333 ~ Finding Success on Etsy Through Transformational Thinking w/Julia Baldwin Taylor of Aligned Adventure

September 15, 2021

From starting out with a shop on Etsy, Julia Baldwin Taylor has grown Aligned Adventure into a brand way beyond Etsy. She sells outdoor adventure inspired prints, canvas art, and mugs and is also a certified transformational coach.

One of her passions is helping other Etsy and creative business owners break through the barriers that stop them from accomplishing their creative business goals.

A life-altering experience not only made her question everything in her life but also resolve to never go back to a regular job, instead ensuring that she found a way to make her business work.

The end result… Within a year Julia had replaced her old salary, and then within a year after that she hit the 6-figure mark!

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of her story…

Topics Discussed

  • Print-on-Demand (POD) business model and why Julia settled on POD vs. printables when deciding to go 100% virtual with her business
  • Process of selecting the POD partners to work with
  • Julia’s system of organizing her time and businesses (both her ecommerce and coaching businesses)
  • Using gift guides and sending physical samples for product promo vs. social media as a promotional platform
  • Process of growing and selling a successful business >> when to do it and if it’s right for everyone
  • The value and importance of coaching to growing a successful business
  • And lots more…
