🎉 Your free pass to the 2024 Planning Session & bonus planner
How's your Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend going Reader?
💰 Were you all ready for it, with content planned, products made, and emails scheduled?
🤦♀️ Or...was this yet another year where the season somehow snuck up on you?
If it's the latter, I want you to know that you're not alone, and it's most definitely not your fault.
You're an artist Reader: an expert in your craft, which (if you're like most other makers) doesn't necessarily include being an expert in "business-y" things like marketing.
The catch is, though, that your marketing makes ALL the difference between crickets and cha-chings – ESPECIALLY at this time of year when it feels like you are competing for sales with every other business on the planet.
The good news?
You've got a maker AND a marketing expert right here in your inbox, and I've got you covered!
Students and alumni of The Marketing School for Makers are celebrating wins in their business left and right – take a look and see what they've had to say in the past few weeks:
These are the well-deserved successes of makers who chose to invest in their businesses – invest in themselves – and these are the results they earned.
🎉 They're confident
🎉 They're doing things that they *thought* they couldn't do
🎉 They're making money
If you've been feeling like something's got to change...that there's got to be SOMEONE out there who can help you crack the code on how to sell more of your work at a time when it feels like no one is selling (spoiler alert: people are selling. A lot.), then this is your sign Reader to FINALLY take control of your business!
🎉 When you enroll in the winter 2024 class of The Marketing School for Makers before Wednesday, November 29, in addition to the $300 BFCM savings and the *super* awesome suite of bonuses, you'll also get:
🎁 Free access to our live 2024 planning and coaching session
🎁 A hard copy of my 2024 Rockstar Planner for Makers (a $49 value) delivered right to your door (ships in December).
During our live 2024 planning and coaching session, you will:
✏️ Identify your business goals for 2024
✏️ Build a revenue action plan, where we'll drill down and calculate exactly what you need to do/make/sell to meet those business goals
✏️ Map out your schedule for the year, including event application deadlines and dates, so that you know EXACTLY where, when, and how you'll be making money
✏️ Identify the "sticking points" in your business and decide which ones to batch, delegate, or eliminate
I'm not gonna lie, I am ridiculously excited about this session – and about this planner!
This is going to be a game-changer for makers who need help with organization, planning, and content creation. I've custom-designed this planner to include some pretty fantastic features, including:
✨ A built-in promo planning system calendar with content topics and tasks mapped out for you: a sort of color-by-numbers for marketing plans!
✨ All of the major holidays, and the most popular "social media holidays", so that you can plan your creative promos without having to dig around for dates
✨ Daily and weekly task lists, so that you can quickly identify what needs to be done (and what you can delegate or skip)
Let's just say, it's going to be pretty fantastic...and if you want to get one of these beauties in your crafty hands, then don't wait! Join the winter 2024 class of The Marketing School for Makers by midnight EST on Wednesday 11/29, and you'll secure your VIP all-access pass to this rockstar event.

January is the best time to reflect on what worked (and what didn’t) last year. A quick business audit can help you figure out where to focus your energy in 2025...and it's always a real eye-opener! If you've never done a business audit, then you're in good company. It's not nearly as scary as it sounds (no, it has nothing to do with a tax audit!), and it gives you an incredible insight on how you can optimize your sales and success. In this blog post, I walk you through how to conduct a...
I know, I know—goal setting can sometimes feel overwhelming. But setting the right goals for your handmade business can be the difference between feeling stuck and seeing real progress.

In this guide, I share a simple framework to help you set realistic, achievable goals that will keep you motivated all year long. It’s not just...
