THE WORK IN PROGRESS CLUB - my monthly letter subscription for creative business owners. Prompts, challenges, and illustrated collectibles delivered straight to your door! Join now (worldwide shipping included) → https://www.thecreativejuiceclub.com/workinprogress ✨ ABOUT THIS EPISODE If you've been told you need to grow your email list but nobody has actually told you how to get people onto it - this episode is for you! Most advice about lead magnets is aimed at service-based businesses. Coaches, consultants and people who teach. But what about you...the candle maker, illustrator, ceramicist and maker? What do you even give away for free when the thing you make is the product? In this episode I'm sharing 6 lead magnet ideas that actually work for product-based creative businesses - with real examples for each one so you can see exactly how they might apply to what you do. This episode is perfect for: • Handmade sellers who want to grow their mailing list • Artists and illustrators selling prints or original work • Creative business owners who don't want to teach to grow their audience • Makers who want more consistent sales without relying on social media • Anyone who's been putting off building an email list because it felt too complicated ✨ WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Why most lead magnet advice doesn't work for product sellers - and what to do instead • How to attract your ideal buyer onto your mailing list before they're ready to buy • 6 specific lead magnet formats with real examples for creative product businesses • Why a discount isn't always the best option (and what works better) • How to think about your lead magnet as a filter, not just a freebie If you've been searching for how to grow your email list as an artist, how to get more customers for your handmade business, or how to build a mailing list when you sell physical products - this will give you the ideas and confidence to get started. ✨ MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE (*Some links may be affiliate links, but I only recommend tools I genuinely use and trust.)

If you've been trying to build a creative business and it feels like it only works when you're having a good week - then this is the episode I wish someone had made for me when I was starting out!

This is a masterclass in building a creative business that actually generates income that lasts - not just when you're posting every day, or when you’re full of energy…but properly and sustainably. We cover income streams, building around a full life, which income streams I'm still earning from years later, and how to scale without burning out. ✨ WHAT'S COVERED * The 5 income streams that changed my creative business (and what they actually pay) * How to build when you don't have loads of time or energy * My story - how I built from scratch through every messy season * Why I stopped hustling and what I built instead * Which income streams are still earning years later (and which died) * How to scale without doing more 🔗 EVERYTHING MENTIONED IS LINKED BELOW Some links may be affiliate links - I only ever recommend tools I actually use and trust.

Join the Work In Progress Club - the monthly letter for creative business owners that keeps your business moving forward → https://www.thecreativejuiceclub.com/workinprogress [https://www.thecreativejuiceclub.com/workinprogress] ABOUT THIS EPISODE This isn't a highlight reel…it’s the honest version of how I went from costume maker on one of the biggest live shows in the world, to building a full time creative business - through imposter syndrome, a global pandemic, new parenthood, and a £60 AdSense payment that changed everything. If you've ever felt like you don't have the right background, the right timing, or the right conditions to build something real - this one's for you. This episode is perfect for: * Creatives who are building a business around a very full life * Anyone who feels like an imposter in the space they're trying to enter * Side hustlers wondering if and when they'll ever make the leap to full time * Creative business owners who are tired of polished success stories * Anyone who needs to hear that slow, consistent progress is still progress WHAT YOU'LL LEARN * Why the thing you're supposed to be doing doesn't always announce itself clearly * Why you don't need a plan to start - you just need to start * How imposter syndrome almost always comes from an unconventional path, not a lack of talent * Why the businesses that last are built to survive the seasons where life takes over * What proof actually looks like in the early stages of building something real * Why slow, consistent effort compounds over time - even when it doesn't feel like it If you've been searching for how to turn a side hustle into a full time income, how to build a creative business without the right qualifications, or how to keep going when life gets in the way - this video will give you an honest, realistic answer.

After years of building, testing (and making some expensive mistakes), I'm sharing the honest truth about what's still making me money years later, what declined when I stepped back, and the simple framework I now use to decide what's actually worth building. If you've ever wondered whether passive income is actually real, or felt like your sales only happen when you're constantly online and posting - this one will completely reframe how you think about building income in your creative business. This episode is perfect for: * Creative business owners who want income that doesn't rely on them showing up every single day * Artists and makers wondering which income streams are actually worth building * Creatives juggling business with a very full life - family, jobs, or just real life * Anyone who's tried passive income and wondered why it isn't working the way they hoped * Small business owners ready to build something more sustainable WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: * Why passive income isn't as hands-off as people make it sound * The income stream I built that declined when I stepped back - and what it taught me * The email sequence, content strategy and digital products still working for me years later * A simple effort vs return framework to help you decide what's worth building in your creative business * How to actually start building compounding income from wherever you are right now If you've been searching for how to build passive income as a creative, how to create consistent income in your art business, which income streams last long term, or how to build a sustainable creative business without burning out - this video will give you a practical, honest answer.

Join now (worldwide shipping included) → https://www.thecreativejuiceclub.com/workinprogress [https://www.thecreativejuiceclub.com/workinprogress] ABOUT THIS EPISODE: I used to think my products had to be perfect - the best artwork, the most impressive packaging, the most polished version of everything. But what I've learnt is that people don't just buy the best product. They buy what they feel connected to. They buy the story, the value and the meaning behind it. In this episode, I'm walking you through the 6 lessons I'm applying to my new income stream - The Work in Progress Club - a monthly letter subscription for creative business owners. I'm building it completely differently this time based on everything I've learnt about what actually makes people buy, and I'm sharing the whole process in real time so you can see exactly how I'm thinking about sustainable growth, connection over perfection, and building something that lasts. If you're a creative business owner trying to build recurring income, launch a new product, or grow what you already have without burning out, this breakdown will help you understand what actually matters beyond just making your products perfect. This episode is perfect for: * Creative business owners looking to build recurring income * Artists and makers launching subscriptions or memberships * Product-based creatives who want sustainable growth * Anyone feeling the pressure to make everything "perfect" before launching WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: * Why trending doesn't mean it's right for you (and how to find your angle) * How to build something that fits your real life and capacity * Why the value isn't just the physical product * How to share the process and story people actually connect with * Why you need to check the numbers before making it prettier * How sustainable growth beats impressive-looking chaos every time MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: (*Some links are affiliate links, but I only recommend tools I genuinely use and trust.)
