#4: 3 Ways to Make More Sales (Without Feeling Salesy)

listen now on

Selling your work as a creative can feel…awkward. Like you're shouting into the void or annoying people by reminding them you have a shop. But what if selling didn't feel pushy or cringey? What if it felt empowering - and actually worked?

This one’s for every creative who’s ever thought, “I’m showing up… but no one’s buying!” In today’s episode, I’m digging into the truth behind why your audience might not be buying - and how to change that without turning into a walking sales pitch.

I’m sharing what I’ve learned from thousands of product sales (and quite a few mistakes) over the last five years of running Fizz and Flourish - from my old Etsy days to my own shop, from digital products to apparel. If you’ve ever felt awkward about promoting your work or unsure how to convert followers into customers, this episode will be a game-changer.

What We Cover in This Episode:

  1. Why people aren’t buying (even when they love your work)

  2. How to talk about your products without sounding like a broken record

  3. The mindset shift that makes selling feel easier

  4. Three practical strategies to help your audience actually buy from you

  5. Why email marketing is the sales tool you're probably overlooking

  1. Repetition isn’t annoying - it’s reassuring. People need to hear about your product more than once to take action.

  2. Selling isn’t about convincing - it’s about connecting. Focus on how your product helps or resonates.

  3. Social media is borrowed land - email is your home base. Start building your list now (even if it’s tiny).
