I tend to get emails and DM’s from shop owners sharing some of the issues they are facing in their business, but rarely do people come with a potential solution as well.
BUT this happened and sparked my curiosity: Natalia Riboldoi (aka Nat), the owner of Nat + Noor came to me and said that she loved the podcast, BUT she thought the How to Sell Online audience would get a lot of value from hearing from someone that is earlier on in the process and still working out some of the inevitable kinks.
Natalia Riboldi of Nat + Noor is on Today's Podcast!
Talking with Nat on the podcast was the first time we had actually had a conversation, and it was great to hear about her background. Like a lot of people nowadays, Natalia went off to college and studied something unrelated to what she is doing now. She studied at BYU-Hawaii and got a degree in oil painting – a tad bit different than running an ecommerce business.
This love for the arts actually led her into ecommerce, though. As she would create these amazing pieces of work, she got the idea that she could start to try and sell these things around town. The pieces started to sell, but she had the same light bulb realization a lot of the audience who start off doing local booths on the weekend: it’s just not scalable.
As she explored her options, she settled on opening her own online shop, but thankfully she followed rule number 3 and didn’t invest in a ton of inventory.
She found something she liked, ordered a small sample batch, and invited some friends over to get some feedback. To her surprise, those friends bought 20 pairs of earrings, with her even really selling them.
She thought, “Maybe I have something here.”
That’s when she decided to double down and take this thing seriously. One of the first things she did was buy the 0-$100K System.
The Rise of Nat + Noor
Not too long after that, Nat decided she needed to quit everything else and really focus on this full-time to see it reach its true potential. So, she quit all her side jobs and started to try the things she had been learning over the last months.
And guess what?!
By focusing, things started moving so much faster!
At the time of recording our interview, she had gotten her products placed in 87 stores!
Yes, you read that correctly – 87 stores!
