Creative Biz Rebellion

207

Kelly from Hello World Paper Co. & Stamps and Caroline from Caroline Creates are two product based biz owners who want to connect with and help other product based business owners. The product based business world is shrouded in mystery... why? Why is it so easy to get information about starting a service based business, but when you ask people questions about their product based business they run and hide. That's dumb. When we lift each other up we not only help someone else's business, we learn things along the way, and we help the industry grow! There is plenty of room for everyone! So come and join us as we help you filter through the crap to help you totally rock your product based business! After all, creativity is the ultimate rebellion!

    Newbie Creative Biz Peep!
    Just started listening to this podcast. After only listening to one episode I subscribed because of the great value it is offering me! I am now a CBR podcast junkie, listening on my daily walks. And these two also have a great dynamic and are pretty entertaining to boot! Thanks so much for being here; I needed something exactly like this to help me move forward in my biz endeavors!

    My New Go-To Show
    I’m so glad I’ve found this podcast. Great content, interesting guests, informative and entertaining. I find myself pausing often when I’m at home doing something loud like brewing coffee or using the microwave in fear of missing good content. Thanks, ladies! I guess I’m a “Rebel Groupie” now! 😀🙋🏻‍♀️🤟🏻

    A must listen for small businesses
    I have been listening to the Creative Biz Rebellion for over a year and no matter how many episodes I listen to, I am always learning something new. These girls give a ton of information in an easy to absorb manner that just keeps me coming back for more! I have listened to a lot of podcasts over the years and this one is still my hands down favorite. I hope these girls keep it up for years to come!

    New favorite creative business podcast!
    Absolutely love this podcast! So funny, practical, and packed full of helpful info. I’ve been listening to it nonstop while I work, cook, and get ready in the morning - it’s given me so many ideas to re-energize my Etsy shop and share my work more effectively! I’m super grateful that I found it and so excited to learn more as I listen! Thank you, Kelly and Caroline!! Mac (@thegladdestthingshop)

    Favorite Podcast!
    This podcast has been so helpful as I’ve been working to launch my product based business and Etsy store. Like Kelly and Caroline say, it’s hard to “filter through the crap” and find real, tangible advice for creative, product based business. So thankful for Kelly and Caroline!

    Thank You
    Kelly and Caroline, I absolutely love you guys! You explain things in a clear, concise manner. Also, don’t laugh when you laugh it isn’t so loud that it’s annoying! Lol.. I loved the podcasts with Brittany Lynn and Katie Salmon. So excited! Look out for my pitch...
  • AP2pooh
    LOVE TO TUNE IN WHILE POURING MY CANDLES!
    You ladies make my work day so much better! Love your honesty & no bs approach! Love even more that you don’t agree with what everyone wants to think is the best way to run a business! After all, we started our own business so we could possibly make our own rules right!! Happy listener, Annie Naturalannie Essentials Bridgeport CT

    Best of the Best
    I found Kelly and Caroline about 6 months ago and I’m hooked!! I’ve learned so much from them, and because of that my business( Gardens Gate Jewelry on Etsy) has grown so much!! I’m also done binge listening to all the old episodes. I’m going to be sad when I’m done, because then I’ll have to wait for the new episodes like everyone else.

    Love!
    I happened upon this podcast and listened to it nonstop on a two day motorcycle ride. Down to earth, great information for makers who live in the real world. Highly recommend for product based makers!
  • Nicolidae
    I love this podcast!
    These ladies make my long commute so much better. I feel like I’m listening to really knowledgeable friends. They have great advice and are so chock full of knowledge. I had trouble finding business podcasts that focused on product-based businesses and am so glad I found this one.

    I am so in love with this podcast! Kelly and Caroline are so informative and funny. They have wonderful business tips and always have such interesting guests on their show. They make me feel like my dreams for my business are possible. They are so inspiring. If I'm driving then you know Creative Biz Rebellion is on!
  • miloo2🤬
    so much info!
    Thanks to Kelly and Caroline for sharing so much information. They are never vague about what they are doing or how to get things done. This is real information. These podcasts and the Creative Biz Rebellion website are such great resources for makers and entrepreneurs.

    Stay Away
    So bad. Seriously so bad. The subscription box episode is the worst podcast I've ever heard. Self-congratulatory and obnoxious guest who spent most of the episode discouraging people from starting their own subscription box, the other half complaining about people copying her (because apparently she thinks she invented subscription boxes. Girl, no). At one point she literally said, "No one can do what I do." Literally those words. So why are you being a guest on a podcast to encourage people to start their own businesses? Just to promote your own stuff? I'll stay away from this podcast and definitely all of this guest's products as well. The hosts were not much better. Apparently they're all friends (literally at the end they just start talking about Stranger Things. Like... what?). They did not wring a single viable marketing idea of out her, nothing on sourcing, nothing in where to get boxes printed, nothing on partnerships with bloggers or Instsgrammers... nothing. No useful tips whatsoever. Just a lot of patting themselves on the back. If you're serious about starting a side business, your time is better spent elsewhere. Lots of great, informative podcasts out there. This is not one of them. This is my first podcast review. It was seriously that bad, like I felt I needed to warn people.

    Feels like girls night (entrepreneur style)
    I discovered the podcast a couple weeks ago and am HOOKED. I’ve learned a ton of tips already from current and archive episodes. I think I’m gonna go back and start from #1 so I don’t miss a single tidbit! You’ll love this podcast if you are a Mom selling on Etsy and love to talk shop :-) PS. they had me at “I have some meat on my bones” LOL! You aren’t alone, girl!
  • Tara @ seagoatsoul
    Love these rebels!
    I'm so glad I found Caroline and Kelly. Their podcasts are fun, unpretentious and best of all, full of actionable advice and tips for small creative business owners. Probably the most practical and useful one I've found for my Etsy biz. I've also joined their Facebook group, and they honestly are helpful and down to earth, just like they sound on the podcast! Thanks guys!!
  • brittneyllynn
    The best for product based businesses!
    Caroline and Kelly are amazing at giving solid advice to product based businesses. You'll definitely want to tune in if you have a product based business!
  • brianna_showalter
    Wonderful topics + support for makers!
    These gals are super awesome! It's so nice to hear from others who are further along in the process... Kelly & Caroline are so positive and uplifting. I often feel so guilty when I scroll social media, thinking I'm not big enough, good enough, etc. But small beginnings are okay. And small goals are okay. This podcast has relit the fire to just make what I love and take the rest from there. Thank you!
  • erikaboo
    Helpful and encouraging...a must listen for me!
    I love these ladies and the different content they bring each podcast. I am a fairly young small business and I get so many helpful tips and information from their speakers. Caroline and Kelly both know what it takes to start and effectively run a creative business. Thanks y'all!
  • dizzycaitlin
    Maker bosses unite!
    This show breaks down the world of product-based businesses in a super real, nitty gritty kind of way. In a world of business podcasts that often leave the maker bosses out of the equation, this is a must-listen. You'll learn everything you need to know about successfully selling your products from the folks who really know their stuff.
  • Jenn1fer34

Caroline Hull and Kelly Parker Smith are two amazing entrepreneurs that share their knowledge and enthusiasm for product-based businesses with a fresh and engaging approach. They speak from the heart and from real-life and I look forward to each and every episode. Rock on with all the things Caroline and Kelly!

    The most useful tool for my creative biz!
    I love Kelly and Caroline's podcast! I've gotten so many useful tips that I've been able to immediately apply to my Etsy site, and have increased my amount of visits and orders as a result! The Facebook group is an added bonus and I've been able to get great advice from them and other rebels. I'm looking forward to hear more tips on Etsy shops and developing a marketing plan and social media schedule!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND
    Kelly and Caroline! Thank you so much for this podcast! I ran across an episode called Running A Business for Introverts and knew I had to give it a listen. Ever since I've been hooked and started back at episode 1. Listening while working has been so fun and motivating and has given me tons of great ideas! I have an Etsy shop (Let's Wear Dresses) and there are SO MANY applicable tips. Even if I had a different type of shop, there is still lots of great information. Thanks ladies!!! Keep it up!
