Bio
I started my business on Etsy in 2006 but I really didn’t take it seriously and change it from a hobby to a business till 2010. And in 2013 my business grew large enough to move the business from NJ to IL and my husband to be able to help me full time. Etsy gave and still gives the flexibility to be with family easier. As the business grew I knew that it was time to grow outside of Etsy as a brand. Then I started my shop on Shopify. As time goes on things change and I new I had to learn more and more on how Search Engine Opination (SEO) works if I was going to make it without doing Facebook Lives. SEO wasn’t as known as it is now. But it is the key to getting seen not only on Etsy and Shopify but it is a necessity for social media as well. My husband and I still
make signs but I also help other small businesses to grow using SEO and writing good descriptions and website content to attract your perfect customer.
