How to sell crafts and digital art and become profitable in just a few weeks

Hi there! I’m Ilyssa from Domestic Heights.

I remember the day I decided to quit my corporate job so vividly. I was sitting at my desk having gotten off yet another call about the same exact thing that had not made any progress in the entire 6 months I had been out. 

I had just returned from maternity leave after my second baby and in this exhausted haze, I thought about what kind of example I was being to my kids. Is this the kind of professional experience I wanted them to have when they grew up? Did I want them to waste away in uninspired, unproductive misery?

The answer was obvious and a week later I quit. While it seemed like an abrupt ending, in retrospect, it had been brewing for quite some time. It just took me a while because I had sunk so much into my career from two masters degrees to  15 years of a slow and deliberate climb through the corporate trenches. 

I knew I wanted to start something creative on my own. 6 month of meandering business development followed. I didn’t expect it to happen over night but trying to start something from nothing on my own made my corporate career look like a breeze.

The problem was I had a hard time translating some of those theoretical concepts and big corporate experiences to something that was manageable yet effective for a single person.

In the past 3 years, I managed to overcome some of those initial hurdles. I have scaled multiple creative ventures from nothing to profitable 200k+ page views per month web based businesses in a matter of months. I don’t have staff, I don’t have a virtual assistant and I don’t have a marketing team. I do it all myself. Oh, I even squeeze in digital marketing consulting on the side.

I see so many creatives out there with lack luster careers, growing increasingly frustrated by their outlooks professionally. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to quit my job but I recognize this isn’t the case for most people. I understand so much of your identify, not to mention financial security is tied to that job. 

That is why I created this course. Crafty Business incorporates all the things I’ve learned in my corporate career and ties it together with some tactical advice on how to start that creative business you’ve always wanted.

No, this isn’t some month’s salary costing e-course that promises you fame and fortune like the small handful of lucky past students that started half a decade ago and now are making 7 figure incomes blogging about blogging.

Crafty Business pulls from my MBA from a top 10 program in the US, decade long experience in developing product, marketing experience for managing multi-million dollar product lines and most importantly, experience using consumer level tools and platforms like Etsy to grow a creative business.

I want you to be able to just start that side business and grow it without leaving the comforts of your current job or career.

Here is a little proof point:

A few months ago, I decided to run a little experiment on Etsy... I opened a flower templates shop:

I turned it into a profitable source of income in just a couple of months:

No, it’s not a salary replacement (yet). But I don’t have to maintain it at all and it’s a few hundred dollars extra I wouldn’t have otherwise. I literally set it up, checked on it for the first few weeks (15 mins per week) and let it run. I get a few customer inquiries a week that require at most 5 to 10 minutes.

The most amazing part of this whole experiment was all the things I’m selling here I give away for free on my site! 

How did I do this? Well, that’s exactly what I go over in Crafty Business.

Hi, I’m Ilyssa, the creator Crafty Business

I’m the founder of Domestic Heights, a resource for DIY, Home Decor and Crafts. I’m also a recovering corporate worker bee now finally on my path to doing what I love – designing handmade goods.

No, I’m not some artisan that stumbled upon a business selling something I made in my garage after a decade. I don’t have a personal struggle story where I accidentally figured out that one thing that made me millions that’s like totally not repeatable for anyone else.

I do, however, have multiple graduate degrees one of which is an MBA from a top ranked program (MIT Sloan) and 15+ years building and launching multi-million dollar products for fortune 100 companies.

And I’m sharing all of that knowledge as it is applied to handmade businesses with you here in Crafty Business.

The thing is, all successful businesses sit on top of the same fundamental building blocks. I’ve broken down those fundamentals into digestible and tactical tidbits along with a targeted plan for executing on that handmade business plan.

Why am I doing this? 

Because I believe in entrepreneurship as a the keys to financial independence. I believe everyone deserves to make a living doing what they love. I believe anyone equipped with the knowledge and the right attitude can be successful. And most importantly, I believe in you.
