It’s a brand new year! Last month we dug deep into marketing tactics that can help you in 2022, and this month we’re focused on sharing stories from handmade sellers who have made big changes to their business. Our main featured seller completely automated her business when she started selling digital products and our second featured seller is leaving a high-profile job to become a full-time artist. So inspiring! We have lots of other great business topics for you as well, such as how to take stunning pictures on your phone with a few free apps. Enjoy!!
Here's a preview of what you'll find inside this issue:
