Today I want to talk about one of the most versatile handmade products you can make and sell online.

Stickers

Yes, stickers. 

You can make a sticker for pretty much anything! 

You can make motivational stickers for grade books or decal stickers for local businesses or stickers for people who love stationery or journaling. 

There’s really so much you can do with stickers! 

If you can design it, you can turn it into a sticker! 

Not to mention, they’re great for all ages. 

Who doesn’t love stickers? 

Adults put them on laptops, cars, notebooks. 

Kids can put them – everywhere! And as any parent will tell you, they really do. 

But can you make a living starting a sticker business? 

Or is the market already over saturated? 

This post will go into everything you need to know about starting a sticker business of your very own.

Then you can decide if this is something you want to pursue.

When I started my handmade business, I had BIG goals. 

I wanted to make a living selling my handmade jewelry, but I wasn’t sure exactly how I’d get there. 

In the beginning, I was barely scraping by, even though I was working a full-time schedule. 

Today, my first business, Tiny Hands, makes $200k in sales each year, and the other two businesses we have make a couple million each, per year. 

I’ll show you how I did it – and how you can do it, too.

Being a business owner is extremely stressful and for us handmade business owners, we have to balance marketing, operations, designing products and fulfilling orders. 

That’s A LOT of work. Let’s be real. 

We might feel so bogged down by the weight of it all, that we feel like we’ve lost control over any of it. 

I’m going to tell you how you can get that control back – and learn how to overcome, and handle the overwhelm.

Every online business owner will experience happy and exciting milestones as well as stressful ones. 

Today I will discuss all these different milestones so you know you’re not alone. 

This blog alone is proof that there’s a whole community of handmade business owners out there, going through exactly what you are. 

My hope is that instead of worrying (which is a sport for us business owners), we give ourselves permission to get excited about our progress with our business. 

At the end of the day, all of these milestones have one thing in common: they prove that we are here and we are making our dreams come true.

Pricing our products is hard.

It’s one of the biggest challenges for many handmade business owners. 

I get it, it’s difficult to know how much people will pay for what we make – and a lot of us are hesitant to charge too much for our product as a result. 

But did you know that there are actually strategies that can help us determine the best pricing that can even help us sell more? 

And they’re all based on human psychology! 

In other words, SCIENCE. 

From knowing how to use discounts to increase sales to using psychology to determine customer-friendly price points, we can make sure that our prices are the most attractive to our customers. 

Today, I’ll be diving into some of these fun and cool strategies with you.
