Because of her interest in education, she decided to pursue a career in that field. Liz chose wisely and picked the perfect school, which allowed her to attend as many courses as possible. Once she graduated with a degree in education, Liz went looking for a job in the field. Soon enough, she found an opening position as a kindergarten teacher which she decided to take.

Not only she needed extra cash, but she was losing her mind while sitting at home. To keep herself busy, Liz started researching ways to work from home but couldn’t find any willing employers. Luckily, Liz knew to be creative, so she created an Etsy shop where she sold things.
Career of Liz Fenwick
On her Etsy shop, Liz sold mostly headbands, bracelets and other accessories. Once she noticed that people liked her stuff, she moved to sell wedding garters, which made her successful on Etsy. On the other hand, selling wedding garters on Etsy took away a lot of Liz’s time, which she couldn’t afford with a little baby at home. Since she couldn’t stay still, Liz got into photography at the same time. Since she is such a creative soul, she gave it her best and soon became a professional photographer. Liz ran her photography business for three years, during which she managed to take beautiful photos of her kids, which made it all worth it. After some time, Liz decided to close her shop on Etsy and open a new one at Amazon.

On Amazon, Liz sold her own fashion line, targeted at little girls. She learned how to sew small dresses from all kinds of fabric and turn them into birthday clothes. Her line contained pink birthday dresses and skirts for 1- and 2-years old girls. Even though she had many followers and buyers on Etsy, shipping was too time-consuming there. Once Liz switched to Amazon, she made the same amount of money but with less effort because Amazon took care of shipping and payment better.
Liz Fenwick on YouTube
Before she even thought about DIY, Liz created a YouTube channel in 2017. On that channel, she taught others how to braid hair and create different hairstyles. Her previous YouTube channel was mainly for fun, without the thought of a real profit. Liz used her daughter and her friends as hair models for her videos, which allowed them to spend some quality time together. Liz stopped posting on that channel after a few months, but ultimately, it was a good experience. This experience allowed Liz to learn more about how YouTube works and how to trick the algorithm.

Since she didn’t make a lot of money as a kindergarten teacher, Liz decided to decorate the whole apartment by herself. Liz acknowledged her tight budget but wasn’t willing to let that stop her. She researched home-décor stores in her free time and built her inspiration there. Then she went to the dollar store, bought some essentials and made the finished products all by herself. Even though it started as a means to an end, Liz realised that she was having much fun while making decorations.
