#59 - How Handmade Sellers Are Making £1k in Just 7 Days (Without a Huge Audience)

🎧 If you’ve ever thought “I just need more followers to start making decent sales,” this episode is your wake-up call.

Meet Sam and Lydia - two handmade business owners using the same platform, same tools, even similar products. But one made over £1k in just 5 days… with less than 400 followers. The difference? Lydia had a plan. 👏

In this episode, we’re diving into:
        •        Why engagement is the real currency on social media (not your follower count)
        •        How to actually show up in stories and reels without sounding like a pushy salesperson
        •        The 3-step sales content system you can use right now to boost sales from your existing audience
        •        What to do if you’re stuck in “content limbo” with a quiet shop and zero urgency

Plus, I’m sharing the exact next step to take if you want to turn your content into conversions this summer.

🎯 Your homework: Pick ONE product and apply these three simple steps this week. Trust me, you’ll be amazed at what’s possible.
