Listing your products doesn’t have to be a marathon
Hey there Reader, I'm having a quiet Sunday but I couldn't stop thinking about you. I've had a few really amazing emails from people who are telling me that what I've been saying about product descriptions, listing, and Product Spark is really resonating with them. Of course, that has really made me happy. Sometimes we think we're all alone in our struggles and that happens to me too. When I tell you I hate writing product descriptions, I'm not joking. Listing products manually is SUCH a...
Using Keyword Research the Right Way
Hello hello Reader! It's almost the end of the week and I got an excellent question from Hollie, a Creative Briefs member, that I wanted to highlight for you. So I’m wondering how a character like Pokemon could be sold since it’s licensed? This is a fantastic question, and it comes right after the new Brief just dropped which makes total sense. This month's Brief is on stickers and I know I don't have to tell you, stickers are insanely popular. Because of this, I spent extra time researching...

I hope you've had an amazing weekend, Reader! We've had weekend here at home, making something as always. This week I made 2 loaves of sourdough bread at the same time for the first time. I won't lie, I felt accomplished! And that's why I love highlighting some of the amazing work being done by people in our community! There are two places where I'm encouraging product creation, the Creative Lab and the Creative Briefs. And both of these programs get a great perk, I share their work with my...

🎯 Nailing Product Creation
Hey hey Reader!I'm coming into your box today before we get hit with Hurricane Idalia because I did something this week that made me think of you.All last week I was feeling like absolute garbage. I'm going through a medication change that needs to be done slowly and apparently the drugs that were being switched in and out amplify each other's effects. What that translates to is me feeling awful for about 4 days.So I had to play catch up for a little bit and as I started to feel overwhelmed,...
✨ Master Your Product Creation ✨
I vividly remember planning a holiday line years ago for my stationery shop. I printed letterpress greeting cards and custom stationery and I wanted to debut some custom wrapping paper and these really cool gift card holders I wanted to try out. (See how cute it is?) Slowly, I started to get overwhelmed, because there was a lot more research I had to do to get these items printed. I also didn’t really know how to design a template for those cool gift card holders I was so excited about....
5 things I love about digital product design
We both love digital products, right Reader? After a rather bumpy week last week, I was sitting and thinking about how grateful I am that I get to design digital products from the comfort of my home. It allows me the time I need to focus on the things that matter, when they're happening. I felt overcome with gratitude as I read the comments of the people whose work I reviewed this past week. Something that I love doing so much, really has an impact on the products they are designing. It feels...
