Do you ever ask yourself, “I have this product, I have this idea—but now what? How do I actually sell it?” You’re not alone. Many of us dream up amazing products or feel inspired to create something unique, only to feel stuck when it comes to taking the next steps. In today’s episode, we’re diving into actionable strategies to help you go from idea to consistent sales.
From selling on Etsy and managing a brick-and-mortar store to launching a website or leveraging social media, each sales channel comes with its own set of opportunities and obstacles. I’ll share insights including how Etsy can simplify selling but comes with trade-offs, why physical store reliance on foot traffic can be limiting, and the common misconception that simply creating an online store guarantees sales.
I’ll also tackle the frustration of slow sales and reveal the importance of meeting your customers where they already are. You’ll hear lessons from my own journey, like discovering that a beautiful website isn’t enough—you need a strategy to drive traffic and turn browsers into buyers. Stick with me as I break down the seven best platforms and methods to sell your products today. By the end, you’ll have a roadmap to turn those trickling sales into a steady waterfall.
