Hi Maker, I’m Stacy!

and I’m so excited to help you turn your craft into your flourishing Online Etsy business!

I’m the mama of 3 incredible kiddos, lover of Jesus, and serial entrepreneur who is pumped to help you get your Etsy shop up and running!

I started selling on Etsy on a whim and I cannot believe how things have taken off! My shop has over 11,000 sales and nearly 2,500 five-star reviews. I have learned how to stand out from the competition and make this small idea into a thriving online business!

But it didn’t start out that way!   

In 2013, I wanted to throw my 2-year-old son a birthday party and could NOT find any party favors I loved. I started to look into options for making my own and I realized I had a decision to make:

Option 1: Buy the 10 favors (which is the number I actually needed) at full price.

Option 2: Buy a case of 50 and get each party favor for a fraction of the cost.

Now, most people would say, “Just go with 10. Who needs 50 party favors?” But…as a woman with an entrepreneurial mindset…I always think I can turn just about anything into a business! So, in my usual “Stacy” fashion, I decided to order the case of 50 favors and see if I could personalize and sell the extras on Etsy.

I personalized the favors for our party guests, posted photos of them on Etsy, and waited. In one week, I sold my first party favor and I was hooked! The feeling of knowing someone in the world thought my craft was cool enough to actually purchase gave me all the feels! I couldn’t wait to see when my next sale would come in and I was determined to make my shop a success. After all, I had another 39 more party favors to sell!

This is what Maker’s Business Coaching is all about.

I am here to help you hear that glorious “cha-ching” notification. The sound the Etsy app sings every time someone makes a purchase from your shop. The sound that lets you know you’re on the right track and people want what you are selling. It’s my favorite notification and soon will be yours too!

There are so many people waiting and in need of YOUR unique product! You know, the item you have been making but haven’t shared with anyone yet. Or the one you have been thinking of making but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

All you need is some guidance on how to get your Etsy business up, running, and thriving! Are you ready to turn your dream of selling you own product into a profitable Etsy business? Your customers are waiting for you to show them your product so let’s not make them wait any longer!
