It all started with a camera Emily received from her dad… A love for photography that has now blossomed into a growing business on Etsy and beyond.

She recently quit her full-time day job in order to pursue her creative business and with a new husband, house full of pets, and relatively new blog as well, Emily has her hands full and a great story to share with us this week.

We talk about:

  • Emily’s blog and the inspiration behind it… Honesty and transparency in what we do
  • Her view(s) on living, working, and doing life with a disability… But not being disabled by it
  • Selling on Society6 – pros and cons and how to assess if it’s a fit for you
  • Coupon codes and how Emily leverages them using very specific strategies
  • Time management as a full-time Etsy seller

I love that Emily brings a fresh energy and hopeful perspective to running her creative business and since she’s at the front end of that journey, we’ve already made a commitment to follow-up in the coming months to get an update on how things are going.

Enjoy the conversation and when you finish listening, please take a minute to encourage Emily along in her journey in the comments section below.

Resources Mentioned:

  • Adobe Lightroom – for photo editing (thankfully, the learning curve for this is not as steep as for Adobe Photoshop… But you’ll still need to learn how to use the software)
