Podcast Episode 113: Marketing for Makers: Starting from Square One with Nicole Spaulding

Veering off from our usual interview format, this unique episode is a LIVE unscripted coaching session with our Operations Manager, Nicole Spaulding.

I brought in Nicole to join me on the podcast so I could answer her questions as she embarks on starting her handmade business, Hot for Color. I learned how to run my creative business the hard way, through trial and error, and I love consulting and coaching other makers to shorten their learning curve.

I share insights about:

• Where to start when building your online presence
• Branding basics
• How to determine your marketing sweet spot
• How personal to get and boundaries on social media, as well as how often to post and how to engage with your community
• How to start with a newsletter from square one
• Newsletter content ideas
• Sourcing blanks and production

Some things we mention:
Hot for Color
TSC Apparel
Alpha Broder
