Have you been wanting to launch a physical product for your brand but feel stuck with a small audience? Has the size you are aiming for become a moving target for your business? For a long time, I told myself I would launch a product when my audience was bigger. When I hit the next […]
I was talking with a fellow blogger the other day who told me she was really excited to launch a product line, but wasn’t just quite ready to make the investment of time & money right away. She asked, “Was there any way to test out ideas without getting fully committed to launching a product”? […]
Why I believe small, simple products win, especially for first-time launches. When I first started thinking about launching products to my audience, I thought the first one needed to be exciting and creative. I was looking for a big splashing brand moment, something that felt clever and distinctly “me.” Something that would make people say, […]
In the early days of social media, platforms were primarily social graphed. Meaning the algorithm showed your content mostly to people who followed you.

We all make mistakes at work. Some mistakes are small, like missing a report deadline. Some mistakes are larger like launching a product line that bombs. We will all fail sometimes, and this is the story of the worst product I ever launched. Not the most stressful, or even the most complicated, but the one […]
As a long-time digital creator, I love building creative brands, telling stories, and showing up consistently online. I’ve also learned over the years that content alone rarely creates stability, longevity, or real growth in my businesses or for the creators I admired most. Running my blog for over a decade, I’ve had both very successful […]
Have you ever made a business bucket list? It’s summertime which if you’re anything like me, feels like it couldn’t come fast enough this year.
