We shared the same ideas about wanting to be our own bosses one day, but we were just not sure how to make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karla spent many years in the travel industry, and Vee had worked as a private investigator, but we both wanted a way to escape the 9 to 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, one day we were chatting and brainstorming, and that day over coffee we decided to explore selling online.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We initially delved into making and selling vinyl decals. While this sold well, it was very time consuming, so we started looking for other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We purchased a Cricut machine and watched YouTube videos on how to make the decals. We sold these at local markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We transitioned quickly from physical products to selling printables due to their passive nature and scalability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/littlehaloj.etsy.com\" target=\"_blank\">a store on Etsy<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, our journey has extended and now includes our own website, specializing in selling printables and blogging about party games and ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we are not putting pen to paper or working on our business, we juggle the joys of motherhood as we both have teenagers and family dogs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Family is at the core of what we do and if we are not immersed in writing or working on our business strategy, you will find us planning our next family holiday or simply soaking up the sun down at the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why They Created Their Website and Stores<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We both wanted an outlet for our creativity and to earn an income outside of our normal 9-5 jobs. We didn\u2019t know what direction to take but saw huge potential in the digital download market, so we decided to start there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before launching our business, we did some research and kept an eye on some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/most-successful-etsy-shops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">top Etsy sellers<\/a> in our niche and took note of how many sales they were making each day. This really surprised us and spurred us on knowing that we really could make money doing this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could see that some top sellers were making over 60 sales every day, and based on their average selling price we estimated their earnings to be around $200 per day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was at off-peak times, and their sales dramatically increased over popular times such as Valentine\u2019s Day and Easter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wanting to spend as little money as possible to start this venture, so we bought a Canva subscription, and in the evenings we created a bunch of printable products and listed them on Etsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were so excited and thought we were onto a winning combination. We launched our store just before Easter and had a fantastic response to our Easter-themed products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we had not done enough research into pricing, and despite the initial success, our profits were very thin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn\u2019t enroll in any specific course, but gained our knowledge from different sources: blog articles, podcasts, and YouTube. We chose a niche that we love and are continuously educating ourselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing a niche we are interested in has been crucial in helping to grow Little Halo J into a profitable business that we enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The experience and knowledge we have gained along the way have led us to create an ebook on How to Sell on Etsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book is our way of sharing what we've learned, by providing a practical guide for others looking to embark on a similar path.

This closure lasted three days and occurred without any warning or explanation. This was a pivotal moment that made us reassess our business strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We still do not know what caused the temporary closure of our store, but have heard that from time to time, Etsy does close down brand-new stores. We contacted Etsy numerous times via email and then four days after being closed, Etsy reopened our store and we were back up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could still see the potential in printable products and our initial success was enough to push us into taking the leap and launching our own website. Sales continued to come in and we were making some pocket money, but not enough for us to take our new venture seriously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We poured hours into our website, and although we could see our website traffic growing, for the first 18 months we were still earning very little and our dreams of leaving our regular jobs were put on hold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But all of that changed when we added a blog to our website and started seriously focusing on keywords and SEO. Adding the blog turned out to be a game changer by attracting more visitors and finally turning our website into a profitable business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this time, our Etsy shop also thrived.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/EQzTFnj9GoAjxO6-KYxuOcwFTepM67vfVWA1GvXH8zMSmlhosPcmanFkyVKRjbyLM1xaBcFEYplIXSmXIdWjigfqPeRLVxiqkIFwG1StNch9Jzf63OetP4FK34d7TwGNfcrkT-eUXfGpFtUeZ9WGb5c\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/XS-yfJ9LFwsSxC7QzMUBnaEEtAnI7ZfVttk-m_P_aPNTEyFhRXb7sui0KjoYAPwRUd1tVEYD1KV9AHCKvtHu689ZWuTEGnbyOfoFQUJVU5SdMuvBjB2u1IVGln4bfZlrNJSDNvf9n4a9KNdRYAaDgCI\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/aVlixUbbpT8146SK4LDxE9VTT8zyebSxWHBTxFcipTk_jh7_6MLg1nw-MptEe1byxuuHkxR5Eqxi2-RrqO1gb5W7l-nVThlopuy-iwOjLaN9Ro6PEm-IE-meB-ZHkwZlVc53a72LmzdAtohaVZy87Js\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/GlYa9DJGQ5JkMWR2vCyPps9Kd8Dji14QRcyxXcJON-YbpGb9kn9h5L-dXh0eSRL4OzLCil1dueK4GsuPuuLui-0Mg0rHSe57aUEhynAnEDl5LrAn4_SptxAOlr1MXqSaXiXp3nJPQmeXHaomJwLfme0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Vee and Karla Come Up With Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to creating our printable products, we like to mix things up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We start off with a bit of keyword research with <a href=\"http:\/\/nichepursuits.com\/keysearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">KeySearch<\/a>, checking out what buzzwords are most popular.

We try to make sure that our new content is not only interesting, but also optimized for search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another critical part of our SEO strategy is on-page optimization. This means we optimize our meta descriptions, titles, and images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, we\u2019re creating a strong backlink profile, with internal linking within our site also playing a significant role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So overall our SEO strategy is about creating value for our customers and making it easier for them to find us online. We still have a lot to learn, so it\u2019s a continuous process of trying, testing, and adapting, but the effort is well worth it given the impact it has on our traffic and business growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the latest Google Helpful Content Update, we were lucky to not have been impacted at all, and our traffic continues to go up and up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keyword Research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We look for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/keyword-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">low-competition keywords<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/keysearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KeySearch<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We try to target keywords that have a search volume of over 100 and a difficulty score of under 35.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we try to write the best article we can to rank for those words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Link Building and Internal Linking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/how-to-build-links-for-niche-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Link building<\/a> is a vital part of our SEO strategy. It really helps to improve our website's authority and also drives a lot of referral traffic to us, along with helping with our search engine rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our key strategies we use is internal linking. We use <a href=\"https:\/\/linkwhisper.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Link Whisper<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> to help us with this.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>We see value in spending time linking all our content within our website. This helps to distribute page authority and is hopefully providing more value to our readers.&nbsp;As a bonus, we have found this also allows search engines to crawl our site more effectively.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of backlink building, we actively participate in round-up posts. This approach has been quite effective in gaining quality backlinks and increasing our online visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find these opportunities, we joined numerous Facebook groups dedicated to round-ups. These groups are great resources for connecting with other bloggers and website owners looking to feature various content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By engaging in these communities, we're able to contribute to round-up posts that are relevant to our niche, which in turn helps in building our website's authority and reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Their Content Creation Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our approach to creating content is pretty straightforward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We start with some good old keyword research. Both of us dive into this, looking for topics that not only excite us but are also something that we think our audience is looking for. If we stumble across a blog post idea that we're both keen on, we say, &#8216;Let's write about this!'<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We keep everything organized with a simple Google spreadsheet. It\u2019s our go-to for planning who writes what and when. This way, we\u2019re always on track with our articles, and since we have a pretty similar writing style, it all flows together nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every week, we get together and do our research. It\u2019s a mix of brainstorming, trend-spotting, and adding fresh ideas to our spreadsheet. It's not just about keeping our content updated; it\u2019s also our time to sync up and make sure we\u2019re on the same page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our strategy is centered around providing value to our readers through well-researched and engaging content. By staying in sync with each other\u2019s work and keeping a steady flow of content ideas, we ensure that our blog remains relevant and informative. This has been key to growing our blog and connecting with our audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a good system in place when it comes to publishing content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We average 4 to 5 posts a week and have found that being consistent with posting new content has really helped with our growth. We don\u2019t outsource anything, but as we\u2019re growing, this will be something we will need to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Their Email List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, we currently maintain a small yet engaged email list, primarily comprised of customers who have made purchases or downloaded our freebies. This is an area we are working on as we realize the value in growing your email community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, to grow our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/email-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email list<\/a>, we use incentives on our website, encouraging visitors to subscribe with offers like freebies and discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We use <a href=\"https:\/\/nichepursuits.com\/omnisend\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Omnisend<\/a> as our email provider and currently have 3000 people on our list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We realize the importance of growing and maintaining your email list but this is an area we have not put much focus on. Going forward, this is something we will be working on more actively in the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Their Favorite Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our go-to resources and one we recommend to everyone is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/category\/podcasts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Niche Pursuits Podcast<\/a>. We have gained so many valuable and practical tips and advice from listening to this podcast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One aspect we love is the success stories. These are so motivating and inspirational and also shed light on the many ways to gain success in online business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listening to the in-depth discussions between Spencer and Jared on a multitude of topics, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/types-of-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEO strategies <\/a>and affiliate marketing to niche selection and blogging tips are all extremely relevant for anyone looking to grow their online venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Their Top Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, <a href=\"https:\/\/nichepursuits.com\/canva\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Canva Pro<\/a> is an absolute game-changer for us. It is so user-friendly and has a range of features which we use for quickly and easily creating our printable products and marketing materials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can quickly design professional-looking products, which has saved us so much time and streamlined our workflow significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, KeySearch is our go-to tool for SEO and keyword research. It's easy to use and helpful for understanding market trends, discovering what our audience is searching for, and optimizing our content to rank higher in search results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe this tool has been instrumental in driving organic traffic to our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, the Pinterest native scheduler is a vital part of our marketing strategy. This allows us to plan and schedule our pins so we can maintain a consistent presence on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/best-pinterest-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pinterest<\/a> without having to spend all day on the platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These three tools form the backbone of our digital strategy, which enables us to create, optimize, and promote our products effectively in a highly competitive online marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Their Biggest Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our biggest challenges has been the unpredictable nature of online platforms, particularly when faced with unexpected events like the temporary closure of our Etsy store.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>This experience taught us the importance of diversifying our income sources and not depending solely on one platform.&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, we've realized that outsourcing is not our strong suit. Balancing the need to delegate tasks while maintaining the quality and vision of Little Halo J has been a learning experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand the benefits of outsourcing, but finding the right balance and trusting others with our brand has been a gradual process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Their Greatest Accomplishment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our most significant accomplishment to date, and one that we are most proud of, has been securing a place on the Raptive ad network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From day one, this was a major goal for us, and achieving it was such a special moment in our journey. Being accepted onto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichepursuits.com\/how-to-get-ads-on-your-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Raptive<\/a> is a reward for all of the hard work and dedication we have put into growing our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>This milestone was particularly meaningful because it represented the countless hours spent learning SEO, content creation, and how to keep our audience engaged.&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It's more than just an ad network for us; it shows our ability to create a website that not only attracts substantial traffic but also delivers value to both our audience and advertisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What They Wish They Knew When They Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don't stress about everything being perfect right away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back, we wish I knew that it's totally okay not to have everything figured out from the get-go. You're going to learn and get better as you go along.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Just be consistent with your efforts, and know that it's all part of the journey.&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Don't let the fear of not being perfect hold you back, focus on staying committed and improving bit by bit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Their Main Mistake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our biggest mistake was not starting to write blog posts earlier. While we had always been focused on SEO and keyword research from the beginning, we didn't initially realize the huge value that regular blogging could add to our business in terms of traffic and engagement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, while we've been active on Pinterest, in hindsight, employing a Virtual Assistant (VA) to help us maximize our presence there could have really accelerated our growth and allowed us to focus more on other aspects of our business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizing these has helped refine our strategy and drive our business forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Their Advice for Other Entrepreneurs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our biggest piece of advice is to embrace the journey with all its ups and downs. Building a successful online business is a marathon, not a sprint. Also, don\u2019t be afraid to experiment and be open to pivot when necessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the value of your unique voice and ideas in the market and what sets you apart can often be your greatest strength. We started Little Halo J in our mid-40s, proving that it\u2019s never too late to chase your entrepreneurial dreams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Your dedication and passion can turn your dreams into reality at any stage in life.&nbsp;If we, with our diverse backgrounds and life experiences, could make it happen, so can you.&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe in your vision, and know that success is achievable at any age.<\/p>\n<style>\r\n    .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{\r\n        margin-top: 80px;\nmargin-bottom: 40px;\nmargin-left: 0px;
