Pinterest trends, Etsy compliance and the latest from Handmade Seller

Welcome to our mid-March edition of the newsletter. I’m elbow deep into editing for the mid-April magazine. The upcoming magazine has a beautiful mix of articles to help problem solve some current challenges you might be facing, as well as inspire with some incredibly innovative things happening in our industry. But I can’t share too much just yet.😀

I’m settling in with the new platform- still learning a lot and making adjustments as I get better at utilizing it. I’m liking the pace of releasing 3 (or more) articles a week, with two newsletters a month as an article roundup. The huge productivity gains I’ve gotten by moving to beehiiv are allowing me to come up with a pretty incredible new list of topic ideas to write about. Mr HMS and I are researching and going after some tough problems for artisan businesses, and I’m looking forward start sharing these ideas. The first ones will come out next week. If you get the Handmade Seller App you can get notifications to see them right away, otherwise you can wait for the twice a month round-up.

Thank you for being here, and for the beauty you bring to our world as an artisan business. 🙏
