Now that you've started your dream handmade business, your gut feeling now tells you to take a step further. Social media is a great way to get your brand out there, but you need to think about how it fits into your overall plan. To start off, be sure you have defined the following that will fit your business: Goals: You should know what your goals are when you use social media in your business. Are you using social media as a marketing channel to gain new customers and increase sales? Or, are you using it as a tool to stay connected with existing clients? This will help to shape how you use each of these platforms. Ideal platforms: Which social media platforms do your target customers spend the most time on? It is important to know this so that you can focus your efforts on the platforms that are likely to bring you more traffic and conversions. Content strategy: Successful strategies in social media include coming up with great content, quality products, and, above all, consistency. It is important that you constantly provide valuable information to your audience. This can be done by posting pictures, reels, or offering discounts on your site. You will learn more of these tips in my Crafty Money Smarts program, especially curated for handmade business owners. Let's discuss it further as you book a free income breakthrough session with me.

Your brand is more than your colors and logos. It includes your values, why you do this, and even who it is for. It is important, though, to have consistency in your branding so that after a while, people can recognize your product from its packaging and colors. Consistent and right branding can increase your sales and income. Do you need to brainstorm on your branding? Book your free branding breakthrough session.

Another takeaway from our Crafty Money Mindset. When you feel resentful, you attract negative energy around yourself, which repels customers and your sales and profit with it. This week in the Crafty Money Smarts program, we discussed ways to deal with such feelings, especially when you are in a market trying to sell your products and feel frustrated, resentful, and don't want to be there anymore. One of the tips we came up with is to be prepared and have a system to get yourself out of your head and into your body. Another one is to focus on the customers and just have fun at the markets. Do you have a system to deal with frustration, exhaustion, and resentment at markets? Share with us in the comments. It's not too late to join the Crafty Money Smarts program. This is the last week you can join the program as we will work on pricing products in detail. You don't want to miss that. DM me for more info. #askanahita #coachanahita #makerscoach #handmadecoach #creativitymeetsprofit #canadianmakersmarket #tips #onlinecourse #tools #vancouver #australia #canada #ceomindset #handmadeinaustralia #makersofinstagram #artistsofinstagram #careercoach #mindset #businessplan #wealthbuilding #motivation

It's #internationalbeer day today! Do you drink beer? If so, do you support your local breweries? We love to pay a visit to our local breweries and support them. What's not to like? You can't go wrong with good beer, good people, and a good ambiance! If you think about it, local breweries are much like makers, with more rules and regulations to follow. So this weekend, head over to your local brewery and drink there instead. I will tag my favourite local breweries in the comments. You do the same! Let's discover new places to drink locally in our communities. #askanahita #makersmentor #localbeweries #internationalbeerday #businessconsultant #askanahitahour #freeresources #freemasterclass #craftymoneysmarts #growyourbusiness #profitfirst #profitablemaker #thrivingartist

A wonderful message from @bleaklythiessen from the previous Crafty Money Mindset masterclass is that we are born with very special gifts and talents that only each one of us has and it is just so important to use them because it’s what we are in the world for. Everything about this is true and also remember that your talent is only valuable if you can use it. Don’t let your gifts go unnoticed! Practice, learn, and upskill. You have to be willing to go the extra mile if you want to be successful. Test new approaches, learn from mistakes, talk with your customers, and build a network of supporters. We can go in depth with this if you want. Just book a free income breakthrough session with me.

From a buyer's point of view, craft markets are fun. You get a chance to meet the makers and see their process up close. And you are able to take your time trying out different products and learning more about the local artists. But what if that was turned on its head? What if you were the one sitting in a booth, hoping someone will buy your work? You would probably have high levels of anxiety too. Last week, Titina provided her insight on craft market anxiety and how to overcome it. By taking a deep breath, you can ensure more focus and your customers will have a more pleasant experience. Stay grounded; take a moment to feel yourself standing on the ground. You can also read or make affirmations or even client positive reviews just to release yourself from that negative energy you're feeling. More wisdom and tips for handmade business makers like you. Don't forget to save this post or book a free income breakthrough session with me.

I know this seems scary for many crafters and handmade business owners. But if you want to have a steady income and control your income too, wholesaling is the way to go. My first tip for finding a lasting wholesale account is to do your research. Make connections before your sales pitch. That could mean following your ideal store on social media and engaging with them before sending them your first sales email. But before that, make sure you have considered wholesale in your product pricing. Need help with that? Book a free income breakthrough session with me!
