That's brilliant Karen – thank you so much. I will have a look and mark it as a one day to do!

If you decide to try it later on let me know I am glad to help! And if you want to see how I use ravelry on my own website, use this link http://karenwhooley.com/riven And add the pattern to the cart. (you can always delete it) It will show you that you can use rav all on your own site. and when you do updates, the customer gets an email with…[Read more]

So, Lunch Wed OR Thurs? I'm in. 🙂

OK, Before I start looking for restaurants, Is it just me, @susan-heyn, @laurinda-reddig and @tara?

If so, could we meet up before Tara's class for lunch? Or thursday morning for Breakfast? That way Laurinda can join us too?

If you are available for lunch or breakfast Please Chime in ASAP!

Thanks so much @dawn-craig 🙂 That will work a treat! No idea why it didn't occur to me to create a mailing list via my email account.

That's going to be the quickest solution for now – I can get started on it 🙂 Hooray!

Yay! Incentive for future behavior is the best part.

Thank you so much @karen-whooley

I'm sorry to say I've already given up on the Rav idea for now. I can't find how to make it available for pre-order? So hard to find help there I find.

I know you said folks don't need to be a member, but sending folks to a another website when they've found me is a pain for them and I don't have the time to…[Read more]

YES! the way you set it up is with the PDF you want to send them, usually a thank you for pre-ordering and what to expect when the book drops. It is a PDF you make and upload as the “ebook”.

Then when you actually upload the final book, there is an option to send the ebook to everyone that purchased it prior to uploading it. It will replace…[Read more]

I started WYT last week and had set aside time today (8-11) to work on just work stuff. I started a little late because I set the alarm on my phone wrong but I did it! And I got sooooo much done! This is huge motivation to do this again tomorrow.

I like the Ravelry idea, in the long run it will be easier for you and them.

If you decide to not use Ravelry I do have an idea for mailing out in August… Creating an address book in your mail client (I use Outlook so I know you can there). With a lot of them you can upload a csv which means you might be able to do it right from your sales…[Read more]

Thanks @karen-whooley 🙂 I'm glad to hear others have done it 🙂

I'll have to investigate Ravelry. It is hard for me to understand sometimes. I admit I haven't been very proactive at learning more.

So do you mean that when they pre-order through Ravelry, they get a PDF explaining what will happen? I assume you have to upload the final PDF…[Read more]

many designers pre-order PDF versions of their patterns/ebooks either through Ravelry or through their own websites. I have purchased them many times that way.

When My book drops next year, the preorders on the PDF version will be through ravelry. They don't have to be a member of Rav to get it, and I can put a pdf that is a note about how the…[Read more]

@dana-gervais that's no fun when things are out of your control. I hope you get your supplies so you can go ahead.

@s589886 good luck with your map making! I can't offer advice on what to do next as I'm new here too. I did to Pay yourself last week and found that very helpful. I am sure all the courses will help in different ways, no matter…[Read more]

@linda-tieu Maybe revisiting our profiles here on the Starship should be part of our annual review?! What do you think @tara?

Love! And shared!

@s589886 I started WYT and it's been really helpful to me already.

@dana-gervais I hope your stuff gets to you soon!

@tanja-osswald Congratulations! That is amazing!

@tara I have just found “Defeat Overwhelm” – is that a better fit than the others? So much choice…
I am switching off the pc for the night and off to make some dolls while I watch TV 🙂

Yes that helps a lot! Today was the first day I had a time set aside to just work. I worked from 8-11 and got SOOOOOO much done! I planned 4 weeks of blog posts (3 per week), designed the template with a check list so I don't forget anything with my blog (I'll also use it for brainstorming what to write and what pictures to use, etc), wrote the…[Read more]
