A New Chapter for Mandaline: Meet My New Website and The Simple Sales Blog!

A New Chapter for Mandaline: Meet My New Website and The Simple Sales Blog!

If you've been following Mandaline for a while, you know this little business has taken me on quite a journey.

What started with a bag of broken dolls has grown into a business that's allowed me to work from home, raise my family, become a Top 10% eBay seller and Top 4% Etsy seller, and even write an Amazon #1 New Release book about doll repair.

And somewhere along the way, something else happened.

People started asking me how I did it.

How did I build an online business around something I loved? How did I find customers? How did I make sales without spending all day posting on social media or pouring my profits into advertising?

Those questions eventually led me into business coaching, and now I'm excited to share the next chapter!

Introducing Amanda Boggs Coaching!

My brand-new website is officially live!

Come Visit Amanda Boggs Coaching!

I've created a separate home for the business coaching side of my work, including my programs, resources, and a brand-new blog called The Simple Sales Blog.

And that means a little change here at Mandaline.

For years, I've shared a mixture of doll repair tutorials, vintage doll collecting stories, eBay tips, Etsy advice, and general business education right here on this blog.

Going forward, my business and online selling articles will have a new home at The Simple Sales Blog.

But don't worry! Mandaline isn't going anywhere!

I'll still be sharing doll repair tips, restoration projects, vintage doll stories, and everything else you've come to expect from this little corner of the internet.

I'm simply giving each part of my business its own space to grow.

Why The Simple Sales Blog?

Because after nearly three decades of selling online, I've learned that building a successful business doesn't have to mean making your life more complicated.

I started my business because I wanted to be home with my baby after my husband Jerry was seriously injured in an accident.

I wasn't looking for another job that would keep me away from my family. I wanted a business that would work around our lives.

And I still believe that's what a small business should do.

In fact, this past week was a pretty good reminder of why that matters!

We hosted 19 teenage cross-country runners at our house for a team dinner, complete with spaghetti, garlic bread, cookies, and s'mores. The following day, my son's team brought home gold medals!

Our daughter is also home from college for fall break, so we've had a busy house and plenty of family time.

And through all of it, my online businesses have continued operating.

That's the kind of freedom I want other people to experience.

Not necessarily millions of dollars or a giant company with dozens of employees.

Just a business that brings in sales without demanding every waking moment of your life.

That's what I'll be teaching at The Simple Sales Blog.

And We're Kicking Things Off With a FREE 30-Day Etsy Sprint!

To celebrate the new website and blog, I'm hosting a 30-Day Etsy Sprint starting October 16!

Every day for 30 days, I'll share to your inbox a practical Etsy selling tip designed to help you build, improve, or grow your shop.

Whether you're just thinking about opening your first Etsy store or you've had one for years and aren't getting the sales you hoped for, there's something for you.

We'll talk about creating listings that attract buyers, improving your shop, getting your products found, and building a simple system that can help bring in sales even when you're busy doing other things.

And because I know how busy life gets, these aren't going to be complicated, hours-long assignments.

They're practical tips you can use one step at a time.

Best of all, it's FREE!

When you sign up, you'll receive the daily tips in your inbox, with links to the lessons on The Simple Sales Blog.

YES! Sign Me Up for the FREE 30-Day Etsy Sprint!
