I've been running a handmade business since 2008, and today, I'm sharing 25 essential tips that will help you to start and grow a successful handmade business - no matter where you sell, or what you sell. 💡 Download a pdf of the 25 Tips (& more freebies) here: https://www.createandthrive.com/starthere Want to have a thriving online handmade shop? Over 1,200 makers have already taken my #SetUpShop course and learnt how to systematically set up a stellar online shop to sell their craft. Wanna join in? The next class starts September 6th, 2021 (if you see this later, I run the course 2x per year). It's super-affordable, and suitable for beginners or those who'd like to revamp an existing shop.

I'm Jess Van Den - a former school teacher and science communicator - and I've wanted to make a living online since 1998. But it took me another decade to figure out how... 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 via a blog, podcast, courses, membership community + more. I also love learning & sharing more about health, happiness, plants, and how to be more effective as a work-from-home, full-time self-employed creative - so I have all the time I need to do all the things I love.
