How we got here
Nearly a decade in the grooming industry
I built a career I was proud of — but I was trading time for money with a hard ceiling. When my daughter was born, I knew I needed to build something different. Something that didn't require me to be there every minute to make money.
First digital product, first sale
I started with Etsy digital downloads — clip art, printables, and eventually KDP interiors. The first sale hit different. It proved the model worked, and I went all in on learning the marketplaces.
Expanding to KDP and Teachers Pay Teachers
Etsy opened the door, but I quickly realized the same skills transferred to Amazon KDP and TPT. Multiple streams, multiple marketplaces — that's how you build something stable.
The Marketplace Method is born
I started sharing what I was learning — what worked, what flopped, what tools I used — and people wanted more. TMM became a community, then a curriculum, then a full education platform for sellers at every level.
Running it all in three hours a day
With VAs running day-to-day operations, I focus on strategy, creation, and community. I spend the rest of my time being a present mom — which was always the whole point.
