  • lol, this made me sub

  • giraffe nuts  omg. do it make our hair grow

  • Geez...I was surprised by how reasonable you items are priced! I guess some folks will always complain.

  • PS i ws trying to thumb up ova and ova again and just realized what was going on lol!

  • Selima BUSINESS 101!! that is your new column for your channel!!!!

  • YESSS that is the truth...! packaging, staging, equipment, materials TIME!!!! all of the effort it takes to put it together.. the seller really is working for the consumer!!

  • People forget about the packaging, boxing, and hosting of a website, plus any additives.

  • Speak the truth!!!!

  • Thanks for the education!!...I am no longer remedial. :)

  • TEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hell yeah... subscribing to you right now, love ya channel.

  • I had to come over here and subscribe because I you are and intelligent sister.

  • 2% shoot...Paypal is 5% and Google merchant is even higher. It is expensive to be in business. People are ignorant to the responsibility, time, and effort that go into running a business. When you start factoring in issues like oversea shipping (which by the way is outlandishly high), U.S. customs fees (UPS, DHL, FEDEX, etc they all charge a fee for going overseas), shipping costs to the consumer, and packaging fees. The profit you make is minimal, as a small business in the U.S. it is tough.

  • well said

  • Regarding chargebacks, isn't there time frame to dispute your chargebacks on your merchant account? I used to handled chargeback and chargeback reversals for many years. A lot of merchants are also connected electronically so that can get the chargeback notices and not depend on mail. Was wondering if that's still the case.

  • *standing on top of my chair screaming* PREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACH CHILE PREACH! This sooooo needed to be said. Kudos to you from all the entrepreneurs out there! SUBBED!

  • BAYBAYYYYY you betta say THAT! I truly don't think people realize what it takes to run your own business. They just see the end result and complain from there. Me opening my second business I know this all too well. Thank you for the break down for everyone suga!

  • I love your products, you have good products i like. 

  • Well said & I always knew there were more costs involved with selling products & I don't sale anything at this time, but I can really appreciate u 4 breaking it down 2 ppl.... u named it correctly !!!!!JUST BUSINESS!!!! GREAT VIDEO

  • From an accountant you broke that down ohhh so well. I try to explain this to friends and other people all the time.

  • Hallelu!!!!

  • Yes! On everything! Yes! I agree wholeheartedly. If one is not satisfied with the price of a product they can go else where! Why complain ?? And making a false website or business page is not only cowardly but extremely juvenile.

  • Gas money, postal fees, taxes! Ubst! This one "guru" said she wants ppl to send her 7 products to do a review.. hahah! You can tell she ain't NEVER had nothing! *Girl that is YOUR business.. I feel ya! and I thank ya!

  • you are intelligent and very creative, don't sell yourself short. These same people will go to a Korean Beauty Supply store, being treated like crap and won't say boo

  • @EmpressElizabeth1920 you know you're right! it's sad

  • Thanks for making this video. It seems like people think that if you have a small business you should practically be giving stuff away. SMH just foolishness.

  • Well said!!!

  • GREAT VID..... SO TRUE

  • off topic:LOVE the look, doll! You rocking that hair!!! :)

  • Speak Speak on it!!! I have my own business where I make my own products by hand. And you are telling the truth no matter if you make it homemade or import/export. Speak on it!!!!! Love your channel and I'm a fellow Texan myself living in Maryland.

  • Love those earrings Mama!! I'll be ordering some stuff real soon. Love Ya

  • LMFAO @ "Angela Follins out of Windsor Connecticut" she must have did you wrong SMH!!!

  • beautifully explained darling!!

  • Not only that, but ""Angela Follis out of Windsor Connecticut'' lol.....is forgetting that even though that woman is charging 10.00 for something that cost her maybe 3 dollars..She may only sell 1-bottle..per month..Besides it's like you said, Its a choice..you can either buy it...or don't..Do your research..find it elsewhere then..Trust me..when i buy something..or want to buy something..I do my research..I try and find it cheaper..or at least see if its any good. I do that with any mac e/s.

  • I am so glad you did this video thank you

  • If women would learn to live in their means they wouldnt need to be shady like Angela follins she got money for a pinto but tryin to buy bmw ladies instead of imbracing her pinto and makin that fly she boucning checks tell her stay in her lane go bk to gumball machine jewerly and leave the good stuff for us who will pay and not complain bout payin for what we want vented a lil but i see this so much on tubes or ladies scared to say what they have cuz it is bragging PLS HATERS is what i smell!

  • I so get why u made this vid but girlll we know those type of people will neva get it.. I say this I dont care of it was 2 point blank and period it is a business owners right to charge whatevaaaaa they would like and it is a customers to choose to buy or not.. so i say all that to say to do u and charge whateva and after gettin kids over with holidays this momma is comin to shop thing i really love about ur site is u have something for everyone the poor to the can drop that cash ladies..LOVE IT

  • I'm just dying... Angela follins has now been on notice, lmao

  • I don't have a business but damn u know folks gotta make money! If I don't have the money to pay hell I don't buy it! If I want it I buy it whatever it costs!

  • Shame on angela triflin ass!!!!! She wrong for the charge back.... she looking like a dead beat ass debtor!!!!

  • put her governor name on blast again,lol!I totally feel you,and love the hair!

  • U jus gave her sum mo biz ness ma cause I"ll b @ her. I cant stand dumb shit. My definition of stupid/dumb ppl is u no right from wrong and u choose to do wrong shit then u deserve 4 me to call u dumb as hell n yo face cause if u dumb enough 2 do it then u deserve to go 2 HELL hence the phrase "DUMB AS HELL"

  • i luvs ur hair!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yes indeed business 101, a company need to make money as well. Let support each other. When I purchase something I never return it unless its not working at all.

  • Thumbs Up Selima!!!!!!!!

  • this was good now i want ask y if i can i will and if not i wont;} i understand very well

  • very well said.

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU .... I had a clothing store and bitches always wanted a discount .... but would go to the wig shop to buy it full price ... but you are right my merchandise every penny goes to something lights water marketing ect ...

  • I am so proud of you I remember back in the days on blog tv when you were gonna become your own business --You just gave a business administration 101 class Bless you

  • You know Selima I think you explained it very well. People who have never owned, no of someone that owns or ever worked in retail is going to understand the financial logistics it takes to run a business. The way you broke it down was wonderful but of course you know that someone out there is still going to complain and that's basically because they want something fo nothing.

  • 3. And TIME! People must start understanding time is money. Some ppl SMH (great vid)

  • Makes perfect sense...

  • 1. Hey Selima, this is a great vid! I work in Logistics/ I handle international trade (import and exporting) and people have no idea the cost involved in shipping! Fuel, customs... depending on the country there are numerous fees... people don't realize it not just like mailing a letter. Sometimes the cost will be by volume (the space it takes up) vs weight (think shipping cases of light bulbs). I work with manufactures and distributors all the time

    2. Thank u for taking time to tell these folks

  • @lov3rbox - Ok see we're on the same page. After I posted my response i was like now this person is definitely knows their stuff.

  • I can't stand the way they did Platinum. Thanks for the break down...I totally respect the business. My uncle has his own and people constantly tryna get the "hook up." I wanna see somebody go ask Sam Walton's kids for the hook up. But this was very informative. And shout out to all the cowards on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and all that...WE SEE YOU!!! OH YEAH ANGELA TOO ;)

  • i seen that badassplatinum page that was just wrong. u dont have to buy her shit u dont have to watch her videos. i hope she don't stop making videos i miss her do u know what is up with her. people need to get a life and wonder why blk people don't support each other.

  • Welp, your naem is beautyONBLAST, ain't it? You done aired Ms Angela out. The people who keep asking you where you get your stuff from? I hope they are taking notes on this, cause you are spitting game.

  • Wowza!!! I never knew how much was involved. When people do the charge backs ect...It is stealing. Plain and simple....A stinking dirty theif!!! Its just not right!! #ijs. =0)

  • You can run and tell that run and tell that home girl home girl home home home girl !

  • I try to get ppl to understand this all the time... The price also has something to do with the quality. U buy cheap shit u get bad quality.

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for making this video because people don't understand the cost of running a business

  • I know I need to get ready to laugh everytime I click on your videos.. You are so damn funny!!!

    ~EMma

  • Love your video you are so right, its alot we have to go through to

    keep our bussiness up and running. Thank you for this video.

  • I love my earrings,i could have bought them from the beauty supply store cheaper, but I chose to buy them from you because of the quality cheaper isn't always better..and if thats what they want tell them to keep it moving! I love your vids

    You keep it 100 (-_~)!

  • It's true people complain about prices when a small business trying to make their way, but nobody complaining when big corporations ripping their asses off!

    Oh & by the way.....Shout out to Angela Fallins out of Windsor Connecticut....the bitch.

  • Girl, some people don't have common sense....I get it !

  • Awesome! I am corporate business....this was a GREAT video....you just taught your audience, "The Marketing Mix". You explained it to the "T", on how good and services reach the consumer. Much success to you. I'm normally a "silent viewer", and didn't realize you had a business...I will be going to your site, to support it! Blessings!

  • For anyone that questions why things cost so much, all you need to give them is one word: Capitalism. Tell them to look it up.

  • Thanks for taking the time to educate because I always love learning new sh@t

  • alright allright allright speak on it selima so true its bizzness its just da way it go

    ttyl

    peace

    aneesah

  • Thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Aldi charges us to borrow a cart until we return it. At every other grocery store you may see a sign that says,"in order to keep prices down return cart." Leaving carts in lot will cause damage to other cars and the.company will charge more on grocery to re cop. Running a business is no joke. If people don't.like my. prices they're not my clientele. I understand you well. Like I said thumbs up!

  • Still look fierce while setting it straight. Let these bitties know!!!! lol

  • Y'ALL HEARD THAT (LOL)!! BREAK IT DOWN FINANCE 101 (LOL)!!!!

  • THANKS FOR THE BREAK DOWN... THEY GON LEARN TODAY!!!!! LOL

  • Break it down to them! Sis!

  • TEACH THAT!!!!

    sis

  • Get it girl. I agree. Some people act like you are supposed to make a .40 cent profit! They wouldn't want that. Can't live off it either. I love miss Platinum and it pisses me off someone did that to her. That girl is so sweet and she is real as hell. She is like you! Which is why I like both of you.

  • Very well spoken; you dropped some serious knowledge and broke it down.

  • Thank you this is so helpful I am starting my own business and this makes so much sense. That's why I love your videos. You keep it real.

  • This is why I love you! THANK YOU!

  • great video girl 

  • I think you broke that down wonderfully!!!! Thanks

  • I am soo, soooo glad you did this video...I have been selling my soaps way cheaper than anyone else to see how they would do and I truly believe that people won't buy because the price is low so they think the quality is not the same as others who have the same product...I have been asked why I sold it so low too...lol...but if the prices were higher then you will have them complaining...I think they understand, they just don't care, they trying to get something for nothing...

  • I still might do it .. Idk tho.. Thanks for the video tho :)

  • Never realized how much it took to run your own small business! I was considering getting into the business but ... I dont think I have the patience. So , kudos to you all!!

  • @misscandicejayy I agree!! i bought a dozen earrings to sell, after selling 5 I got tired. they were easy sales to co-workers but having to convince them to buy and carrying that shit around... girl I am DONE!!!! I'll never get rich with that attitude but what the heck *shrugs*

  • Is there a "do not sell to this person" list somewhere? I am just wondering. They should have some kinda fell safe. It's not perfect, but they need to do something! Plus, there are some people who are gonna complain even if it is free.

  • You so funny. Lol @ Angela Fallins out of Winser, ct. Love this channel.

  • you always gotta take time to shout out the dummies... smh...

  •  Break it down sis, break it down. Finance 101, lol. Get it, got it, gone...lol

  • Great Explanation!

  • luv!!!!

  • AMEN
