A 14-year-old entrepreneur from the South Bend area has built a fast-growing online following with her slime and squishy products. In just 23 days, her Facebook page reached more than 21,500 followers and pulled in 6.1 million video views, a pace that few small businesses see in their first year.

The teenager runs the operation herself, from making the slime to filming the short videos that draw viewers in. Her posts show the mixing, stretching and squishing that fans of the product enjoy watching, and the steady stream of clips has turned into a reliable way to reach new customers. Orders have followed the views, turning a hobby into a working business with real revenue.

The growth stands out for its speed. Reaching six million views in three weeks usually takes a team, paid promotion or an existing audience. Here, it came from short, simple videos posted consistently and aimed at people who already love slime content.

For now, the young owner is balancing school with running the page and filling orders. She has not shared specific plans for expanding, but the numbers suggest demand is there. Local observers say her story shows how a niche product and steady posting can build an audience quickly, even for someone still in middle school.
