What's up guys? Welcome to Made for Profit, a podcast where we talk business in the shop and help you monetize as a maker.

Each week will cover the topics most important to you from marketing and selling your products to winning on social media and everything in between.

I'm Brad Rodriguez, a full-time content creator running Fix This Build That.com, and my co-host, John Malecki, runs a full-time furniture company and its content site,

John Malecki.com.

Over the past few years, we've seen the value of bouncing ideas back and forth.

And we want to bring you into the conversation and help you grow along with us.

Welcome to episode 26. In this episode, we're hopping into another interview. Today, we'll be talking with our friend April Wilkerson. We'll dive in to April's story and how she got into the DIY space and turned a love for learning and doing new things into a full-time business as one of the biggest DIY influencers on YouTube.

April and her brand, Wilker Doos, has over 540,000 YouTube subscribers and over 100,000 Instagram followers.

She's one of our favorite Instagram accounts to follow and interact with, and she also has an amazing business to go with it.

Before we get into the interview,

we'd like to thank our new members that joined the MFP tribe this week over on Patreon.

Jeff Madrigal and Brad Ross. Thank you guys. They joined over at patreon.com forward slash made for profit and they're now going to be able to take advantage of the after show and some of the other

benefits we have over there. So if you want to join that crowd, you can go check it out. We also want to make a quick announcement. We're going to be

taking another break for the holidays and have a little bit of downtime for John and myself. So we'll be

coming back with a new episode on January 9th. And we're be recapping 2017 and all of the crazy changes that

have been happening in social media. So look forward to that episode. Without further ado,

here's our interview with April Wilkerson. All right, guys, we are so excited to have our third

interview guest today on Made for

For Profit.

And this is actually a friend of John and guys.

We both had some time to hang out with her and talk business.

And she is just a wealth of knowledge.
