The Summer 2023 magazine is live! We’re so excited to launch our summer publication this quarter to share these entrepreneurs’ amazing stories with you. We have several new types of featured articles this quarter as we continue to expand our business content.
In this issue we cover a huge range of topics, from building a business based on experiences to identifying diverse income streams. We also explore how to help protect your images from AI scanning, and interview the CEO of goimagine. Finally, our newsstand shares the latest and greatest on Instagram, Pinterest, Shopify and Etsy. Dive in and enjoy the rest of summer!
Once I felt ready, I created my own online shop, so I could drive traffic there from social media and other online outlets, and avoid the Etsy fees.
Here's a preview of what you'll find inside our summer publication:
