042 - Beadwork & Coe| Etsy | Arts & Crafts | DIY | Ecommerce | Handmade | Crafting | Online Shopping | Entrepreneur Interviews | Internet Business | Online Business
I am thrilled to have another international guest on the podcast this week!
Diana runs the Etsy shop and she joins me from the United Kingdom. I had a blast talking to Diana because she has quite a wonderful sense of humor (no stiff upper lip here).
She shared some very valuable information about bead-weaving, branding and the impact Etsy teams have had on her Etsy business.
From being a vehicle electrician/technical author to creating intricate beaded jewelry and accessories, you'll want to hear Diana's story as she freely shares the story of her Etsy journey with me.

041 - Tina St. John Jewelry | Etsy | Arts & Crafts | Jewelry-making | DIY | Ecommerce | Handmade | Crafting | Online Shopping | Entrepreneur Interviews | Internet Business | Online Business
Tina is my guest for this bonus podcast episode this week.
She's a certified PMC (Precious Metal Clay) artist and she runs the Etsy shop . We talk about the impact relocating had on her jewelry business and how it helped (maybe forced) her to reinvent her business and re-introduced her to the world of Etsy with a fresh new outlook.
Having come from having an offline jewelry-making business, Tina shares some valuable offline tips on advertising and marketing your business which is crucial for Etsy sellers because, as we discuss in our convo, having an offline marketing strategy is almost just as essential as having an online one.

040 - Egg Art by Angela | Etsy | Arts & Crafts | DIY | Ecommerce | Handmade | Crafting | Online Shopping | Entrepreneur Interviews | Internet Business | Online Business
Nina is my guest today and she and her aunt Angela run four, yes four Etsy shops:
We talk about the reason they opened up four Etsy shops instead of housing all their product lines under one Etsy shop and just how they juggle their time between all four.
Additionally, Nina and Angela are located on two different continents - the US and Europe - so they face some challenges that most business partners don't normally have to deal with.
We discuss how they handle the logistics of running an inter-continental business. Proceeds from their Etsy shops go to fund Nina's non-profit organization - SWF International - and she shares a bit of the history behind the organization she has set for young girls in Sierra Leone.

039 - Liquor Wicks| Etsy | Arts & Crafts | DIY | Ecommerce | Handmade | Crafting | Online Shopping | Entrepreneur Interviews | Internet Business | Online Business
Meaghan and Freddy own the Etsy shop and they're helping to save the environment while running their successful Etsy business.
They up-cycle discarded liquor bottles and turn them into unique 100% natural soy wax scented candles... How's that for original.
In my conversation with one half of this power duo (Freddy), we talk about how they ended up starting a business making these candles, what shop promotion strategies they use and how they're working for them, and even dive a little into craft fairs and shows that they attend where they sell their candles in person.

038 - Swaddle Me Snugly
Have you evver wished you could have a do over of something...? ...Like say, your Etsy shop...?
Well never fear, my guest on the podcast this week is Kelli and she is proof positive that you can have a do over with your Etsy shop and come out better and stronger than the first time.
Kelli's Etsy shop is and she just re-opened armed with a wealth of knowledge about how to drive more traffic to her Etsy shop.
We talk about everything from titles and tags, to branding and social media. This conversation is an eye opener about a seldom-addressed method of Etsy shop traffic generation.
You've heard it many times before now... Etsy teams are a treasure trove of information and help and can be key to one's success on Etsy. Kelli and I talk about that too.
