Holiday Replay: Our 2nd Most-Popular Episode of 2025 🤶
🎅 We’re rerunning the Start-Your-Shop Checklist because it helped a ton of makers stop faffing and finally launch. No waffle. No scare tactics. Just the order of steps that actually works.
What you’ll learn:
- A simple setup that makes you want to sit down and create
- Target market + niche, done without a headache
- A USP that isn’t “I make it with love”
- Naming your shop (short, memorable, available everywhere)
- Legal bits + money basics without the panic
- Your first 10 products, priced so you actually make profit
- Test → tweak → photos (and a quick 15s video)
- Packaging that looks polished, not pricey
- Shipping you can rely on
- A one-platform “home hub” so you’re not shouting into the void
- A tidy launch plan with drafts ready to go
Pop in your earbuds, grab a cuppa, and let’s get you open without the overwhelm.
Follow for more real-talk help for handmade sellers.
