In today’s episode, we dive deep into the world of trademarks, an essential - but often misunderstood - part of protecting your brand and your business so that you never get into legal trouble. Because I bet you AREN'T someone who wants to get a little 'ol "cease and desist" letter in the mail, like... ever. Special guest and trademark lawyer Joey Vitale shares common misconceptions about trademarks vs LLCs vs domain names, why you need to protect your brand EARLY and the risks of waiting, how to work through the trademark application process that is notorious for being a little challenging, why so many applications get rejected and how to prevent that from happening to you, how to protect your logo and business name and slogan from copycats, and more.
Joey Vitale is a trademark attorney (also known as a "brand legitimizer") for online entrepreneurs, course creators, and product based businesses. With his law firm and his courses, Joey helps online business owners call legal dibs on their brand name and signature methods so they never have to worry about losing their brand overnight. Joey has helped thousands of entrepreneurs and has spoken all over the country to help business owners stay safe and thriving.

If your focus leading up to Black Friday is “save the date” posts and “don’t forget that our biggest sale of the year is coming up!” announcements, you are making the BIGGEST mistake possible and preventing hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars of sales during the most impactful holiday shopping period of the entire year.
During these next two weeks, your main purpose should not be to PROMOTE your PROMOTION.
Think about it this way: if someone isn’t interested in your product at full price, they won’t care about it even if it’s 80% off during Black Friday no matter HOW many times you tell them that it’s going to be 80% off.
Instead, during these next two weeks, your main purpose is to create a strong sales runway that increases demand and desire of your products NOW so that WHEN you drop the promotion, it is a no brainer for anyone who hasn’t purchased from you YET.
And even better? When you create a strong sales runway now, you’ll get sales NOW and at full price, and ALSO hype up your products for your best Black Friday weekend ever for those who are waiting for the cherry on top.
Tune in to this week’s episode to learn how to prevent this mistake and how to create demand and desirability content for your products so you have your BEST holiday season yet.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the three pillars required for a successful holiday campaign so that you can make the MOST of the Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday hype AND before AND after… through 3 pillars that are required for success: Promotion, People, and Performance.
Most business owners only focus on promotions during the holiday season, without realizing that increasing people and increasing performance is what leads QUANTUM LEAPS! Which is why we'll be diving into strategy for all 3 components so that you see the sales you want.
During this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to choose your Black Friday promotion so that it stands out AND is easy for customers to understand so that they actually buy… and the top mistakes to AVOID that would otherwise cause your promotion to be watered down, confusing, or lost in a sea of others (which DOESN’T lead to sales).
- How to run a marketing campaign leading up to Black Friday that DOESN’T include a massive discount but still is relevant to the season so that you keep your profits AND make more sales.
- The importance of increasing PEOPLE (aka the size of your audience) for the success of your promotion… and a few quick tips on how to get more eyeballs to your business now. The goal is simple: more eyes on your brand = more sales when your promotion goes live.
- The importance of increasing PERFORMANCE above all else and how to improve your email marketing metrics, social media engagement, and website conversion. Performance is key to maximizing impact and even small improvements in email open rates, click-through rates, and engagement can lead to massive, massive growth.
- The performance metrics that matter, how influencing these metrics can make a massive impact, and how to keep assessing what’s working (and what’s not) to keep increasing YOUR performance.

- Is it possible to reach your goals without wholesale? All my items are hand made and unique

- How do you increase brand awareness and lead conversion in a saturated and noisy online market?
SOCIAL MEDIA

By now, you probably already know the importance of marketing.
Because marketing is what gets you in front of more people.
If you aren't getting in front of people, you won't have any customers.
If you don't have any customers, you aren't making any money!
Most small business avoid marketing because it just doesn't come naturally… but here’s the thing, no one and I mean no one was born a natural marketer or a natural promoter or a natural salesperson. It’s a skill, a REQUIRED skill, that you can learn. The people who are good at it just have been around it and have learned it and embodied it, that’s it. And if learning this new skill is uncomfortable at first, then that just means you are learning something new and growing – isn't that a GOOD thing?
During this episode of the Product Biz Podcast, we talk about defining your one marketing project that will allow you to learn and grow both as a business owner AND as a business.
You'll learn why discernment is a critical skill that every single small business owner needs... and how to determine if the shiny object or new idea actually will impact your goals and get you closer to where you want to be, or if it’s simply a distraction.
You'll learn how to make your progress faster and specific questions to ask yourself when new items on your to-do list come up to make the SMART decision.
And we'll talk about the power of discipline to help you reach your goals.
These concepts are the 80% of the work when it leads to business growth… and the rest, only 20%, is the mechanics. The sooner you understand what it takes to see result, the sooner you become the person able to GET results.

The value of your time as the CEO of your business and understanding what’s required of the CEO What support to get in your business FIRST so that you can be more efficient What roles you should let GO of in order to let IN more growth The difference between running a business vs. being an employee inside your own business Uncovering the myth behind “my products are too hard to teach others to make them for me” How to make sure you have the time, space, clarity, and mental energy for what matters most in your business How to get started with hiring in your business
These are the projects, tasks, skills, that actually move the needle in your business.
And another big part of productivity is making sure the RIGHT things aren’t getting the bare bones, the crumbs, the leftover, the barely-there energy because all of your main energy has been spent on OTHER areas of your business that AREN’T necessarily the “right” things to be focusing on.
If you’re struggling to make more sales in your business, I’m willing to bet you are also struggling to find time for marketing and selling… and if that’s the case, it’s time to rethink your approach.
During today’s episode, we will dive deep into what support to get in your business first, what roles to hire first, and how to free up your time and energy, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: growing your business.

The million dollar question:
“I have SO much to do in my business AND I have so many responsibilities in life, how can I get MORE done with the amount of time that I do have?”
“How can I get MORE done so I can see results SOONER?”
We’re diving deep into these questions during today’s episode of The Product Biz Podcast… and the answers are going to completely shift how you look at your business and how you run your business.
Because at the end of the day, SO much of society’s conditioning is actually making us the OPPOSITE of productive. It’s making us unable to focus. It’s making us crave change and more change and more change. Which leads to context switching, burnout, chasing after dopamine via doomscrolling, and LESS productivity no matter how many tabs you have open or how many things you TRY to do at once.
So WHAT is the answer on how to get more done if doing everything at once is NOT working?
In this episode, you'll learn practical strategies to rewire your brain in a way that will allow you to ACTUALLY get shit done in both business and personal life… without the burnout.

There are two COMMON challenges most small business owners face which costs them THOUSANDS:
The first challenge is not knowing what problem their product solves.
The second challenge is DOUBTING the significance of that problem.
Knowing the specific problem your product solves is the backbone of your branding, your marketing, your overall business strategy. Knowing this can create GREAT pieces of content for social media vs. generic, vanilla, boring pieces of content on social media that leads to low engagement and nonexistent sales. Knowing this can create GREAT content for email marketing vs. general, vanilla, boring pieces of content for email marketing that leads to barely any opens or clicks to your website. Knowing this can allow you to CONNECT with your followers, your email subscribers, your target audience and allows your customers to KNOW what you stand for.
EVERY product solves a problem, from ceramics to jewelry to skincare to women's fashion and more. If you aren't sure what problem your product solves, this episode will help you get clarity on this fundamental part of your brand.
And then, there’s the other challenge. Which is the myth of "Big" vs. "Small" problems.
If you think that your products don't solve a “big” enough problem, you'll walk away from this episode understanding the importance of owning the value your product brings to customers. And how thinking that your products don't solve a “big” enough problem is actually rooted in fear...
During this episode, you’ll understand how to challenge your beliefs about the value of your products and how to show up authentically for your products, your business, AND your customers.

It’s time for a little bit of honesty hour involving Instagram, if “rich” content is enough, and if you can expect to see success, or even growth, on Instagram when you are getting less than 200 views per reel or a handful of likes per post.
During this episode of The Product Biz Podcast, you'll learn why your content might be falling flat, how to use your engagement to test your messaging with every single post, how to calculate how many sales to expect from each post based on your engagement (so you can see in plain daylight why your content might not be converting), the importance of WHY Instagram actually matters (and why it matters MORE than SEO) in the digital world we live in, and more.
Plus, you'll hear THREE types of content idea, new ways to approach your content that you probably haven't heard of, that will allow you to stand out from the sea vanilla content that is otherwise constant regurgitated on Instagram so you DO start to stand out and get real traction.

As an introvert who is learned to be super independent from an extremely young age… I didn't realize the power of proximity until I started my own business.
Back when I first started Plant Based Beauty, I was proud to do everything via me, myself, and I. I had a few small business owner friends who I met at markets that I would talk to about business every now and then, but I honestly felt awkward and out of place if I would ask them business questions. It didn't take long to realize that I didn't have anyone to turn to that actually understood what it meant to run a product based business, and the only “people” I had to talk to were Google, random blog posts, and other random insights from the internet.
When I left my full time job to focus on Plant Based Beauty fully, I KNEW that sitting behind my laptop and bring my phone by myself 24/7 was NOT going to be the most conducive environment to growth.
And I KNEW that when people want to run a faster mile, they join a running group that runs FASTER than them.
What I am sharing with you during today’s podcast episode is the reason WHY it’s so important to be around those that are “running faster than you”. We talk about borrowing the belief of others, how this can shift your perception of what’s even possible for you, the importance of being in an environment that uplifts you (rather than those Facebook groups that just complain about how hard it is to run a business, how Etsy is evil, and how social media is impossible...), how community prevents self-sabotage, and SO much more.
Because the truth is, if you are not surrounded by people who are contributing to your evolution, consider that part of why your evolution may feel more like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

How many times have you heard the phrase SALES FUNNEL and either wondered "what the hell does THAT mean?" or "HOW the hell do I do that for my business?"
In today’s episode, I interview Tracy Matthews and she spills the beans on how to create automatic sales in your business.
We’re talking the type of sales that come when someone opts in to your email list for your 20% off code… and then they actually use that coupon code and buy from you AND come back to buy AGAIN… from having the right sales funnel in place.
And the type of sales that come from SMS text message marketing and how to do it RIGHT - either in a very personal way or in a more scalable way.
And the type of sales that come from turning your first time customer into a REPEAT customer.
These are all sales that you can build out to become automatic when you learn how to leverage the sales funnels that Tracy shares with you today.
Tracy Matthews is the founder of Flourish & Thrive Academy and several companies in the jewelry and creative space. She supports hundreds of thousands of small business owners through her programs, best-selling book [The Desired Brand Effect}, and weekly podcast {Thrive b y Design] to help them stand out in a saturated market with their products.

Have you ever thought about being a coach, educator, or speaker, where you are impacting others and changing lives with something you are passionate about and want to share with the world? Maybe you already are a coach... or maybe you've secretly had dreams of sharing your knowledge with others by becoming a coach.
My journey from corporate career, to full-time small business owner, to full-time coach, and the resources and support that led me to working with over 160 members across my 2 coaching programsHow my coach, James Wedmore, and his program Business By Design transformed my business and specifically how it can help you grow your own coaching businessAdvice directly from James for coaches who are coming out with multiple new offers over and over that AREN'T working and what makes Business By Design different than any other coach or program out thereThe Authority Bootcamp BONUSES you receive from me if you enroll in Business By Design before doors close on June 20!
As you probably already know, I originally started Plant Based Beauty from a passion for DIY skincare that turned into a business without ever expecting it to. And then before I knew it, I took the leap to leave my full-time job, focused entirely on Plant Based Beauty, and grew it to multiple 6 figures. Somewhere along the way I realized that I had MORE purpose to uncover during this one life of mine... And I realized that I went through all the hardships, challenges, trial and error to learn how to grow and scale my small business in order to help other small business owners do the same. And that's exactly how Etsy Algorithm Secrets and Product Biz Academy were born.
One of the most impactful decisions I made to be able to grow my coaching business to where it is now, was signing up to work with James Wedmore as my own business coach. The reason Product Biz Academy and Etsy Algorithm Secrets are programs that my members LOVE, that get my members RESULTS, and has allowed me to become a better coach each and every day to GUIDE my members to reach THEIR dreams... has been from the mentorship and guidance from James.
In this episode, I share my journey, more details about James’ program (Business by Design) for online coaches and course creators, a mini interview with James, and a special bonus I am offering - the Authority Bootcamp - for coaches who sign up for Business by Design during enrollment this week!

One of the BIGGEST pieces of feedback I hear from small business owners is…
“I don’t want to talk about my products or business too much on Instagram because I feel like I might be bothering people.”
“I don’t want to talk about my products or business too much on Instagram because I feel like I might just be talking about it TOO much.”
“I don’t want to talk about my products or business too much on Instagram because I feel like people will get bored with what I have to say if I say the same things or show the same things over and over.”
“I don’t want to talk about my products or business too much on Instagram because people will unfollow me.”
If you’ve ever had these thoughts or other variations of these thoughts, I can almost guarantee that you love to come out with new products. (Am I right or am I right?)
Why can I almost guarantee this?
Because when we come out with new products, we no longer feel like we are bothering people. Because it’s something new! Something that hasn’t been done before! It’s exciting! And your brain starts to convince you that you could hardly be bothering people with something new, exciting, and never been done before.
So here’s what happens: before you know it, your bank account isn’t growing because you are constantly coming out with new products (hello raw ingredients, new labels, new packaging) and because all of your time is going towards launching something new and something else new and something new again.
And the cherry on top is that you’ve lost the chance to learn good old-fashioned marketing and selling… because your only strategy is newness, excitement, and never-been-done-before-ness. Which turns into a rinse and repeat cycle that can get pretty expensive and pretty exhausting.
What if I told you that constantly coming out with new products is a sign of being a people pleaser? A sign of not wanting to bother people or disrupt the piece? And a sign of self-sabotage that you might not even be aware of?
We’re getting deep today. And if this sounds anything like you, play special attention to this week’s episode so I can guide you through this and show you what’s on the other side of authentically owning what you speak about and how you show up for your business so you can make more money in your business. -
What’s the main reason why you DON’T talk on your stories consistently?
Is it because you don’t like the sound of your voice and cringe to hear it when you playback what you posted… and you wonder what others will think about your voice, too?
Is it because it literally takes hours to get the PERFECT 60 second clip to post on your stories… and it frustrates you to spend that much time to get it right?
Is it because you don’t know what to say and are worried about being judged by others for not saying the right thing?
During today’s episode, I share with you a simple and FUN hack to get you comfortable with showing up on your Instagram stores. And this is a hack that I even recently started to do, to make showing up on Instagram easier and easier for me (even after years of already being front and center on IG!) And believe it or not, talking about your products is how you can sell more products. So, the sooner you get comfortable and confident talking loud and proud about your products on social media, the sooner you will make more money! And here's how you can make it easier on your starting today. - Show more
