📦 Missed the Blog, But Not the Message: Let’s Talk About Selling in Multiple Spaces 💬📱

-

 Okay, so real talk — I missed my usual Tuesday blog post. 😬 Life got lifey, and between packaging orders, updating listings, and pretending not to be distracted by TikTok, I blinked and it was already Wednesday.

But hey — just because I missed a day doesn’t mean I missed the message. This week, I’ve been reflecting on something important: how and where I’m showing up as a small business owner.

Right now, I’ve got a few platforms in the mix:

  • 🛍 Etsy — where my wraps, UVDTF stickers, and print-on-demand products live.

  • 🌐 My Website — home to my mobile craft party kits and premade glassware.

  • 📲 Instagram & TikTok — where I’ve started posting product reels, behind-the-scenes moments, and getting more direct feedback.

So why does this matter?

Because the more I experiment, the more I realize:
not every customer shops the same way.

Some people are Etsy loyalists. Others want the flexibility of buying from a link in bio or just tapping “shop now” after watching a 12-second reel.

And as a small business owner, I’ve learned that expanding where you show up can expand your impact. Not overnight. Not all at once. But intentionally.

💡 A few takeaways I’m holding onto:

  • Don’t stress about being everywhere — start where you’re strong and grow from there.

  • Use each platform for what it’s good at: Etsy for discoverability, your website for control, and social for connection.

  • Repetition is your friend — you can share the same product across all platforms, just tweak the message and style.

  • And if you miss a post? Grace over guilt. You’re doing great.

Now I’m off to go plan my next wrap reel and maybe take a walk because — let’s be honest — I’ve earned it. 😅

Until next time...

My First Sale - That wasn't a friend or family member.

-
There comes a moment in every small business owner’s journey that feels like a rite of passage. No, I’m not talking about picking the perfect logo or finally figuring out how to price your products without second-guessing yourself (although those are both real struggles). I’m talking about The First Sale. Not the “Oh, honey, I’ll buy one” from your mom. Not the “I love your work! Do you take Venmo?” from your bestie. Not even the “I’ll support your business!” purchase from your cousin who still owes you money from 2009. I mean the first REAL sale —from a complete stranger. Someone who doesn’t share your last name, isn’t in your group chat, and gasp actually wants what you made! How It Happened So, there I was, minding my own business (literally), when I got The Notification. You know the one. 📩 Cha-ching! You’ve made a sale! At first, I assumed it was my sister or a coworker trying to be sneaky. But when I checked the order details… I didn’t recognize the name. I blinked. Could...

✨ Flex Friday: Fiesta, Family & a Sparkly Little CEO in Training ✨

-
Sometimes the biggest wins don’t come from big crowds or big booths… They come from a two-hour craft fair at an elementary school , under paper flowers, surrounded by community, family, and the unexpected magic of handmade joy. This week’s flex? A Fiesta-themed event hosted by my niece Gracie’s school , and y’all — it ended up being everything. Gracie, the Accidental CEO 👧🏻✨ Knowing she might get a little bored, I brought Gracie some silicone beads to play with while she sat at my booth. You know, just something to keep her busy. Cut to: Gracie crafting up the cutest little keychains you’ve ever seen , and casually laying them out on the table like she’s been doing markets for years. No sign. No price. Just sitting there being adorable. Then it happened… A woman walked by, picked one up and said, “Oh my gosh… these keychains are BEAUTIFUL!” 😍 I blinked. Gracie blinked. I said, “Yep! They’re for sale!” ( Internally: Are they? They are now. ) The lady BOUGHT it. Gra...

🔍 Flex Friday: 3 Things That Helped My Etsy Listings Get Found

-
 Let’s talk about something that every shop owner stresses over at some point: “How do I get my listings SEEN on Etsy?” When I first launched Rise Up Designs, I spent hours creating products — tumblers, wraps, keychains — and then stared at my stats wondering why no one was finding them. 😩 Sound familiar? Now, I’m not saying I cracked the Etsy algorithm (I wish! 😂), but I have figured out a few key moves that made a difference in getting found — and getting sales. So for today’s Flex Friday, I’m sharing 3 real things that helped my listings show up more consistently. 1️⃣ Get serious about your titles Your title isn’t just a description — it’s a search tool. I used to write cutesy or vague titles, but now I start by thinking: 💡 What would my ideal customer type into the search bar? Example: Instead of “Sparkle Teacher Cup” I go with:  Teacher Tumbler with Straw – Back to School Gift – Glitter Glass Can – Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea It may sound less poetic, b...
