Bliss & Faith

As a business owner, more specifically a shop owner, customer service is something that is always at the forefront of my business. I’ve been an Etsy shop owner since circa 2007, first selling handmade cards, then jewelry, and now graphic design, and I’ll be the first to say that I’ve had to handle customer services issues…

In the true spirit of what Bliss & Faith is all about, I’m so stoked to make this announcement today! I won’t waste anytime giving you all the juicy details, since you already know what this post is about given the headline. Starting this month, I’m going opening up the Bliss & Faith blog to…

You may have been seeing the term copy or copywriting buzzing about lately and wondered exactly what it was. Up until my rebrand in March, I wondered the same thing, so don’t feel too out of the loop! It was the first time I’d even heard of the term, much less understood what it meant…

I was a super early adapter of Etsy, starting out selling handmade cards on it while I was in college. Needless to say I was a very early adapter of the platform and at the time I thought it was the bees knees. This was circa 2006-ish, if I remember correctly, so Etsy hadn’t grown…

Have you heard who’s the new Jan Brady in town? Yep, its Periscope, the awesome social media platform that lets you video broadcast and have a live chat with your followers simultaneously. Now you may be thinking that this is no new concept, since video broadcasting services like Ustream and Google Hangouts and such have…

We’ve all come across those blogs that as soon as we land on them we want to subscribe. A lot of the time its because the blog has content too good not to pass up and the blog owner has made it super simple to subscribe as well. When I subscribe to a blog, there are…

We all want to blog better, in order to best serve our audience, increase stats, and possibly make money. Its especially important if you blog for your business, because you want to insure that they way you’re conveying your content benefits, promotes, and supports your business. Its one of the main reasons that I use…

One of most reoccurring happenings that I’ve been seeing in the creative entrepreneurial world lately in a lack of authenticity and originality. It appears as if everyone wants to do the same thing, which is actually not a bad thing. Its only bad when individuals fail to, well be an individual, and produce content that…

We’ve all been there, landed on a site that drives us absolutely crazy. At times it can be our very own site. As a blogger and business owner I tend to focus on content most of the time, however as a designer I can never ignore the visual aspects of a site I visit. If…

I’ll admit that the past few months have been stressful! I’ve had a lot on my plate, taking courses, launching new services, and working on some exciting upcoming things that will be happening for Bliss & Faith…and getting ready for a new baby in the fall! If you’re on my mailing list then you probably…

Happy July everyone! We are officially more than half way done with the year, yet there is still so much more to accomplish. Summer makes everyone want to slow down, however I felt is was extremely important that I did not slow my momentum down too much over the past few months. I know that…

Copying and unoriginality have been two topics that have honestly been addressed so much lately, that you can’t turn your head without hearing someone talk about their frustration with it. I’ve addressed it here on the blog several times, with writing helpful posts about community, competition, inspiration, and authenticity, but I strayed from calling it was…

I’ll be the first to say that I’m a huge proponent of investing in yourself, especially as an entrepreneur.  However, many times we really don’t know what areas of our businesses to invest in.  Figuring out if you need to invest in your website’s design, branding, conferences, courses, etc. can be daunting and overwhelming.  Even…

You may not think it, but people like to be told what to do.  Its one reason why people buy solutions to problems and just the education to solve them. As bloggers, we are usually asking, telling, or informing our readers to do something. No matter what it is specifically, we want them to take…
