Lately all the work for Saltwater Prep has been forward facing and it feels SO GOOD. 🙌

You know those times in business when everything is on the backend?! Like inventory and site fixes and the nitty gritty branding stuff... yeah, I hate that stuff. 🙅‍♀️ (even though it’s completely necessary)

But lately, it’s all been work my customers will ACTUALLY SEE 🤩 Email lists, Instagram posts, YouTube videos: I’ve been loving it.

That’s all I have to say, no dramatic takeaway. Just that sometimes business is more fun than other times. And lately it’s been one of those seasons! ✨

How running a small business looks VS how it sometimes feels 😳🤪

On the real though, making things we love and putting them out into the world can be really difficult and really scary. 🙈 This one goes out to the creative business owners who are chugging along and taking baby steps to grow their businesses. ✨

Can you tell I’m getting senti over finally having these tees out into the world?! 😂 I’m just happy, OKAY.

Feels like the sun always shines a little brighter on Friday’s... agree?! 🌞 Joe and I just got back negative covid test results which means all things are a go for a trip we have planned on Sunday. 🎉 guesses where! 👇

⚡️🖥 okay y’all let’s talk Etsy vs. Shopify cuz this question gets asked A LOT...

💚 Pros of Shopify: apps and integrations make basically anything possible, more robust backend (for coupons specifically), a good option for all e-commerce sellers (not just handmade)

🧡 Pros of Etsy: cost of entry is lowww, no monthly fee, comes with a “built in market” (this is a BIG. DEAL.)

We have both at Saltwater Prep, but the vast majority of our sales still come from Etsy. It’s a good platform. 🤷🏼‍♀️

If I was just starting out with a handmade business, I’d list on Etsy first. Once I earned some $$$, I would look at stats to see where sales are coming from. That’s when I’d decide if it would make sense to start my own website. 🖥

That’s the cliff notes version, friends! Are you on Etsy or Shopify (or both)??

We call this one “venturing into the snow in our grandpa sweaters” ❄️ Pretty thrilled with the fact that the only snow we are seeing these days is in photo form. ✨
