G'day, I'm Jess! I started my craft business Epheriell.com as a hobby in 2008 - and in 2010 I went full-time. I've been 100% self-employed ever since. In 2013 I also started createandthrive.com to help other makers turn their handmade hobby into a thriving business. I also love to learn and talk about happiness, health, and how to design a life you love. 💡 For business inquiries: jess AT createandthrive.com 💡 Affiliate Disclaimer - some links I include in my video descriptions may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission on sales made via the link. 00:00 Introduction 01:04 Step #1 03:16 Step #2 07:08 Step #3 08:53 Step #4 10:36 Step #5
