Happy New Year! It’s so wonderful to be back here at Create Hype! I hope you enjoyed your week off. I was a complete lazy butt and spent the week doing puzzles, playing Wii, drooling over my new ice cream maker, and reading a book a day. I loved it!
But now it’s time to get back to work, back to dreaming big, back to conquering a new year. Are you ready to move mountains? Have you written your goals for 2012? Have you written your resolutions?
This month marks a great new start on Create Hype. We’ll be sharing amazing guest posts that will help you stick to your big goals. I’ll be interviewing some entrepreneurs who are making a living doing what they love, which is always inspiring. I’ll be telling you about some great new products and e-books I discovered that will help you write a creative business plan (believe me, it’s a good one), learn how to master social media like a person, not a machine, and show you how to keep your blog full of great content that encourages your readers to interact.
So, are you excited for the prospects of the new year? Are you eager to see what we’ll be posting here? I hope so! I certainly am! I’ll see you back here tomorrow morning with our first guest post!

First, I love my ice cream machine. As cold as it is outside I just may make some this week:)
Goals: They are already in the works. Instead of saying, “Yeah, yeah, I’m going to do this, this, and ..ect. I’ve decided to just hit them head on and I’m not looking back.
Looking forward to what the CH has to come!
That’s wonderful! I’m trying to do the same thing of hitting the ground running and not thinking too much. I’m turning on my ice cream machine today!
Just discovered this site, great information. You have given me more to think about than just make more sales this year. Thanks and I look forward to more interesting articles.
Happy New Year!
Welcome to Create Hype! I’m so glad you’re excited about what our writers have to share. They’re all an amazing bunch of entrepreneurs and I can’t even tell you how much I’ve learned myself. Happy New Year to you too!
I am just on the verge of being ready to go online with Etsy. I believe my website will be ButtonsAndLaceOnTheGo. I make unique, embellished, blank cards. I’m 67 and always worked the 9-5 job. This is exciting. My problem is I think of creations as I’m going to sleep and that gets my mind working so – off to the computer to print more of the Etsy Help Book. I’m escited about reading your blogs.

Hi Jane! The best advice I have is: Just jump! You don’t have to have things perfect when you first open your Etsy shop. It will take a few days, weeks, even months for people to start flocking to you so there’s plenty of time to fix things as you go. Heck, I’ve had a shop for over 2 years and I’m still tweaking things.
Happy New Year! I’m excited for your new adventure!
