your advices!!!!!!!
Love you videos. Thanks for all the lessons and sharing you art.🐨💞👏🏼
You're amazing! Thank you for sharing ❤
Love love love all your videos!!
Love ❤ this is so helpful 😊
This is so helpful!! Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤
Thank you, this was actually really helpful!
Thank you, this is so helpful ❤️
Thank you for sharing. Yes, this was a helpful video and nice insight into how you started and where you are now.

I love the story behind your characters
I love how you don’t get keep anything! You’re really motivating and I hope to be like you someday! Uncomfortable forever!!❤

Some really good tips, thank you!!
I love your art! thank you for sharing
Congratulations on 100k followers! And you will be on 100k subscribers soon too 🥳🥳🥳🥳 I love watching your videos, they bring me so much peace 🥰sending much love and more blessings your way ❤❤❤
Thank you !! You posted this a year ago, but I found it at the perfect time!
I’m not even in the art business but I love your motivation and purpose of your channel/ business
I really appreciate all of these videos and content you have, you share a lot experience and knowledge which took your time and effort! It really means a lot to a small business owner~~
what a beautiful story and journey :')
Thank you so much for this!!
Thank you, your videos are so helpful :X
Thank you, this was great!
I drew kawaii art and because they were so simple and cartoony I told myself that no one would be interested but you’ve inspired me to try to tap back into making characters and even trying sculptures
I hope to have good luck with in person sales and whatever I don't sell in person at my market stand I'll start my online shop. Being short on money/ me liking to buy all my products in person when I can makes me just nervous, you could even say uncomfy ha.
Thanks for giving your advice even if it doesn't work for everyone.
Thank you for this, it really helps c:
Thank you I’m so uncomfy and and I took it so serious thank you for sharing😭!!
I watched this & became comfy.
