🙄 “You’ll get great exposure”


>>TL;DR: Click here to read how to work with influencers for your handmade business<<

Working with “influencers” is a HOT button topic.


I put “influencers” in quotes because actual genuine influencers actually don’t identify themselves as such…at least, the ones that you would want to work with don’t.

🤦‍♀️ Pro tip: if they utter the phrase “you’ll get great exposure”…run.


The person who is looking for freebies so that they can show off all of the swag they get for free?


Definitely NOT the influencer for you.


The person who shares real, genuine stories and posts about the products they use and love?


Now we’re talking!


Your time and your art are valuable, which means that you’ve GOT to be selective in who’s out there representing you.

Working with the right influencers can lift your business up, and working with the wrong ones can be a hit on your wallet – and on your brand’s reputation.


I’ve got a rockstar list of resources and tools that will help you get started working with influencers, including how to find them and what to say when you find “the one”. Click here to read more!


P.S.: If you’ve ever worked with an influencer for your handmade business, I’d LOVE to know how it went…hit “reply” and spill the tea!

Hey there friend! Thank you so much for signing up for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday planning session. We covered a LOT in our time together! I am trying something new here with these workshops: they are hosted/stored on a platform called Thrivecart. You have been added as a "student" in there but you will need to create a password: you should have received an email from Thrivecart with the subject line 'Verify your email to access your courses'. Click the blue "sign in to your account"...

Happy Fri-yay Reader! I wanted to pop in with a quick reminder that I've got three live sessions next week for my brand new free workshop, the Handmade Holiday Sales Accelerator. >>YES! I need this workshop!<< My robot assistant tells me that you haven't signed up yet, and unless you're planning on sitting this holiday sales season out – which would be totally fine (we all need a break!) – this is going to be THE most valuable 90 minutes you spend on your business this summer! Your holiday...

There are questions I see asked over and over again in art fair groups, craft market communities, and various other corners of the internet where creatives like us hang out: “Any shows this upcoming weekend with spots open?” “Looking for shows next weekend” “Any good shows under $30?” “Looking for shows this month that still have space” There are always answers, always shows, always some venue that is more than happy to take that table fee check...especially during these slower summer months....
