Marketing your business shouldn’t mean spending hours glued to Instagram, guessing what to post, or burning out on trends that get views, but not sales.

You’re doing a lot of things right…​

  • You’re making great products…
  • You’re posting consistently(ish)…
  • And you’ve probably even taken a few courses…

But you’re still not seeing the sales, traffic, or engagement you expected.

Do you dream of finding a marketing plan that actually works for your side hustle?

One that doesn’t require dancing on Reels, posting 7X a day, or learning yet another complicated system. During this free 3-day event, you’ll learn the following:

  • Confidently create content that grows your audience.
  • Stop guessing what to post and know what’s working.
  • Build a real marketing plan (not just a to-do list).
  • Spend less time promoting and more time creating.
  • Attract more of your dream customers, without burning out.

That’s exactly what you’ll walk away with from the Side Hustle Marketing Summit!

During this free event, you’ll learn how to…

Use simple tools to grow your audience which means more sales.

Create a clear marketing strategy that supports your goals.

Meet Your Hostess

Hey there, I'm Chelly Ontis!

I’ve been helping small business owners master their marketing for almost 30 years, and I’m also a creative business owner myself. I closed my graphic design studio of 28 years to shift full-time into teaching online creators, handmade sellers, SVG designers, and makers, how to grow their businesses with smart, simple marketing. (I share the system that pushed me to a six-figure business.)

This summit is all about giving you the clarity and confidence you need to build a profitable creative business… without burning out or working 24/7! (I’ve been there and know there’s a better way!)

I’m personally inviting you to come hang out with me and 20+ creative business experts at this free marketing event made just for creatives!

Check Out What Past Attendees Say…

If you’re unsure about the marketing side of your business, or if you want to make more while working less, this event is definitely for you.

We’re specifically talking to creatives like online creatives, Etsy shop owners, makers, artists, bloggers, and craft business owners who are looking to build a stronger foundation through marketing. But if you’re an online creator or small business owner trying to grow your audience and customer base online, then you can use these marketing tutorials to scale your brand, too!

This summit is 100% focused on helping creative business owners improve their marketing and visibility, without taking over their lives.

  • Create a marketing strategy that supports your goals.

     

  • Grow your audience with tools that make sense for YOU.

     

  • Align your content with what your dream customers want.

All designed for handmade sellers, digital creators, craft educators, and content-focused entrepreneurs.

Most sessions are pre-recorded to avoid tech issues and give you the smoothest experience. They’ll be released daily and available to watch for 24 hours in any order you choose.

BUT—we do have bonus live events happening throughout the free week! These include workshops, welcome party, co-working sessions, Speaker Q&As, and more. The full agenda will be sent out to registered attendees. (all lives have replay access).

Speakers will also be active in the Facebook group to answer your questions and connect with you in real time.

Nope. Only We Can Make That® will have your email when you register, so we can send you daily event links and updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.

If a speaker offers a freebie or VIP bonus, you’ll have the option to give them your email in exchange, but it’s 100% your choice. That way, you only hear from the people you actually want to follow (and not 30 inbox strangers).

Still wondering about something?
Your best bet is to register now, most questions get answered in the welcome email or in the Facebook group once you’re inside.

Still stuck? You can email us at hello@wecanmakethat.me. Please allow up to 48 hours for a response during business hours.
