Here's a step-by-step guide to help you begin:<br /><h3>Basic Equipment</h3>Astrophotography might sound like an expensive hobby, but beginners can start with surprisingly simple equipment. The essential tools include a DSLR or mirrorless camera, a sturdy tripod, and a wide-angle lens. The camera allows you to control key settings like ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, which are critical for capturing faint celestial objects. If you're just starting out, even a smartphone with a good camera can be used, provided you download specialised apps such as StarTracker or SkyView, which help in aligning and tracking celestial objects.<br />  <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="109921023" title="Here’s what falling inside a black hole would look like, according to a NASA supercomputer simulation" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>For those ready to invest a bit more, a wide-angle lens (14mm to 24mm) is ideal because it captures more of the sky in each shot. A sturdy tripod is non-negotiable; it keeps the camera steady during long exposure shots, preventing blurriness. As you advance, consider purchasing a star tracker, which compensates for the Earth's rotation, allowing for even longer exposures without star trails. This can be particularly helpful in locations with minimal light pollution, which are abundant in rural India<br /><h3>Choosing the Right Location</h3>In astrophotography, location is everything. The clearer and darker the sky, the better your shots will be. Light pollution from cities is the biggest enemy, as it washes out the stars and makes it difficult to capture the <keyword id="20080902" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Milky-Way" source="keywords">Milky Way</keyword> or faint celestial objects. India, however, offers some excellent locations that are relatively free from light pollution. Ladakh, Spiti Valley, and the deserts of Rajasthan are renowned for their crystal-clear skies. These places, far from urban centres, provide ideal conditions for both sky watching and astrophotography.<br /><br />However, if travelling to these remote areas isn’t feasible, consider venturing to the outskirts of your city or visiting a local hill station. Even areas just a couple of hours outside major cities like Bengaluru or Pune can offer much darker skies. Additionally, checking weather forecasts and moon phases is crucial before heading out. A clear night with no moon (New Moon phase) is perfect for capturing stars and other deep-sky objects<br /><h3>Perfect Timing</h3>Timing is crucial when it comes to astrophotography. The best time to photograph the night sky is during the new moon phase, when the absence of moonlight allows fainter stars and celestial objects to be visible. In India, the Milky Way is most visible between April and September, making this period ideal for astrophotography. The core of the Milky Way, which is the most photogenic part, is visible just after sunset during these months.<br /><br />Moreover, consider the time of night as well. The hours immediately after sunset and before sunrise are known as the "golden hours" in <keyword id="22383" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="photography" source="Orion">photography</keyword>. However, for capturing the night sky, "astronomical twilight" (the period when the sky is dark enough for all astronomical observations) is the best. You can use apps like Stellarium or SkySafari to find the exact times and positions of celestial objects based on your location<br />  <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112647806" title="Investments made in space program have benefited society, says ISRO Chairman Dr S Somnath" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><h3><keyword id="20890294" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="camera-settings" source="keywords">Camera Settings</keyword></h3>Getting the camera settings right is essential for capturing stunning astrophotographs. Start by setting your camera to manual mode, which allows you to control exposure settings independently. Use a wide aperture (f/2.8 or lower) to allow as much light as possible to hit the sensor. Set the ISO between 1600 and 3200; while higher ISOs make the sensor more sensitive to light, they can also introduce noise, so it's important to find a balance.<br /><br />Shutter speed is another critical setting. A good starting point is 15-30 seconds; longer exposures capture more light, but if you go beyond 30 seconds, the Earth's rotation will cause stars to appear as trails rather than points. To avoid blur from camera shake, use a remote shutter release or set a short timer on the camera. Finally, focus manually on a bright star, zoom in using the live view mode, and fine-tune the focus until the star appears as a sharp point of light<br /><h3>Post-Processing</h3>Post-processing is where your astrophotography truly comes to life. Even with perfect settings and conditions, raw images might look underwhelming straight out of the camera. This is where software like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop comes in. Start by adjusting the exposure and contrast to bring out the details in the Milky Way or other celestial objects. Noise reduction is also crucial, especially if you use a high ISO setting. This helps to clean up the grainy appearance that can detract from the image’s clarity.<br /><br />You can also enhance the colours in your image by adjusting the white balance and saturation. Tweaking these settings can make the Milky Way pop against the dark sky. For those serious about astrophotography, stacking multiple images is a technique used to reduce noise and increase detail. There are free software options like DeepSkyStacker that allow you to combine several exposures into one high-quality image<br />  <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112569406" title="ISRO targets first Gaganyaan mission launch by December: Chairman" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><h2>Sky Watching: The Beginner’s Guide</h2>But if you’re more of an observer than a capturer, why not just sky watch? Sky watching is the more laid-back cousin of astrophotography and requires minimal equipment. Here’s how you can start:<br /><br /><ol><li>Know Your Sky: Begin by familiarising yourself with constellations and prominent stars. Mobile apps like SkySafari and Star Walk can help you identify celestial objects and track events like meteor showers.</li><li>Best Viewing Spots in India: Urban areas are often too bright for proper sky watching. Instead, head to rural areas or designated dark-sky parks. Popular spots include Coorg in Karnataka, Lonar Crater in Maharashtra, and Nubra Valley in Ladakh.</li><li>What to Look For: Start with easy targets like the Moon, planets (especially Jupiter and Saturn), and bright constellations. As you grow more confident, you can look for fainter objects like nebulae and galaxies using binoculars or a small telescope.</li><li>Join a Community: Connect with local astronomy clubs or online communities. This not only enhances your knowledge but also offers opportunities to participate in group sky-watching events and astrophotography workshops.</li></ol>Whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or a curious beginner, National Space Day is the perfect time to look up and appreciate the vastness of our universe. With India's growing interest in space, there has never been a better time to start your journey into the night sky. So grab your camera or simply your eyes, and begin exploring the cosmos from your own backyard.<br />

National Space Day: Here’s the beginner’s guide to astrophotography and sky watching in India

Capturing photos and videos can be made easier by using a tripod. A tripod helps reduce camera movement and lets you click photographs with long exposure, low-light conditions, panoramic view and others. For videos, tripods help prevent any shakes that would be caused if the camera was in your hands. If you are a beginner and looking for a tripod for your DSLR, here are the best options available on Amazon. <br /><div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="83303493" title="Best affordable tripod for mobile phones" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><br /><bulletContentEmbed name="B0776ZTF2K" columns="1"><bulletContentHeading name="B0776ZTF2K_head"><columnHead col="1"><columnHeadThumb>    <div type="image" title="Recommended" msid="86163738" hostid="261"></div></columnHeadThumb><columnHeadTitle>B0776ZTF2K</columnHeadTitle></columnHead></bulletContentHeading><bulleteContentBody name="B0776ZTF2K_body"><bulletContentRow name="B0776ZTF2K_4874496980395046"><bulletContentRowHeading><bulletContentRowHead col="1">Benro T560</bulletContentRowHead></bulletContentRowHeading><bulletContentRowBody><bulletContentRowCell col="1">The Benro T60 tripod comes with a 3-way flexible pan head with tilt swivel motion that can provide 360-degree rotation.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Zulie Rane makes six figures as a content creator. </li><li>She says she works as little as possible and loves her life way more than workng her 9 to 5. </li></ul><p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/content-creator-6-figures-first-5-steps-2023-5">The first five steps to becoming a six figure content creator are very beginner friendly</a>. You should set up your platforms, your profiles, and your mailing list. You should have some ideas for content. You should become very familiar with how you spend your time. </p><p>Those five things are all you need to start your content creator journey. </p><p>However, at some point — maybe in a month, maybe in six months, maybe in a year and a half like me  —  you'll get to the point where you feel you can give <em>more</em>. You want <em>more</em>. You're ready to scale up. And now, you have the bandwidth and expertise to do that.</p><p>This next section details that stage. Jump in when you're ready.</p><h2>1. Come up with a brand </h2><p>Your brand is who you are as a creator.</p><p>Your brand is the sum of everything you are and post online. Your brand is your content, your profiles, your attitude, and the value you give to your audience and fans. </p><p>A brand does the very important work of conveying two things: who you are professionally, and the fact that you are professional. </p><p>You don't need a brand at the start, so it's easy to miss in the beginning. But when you're burgeoning into a full-time content creator, you absolutely will require a personal brand.</p><h4>The components of your brand.</h4><p>There are three components of your brand. You'll need a color scheme, a logo, and a bio. </p><p><strong>Color scheme:</strong> Choose your color scheme based on the mood you like to evoke. My color scheme is floral and bright, for instance, because I like colors that pop and my audience thinks of me as a bright, energetic creator. This will go on your website, your mailing list, your merch, your channel artwork, everywhere. </p><p><strong>Your logo: </strong>Your logo is an extension of your color scheme. I hired a designer to help me with a logo.</p><p><strong>Bio:</strong> Your bio should be 50–75 words that describe who you are as a creator  —  Whimsical? Fun? Educational?  —  and what your audience can expect from you, such as topics, frequency, and platforms.</p><p>Don't brand as a beginner. I made that mistake. I branded myself as a cat mom. Now, I have migrated my niche a little bit and I know I rarely write about my cats anymore. I had to re-do a lot of my branding work to make more sense of the value I offer.</p><h2>2. Give fans a way to give you more money </h2><p>This is such an exciting stage in any creator's journey! Your <em>audience</em> will be giving you some money through ad revenue, or royalties. Your audience watches your YouTube videos, reads your articles, and likes your Instagram posts.</p><p>But your <em>fans</em> will love what you do and want to give you more money. You should begin giving some thought to how you can do this.</p><h4>What can you give them?</h4><p>This differs from creator to creator. Some fans will want exclusive, backstage content. Others will want 1:1 time with you, or access to you, like through a private Slack channel. Still others will want courses or ebooks.</p><p>For me, it made the most sense to go the educational route. I offer coaching, consultations, and courses. I used to offer a Patreon, but shut that down when my time tracking showed me it was an ineffective way for me to communicate with my fans and earn money.</p><p>This is not a way to scam your fans. A lot of creators feel dodgy asking fans for money without realizing that it's a two-way street. </p><p>Your fans want more from you. Providing exclusive content for them allows you to give it.</p><h4>How to choose the extra content you sell.</h4><p>Pick the type of content that makes sense with your brand and the content you post, as well as what your audience is asking of you. For me, many people wanted to learn what I know, so it made sense to do a course. For you, you may find that your Instagram fans want printouts of your artwork. They may want the chance to buy exclusive artwork before anyone else, or unique prints.</p><p>Whatever it is, create multiple tiers to cater to the various levels of fans. You may have casual fans who want to give you $15-$20, but you will also have those who want to give you $1000s. </p><p>This requires a lot of self-belief. It may feel unrealistic at this stage, but you need to know that your fans are there. You are serving your fans by giving top-tier knowledge or value, and by giving them the opportunity to give back. </p><p>Believe it because you are worth it. </p><h2>3.  Secure a proper home office</h2><p>OK, when I started my content creation journey, I did <em>all</em> my content creation sitting on the floor of my living room, with my laptop on my coffee table. It worked! It worked for over a year. No complaints. I wrote and I filmed and I posted from that spot. My <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TxnGjghzj4&amp;t=1s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most popular YouTube video</a> to date is filmed there on that humble carpeting.</p><p>But about a year later, I needed more (and my knees were yelling at me). You will too. You'll need a place to be creative uninterrupted by cats, partners, or construction workers. Especially if you're filming or creating other visual content, it's critical.</p><h4>The bare minimum for a home office.</h4><p>All you really need for a home office as a content creator is a desk, a phone, and a closed-off area. When we moved to Boston, I picked out our flat spatially based on the bright, sunlit office I knew would be my studio.</p><p>You don't <em>need</em> anything else. You don't need a ring light, a picture-perfect backdrop, fancy headphones, or a fancy keyboard. You might want little accouterments that help you get into the creative zone  —  for me, this is a pencil, a notebook, and a small potted plant  —  but you don't need them.</p><p>The upshot is no matter what kind of content creation you're doing, it's going to be a lot easier to get it done if you have a quiet area dedicated to helping you create, set up the way you like.</p><h4>Identify your level-up needs.</h4><p>Your needs will depend on the kind of content, and how you can level up. For example, when I was getting better at YouTube, I <em>needed</em> a better camera, a tripod, and a microphone. I was ready to take my YouTube content to the next level. These were worth investing in.</p><p>If you're not sure how much to budget for your level-up needs, look at how much that channel is earning for you at this point. I used my YouTube earnings and put them towards YouTube-geared content.</p><p>Look for other successful creatives in your niche and platform. What helps them succeed? What would give you an edge? Successful Twitch streamers often have brightly lit backgrounds. Professional authors often get fancy headshots done for their bio.</p><h2>4. Identify ways to improve </h2><p>When you're a beginner content creator, you suck. No offense, it's just true. I also sucked when I was a beginner.</p><p>None of us really take classes in how to create content  —  we just start creating content because we like it. So in the beginning, there's no use looking for specific areas to improve. You need to improve at pretty much all of it.</p><p>At this stage, though, you'll have a much better idea of what you need to go to the next level beyond things. Your craft is good, but you'll notice areas that could use polishing. Your job is then to find ways to polish</p><h4>How to improve your craft.</h4><p>There are three ways to do so: research, competitor analysis, and outsourcing.</p><ol><li><p>Research. First, you can <strong>take courses or do independent research</strong>. There is so much rich information out there in books and videos, for free or paid, that can help you do what you need to learn. For instance, I noticed I could improve my SEO skills this way, so I began independent study in SEO.</p></li><li><p><strong>Competitor analysis is the second possibility</strong>. At this point, you should be aware of the other people in your circles. What are they doing better than you? What could you learn from their success? For example, I noticed my competitor/colleague Nick Wolny does an awesome job launching products to his mailing list. I learned from him, and applied the lessons to my own content creation.</p></li><li><p><strong>Outsourcing is a third avenue for improvement</strong>. There will be things you may not want to buy or learn, and in that case, other people have the skills you lack. By now, you should have some income that helps you hire the people with the skills to help improve your craft — for instance, I hired someone to design my website and logo. This also helps you scale up.</p></li></ol><p><em>Zulie Rane is a full timc content creator. </em></p>

The best part? This powerful camera is relatively easy to use.</strong></p></li></ul><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The digital camera market is in the midst of a significant change. Smartphone cameras are taking control of the low end of the market, which is fueling development of the best DSLR cameras. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Digital camera makers are searching for ways to differentiate their cameras from smartphone cameras, and the best way to do it is by providing high-end image quality and performance features that a smartphone camera cannot match. Buying a DSLR camera (short for digital single lens reflex) is a great way to achieve this separation.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We at </span><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-6-vs-dslr-and-point-and-shoot-2015-2/%23here-are-the-contenders-starting-from-the-left-is-the-iphone-6-the-canon-5d-mark-ii-and-the-canon-powershot-sd1400-is-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Business Insider showed the performance difference</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in a hands-on test between the iPhone 6, a DSLR, and a point-and-shoot camera a couple of years ago. Certainly, things have changed since then, and the iPhone 7 Plus and other phones with bokeh effects have really upped the smartphone photography game. However, DSLRs are still king in several categories based on a <a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/12/mini-shootout-can-iphone-7s-bag-of-tricks-compete-with-a-real-dslr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">test by Ars Technica</a>, and serious photographers can't imagine life without them.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Below, we'll get into why you should consider a DSLR camera and how to choose the best one for you. After we go over the basics, we'll move on to our top picks.</span></p><h2>DSLR cameras vs. simple cameras</h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DSLR cameras base their primary design features on 35mm SLR cameras from the days of film. It is a tried and true design for a camera, but it does end up being a bit bulkier than simple cameras. However, the performance benefits of the DSLR are easy to see once you've tested both types of cameras, even for a short period of time.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As discussed in Photography Life, a </span><a href="https://photographylife.com/dslr-vs-point-and-shoot-camera/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">DSLR camera separates itself from a simple camera</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> through three primary features:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Interchangeable lenses: </strong>DSLR cameras have interchangeable lenses, meaning you can give them different capabilities just by swapping out the lens. A simple fixed-lens camera has the lens embedded in the camera body.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Big image sensors: </strong>The image sensor on a DSLR camera is going to be larger in physical size than that of a simple point-and-shoot camera. Larger sensors pick up more details in a scene and work better in low light than smaller sensors. Adorama has a nice table </span><a href="https://www.adorama.com/alc/faq-what-are-the-different-camera-sensor-sizes" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">comparing image sensor sizes</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The physical size of an image sensor is different than the number of megapixels it can record.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Fast image processors: </strong>DSLRs have fast image processors, which allow them to offer minimal shutter lag and delays between shots. A simple camera often will have a sluggish performance, which could cause you to miss a photo.</span></li></ul><h2>Buying a DSLR camera</h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most DSLR cameras will range in price from around $500 to $5,000. Cameras aimed at professional shooters will carry an even higher price point. Older and used DSLRs will be available below the $500 threshold.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When looking for a DSLR camera, you'll find that they're sold in three different configurations.</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Body only: </strong>If the DSLR is listed as a body-only camera, that means it ships with no lenses. Obviously, the camera will not work without lenses, so this seems like an odd way to sell the DSLR. But for those who already own some compatible lenses, this is a cheaper way to buy a DSLR camera body. Individual interchangeable lenses can fit on several different camera bodies, as long as there's compatibility both ways.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>With lens kits: </strong>DSLRs that come with a lens are sold with one or two compatible lenses that offer basic features - they're called kit lenses. It's the most cost-effective way to purchase a camera and lens, but these lenses won't yield extensive zoom or wide angle capabilities.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>With component kits: </strong>If you select a DSLR lens and component kit, you'll receive a basic lens, a tripod, a memory card, and some other components needed to get started with photography. For those who are just starting with DSLRs, this can be an inexpensive way to go, but you also run the risk of spending money on components that you don't really need.</span></li></ul><h2>Here are our picks for the best DSLR cameras you can buy:</h2><ul class="summary-list"><li>Best DSLR camera overall: <a href="https://amzn.to/2EkkP4Z" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikon D850</a></li><li>Best mid-range DSLR camera: <a href="https://amzn.to/2LjMdBv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikon D7500</a></li><li>Best beginner DSLR camera: <a href="https://amzn.to/2LqCYjm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikon D3500</a></li><li>Best high-resolution DSLT camera: <a href="https://amzn.to/2qfj6nk">Sony A99 II</a></li><li>Best sports DSLR camera: <a href="https://amzn.to/2oMQ1iN" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canon EOS 7D Mark II</a></li></ul><p><em>Updated by Owen Burke on 12/18/2018: Updated our best overall pick from the Nikon D810 to the D850, our best mid-range from the D7200 to the D7500, and replaced our beginner pick with the Nikon D3500.

Especially online, she says being authentic to yourself is the best way to gain traction and build a community.</strong></li><li><strong>This is her story, as told to freelance writer Nasha Smith.</strong></li></ul><p>I used to cook for my family a lot, and I enjoyed taking photos of the spread and posting them on Twitter and my personal Instagram page. This was back when these apps first came into existence and also during a phase where I would just eat a lot of fruits. One time, a photo I posted got <a href="https://twitter.com/wakewithmarley/status/1089585003120521217?s=21">100 retweets</a>, even though I had zero followers at the time. </p><p>In January 2019, I created a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wakeupwithmarley/?hl=en">food page</a> on Instagram. I started off posting fruit plates and small recipes like hibiscus tea with ginger, lime, and cinnamon. I also posted small snacks like fried plantain and tapas, and then began sharing full dinner plates as well. I can't even explain how I started to gain traction — I think people just gravitated towards me authentically sharing what I loved. </p><p>But I didn't consider myself a 'fruit influencer' until I received a PR box from kitchenware company Imusa. I was very amused when I saw myself addressed as this on the label, but I decided to own it. I searched for the hashtag on Instagram and found one guy who was using it,  and he agreed to let me have it. </p><p>The term started to spread in popularity in April after BET reposted our <a href="https://twitter.com/BET/status/1246924416753246209">#DontRushChallenge</a>. </p><h2><strong>Although there are plenty of fitness, beauty, and lifestyle influencers, as a fruit influencer I don't fit easily into those categories.</strong></h2><p><strong><div type="image" title="Marley Mauvais" height="1066" width="1422" msid="79310338" hostid="261"></div></strong></p><p>My Instagram is a plant-based community for beginners. I have free recipes, products for sale, and share my own daily inspiration. I distribute a lot of information — that's the heart of my business. </p><p>Sometimes I can get extremely overwhelmed with the number of people who ask me questions, ask me to clarify something, or suggest I post a recipe. I get at least 100 DMs a day and that's just if I don't post anything. It kills me to be unable to reply to everyone, as I truly love interacting with my followers. But I absolutely, positively will always be the only person talking to my followers through my personal account. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to understand what people need, how they are receiving me, or if my content is effective. </p><p>The brand started by accident, but it grew because there was a living person behind it. People went through my moods, highs, and lows with me, and I think that worked to my advantage to build an authentic community.</p><h2><strong>Within two months of growing my Instagram, I realized I needed a website.</strong> </h2><div type="image" title="Marley Mauvais" height="1026" width="1365" msid="79310340" hostid="261"></div><p>I was inspired to launch a website in March of 2019, after people kept asking for more information or where to find the products in my posts.  For example, I would post about hibiscus tea, and a follower would ask where to find the leaves. So I would ship them some, only charging about $5 for shipping. But then I realized that was costing me a lot. So then I decided to find them wholesale, package them up, and sell them.  </p><p>We have this Haitian remedy made with honey and various spices that we use for coughs, respiratory problems, congestion, and allergies. The recipe is free online but for some people the idea of making it is intimidating. So I decided to <a href="https://www.wakeupwithmarley.com/product-page/caribbean-remedy-1">make</a> and sell it. I would like to eventually partner with a local bee farm and people who organically produce the ingredients I need.</p><p><em><strong>Read more</strong>: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/job-diary-dating-app-profile-ghostwriter-helps-clients-online-2020-11">I charge clients up to $2,500 a month to ghostwrite their dating profiles and connect with potential matches. Here's my advice for perfecting your dating profile, and why I never message people on the weekends.</a></em></p><h2><strong>My expenses fluctuate tremendously, but I spend roughly $3,000 a month on my business.</strong></h2><p><strong><div type="image" title="Marley Mauvais" height="1365" width="1820" msid="79310342" hostid="261"></div></strong></p><p>This cost includes paying my two assistants, one who works with me in person and one who works virtually, as well as all of the supplies needed to stock my website and ship customers' orders.</p><p>I live and work in New Jersey, so I travel to New York City every weekend to purchase my exotic fruits. In terms of equipment, I use my phone to record videos and take photos, with lighting and tripods I purchased on Amazon.</p><p>I buy most of my ingredients and materials in bulk like mason jars, bay leaves, cloves, turmeric powder, limes, ginger, garlic, and onions. I also invest in nylon nut bags, which is a strainer like a cheesecloth for making your own almond or oat milk. I only offer these in a higher quality material on my site, so they last for years. For shipping, I use the free USPS boxes offered to businesses. I put hand written letters to every single order. I also have to spend on silk ribbons for labeling the jars, labels, filler for the boxes, and tape. I go through a lot of tape. </p><h2><strong>My business is primarily self-financed.</strong></h2><p>I was an early bitcoin investor. I didn't make millions, but definitely enough to provide a big sense of security for myself. Two of my family members also made a small investment of a couple thousand dollars to help my business get started, but everything else has been self-financed.</p><h2><strong>On average, I make about $8,000 per month. In September of this year, I made $17,000 total.</strong> </h2><div type="image" title="Marley Mauvais" height="2274" width="3024" msid="79310346" hostid="261"></div><p>It was the scariest thing, because I've never made that much in such a short amount of time. Still, there are other months when I've been in the negative, which can be really tough, so I do my best to embrace the ups to help weather the downs.</p><p>Entrepreneurship, especially content creation, is hard. Most of my sales come from requested items that I post on my website, and appearances at schools like St. John's University, Skidmore College, and Baruch College, where I talk about plant based cooking or do a food demo. </p><p>As far as influencing, I am slowly working my way into paid sponsored posts and deals with more food brands. The brands I have worked with so far have sent me boxes of stuff and told me I was free to do what I want with it. But that was when I only had 1,000 followers. Now I am over 40,000. </p><h2><strong>People think being an influencer is just posting on social media, but the whole process is very time consuming.</strong></h2><div type="image" title="Marley Mauvais" height="1365" width="1820" msid="79310349" hostid="261"></div><p>As an influencer, I don't get paid vacation or time off. It's a full-time job. I work a solid 12 hours every day, from the moment I wake up until I physically crash around 9:30 or 10 p.m. </p><p>Usually I wake up before sunrise, and then make whatever I'm feeling that day. Every single post has been spontaneous. I realized that I'm not as productive without having the space to be spontaneous. Everything that has ever been on my page came from a place of 'I'm in the mood to make this today.' What I have learned is that posting more than once a day on Instagram is horrific for your timeline especially as you grow. I did get to a point where I was posting twice a day but I saw that I wasn't being received well. My audience was being overloaded. So everything has been extremely intuitive posting wise.</p><p>Usually on Mondays and Tuesdays I produce and package my orders — mainly my Haitian remedy because it's an order that's food, so it's not something I can package on a Friday and then take forever to ship. Some days I make 100, others I might make 10.</p><p>I set goals on a weekly basis with my assistants of what we need to accomplish by the next week. I'm also advertising for interns and production assistants, but they won't start until January. I plan to be more intentional with YouTube posts, so I'll definitely need help with production. </p><p><em><strong>Read more</strong>: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/entrepreneurship-toolkit-apps-services-and-docs-to-start-a-business">THE ENTREPRENEUR'S TOOL KIT: The best apps, services, and documents all first-time founders need to start a business</a></em></p><h2><strong>My advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is go with your flow.</strong></h2><p><strong><div type="image" title="Marley Mauvais" height="1026" width="1365" msid="79310353" hostid="261"></div></strong></p><p>I think it is important to identify the way that you work, how you are productive, and what works for you. We always see articles saying things like, 'This is what Bill Gates or Oprah does every morning.' And it sets the tone for people to assume that's what they need to be doing to be successful. Nothing I have done has been successful until I surrendered to my own flow. Being able to recognize and accept how you work is extremely important.</p><p><em>Nasha Smith is a St. Lucian freelance writer covering sports, entertainment, health, lifestyle, and travel.
