About

I’m Natalie.  I’m the person clacking away at the keyboard – penning posts for Moxie Tonic and helping creative entrepreneurs turn business dreams into business realities.

Talking about myself makes me so uncomfortable. Not because I’m modest, but because I don’t want to be a bore. So that’s making this page really, really hard to write. In fact, my first About Page said nothing about me and the comment I got from it over and over again was – what about you?

So here it goes (you can skip to the next section if you want, I won’t mind a bit).

About Me

I am a girly girl. I love pretty things. I love order and cleanliness and quiet.

I am the mother of four little boys. They are the light of my life and they are teaching me how to enjoy life with a little more mess. Their dad is the love of my life.

I run; both for exercise and to keep up with those boys. This September I’m going to run my first half-marathon.

I crochet lots of hats. It’s one of the few crafts I can make for my boys. The hats are also very handy because we live in Colorado, where I’ve seen it snow in every month but July and August. Unless you count the times I’ve been hiking and it’s snowing at the summit, then I’ve seen snow every month of the year in this fabulous state.

I love photography, but it’s the only hobby I’ve never tried to turn into a business.

Speaking of businesses…there’s another hobby. I love being an entrepreneur. I started my first business at 16 and I’m always coming up with fun ways to make money while I raise my boys.

About This Blog

Moxie Tonic is the fusion of my two greatest passions – crafting and marketing. In fact it was a real light bulb moment when I realized I could have just one business (I’ve always had at least three going at once – yeah, my husband hates tax season!). I could take all that marketing experience and apply it to building a successful craft business.

So here I am today a marketing nerd, crafting diva mash-up at your service.

What This Means for You

Moxie Tonic is a resource for sound marketing advise so you can grow your creative business.

I tend to get all geeked out about writing subject lines that get emails read, blog posts that drive traffic and keywords that land your items on the first page of search results. So you’ll find posts on:

• Blogging
• Email Marketing
• Selling on Etsy
• Social Media
• Building a Customer Sales Force
• Interviews with Successful Sellers

HAS TO DO WITH CRAFTY BUSINESSES

A lot of what you will see here is completely free because I love to share, to educate and to inform. If you want a personal touch, I am still a marketing consultant at heart and there are ways to get me on your team.

So take a look around. Check out some posts. Drop a line or two to say hi and tell me what your marketing needs are. Can’t wait to meet you!

Cheers!
