Frequently Asked Questions


1. What is Handmade Hustle?

Handmade Hustle is a business education platform for creative entrepreneurs who sell handmade products. We offer straightforward, non-sleazy marketing education to help you grow your business through email marketing, sales funnels, and smart strategy—no tech degree required.

2. Who is Handmade Hustle for?

We’re here for women makers, crafters, and artists—especially those who started their business out of a love for creating, not marketing. If you're tired of trying to crack the algorithm and want to build a sustainable, profitable business, you're in the right place.

3. I’m just starting out—will this still help me?

4. What kind of content do you offer?

We offer blog posts, tutorials, free downloads, email newsletter tips, and paid products (like digital guides and templates) that teach you how to:

  • Grow an email list from scratch

  • Create a freebie that attracts your ideal customer

  • Build simple sales funnels that run on autopilot

  • Sell without feeling sleazy

  • And more!

5. What makes Handmade Hustle different from other business education?

We focus on gentle, ethical marketing that feels right for creatives—not hype, hustle culture, or pushy sales tactics. Everything we teach is built for handmade business owners by someone who understands what it’s like to balance creativity with entrepreneurship.

6. Do I need to be tech-savvy to implement your advice?

Nope! Our step-by-step resources are designed for non-techy creatives. You’ll learn how to build systems (like email funnels) without needing a developer, designer, or marketing degree.

Start by downloading our free guide: The Maker’s Guide to a Simple Sales Funnel – it walks you through the very first steps to turning your followers into customers using email and automation. (P.S. It’s free!)

8. Is this only for handmade sellers?

Our content is most relevant for handmade product sellers, but service-based creatives (like pattern designers, makers who teach workshops, or digital product sellers) also find our marketing tips super helpful.

9. Where can I get support or ask questions?

You can always hit reply to any of our emails and we’ll respond personally. We’re also building a community space where makers like you can connect, share, and learn together. Stay tuned!

10. Can I share Handmade Hustle with a friend?

Yes, please! We love when our community grows through word of mouth. If you know another maker who wants to build a sustainable business without selling their soul to social media, send them our way!
