CREATE YOUR OWN THRIVING ONLINE SHOP
Are you ready to launch your own website with an online shop? Free yourself from Etsy fees and constant algorithm changes!
Sound familiar?
You wish someone would just take you by the hand and guide you through each step in order, and answer your questions along the way so that you can create and manage your own shop.
Imagine what it will be like to launch the website of your dreams.
- Send customers to your own URL, where visitors aren’t 2 clicks away from your competitor’s shop and they can experience a fully-branded shopping experience.
- You can spend your weekends at home with your family instead of hauling tables and tents from event to event.
- Enjoy higher profit margins because there are 0 transaction fees.
- Add as many products as you want since there are NO listing or renewal fees.
- Enjoy the security knowing that you own your own platform and the satisfaction of making your own rules.
People will ask who you hired to design your amazing site and you'll say. "Actually, I did it myself."
You want to launch your own thriving ecommerce website, but you’ve got some questions!
“Does every platform cost $30+ per month? How will I make enough sales to justify the expense?”
“Will it be drag-and-drop? Does it have calculated shipping?”
“How do I even get started?”
“This seems like a lot of work, I don’t have a plan to follow”
I know, there can be a lot of questions and confusion if you're creating a website for the first time.
The truth is you can build a website that costs less than $30/month. It can be drag-and-drop easy. It can have unlimited variations and a variety of shipping calculations.
If you don’t have a plan to follow, it can be easy to make some critical mistakes, choose the wrong platform, get off track, and never actually launch your site.
Without guidance and support, it can be difficult to make any progress at all!
That’s why I’ve created my step by step course: Create. Launch. & Flourish!
An 8 week DIY Website roadmap for handmade business owners who want to craft a thriving online shop.
Life before launching your own website:

Why is wordpress the best platform for handmade sellers?
WordPress is the most popular and fastest growing1 website builder on the web because it is so flexible. You have unlimited possibilities and no limitations to what you can build.
You can start small and simple, with an affordable site and then add on features and premium plugins as you grow. You don't need to spend $30 per month. I'll show you how to get started for as little as $6 per month.
And rest assured, you do not need to know code to use it and make a killer site! I'll show you how to use my favorite drag-and-drop builder so you'll be able to easily create a completely customized site.

If you wait, you’ll be in the same place you are now. Next year, you’ll wish you had started today! Don’t wait until your next craft show flop or Etsy emergency!
Even if you’re not quite ready to start now,this course will lay the groundwork today so you’ll be ready to take big steps in the future.
wHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This course is a great opportunity for you if:
You’re a handmade or small business owner & want a standalone website with online shop or even just a basic website.
You want to grow your business so it could become (or already is) your full-time income.
You want a website that grows with you. You can start small though ($72 for a year - that’s $6/month!)
You want to learn WordPress. You know there’s a little learning curve but having the ability to grow and customize later is worth it.
Your time is precious - you don’t want to waste it researching and building a website by trial and error. You want me to show you exactly how to build your site, start to finish.
A $3,000++ website just isn’t in the budget. You’re making sales and you want to invest in your biz, but you’re not quite ready for a custom-developed site yet.
You’ve already done most of the groundwork like: ideal client, branding, creating a great product line that sells, and have good photography.
This course isn't the right investment for you if:
You want to be a blogger and to build a blog only, with income from ads.
You want to build a drop-shipping ecommerce empire and develop a site with thousands of products imported from independent vendors.
Your handmade endeavour is just a hobby or a side hustle and you’re not serious about growth or profit.
Cost is the #1 factor in every decision. You just want a free or very cheap website. Features, Scalability, and Quality aren’t very important.
You need 24/7 phone support. If you really struggle with computer stuff and need to get 1-on-1 support often, you should consider building on Shopify.
You have ZERO time to dedicate to building your site. If you don’t want to prioritize time to build your site, you should probably hire a professional web designer.
You don’t have a logo, branding, or ideal customer. Your product line isn't streamlined for scaling or you're unsure if your products will sell.
You've got two Choices here....
You can keep trying to figure all the website stuff out on your own and hodge-podge together a site that *might* pay off in a few years.
- or -
You can simply follow my step-by-step system, create your own ecommerce site that works, and let your handmade business flourish!
Where do you want to be a year from now?
If you’re ready to:
Stop messing around with cheap site builders and free trials and
Turn your Etsy shop into a business you can control...
Create. Launch. & Flourish is going to be a game-changer.
I’ll see you on the inside
What's holding you back?
"I’m just getting started and feeling overwhelmed!"
Don’t worry. I will walk you through the entire process one step at a time. You can get started even if you don’t have a domain. And if you’re not ready to tackle the shop aspect, I can show you a simple trick so you can still direct traffic to your own website.
"I can’t afford $30+ every
single month"
$30/m is steep when you're not even sure you'll make sales right away to justify -- not to mention all the extra apps (more $$). WordPress is different. Get started for $74 for your entire 1st year. Plus, there are thousands of free themes and add-ons to get you started.
"I don’t have a lot of time"
That’s OK. Without the pressure of expiring trials and recurring monthly expenses, you can take your time if need be. The lessons in the course are broken down into bite-sized videos and tutorials so you can get in, get what you need, and implement immediately during your pockets of time.
Huge benefits without the huge price tag
$$$
Hiring a professional web designer to design and build your website and set up your ecommerce shop would be an investment of $3,000 - $5,000+.
It could be even more if you want a totally custom design or products input for you
$$
Attending an in-person 2-day WordPress Training event would cost about $800 if you account for travel expenses, meals, and a hotel for the night!
This doesn't include hosting or the tools you may want to actually build your site.
$
By completing this online course, you’ll build your own website and shop for under $600. Total.
Including your hosting for the entire year, easy drag-and-drop builder I use on every client project, a premium theme, plus the support you get from the group!
