Andrea Scott started her Etsy shop Sew Happy Quilting in 2017 where she sells a variety of quilted items including baby quilts, pot holders, mug rugs, and much more.

Unlike many other SAHMs (stay-at-home-moms) she choose to start her business after her kids got older, and one of the benefits of that is that now they’re able to help her out in her business as needed!

Topics Discussed:

  • Andrea’s transition from the legal field to SAHM to full-time entrepreneur
  • Creating a plan for growth on Etsy starting with SEO
  • Running a subscription box offer on Etsy
  • Comparison of Etsy traffic generated from different social media platforms
  • Andrea’s personal experience with Etsy Ads vs Offiste Ads
  • Tips for gaining traction in sales
  • Becoming a wholesale customer for fabric designers
  • And much more…

  • Baby Quilt
  • Fat Quarter Bundles
  • Mug Rugs aka Coasters
