Handmade Seller Magazine
November 30, 2020

The December magazine is live!! As we head into one of the busiest times of the year for handmade sellers, we’re super thankful for the stories that we have to share this month! Even our question of the month seemed to line up with the theme of this magazine which wasn’t actually planned. Right now, a lot of sellers feel pressured to create perfect promotions and trendy product lines, but sometimes you need to get back to the basics: embracing your joy. All of our stories this month demonstrate that doing what you love creates success (even if it makes no sense at the time), while doing what you think others want you to do leads you in circles. We hope this magazine issue gives you clarity and direction!! ❤️
