Jenni Waldrop is a corporate job hating, former Fortune 500 “minion” turned 6-figure Etsy seller, success blogger, and owner of the Etsy shop, , where she sells beautifully designed digital and printed prints with a touch of sarcasm. She describes herself as an entrepreneur and the “maker of other businesses” largely because her Etsy success blog has proven to be a valuable resource for new and aspiring Etsy sellers. On this week's episode, Jenni shares her journey from her corporate working life to growing a six figure business. She explains how, although she has worked in marketing departments in the corporate world, after becoming an entrepreneur, she quickly learned that marketing your own products and services is vastly different than the way the big corporate businesses do things. Throughout the course of her journey, Jenni became quite savvy at using SEO techniques, discovering what works and doesn’t work for marketing her business, and now she teaches other Etsy sellers about SEO strategies and success strategies to help them grow their businesses. We discuss everything from living the “solopreneur life” and coping with “solopreneur isolation” to outsourcing tasks, connecting with your target customer, finding an Etsy tribe to brainstorm and hash out ideas with, as well as how to drive targeted traffic to your shop to increase your ROI.
