Hello fam, I've been very ill and resting for the past couple of weeks. I think maybe I have the flu :( Anyway- as I sit here unable to gel my thoughts together into something coherent, I want to hear from YOU. What will help? Don't be shy, it will help me craft content that will actually help you and your business!

Not sure if this is the right category, but I'm trying to figure out which option is best as a starter, eg is hobby sufficient enough. And if pro is worth it eventually? Is there already content on this, or in the paid membership?

plus my plans through May! There is already a lot! Bots to help you craft content, socials, email, and mindset. Content Calendars and templates. Workbooks on various topics. Tech walkthroughs (what do you want me to show you?) And of course, get coached during our monthly Q+A call. This is the cheapest access anyone gets to my brain :)

Tonight is our January masterclass, and I'm so excited to talk about this. January feels like the perfect time to freshen up and revisit what you are actually selling and why. I will talk about big changes I have made recently at CreateAlong, my main crafting brand, why I did it and how it has changed my perspective, and what I'm doing next- all in the context of how to approach your own products and sales. Just upgrade your membership to get inside, and to grab ALL of the trainings that are already there on-demand to grow your business.

For about the 11 millionth time, I just saw a post on FB from a woman asking how to best collect PayPal money for her creations and then send invoices manually and get a shipping address, and then how to use said shipping address to send packages in the most cost effective way (hint- it's not through PayPal.) That is called a barrier to selling, and manual labor. You cannot make sales on autopilot if you are manually sending PayPal invoices to people. I encourage you to think about ease of selling and look at sites like Payhip.com, Indiemade.com, and even Etsy. SIMPLE is better than perfect, and automated is better than manual. For shipping, look at Pirateship.com. I heard about them straight from the source about 13 years ago and never looked back. Stepping down from soapbox :) Creative Income Society members- we have a meeting on Wednesday, and we're going over exactly this- making offers, buttoning up our sales process, and refining what we are selling. Hope to see you there!
