We had the good fortune of connecting with Michael and Hope McCree and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Michael and Hope, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
We started our Tiktok account just as a way of creating memories and to bond with our children; Jada (15), Maci (11) and Teyon (10). We posted a dance video on New Year’s Eve 2020.. We woke up the next day to a viral video with hundreds of thousands of views and a magnitude of new followers. We continued making videos, some doing really well. After monetizing our account, we started receiving brand deals and partnerships. It honestly started off as just a hobby.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As content creators, we are so excited about the endless amount of opportunities ahead of us. Making partnerships with major brands and providing quality videos for these companies are a major focus for us. What started out as dancing videos for fun, has turned into a family business. We still work full time jobs, so that has been somewhat challenging when it comes to time management. After a long day of work, we have to come home and film promo videos, answer emails, or whatever else needs to be done. The best way we have found to overcome these everyday challenges is with a great, structured schedule and teamwork. Our family of 5 has bonded and had so much fun producing content for our social media accounts. We believe having a strong family bond and letting our kids show their creative side is what has aided in our success. We look forward to what the future holds for us.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
A fun week with the RoyalCreeFam might consist of a hike up Crowder’s Mountain where we would enjoy nature and the awesome views awaiting us at the top.. We may also visit the U.S National White Water Center in Charlotte, NC, where we would enjoy white water rafting and ropes courses. If you had never been to the area, we may even take a trip towards the coast, either Charleston or Myrtle Beach. For dining, we would love to take you to our favorite Japanese spot right near Lake Wylie, SC; Cherry Sushi.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
We, the Royalcreefam would love to give a big thanks and shoutout to all of our followers and supporters, especially on Tiktok. The love is real! Thanks so much.
