Hey everyone 👋 Quick update on how Black Friday and the early Christmas rush are shaping up across POD, Shopify, and Etsy—because things are definitely heating up. For POD sellers, Black Friday came in strong this year. Designs that were moving slowly a few weeks back are suddenly selling again, and anything holiday-themed is already showing an uptick. If you haven’t added new Christmas designs yet, you’re still right on time—shoppers are already hunting for them. On Shopify, traffic this weekend has been solid. Add-to-carts and conversions are climbing, especially for stores that tightened up their offers, bundles, or product pages. Buyers are in that “just get it now” mindset, so even small improvements seem to be paying off. Etsy is also buzzing. Between Black Friday promotions and early gift shopping, personalized items and niche products are seeing a noticeable boost. The platform feels more active than usual, which is a great sign going into the next few weeks. Overall, there’s a lot of momentum right now across all three platforms. If you’re planning to release new designs, test fresh products, or push ads, this is a perfect window to take advantage of the traffic and buyer mindset. Hope everyone’s having a productive weekend—keep the uploads coming and ride the wave while it’s here.

My days usually start early — sometimes before sunrise. I make a list of what needs to be done: respond to messages, check on pending orders, organize my webstore, and make sure everything is running smoothly. It’s not always glamorous — there are moments when I’m juggling multiple things at once, and other times when I just sit back and remind myself why I started. I’ve learned that there’s beauty in the chaos. Every order that goes out, every idea that comes to life, every improvement I make to my website — it’s all a step forward. What people see is the end result, but behind the scenes, it’s a lot of trial and error, quiet focus, and discipline. And honestly, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Bonus tip: 📸 Share a photo of your workspace, laptop, or one of your products in progress.

When I first got into this whole online journey, I kept myself stuck without even realizing it. I was busy “learning,” watching videos, taking notes, planning — but not actually doing anything. I convinced myself I needed the perfect setup before I could start. Perfect idea. Perfect strategy. Perfect timing. And because of that… I stayed in the same place for months. The funny part? I wasn’t lacking information — I was lacking action. Here’s what I eventually realized: 👉 I was waiting to feel ready, but that moment never comes. 👉 I cared too much about what people might think if I failed. 👉 I confused “research” with making progress. 👉 I expected clarity before taking action, not realizing clarity comes from action. So I shifted my approach: 🔥 I stopped obsessing over perfection and just started. 🔥 I set small goals I could actually finish instead of giant ones that overwhelmed me. 🔥 I focused on building habits instead of chasing motivation. 🔥 I treated every attempt as data, not failure. And everything started to change once I moved. I didn’t magically become more talented or more confident — I just stopped waiting for the perfect moment and created my own momentum. If you’re stuck right now, you’re not broken — you’re just paused. Start small, start messy, start uncertain… but just start. Momentum will take care of the rest.

Hey everyone 👋 I just wanted to share a bit of my story with you all. Life as a single mom isn’t always easy — there are days when I feel like I’m juggling a thousand things at once: being a parent, a provider, and still trying to build something meaningful for myself and my child. When I decided to start working from home, it wasn’t because I had everything figured out — it was because I had to. I wanted to be there for my child, to watch the little moments I used to miss, and still find a way to make a living. At first, it was hard. I had no idea how to start, what to sell, or even who would buy from me. But I made a promise to myself — no matter how slow it feels, I won’t stop. And slowly, I started finding my way. Now, I sell digital offers and products from home — it’s not always perfect, but it’s mine. Every sale, every message, every little win reminds me that I’m capable of building something beautiful out of my circumstances. If you’re reading this and you’re in that same place — wondering if you can do it — please know that you can. It’s okay to start small. It’s okay to learn as you go. What matters most is that you start and don’t give up on yourself. I’m still growing, still learning, and still showing up every day — not just for my child, but for the woman I’m becoming. 💪✨

Wanted to quickly share a bit of my journey for those who might be in a similar phase right now. For the last 4-5 months, I struggled with little to no sales, and as a mother of two, It was a frustrating period, especially when i was not not making sales from my brand then i almost switched to 9-5 job so has to take care of my two kids, then i started trying different approaches, refining my offer, and staying consistent despite seeing no immediate return. But I then later stayed in the game. Over time, things started to shift. Sales began coming in gradually, and since last month ending till date, I've hit an average of $4K in revenue. It’s not “overnight success” — it’s been a process of testing, iterating, and staying focused even when results weren’t visible. Grateful to God for the progress, and even more grateful for the lessons learned in the slower months. If you're currently in the building phase — trust the process, refine your strategy, and keep executing. The results do come.
