Successful Community Building with Jess Van Den

Welcome to episode 061 of Law of Effortlessness Podcast, with silversmith Jess Van Den from Epheriell, Create & Thrive. Jess and Shannon re-connected at Artful Business Retreat 2018, and in this episode, you’ll hear Jess’s fascinating journey to becoming a successful Etsy store owner and community builder, including her venture into becoming a primary school educator before accidentally becoming full-time in her silversmithing business.

Jess shares her lessons in building a successful and thriving community including how you stand out from the crowd with authenticity and building a strong factor of trust and authority before followers will purchase from you, and have boundaries around how you show up including Digital Detoxing and taking time off away from a business without losing sales.

Jess Van Den is a self-employed silversmith working under the Epheriell label. She’s been making jewelry since 2008 when she opened her Etsy shop to sell her jewelry as a hobby and turned Epheriell into her full-time occupation in 2010 – bringing her husband Nick on board soon after. She specializes in eco sterling silver wedding rings and works out of her solar-powered home studio in the countryside north of Brisbane, Australia. She’s also the founder of Create & Thrive & the Thriver Circle, where she teaches fellow makers how to turn their handmade hobby into a thriving, successful business.
