I have been a little under the weather with a summer cold, so I may be quieter than usual—but I am still working behind the scenes! 🤧💛 I have been reviewing and updating several of the modules inside the community to make them easier for beginners to follow, more organized, and filled with helpful information you can actually use. Some lessons have been refreshed, a few pages have been renamed or reorganized, and I am continuing to work through the remaining modules a little at a time. Be sure to take another look through the classroom because you may notice some new information and changes! 👀 Is there a module you have been enjoying, or one you are hoping to work through soon? Let me know in the comments!

One of the biggest mistakes many creators make is spending hours creating a beautiful design before finding out if there's actually a market for it. I am guilty of this. I chase shiny objects. Before you start your next project, take 10–15 minutes to do a little research. Here are a few FREE places to start: 🔍 Etsy Search – Type in your idea and look at the autocomplete suggestions. Those are real searches shoppers are making. 📌 Pinterest – See what's trending, what styles are popular, and what catches your eye. 📈 Google Trends – Compare search interest over time to see if a topic is growing, seasonal, or declining. 🎥 TikTok & Instagram Reels – Search your niche to see what's getting attention and inspiring creators. 💡 ChatGPT – Ask questions like: - What products could I create with this idea? - Who is my target audience? - What are some unique angles or sub-niches? - What keywords should I target? - Research doesn't mean copying someone else's work—it means understanding what people are looking for and finding ways to create something that's uniquely yours. 💙 Let's Talk About It When you get a new idea... 🩵 Do you research first? 🩵 Do you create first and research later? 🩵 What's your favorite free research tool?
