73: From A Hobby To A Profitable Etsy Business With Lauren Kilgore

If you want to create a product to sell, this show is for you. Today, I\'m talking with Etsy entrepreneur Lauren Kilgore. She and I will be speaking at the Social Media Marketing Made Easy Conference in Norfolk this April. I wanted to learn more about how she is making real money doing something she started as a hobby. I get a lot of calls from people who want to do the same thing. They’re testing the waters and from that experiment, they want a change in their circumstances. If that’s you, listen to this interview. Lauren is doing exactly what I would recommend to anyone who calls me. Be clear about what you offer.  Make sure it’s an offer people want. Be visible where your clients hang out. And then do more of what’s working.
