“FREE Jen and Elke’s “150 Trending Zazzle Niches and Designs” Guide”
In this episode of The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast, we’re discussing why you don’t need to have business skills or a business background to have a successful eCommerce business.
We often tell ourselves defeating stories about how we’re not capable or good at something. These stories stop us from taking risks and achieving our dream life. We want to help shift the narrative for you. We assure you that you CAN grow a successful eCommerce business, even without business knowledge! Today, we’ll tell you the stories of two of our students who changed their mindset and found success on Zazzle without prior business experience.
But before we dive right in, let us introduce ourselves in case this is your first visit. Welcome to The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast. We’re your hosts, Jen and Elke Clarke. We are a mother and daughter team that started Zazzle e-commerce businesses over 10 years ago and has sold over 15 million dollars-worth and counting of products on Zazzle.
The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast is for you, the creative. We share actionable steps that you can take to make money in your e-commerce business. In each episode, we will take you one step closer to achieving freedom with your time, location, and finances.
We believe that a profitable e-commerce business is what opens the doors for you to start living your dream life if you work smarter, not harder, use the right tools and follow the proven roadmap. We’re here to give you the tools you need to make your dream life happen. Let’s get started!
And today we’re focusing on how you can start growing your own e-commerce business without prior business experience. For all the details, listen to the ENTIRE episode of The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast on your preferred streaming platform.
Many creative people think that they only have skills in more artistic and imaginative areas. Numbers and data scare them. The idea of having to run an e-commerce business based on facts and figures can feel extremely overwhelming. So many people don’t even try.
If this is where your head is at, we totally get it. This is how we felt too! But we challenge you to change your mindset. Remember that just because it’s your experience right now doesn’t mean it’s the whole truth. If you use the right tools and follow a proven business plan, you can learn whatever you need to learn to be successful with your e-commerce business.
If you happen to be an introvert, you may feel even more stuck. Self-doubt and introversion are a bad combination. You may feel nervous to reach out and ask the questions so you can get the help you need.
Please know that we are right there with you. We are introverts, and we totally understand how scary it is to ask for help. That’s why we created a community through our course alumni where you can feel safe and empowered to receive help.
In this episode we feature two wonderful creatives who wanted help but struggled because they felt too shy to ask and thought the business side was too hard to learn.
Judy struggled for years to make money on Zazzle. She was working so hard but not seeing results. She felt frustrated and felt that it was because she wasn’t capable.
However, Judy eventually reached out for help and signed up to take our course. After that, Judy actually made more in one month than she had in her whole time on Zazzle prior to taking our course.
Now when she’s working on her Zazzle business, Judy asks herself, “What would Jen and Elke say?” We’re so honored that Judy reached out to us and got the help she needed to see her business thrive!
Like Judy, Wendy was also struggling on Zazzle and not seeing the results she wanted. She felt scared to ask for help– she didn’t even know what to ask about the numbers!
After coming into our course community, Wendy felt empowered to ask the right questions. And now she has made over $65,000 in lifetime earnings on Zazzle.
We are so proud of both Judy and Wendy for the hard work they’ve done. It’s paying off! And it’s because they got the help they needed. They are both following a business plan that works. And it’s allowing them to achieve more than they ever thought possible.
Knowing your numbers in your business doesn’t have to be scary. It’s about taking ownership of your business. When you look at the numbers in the right way, it empowers you! It’s all something you can learn with the right tools. Remember that if you don’t know how to do something, it just means that you don’t know how to do it YET. With the right help, you CAN learn how to run a successful eCommerce business as a creative!
