Site-Wide Activity

Thank you, Jess, for this neat overview!

Going Well: Setting aside an hour and getting more done than I anticipated in that hour. Meeting production targets. This is the first time I have checked in!

Working On: Trying to decide on a display for the next big show I will be vending at, in March. Related to that a theme for my bags for the show. I am also following the Take A Break…[Read more]

@lea-ann-mcgregor it is all in tripods. What device you are using will tell you what type of tripod to get. Cheapest way to start is desktop, but you can get floor models that will allow you to shoot over your shoulder or in your lap.

I'm really missing the weekly accountability through the check-in . . . .
Whatcha workin on? Setting up my recording studio, adding products for December sales and choosing projects for 2017.

What’s going well? I got dressed two days in a row before 10am.

How can we help? I'll post in another thread. I'm supposed to be setting up my r…[Read more]

oops, just read the email for this week. I guess I'll be a little late finishing it up . . .

You can also ask what their pay scale is, if they have been doing this a while.

I got a project to a client yesterday (orig due last friday, they asked me to move it) they love it (so far). They were told by others it was a crazy hard project and on and on and expensive to boot. Yeah, some of it sucked as there wasn't a way to automatically convert data, but instead of a huge team, with the right tools I…[Read more]

Thank you, @katherine-sanders!

I'm slowly working through the suggestions. I'm waiting on twelve washcloths (4 4-packs) drying so I can take better photos. I've found one model and have four other potentials. If those work out I'll only need the mannequin heads for a few sizes.

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback in this thread, I've finally built a website page with my product/service offerings!

It's a work in progress so if you'd like a particular type of help (even if you're not interested in paying for it right now but you just think it's something biz owners…[Read more]

I'm finally getting around to updating my website so business owners can actually hire me!

I offer services to small business owners in the following areas:
– writing
– editing
– project management
– big picture planning/consulting

I'm available for paid work only at this time, though I might be willing to trade some time for holiday gifts in…[Read more]

@tanja-osswald here are some marketing steps that could be done by another person (you would basically just give them a copy of the pattern and tell them to run with it):

– finding bloggers and podcasters to review the pattern or make one and show it off to their audience
– organizing a crochet-along either via your blog, a social media site like…[Read more]

Thank you so much, @dawn-craig, it was so much fun to do!

If any of you were thinking about hiring Jess to do copy work for you, DO IT! She rewrote the listings for my yarn bases and made them complete fit my branding. I couldn't be happier with the work she did. Very much worth it and then some.

Thank you @dana-gervais 🙂 I need to confirm exactly how long she'll use the pattern for, but my understanding is 3 months only. It will be exclusive content for the course.

I will be retaining all rights, just not publishing it myself while she is using it. I will be publishing after the exclusivity is over.

Thank you very much for your…[Read more]
