Joelle Poulos runs the Etsy shop Joelle’s Emporium and she’s been selling on Etsy since she was just 16 years old. Now five years into her Etsy journey, she makes her full-time living selling her handmade art in various forms, both on Etsy and through her own ecommerce website – JoellesPoulos.com.

etsy shop Joelle's EmporiumHer handmade business affords her the opportunity to travel the world at will and I’m pleased to have her back home in the United Kingdom as my guest this week on the podcast.

Joelle is an artist and a photographer (a skill that has come in very handy for her when it comes to product photography), and having multiple creative outlets has afforded her the benefit of being able to make her living using her different creative skills.

She sells temporary tattoos, art prints, stickers, apparel, and more in her Etsy shop and through her ecommerce website. On her blog she focuses on photography and SEO.

In her own words:

I love to maintain my creativity but still make a living from it
