When you’re selling handmade goods, art prints or digital designs, a glossy website isn’t a prerequisite for success.

In this episode of Creative Juggle Joy Kaylie explains how to build a clear path to purchase without investing in a big site.

She busts the myth that a shop needs its own domain by showing how platforms like Etsy, Zazzle, Folksy and Spoonflower already handle checkout. Your job?

Be findable, relatable and clear about what you sell and where to buy it.

Kaylie walks through using a link‑in‑bio “hub” to guide visitors, building an email list without a site, optimising marketplace SEO and using Pinterest and mini Instagram campaigns to drive traffic.

She also shares seasonal marketing hooks – from International Women’s Day to Father’s Day – and encourages listeners to focus on visibility over perfection.

The February forecast episode of Creative Juggle Joy explores the creative shifts shaping 2026.

Hosts Kaylie Edwards and Delores Naskrent unpack what’s fresh in tools, textures and teaching: the all‑new Affinity app, browser‑based design apps and AI‑powered ideation tools.

They discuss how AI becomes a supportive partner rather than a replacement, echoing reports that 2026 design is about “human‑first, AI‑powered creativity” with calm palettes, tactile details and intentional imperfections.

Delores celebrates the rise of flexible learning platforms like Skool and Circle, which blend community and courses into one home.

The hosts then dive into aesthetic trends.

Kaylie and Delores finish with a pep‑talk on creative longevity: pick your lane, embrace technology as an assistant, and build sustainable rhythms that align with family life and joy.

After a year packed with challenges, course launches and shows, Delores admits she’s drifted from her own creative quiet and outlines how she plans to come home to it.

She shares the gentle anchors she’s holding onto: protecting her energy by stepping away from endless tabs and AI rabbit holes, bringing back journaling and sketching, reconnecting with nature, carving out true downtime with family, and honouring the ebb and flow of creative seasons.

Delores invites you to pause, reflect and join her in embracing a slower, more intentional creative rhythm.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, this conversation will reassure you that you’re not alone.

Give it a listen, support the show and let’s make space for lives that feel like art.

Marketplace upheaval in 2025 left many creatives feeling whiplash.

Etsy’s gross merchandise sales fell 6.5% year‑over‑year in early 2025 and active buyers dropped 3.4% to 88.5 million.

Other platforms tweaked fees and algorithms, leaving sellers confused and worried about their income.

But this co‑hosted episode with Kaylie Edwards and Delores Naskrent isn’t about doom; it’s about empowerment. They unpack the data, share insights from industry analysts and discuss why relying on one marketplace is risky.

Kaylie explains why she’s building her own website first and using platforms like Etsy as tools rather than a foundation.

Delores reflects on her shift from Skillshare to her own membership and the success her students are finding with Card Isle.

Together they explore micro‑offers, diversifying income streams and building an ecosystem that aligns with your energy.

Tune in for practical tips on creating scalable products, evaluating platforms, and protecting your creative joy.

Delores sits down with digital product strategist Eden Fried to demystify Etsy and share why her Go Digital on Etsy Summit has become a hub for creative women.

Eden explains that summits compress months of learning into a few powerful days and that success on Etsy isn’t reserved for a chosen few—it’s accessible to anyone willing to start.

She shares how the summit was born from her own search for clear guidance, why digital products offer unmatched freedom and scalability, and how hearing others’ missteps can inspire action.

You’ll learn why waiting for “perfect” is a trap, how to choose the right sessions, and why digital marketplaces make selling more achievable than ever.

Are you craving more calm and clarity in your creative business?

In this intimate solo episode, Delores invites you into her studio as she maps out the entire year of 2026—and discovers that planning ahead can feel like freedom.

With a mug of coffee and her iPad, she reflects on the lessons she’s learned from last year, the rhythm her programs now have, and how a clear roadmap brings breathing space for art, rest and family.

Delores shares why batching content, building a cadence for her offers (Bloom & Repeat, 5‑Card Challenges, Thrive Sessions and the Template Club), and setting aside time for art licensing and personal projects are giving her peace in the year ahead.

She also opens up about leaving her agent, creating a new portfolio, and getting coaching through Ness’s Art Business Bootcamp to pitch her own art.

Finally, she invites you to start small with your own planning—a free goal planner download is available in the show notes.

Tune in to hear how planning ahead can calm the chaos and help you find joy in your creative process.

If the thought of “new year, new you” leaves you feeling frazzled, this episode is your gentle exhale.

Kaylie and Delores invite you to approach 2026 with spaciousness rather than sprinting, focusing on clarity, soft structure and making room for real life.

From clearing moving boxes and nurturing family routines to batching creative work and leaning on AI assistants, they share what’s actually working for them — and how you can apply it in your own creative practice.

Hear Kaylie explain why she’s prioritising simplification and ease this year,

Delores reflects on the power of pre‑planning and how her AI helper “Piper” helped her translate a chaotic calendar into a doable annual plan.

They also celebrate community wins, from new art businesses to published books, and remind you that simply keeping your creative spark alive is worth honouring.

Key takeaways:

• A “reset” doesn’t mean starting from scratch — it’s about gentle rebalancing and rebuilding after a busy season.
• Clarity and simplification are guiding themes for both hosts in 2026.
• Lean on systems and tools that reduce friction: sticky notes, Airtable, ClickUp, Notion, Google Workspace and AI assistants like Piper or Kaylen.
• Protect creative days and rebuild creative muscles with low‑pressure sessions; progress matters more than perfection.
• Celebrate every win, big or small. Launching a card line, self‑publishing a book or simply keeping your ideas alive all count.

Tune in for a dose of permission to slow down, reset kindly and build momentum from a place of calm.
