Behind the Scenes: Building a Real Etsy Shop From Monday, I’m starting something new inside the community and I’m really excited to share it with you 🤍 This is not a course and there’s nothing to keep up with. It’s a relaxed, honest behind the scenes series where I’ll be building my Etsy shop in real time and talking you through it as I go. I want to make this a realistic look at how I run my shop with a full time career, as a single mum and as a woman just trying to make her way through life. I will be doing some of this through voxer, live videos, and posts. I’ll be sharing: • my real Etsy data • what I’m working on each week • the decisions I make and why • what works, what doesn’t, and what I change We’ll start on Monday by looking at my current Etsy stats and starting point, so you can see exactly where I’m at. If you learn best by watching, listening, and asking questions as things unfold — this series is for you 💛 Monday feels like the perfect time to begin 🌱 Let me know how excited you are about this series because I think it is going to be awesome.

Hey lovely creators 👋 Before I build out the full Foundation section of our training space (it’s coming, I promise!), I want to take a moment to connect properly. The truth is, the best way for me to create resources that really help you is to understand exactly where you’re at right now. We’re all on this Etsy journey together, but we’re not all at the same stop on the line. 🚂 So I’d love for you to share a little about your story below: ✨ Where are you right now in your Etsy journey? (just starting, few listings, growing your shop, etc.) ✨ What’s one thing you feel you need most help with right now? (SEO, confidence, mockups, consistency, etc.) ✨ And what do you hope being part of this community will bring you? Your answers will not only help me shape the upcoming lessons and challenges, they’ll help you connect with others who get it. Here’s your little action step: 💡 Comment below with your 3 answers. 💡 Read one other member’s reply and leave an encouraging word. That’s how we start building real connections here. Because the moral of this space is simple: 👉 You don’t have to do this alone. We’re here to learn, share and grow together, one steady, confident step at a time.

laides I meant to put this up in here way before my tea like 4 hours ago! As some will know I put it in the wrong group🤪 Luckily @Heather Boers was. Dry understanding and just went with it. 😁 This is my view from the car this morning. What is the weather like for you? And it’s freezing in the classroom.

I’m back at work tomorrow 😭 I’ve absolutely loved having more time to spend here in our community 💬💛 I’ll still be moving forward with you on this journey, and I’ll always reply to questions — whether you message me directly or post in the community. Posting here is always encouraged though, because learning together and sharing ideas really does make a difference ✨ Our weekly posts are returning: 🌱 Monday – Setting Goals 📊 Tuesday – Trend Report 🤍 Wednesday – Midweek Check-In 🛠 Thursday – Tips & Tricks 🎉 Friday – Fabulous Friday (sharing our wins!) I’m also going to add a monthly chit-chat to the calendar — everyone is welcome to join ☕💬 If you’d also like a monthly Q&A session, let me know in the comments and I’ll add that too. I’m really excited about our Annual Planning Session tomorrow night — all are welcome! 🗓✨ After that, we’ll be moving into a new series: Grow Your Shop With Me! 🌱 (where I’ll be building my clipart shop and sharing the process along the way) So glad you’re all here 🤍

Ladies I like this what do you all think? LINKS IN A CONVERSATION... organically/naturally... if someone is asking about what you do, asking about something that you offer, if you know about something specifically helpful that is a solution that is being sought out, it's OK to gently share a link with more info. You don't have to dance around it if you're sharing respectfully! Especially if it just happens sometimes and is not a pattern of posting it over and over in many comments. My point is to not ban them completely just make it relevant and appreciate.
