From Side Hustle to Full-Time Business
Meet Lisa Carter, Founder of Carter’s Custom Candles
Lisa started her candle-making business as a hobby during the pandemic. At first, she sold a few products to friends and family, but after joining The Village Expo, she found a community that helped her grow. By networking with other business owners, using the marketplace tools, and learning from online workshops, Lisa scaled her business. Today, her candles are sold nationwide, and she even offers a course teaching others how to start a candle business.
📢 Lisa’s Tip for New Entrepreneurs: “Never be afraid to market yourself. Social media and live streaming have been game-changers for me.”
A Passion for Fitness Becomes a Thriving Online Academy
How Marcus Taylor Built His Online Training Business
Marcus, a certified personal trainer, always dreamed of having his own fitness studio but didn’t have the startup capital. Instead of waiting, he used The Village Expo’s live streaming feature to teach virtual fitness classes. As his audience grew, he launched a membership-based fitness academy, where members could subscribe for exclusive training programs. His community is now over 1,000 strong, and he recently added a nutrition course to complement his fitness programs.
📢 Marcus’s Tip for New Entrepreneurs: “Monetize what you know! Teaching online has been a game-changer for my business.”
Turning Art into Income
Jasmine Rivera, Digital Artist & Online Store Owner
Jasmine always loved drawing but never thought she could make a living from it. After joining The Village Expo, she connected with other creative entrepreneurs, learned how to market her art, and set up an online shop selling digital prints, custom artwork, and even branding services for businesses. Her store now generates consistent income, allowing her to pursue her passion full-time.
📢 Jasmine’s Tip for New Entrepreneurs: “Your network is your net worth. Surround yourself with people who inspire you to grow.”
