If you've ever felt like there has to be a better way to build your handmade business online,... you're absolutely right.

You CAN build a profitable and sustainable handmade business online, without "creating content", "showing up on camera" and "engaging in the comments".

Makers, Artists and Handmade Business Owners around the world are ditching the Influencer strategy of marketing, and building wildly successful businesses that generate consistent sales year round.

It's garbage... because it's based on the assumption that you don't have a "real" business, so all you need to worry about is social media marketing.

The problem with that is... social media marketing is the LAST step in building a profitable and sustainable business... not the first.

AND, it's a completely passive strategy. Who has time to spend months (years) engaging and waiting for their followers to magically decide to purchase someday?

Why isn't this working?

You've tried all the "right" things (posting, sharing, engaging) and you're not getting the results you want.

What's wrong with me?

Maybe it's you and you're just not cut out for this business. It seems to be working for everyone else.

This can't be the only way.

It doesn't feel right. You've tried and it just doesn't resonate or feel authentic to you or your business.

This is exhausting.

Sharing about your personal life, when you don't really want to, is not something you're willing to do.

I can relate. We've ALL been told that using this influencer strategy is the best and most effective way to generate sales online.

But it's just not true. There's a much better (and easier) way.

Is the advice something you can implement TODAY and generate income NOW?

• How many months (years) have you spent "creating content" and "showing up on camera"?
  
• Is it generating cash flow? Or are you still waiting/hoping for your followers to turn into paying customers?
• How much longer are you willing to wait for it to "pay off"?

Is the advice something that has to be done manually, by you, over and over every day, in order to generate results?

• If so, are you happy with the results you're getting?
• Is the amount of work it takes sustainable? (ie: Are you willing/able to continue at this pace for as long as you want your business to exist?)
• Can you take time off without your sales taking time off too?

Is the advice something that builds YOUR business, or someone else's?

• Are you building an audience for yourself, or for Facebook/Etsy etc? (ie: If you left that platform, or it disappeared overnight, could you take your audience with you and still be able to contact and sell to them via email, etc?)

Is the advice focused on getting followers, or getting sales?

• Does is directly generate sales, or does it involve engaging (ie: entertaining) them and hoping they decide to buy someday?
• Does it focus on building an audience of paying customers, or trying to build up your follower count?
• Does it focus on building a Facebook/Insta business? Or a business that can exist (and thrive) off social media as well?

Is the 'expert' giving the advice selling a personal brand (ie: their own name and face)?

• Are they giving advice focused on that end goal, or is it focused on generating actual sales and cash flow?
• Have they built a successful business offline, or does it exist solely online?

and FINALLY ditch the rollercoaster of feast or famine sales?

WITHOUT your sales taking time off too?

and get them to want to buy from you TODAY?

and still make MORE money?

I started my first handmade business online way back in the 1900's. December 1999 to be exact.

I had graduated a few years prior with a marketing degree, and had already worked several years in retail and direct sales both. My experience ran the gamut from mom and pop stores, to Sak's Fifth Avenue.

Back then online sales wasn't that much different than in person, besides the shipping aspect.

But when social media came onto the scene, everyone just forgot about the fundamental principles of sales and marketing that had been working for decades (and still work today).

All of a sudden the marketing and sales process turned completely passive. Now we were just supposed to create a profile and start attracting followers. The sales would come later. After we had built a relationship with them, hopefully they would finally decide to buy something.

It never made any sense to me. We weren't selling anymore, we were just entertaining.

By then I also had a brick and mortar retail store that I was trying to build. But I am an introvert, and I quickly decided that there was no way in hell I was going to become the "face" of my handmade product business by sharing about my personal life, and trying to build relationships with strangers online.

So, I sat down and took stock of where I was, where I wanted to go, and what I was willing to do to get there... and maintain it. I also decided that as long as I was creating my own strategy, I might as well make it as easy as possible.

My philosophy became; What is the least amount of work I can do, to make the most amount of money? I created a plan, crafted my strategy, and... it worked.

I turned my business into a machine.

I called it The Maker CEO Strategy, and

the idea for The Maker Revolution was born.

Mary Borth, Founder

The Maker Revolution

The Maker Revolution was created to teach you the ONE strategy you need to  build a profitable and sustainable business that generates CONSISTENT SALES YEAR ROUND. Without Relying On Social Media.

It's the first of its kind, comprehensive business skills based program specifically for handmade business owners.

I've distilled the entire business framework down to ONE strategy, that you can easily implement and AUTOMATE to run every 30 days, year round, to generate consistent sales.

I teach you the skills you need to implement the processes and systems that drive results.

It's not an online course where you have to complete modules, keep track of pdfs, and progress through the material on someone else's schedule.

And it's not a membership where you have to join another Facebook group to get the content, or show up for Zoom calls and live sessions.

The program is self-paced, so there is no pressure to stay caught up or worry about being behind. If a workshop doesn't resonate with you when it comes out, you can always come back to it whenever you're ready.

When you join today, you'll receive instant access to the first workshop, which teaches you HOW TO SET UP AND IMPLEMENT the Maker CEO Strategy. 

Then, every 7 days (for the next 12 months) you'll receive additional training and resources that teach you the skills, processes and systems you need to customize and automate the strategy to fit YOUR business and YOUR lifestyle.

All of the training and resources are action-oriented and designed to drive results and generate income. There is nothing conceptual or vague like "create content" or "engage".

I provide EVERYTHING you need and deliver it directly to you. All of the resources are bite-sized and EASY to implement, with NO fancy or complicated tech!

Resources include workshops, mini-courses, webinars, masterclasses, checklists, templates and MORE!

The MAKER CEO STRATEGY is a 30-day blueprint that you set up once, then use over and over year round.

You'll get instant access to the MCEO Workshop TODAY, so you can start generating more sales right away. You'll learn the core strategy and everything you need to begin using it in your business right away.

My hope is that you'll finish this program feeling 100% equipped, empowered and inspired to make every decision and take every action required to build your business, on your own terms.

It's the perfect vehicle for growing your handmade business. I know how much time you don't have, and I know how overwhelming it can be to keep every aspect of your business running smoothly.

No more DIYing your business. No more searching on Pinterest for ways to grow your business or increase sales. No more wasting time on ineffective marketing tactics that don't product results. No more guesswork.

It's Your Choice...

If you're like me, you've probably QUIT TOO SOON on more than one business idea... for no other reason than the opinions of other people in your life. That ends today.

The best part of the MAKER CEO STRATEGY is that you only need to set it up ONCE, then you can run it over and over year round to generate consistent sales!

Are we right for each other?

• If typical social media marketing just doesn't feel good to you
• If you KNOW there has to be a better way to build your business
• If you've been looking for more effective ways to generate sales
• If you don't enjoy social media and are tired of trying to force it
• If you don't feel authentic when you try to engage and share online
• If you're tired of feeling like you're doing it wrong
• If you're tired of feeling like it's working for everyone but you
• If you're tired of trying to fit your business into a specific model
• If you're tired of the constant frantic need to "get" sales
• If you want to build an audience of customers, not just followers
• If you know you should trust your gut and make some changes
• If you just need a little help to show you a better way
• If you're ready and willing to shift and make some changes
• If you're ready to build something permanent
• If you're ready to take control and empower yourself
• If you have no desire to share about your personal life on social media
• If you are planning to have your business for the long term
• If you would like to be able to step away or take more time off
• If you're done spending time and energy on social media for very little results
• If you no longer want to rely on social media or vendor events
• If you want to stop spending all your time and energy on social media
• If you just want to make beautiful things and make a living!

I know we haven't even met yet, but I really do want to help you build a profitable business that feels good, down to your soul.

I have been through all the phases of business. I know how satisfying it is to be making money doing what I love. And I know how terrifying it can be to be desperately waiting for the next sale to come in. Those are the times we withdraw into ourselves, tighten our (financial) belts, and fixate on what we don't have.

I want you to be part of our community, but I don't want you to do it in a state of fear. My number one priority is making sure you get exactly what you need from this program, and that includes getting a return on your investment.

Every week you'll get action items and ideas to inspire you and produce results, including ideas to make some cash RIGHT AWAY.

Even if life gets in the way and you need to take some time off from your business, you can always check in every week and generate some quick sales. (You'll be surprised at how even that small consistent effort will generate long term sales and get your customers to start looking forward to hearing from you every month).

So don't let money be the reason you don't invest in yourself.

Because, who else will?

Every thing we do in The Maker Revolution is to set your business up to run like a machine. An early mentor of mine taught me to never do anything more than once in my business.

Meaning; set up systems and processes for everything you do so you're not constantly starting over or trying to re-invent the wheel. And so when you need (or just want) to take a break, your business doesn't come to a grinding halt.

That's what The Maker Revolution is all about.

FAQ

How much time will I have to spend every week on the material? It's up to you. Nothing has to be done in a specific order, so you can work on each area of your business as needed (and as time allows).

How will I get the training and resources every week? You will receive an email notifying you when something new is added to the platform. All workshops are hosted online, so there are no emails or course materials for you to keep track of. 

Do I have to complete a workshop before I can get the next one? No, they will automatically be uploaded to your account every seven days.

What if I'm not good with technology? Is the course platform complicated or difficult to use? No, it's super simple to use, even if you can barely operate your smartphone.

What if I just started my business? Will the workshops still apply to me? Yes! You will definitely be ahead of the game and will be able to start your business with a strong foundation.

When will I get my first workshop? You'll receive the first one as soon as your join, and then you will receive another one every week for the next year.
