MNB's Small Business Starter Guide

We are sharing something that's been on our hearts for a long time.

When we started our journey, there wasn't a handbook. We learned through trial and error, made plenty of mistakes, celebrated small wins, and relied on the kindness of other artists and makers who shared their advice with us. That's exactly why we created this guide.

It's a free, friendly resource for anyone thinking about starting a small creative business, whether you're turning a hobby into something more, changing careers, or taking your first steps after graduating.

Inside you'll find practical tips on markets, pricing, social media, legal essentials, product photography, and a few things we wish someone had told us when we were starting out.

We're not experts with all the answers, and this isn't a rulebook. It's simply a collection of lessons, encouragement, and advice from people who have been there and genuinely want to see others succeed.

Because we believe the handmade community is at its best when we lift each other up. If this guide helps even one person take that first step, it'll have done exactly what we hoped.

You can download it for free via the link in our bio and on our website.

And if you know someone who's dreaming of starting their own small business, please share this post with them. It might just be the little push they need.
