  • How Handmade Sellers Are Making £1k in Just 7 Days (Without a Huge Audience)
    May 21 2025

    Do you think you need 10,000 followers to make real money from your handmade business? Think again!. In this episode, Steph shows you how real sellers with tiny audiences are making £1K in just one week. The truth is, your problem isn't your social media following; it's often a lack of a clear, compelling offer and a simple marketing plan. People today want to build relationships, not be mass-marketed to.

    More followers is a vanity metric – what truly matters is the depth of trust, the clarity of your message, and the simplicity of your strategy. Learn what to focus on instead of chasing follower numbers: engagement, nurturing with valuable content, and clear calls to action.

  • Why Your Sales Are Inconsistent (And How to Fix It for Good)
    May 14 2025

    🎢 Feel like your sales are on a constant rollercoaster? One week you’re rushed off your feet with orders, the next… total crickets? You’re not alone – and the good news? It’s completely fixable.


    In this episode, we’re breaking down why your sales feel so up and down – and spoiler alert: it’s not your product, pricing, or even your views. It’s your lack of a proper sales system. If you’ve been winging it and hoping for the best, this one’s for you.


    We’ll dig into the three biggest reasons most handmade businesses struggle with consistency – patchy marketing, fuzzy offers, and mindset wobbles – and I’ll walk you through the simple shifts you can make to build a steady, reliable flow of sales without burning out.


    💡 You’ll learn my 3-part system:

    ✔️ An irresistible offer

    ✔️ A sales funnel that actually converts

    ✔️ And the kind of traffic that brings in buyers – not just browsers.


    If you’re ready to stop guessing and start making sales month after month, this episode is your roadmap. Plus, I’ll share how you can join a totally free challenge to build your own sales system from scratch.


    Let’s ditch the chaos and build a handmade business that actually supports you. Hit play – let’s get stuck in!

    ✨ In this episode:
    ✔️ How Threads decides what shows up in feeds
