Maker Made Podcast

The guys revisit last week’s topic with special guest Ben from @lostwoodscreative! Ben’s Instagram story inspired last week’s episode, but the guys did not portray Ben’s argument accurately – so they decided to bring him on to clear things up!

The guys have a productive conversation about how they choose to tag companies in their social media posts when they are not officially sponsored by those companies.

The main topic this week comes from Ben’s (@lostwoodscreative ) story on Instagram: the guys talk about how they go about tagging a company whose products they’re using, especially when the product is not free! They go in-depth about creating content for a company without actually being sponsored by them, and the pros and cons involved with that. Lastly, be honest in your sponsored product reviews – just because it’s free, it doesn’t mean it’s good!!

Ty has some back pain related to lifting his entire drum sander motor onto the base and the guys laugh about the time Ty helped Doggy move and they almost tipped Doggy’s drum sander over.

Doggy gets some traction on his Etsy account finally and has been turning custom orders around within 12 hours! Ty and Hails are going to start making and selling custom shirts for makers – stay tuned for some updates!

This week brings a short episode because the guys have slow weeks in their shops! Ty gets ready to install a barndoor and continues to crank out bulk charcuterie board and template orders!

The guys both started revamping their Etsy storefronts based on some of the tips and tricks from @Ptreesworkshop !

Doggy wired 220V power for his shop all by himself; he hung up the outlets, ran the conduit and wires, and plugged the wire/breakers into his panel! He is pumped to start making stuff again! Ty is gearing up for a big charcuterie board order… 46 walnut boards are on deck!

Ty deals with some difficulties in getting paid on time by a large wholesaler on a big template
order - the guys discuss further options on including a late payment clause if clients don’t pay up when they are supposed to!

The guys have noticed a solid uptick in engagement and growth recently. Doggy hits 40,000
followers and Ty nears 30,000! Doggy posted a gnarly drywall patch a few weeks ago and got
clobbered by troll comments – the guys read some of the best and funniest comments!

Doggy takes a few minutes to nerd out about his job and why he’s in Florida this week!
