Jessica runs a successful artisan storefront and she’s sharing how you can get handmade products into local shops:

The March issue of the Handmade Seller magazine is now available! Scroll down to see a preview of the exciting articles and courses included in this month’s issue!

In the March issue, Jessica shares:

“I never expected to own a successful storefront. I had dreamt of it of course, and I had notebooks full of different business plans and ideas scattered around my house. But as a college drop-out, I didn’t expect it to ever come to fruition. When it all began, I was a homebound mother of two with over $25,000 in student loans. Now, I’m the owner of an artisan store that supports over 100 local artists, crafters, and entrepreneurs. My mission was to give handmade sellers an affordable way to market their businesses to customers outside of Etsy and craft fairs, and I did it!”
