Julie and Cody of Gold City Ventures are continuing on with the podcast. I am happy since I know so many of you were disappointed that all of the old episodes would disappear. That issue is solved - and we have a better plan. The ​team at Gold City Ventures​ will be producing new episodes for you going forward. We recorded one final episode for you today as my truly final goodbye. I'll be stepping away from the business and letting Cody & Julie run the podcast from here on out. The episode today is a little different - Julie and I chatted casually about some of the hot topics in the Etsy space right now. We cover shop suspensions, optimizing for google, listing image changes, video and more. We also cover trends we’ve seen from the unique position of seeing thousands of shops created on Etsy through our courses ..including what niches seem to be doing well right now and seller qualities that seem to lead to success. 🌟 For More Insider Tips & Strategies on E-Commerce Success! 🌟 Follow along on IG for business insider savvy and connection -- https://www.instagram.com/goldcityventures Learn more about Gold City Ventures -- https://goldcityventures.com  

My plan was to shut down the business and move on. But after I sent the last goodbye email, my friend Julie from Gold City Ventures reached out to me. She proposed an interesting opportunity.

I'm excited to announce that their business, Gold City Ventures, will continue on with my podcast, Crickets to Cha-Chings. Today we released one of two final episodes with me as the host and then Gold City Ventures will take over from here on out. I've known Julie for years and I am so excited to see what new energy and insight she brings to the podcast.
