327: How a Maker Scaled Her Sales and Replaced Her Teaching Salary in 4 Months

What if the key to earning a paycheck from your online store isn't working more hours, but selling smarter? Amanda Whisman did exactly that, growing her sales month over month until she could walk away from her full-time teaching job. Today she's breaking down the strategies that made it possible.

Listen in and learn:

• Why doing the scary thing (and narrowing your focus) allows you to market clearly and scale

• How bundling products together can make it easy for customers to buy

• The focused emails you should be sending — one topic, one call to action, sent consistently — that beat all other marketing channels

• The numbers to track weekly so you can make decisions on data, not feelings.

Trust me, any maker can use these strategies. If you make and sell products, you need to hear what Amanda has to say.
