I was losing my creative mojo with all of the business-y aspects of a handmade business - online marketing, creating enough to keep the shops stocked up. Ever try to force creativity? You can't. Well you can, but you end up hating your end product usually. So what's a girl to do?
I knew I needed a better online presence, and while my day job is in technology, I didn't want that to become my night job too. Then I had an epiphany - hire that technical stuff out! And that's where Sarah from Opening Doors MN came in. She took my style and turned it into a fabulous website, www.studio413online.com! But not just that, she also took care of my shop and blog banners and business cards so I could have one cohesive look to all areas of my business. LOVE that!
So if you're new to this handmade business thing, or new to the marketing pieces that go along with it, I suggest hiring it out. (And I really recommend working with Sarah!) Because you'd rather spend your time creating than frustrating :)
