This Artist Surpassed Her Sales Goal by 3,000% After Hiring a Coach to Help Her Transform Her Mindset

The September magazine is live! We’re always excited for new magazine issues, but this month we’re REALLY excited! Our first featured seller shares her entire journey of improving her business by transforming her mindset. She even hired a coach which we know is something a lot of handmade sellers are curious about. Our second featured seller blew us away when she shared how her family has created a six-figure tea business by using affiliate and rewards programs via Shopify apps. They’ve truly created a perfect system by working with others to sell their products. Our third featured seller is a blogger with over 150 posts that generate free, consistent traffic to her business. You won’t want to miss this magazine issue!

“This every day emotion of lack of self-fulfillment kept following me.“ -Jessica

Our first featured seller, Jessica, applied to be featured and mentioned surpassing her sales goal by 3,000% after she better aligned her story with her product. It turns out that she went on a journey seeking to improve her mindset and even hired a coach (@thrivewithnikita) to help her with the transformation. That’s when she surpassed her goal by 3k%!

” I challenged myself to just be in the moment with the utmost joy while meeting new potential customers, and that’s the day I surpassed my goal by over 3,000%! What made this possible? It’s no secret; the power lies in our mindset and how we choose to show up for our happiness and goals, along with the clear alignment of how my story and mission are instilled into each jewelry design I create!”

“Our affiliate program is now the main driver of our sales.” – CeAnne

We featured CeAnne’s story in the February 2018 magazine issue and since then she’s turned her business into a six-figure one mostly by creating an amazing affiliate program! Her tea business works with influencers to sell their products to the influencer’s audience. That influencer then gets a percent of the sale, it’s a win-win!

“We needed to find a way to make it more worth their time to share our product and so the affiliate program was born. An affiliate program is where people get a commission for every sale they send our way. They would do this by using a special affiliate link that would track where the sales come from so that we could pay them their affiliate commission.”

“I truly never thought that this humble little blog would transform into a business.” – Laura Lee

We wanted to feature Laura Lee’s story because she’s created passive traffic for her business by blogging, something we’re big believers in! But then we discovered that she also launched a Kickstarter campaign for her business and raised $10,000! You won’t want to miss her story!

“Oddly enough, I do not advertise my blog. I never have. Is that weird? I’ve been fortunate enough to never have to think about advertising the blog. A lot of my traffic happens organically. Of course, I share it on every avenue I can: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and my mailing list. I have a very supportive group of friends that share my posts as well even after all of these years.”
