The Lippy Links Show

This week I sent the package to the winner of my latest giveaway. She actually used Lippy Links wrong and I made a video about it ahahah. It's all good content. I sent off a package to a writer from Hello Magazine. She was really sweet, listen in to what happened. A lovely influencer with a big following made a video about what is in her bag and she put Lippy Links in there. It was a nice surprise...

This week I started another giveaway as I noticed I get more sales and followers when I do. I got contacted by a beauty salon in Connecticut New York which was excited. They asked me to gift them some product for their Client Appreciation Day. Then they asked about wholesaling with them. I was so excited about these opportunities. Then I was scared because I have no idea about wholesaling and pric...

I was thrilled to get orders from people who work at two big brands. One is Huda Beauty in Dubai and the other one is Chanel in Paris. I greatly admire Huda as she has been very vocal about the Palestinian people. It is really brave of her to do this and she has only received more love from the beauty community which is great to see. I have been contacting influencers asking them to put reviews on...

This week I had a tag to win giveaway which brings in more followers and interest. Such a great idea. I did a few lip tutorials to mix up my marketing mix. The videos got some great views. I got contacted by someone in Finland who asked about shipping and then they purchased. Then someone contacted me about shipping being expensive and as a one off I discounted shipping and they purchased. Then it...

A lot of everything happened this week. I did some networking with LMBDW otherwise known as Minded Bitches Drinking Wine. A group started by Jane Lu the CEO of Showpo and the shark on Shark Tank. I continued to get ghosted by my previous one session only mentor. But in a strange twist of events, he had a dog bed which he made his money with and I got contacted by a lady with a dog store on Faceboo...

I got ghosted by my "mentor" This has made me really sad and also angry. I don’t know what I did wrong, I'm not happy about it and it affected me all week but now I am over it. Business counselling is something I have been getting as I have found business quite stressful. It has really helped me a lot so I am grateful for it. Influencers have been making some bad content and I had to tell an influ...

Great news this week! I made heaps of sales! A lot of the orders came from the US. I have checked analytics but I don’t know what caused this. A secret I am keeping for now is my new mentor. I harassed him a little on social media until he relented and we spoke hahaha. He is a multi-millionaire and a good friend of one of the sharks on Shark Tank. He is being very generous by mentoring me for free...

On the podcast this week I talk about making it a priority to find a mentor as this is getting really hard and I need all the advice I can get. Influencers have been posting reels that are getting amazing views. One got 20K views and another got 15K views. I got approached to do a giveaway with another influencer which is nice. Someone gave me an idea about a new concept for Lippy Links. Instead o...

I finally get an answer to my endless issues with login in to Spotify. So annoying. CapCut is an amazing app that I use to made videos for TikTok I can't live without it.   This week I really got my act together and managed to schedule all my posts for the week. A post an influencer made got picked up by Kylie Cosmetics and got reposted as a story.  I had a sale on Grind Final Day. Being in Melbou...

I have been asking influencers for what I want and that has been giving me some great results. Previously I just let people do what they want but that got me ugly dark posts and I don't want those anymore. One of the great videos was an influencer showing how to use Lippy Links and she put some music on the video that included the words I got diamonds and I put this as the heading of the video...

I have stopped sending extra items to influencers because they are photographing Lippy Links as a throw away product and focusing on the extras that are not for sale.    Not sending product to international influencers because I can’t afford it so only sending to local.   I am finding great success with YouTube which is exciting. Watch and subscribe to the channel https://www.youtube.com/@LippyLin...

This week was a short week of work, you know when you get fed up and you just cant? That's what happened. I got inundated with notifications from lawyers which is so annoying they shouldn't have access to my account. This needs to change in the US and Australia. They are equally guilty. I was so embarrassed by missing an order. Unfortunately it got lost in all the lawyers emails. I need to...

Influencers have become very receptive to Lippy Links, more and more are saying yes. Some are making some great content and others very bad which I am not using at all. I am waiting for my first prize to get returned as the prize winner didn't show me the customs fees so its on the way back from Scotland. Find out what I will do next. I got accepted to the private Instagram account of fashion...

This week I was looking for a missing friend! It has been very stressful. I have a why question which is so disappointing this far. Tik Tok is incredibly strict and it has not been showing some of my videos but now I know so I am avoiding it but it's difficult. Also I am using an app called Pumper that bundles Lippy Links together on the one page so that is helpful. Whether you're a fellow...

A new week and more work to do on my startup. The to do list is frightening so I have decided to simply things and do one thing a day as doing too many things once doesn't, yield good results. I worked on discount codes, fixed AfterPay, finally fixed the cart abandonment emails, has suspicious activity on Facebook ads so they locked my payments and I absolutely hate TikTok. It really isn't...

So this journey has been far more difficult than I ever thought but I am not beaten yet! It's been a really shitty last few weeks. I launched on the day I went to a funeral, I got two sales, the first one a refund and the second one from a friend. I have 1 podcast listener so thank you to that person whoever you are. I am just burnt out and I want to quit but this isn't a race so I am goin...

What a hectic week it was. On the morning of launch I had to go to a funeral, then once I got home had to fix the website as it had many errors. I had issues with shipping labels which delayed delivery, issues with the bundles being full price and not discounted and problems with the email pop up that said confusing things. I got banned from TikTok for contacting influencers via DMs. I got a lot o...

It's almost like four weddings and a funeral. I will be launching soon but unfortunately on launch day I will be at a funeral. You can't write this stuff haha In the week before Lippy Links launches I have been doing all the bits and pieces needed and it's a lot. I am not prepared. I need a few months to get the website and everything right so please bare with during my launch phase. I...

Welcome to The Lippy Links Show. Join me as I navigate the exciting and challenging path of launching my beauty accessory that I invented called Lippy Links. While I have been promoting my waitlist I have met the loveliest people on Instagram who have Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian accounts. I have approached Greek newspapers for promotion since I am Greek and been pay...

Getting closer to launching so dealing with lots of influencers to get Lippy Links out and get them making content to post! I have been uploading heaps of videos on Tik Tok and some are doing really well. Trying to figure out shoutouts so other accounts can help promote my brand. Got the giveaway down. I just realised its not a competition it's a giveaway hahaah. I have said competition in all...

Welcome to a new episode of The Lippy Links Show podcast. This week I talk about the influencers I have contacted all around the world and how Australia Post is doing an incredible job of getting the packages there so fast and leaving me in uncomfortable situations hahah. I have found that not a lot goes down in the DM's because a lot of influencers have them blocked and I am not messaging mic...

Welcome to The Lippy Links Show Podcast. Today I chat about posting my products out to influencers. It took me forever, what a process, but I hope I have the process down now and it will be easier going forward. I updated my About Me page and added a lot of items there that wouldn't normally be on that page because I didn't know where else to put it hahaha. One item that I have added is th...

Welcome to a new episode of The Lippy Links Show Podcast. This week I started contacting influencers overseas and had a lot of disappointing results. I found out who my real friends were. Patents were a surprise issue after following up to get an update. Again a few odds and ends but still there is so much work to do until launch. Getting there though. Embark on this journey with me as I candidly...

Welcome to a new episode of Lippy Links where I take you through my journey of launching Lippy Links a product I invented. This week was a horrible week because Shopify is just the worst to set up a website hahah I had a doctors appointment for my eye and I got bad news. I heard some news about Kylie Jenner that I didn't like, I copied some information from another Australian store that and de...
