Welcome to Ecomm for Creative Business, I'm Kira! I own CreateAlong.com, a popular polymer clay tools and tutorial site. There, I have created over $3 million in sales on products and digital downloads. I have a top 1% Etsy shop (actually it's in the top .3%- having outsold 97.7% of shops). I'm here to share everything I know about growing and sustaining a creative business. I've owned 3 B+M shops, sold summits, courses, a magazine in both print and digital versions for over 5 years monthly, I have a monthly tutorial club and a snail mail club, plus my product line. I've had posts go viral on IG (6.6 million views!) and I'm here for all of the content, tech, software, sales, and audience building questions. Let's start things off with introductions! Share where you are in the world, what you make, and a pic of your workspace so we can get connected. I'll start!

They re 88% right…. Good odds. I watched several predictions from last year blow up - fisherman, grandpa, cherries…. Take a look and start planning. How can you ride a trend or two? https://business.pinterest.com/pdf/pinterest-predicts/2026-marketing-playbook/

I just want to share this from my heart, Since I joined this Skool platform, I’ll be honest… I didn’t see the results I was hoping for at first. Month after month, nothing really changed. From January till November, life was tough. Very tough. There were days I felt stuck, confused, and frustrated. I tried my best, but things were not working. It affected not just me, but and my family too. There were moments I questioned myself, moments I felt like giving up, moments I couldn’t even sleep properly because of financial pressure 😭 But something changed last year December. For the first time ever, I made my first $1,000 online. I can’t fully explain how emotional that moment was for me. It felt like a door finally opened after a whole year of struggle. After months of tears, stress, and silent prayers, December showed me that patience truly pays. Today, I’m genuinely grateful I didn’t quit. Grateful I stayed. Grateful I joined this platform, even when it felt like nothing was happening. If you’re reading this and you’re still struggling, please don’t give up. Sometimes the breakthrough comes when you least expect it. This month reminded me that things can change, even after a very hard year. I’m just thankful… truly thankful 🙏❤️
