I’m Steph, a multi 6-figure handmade business owner (in the top 0.1% of all shops on Etsy), bestselling author of “How to be a handmade boss”, visionary and coach behind Handmade Bosses.
However, It wasn’t always rainbows and unicorns though. Today, my business(es) are bustling, but way back in 2014 when I started, it was HARD. Favourites but no sales, slow sales and low profits seemed in the beginning, like the trajectory of my business. Luckily following the system I’ve now curated, All of that changed and I went full-time in my handmade business in 2016.
Let’s focus on turning your passion into profit, because the world really does need these special creations that you only bring to life.

If you’re heading towards Q4 thinking:
RIGHT. I need to make more products, post more, change my listings and basically do ALL THE THINGS before Christmas...
ummmmmm, no 😂
From the 21st to the 24th of September, I’m running Listathon, my completely FREE four-day challenge for handmade business owners.
We’re going to look at which products actually deserve your attention, how to create listings that do their job, how to get more from what’s already working, AND how to build a simple marketing plan to get more people seeing your stuff.
Basically...
less random tweaking.
Less guessing.
More knowing what you should actually focus on.
And if Listathon has already started by the time you’re hearing this, you can still jump in and catch up on the replays.
