Nicole Crispi<\/a> is a stay-at-home mom who turned her passion for creativity and baking into two six-figure businesses that help fellow bakers earn more doing less. She\u2019s best known for her incredible success in turning a simple $3 cookie recipe into over $250,000 in sales\u2014but that\u2019s only the half of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In just 16 months, she also built a six-figure education business through Stan Store, teaching bakers how to monetize their knowledge and achieve financial freedom. Now, instead of trading time for money, she sells downloadable guides, recipes, courses, workshops, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out how Nicole went from selling cookies at farmers\u2019 markets to running two successful businesses as a Creator-Entrepreneur\u2014all while working just a few days per month and gaining more time with her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge: Trading Time for Every Dollar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nicole discovered her love for baking during the COVID-19 pandemic while working long hours in an Air Force medical lab. Desperate for a creative outlet, she spent her maternity leave developing recipes and soon turned that passion into a home baking business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Realities of Running a Home Bakery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After leaving the Air Force in 2021, Nicole’s baking side hustle quickly became a full-time endeavor. She spent hours each week baking, then even more time selling stuffed cookies at farmers’ markets and shipping orders nationwide. But the effort didn’t match the return\u2014working at outdoor markets in the Florida heat felt impossible, and the long hours left her with limited time with her daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So she decided to try something different: selling her cookie recipes as $3 PDFs, just hoping to make enough to cover her $30 monthly website fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $3 Recipe That Changed Everything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Three months after launching her $3 recipes, one customer\u2019s glowing review in a large Facebook group sent her sales soaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This single post generated $1,600 in one day and $17,000 in just two weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sudden success created a new challenge: manually emailing every recipe to customers. Nicole and her husband had to quickly learn about digital products, automation, email marketing, and funnels to manage the surge in demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n “I didn’t have any automation set up. I didn’t know what that was. I was typing out the recipe and manually emailing it to everyone”. <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

To maintain engagement, Nicole launched her own Facebook group<\/a>\u2014growing it to over 95,000 members. While her recipe business was a huge success, earning over $250,000 in two years, she found herself itching for a new creative outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She decided to turn everything she\u2019d learned from growing her cookie business into a digital marketing education business for bakers\u2014but she wanted a new, simpler way to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Solution: Turning a Single Idea Into a Scalable Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nicole needed a platform that could handle her growing business without the hours of work she had been putting in. In April 2024, she discovered Stan\u2014an easy-to-use tool that let her set up a digital storefront in minutes, add products quickly, and automate everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n \n\n<\/svg> <\/div>\n
\n \u201cI saw everyone using [Stan] and I thought, ‘This looks fun and simple.’ It’s a very simple link in bio that I could set up quickly, and it didn’t require coding like Shopify does.” <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With automation handling her digital product delivery, Nicole was free to focus on expanding her audience. She pivoted from relying solely on her Facebook group and began posting consistently on Instagram<\/a>, building a following that supported her new ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diversifying Her Offers With Stan Store<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Her first product\u2014a course built around Rachell\u2019s Digital Wealth Academy<\/a>\u2014combined her own coaching calls and chat support tailored for bakers. Her students quickly saw results, which gave Nicole the confidence to create her own signature course: Digital Wealth for Bakers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n “I feel like I can afford to do something that fulfills me now, because I have the automation running in the background for all the digital stuff.\u201d <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

With a fully automated storefront, Nicole was able to diversify beyond cookie recipes, offering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
