Thank you for sharing your experience. I agreed to remove the collection she specified and agreed not to do ring dishes but then she was upset because I tied the same color ribbon on something. I was like what are you even talking about. Anyway, it has been one of the most difficult nights of my life but this too shall pass. I can either create…[Read more]

Hugs to you (((Shanon))).

I'm sorry you're going through this. It sounds like the old green eyed monster rearing its ugly head. If that's the case, then there's there's nothing you can do about this woman's issues. You know in your heart that you didn't copy her work, so I think all you can do is be polite, carry yourself with dignity, and move…[Read more]

@mindy663159, congratulations! It's wonderful your business is able to help invest in your son's future!

Oh, and for how people will find your site, I would suggest either Pinterest, Instagram or Facebook.

Great concept and page! I like the brief story you told about why you started it. I also like the testimonials. One thing I have learned from others that sell digital products online, people see a picture and think they are getting a physical product, so you may want to emphasize that they are receiving their item digitally and will have to…[Read more]

I am a crochet designer, vendor at craft fairs/flea markets, and an AVON representative. I live with my brother, Steve, and our cat, Patty. My business has changed quite a bit in the past year. I closed my retail store just over a year ago after I sold my first design to Red Heart yarns. This year has been my first profitable year in quite a…[Read more]

@tara that's why I really like the IFTTT and Google calendar setup — I can use the repeating events function in Google calendar to set a tweet to post the first of every month or on X day every month. So those calls to action tweets are set up once and repeat indefinitely without me ever thinking about it again.

Hi all! I'm Mary of Elemental Fiberworks, and I currently live in Washington with my husband (Physics professor at the local Community College) and three cats. I love playing tabletop games, spinning, antique spinning wheels, knitting all the things, spreadsheets, SCIENCE!, and playing with color! I am on Ravelry ALL THE TIME, love forums and…[Read more]

@mary532190 You are? There are now several of us in WA! YAY! I would love to meet you too!

@kristan1232292 YES! You have probably been to Tolt more than me! I haven't been there yet and I am only 40 mins away!

@karen, speaking of being local, I'm over on the Olympic peninsula, in Bremerton!

Hi Linda,
Love your business! What a great idea. Your sales page seemed great to me- easy to figure out what was offered and how to get it. So this is just a way-to-go! message as opposed to having any ideas. I like what you've got.

As far as how i find out about offerings:word of mouth for sure, and pinterest to some extent. Instagram would…[Read more]

This is so fantastic, @jeannie1281322! Thank you for sharing your experiences!!

@mindy663159 Congrats! It's such an amazing feeling when that starts to happen isn't it?

What a giant bummer, that they're changing CoSchedule!
I'm going to check out MeetEdgar, which you might like @sasha1206303, because it lets you create a library of posts that will repeat as much as you want (vs remembering to put them in again, like Hootsuite and Buffer). For things like email sign-ups and always-available products (knitwear…[Read more]

@karen600158 YES! “I know that if I don’t honor an idea right away, it gets lost or muted.”
Totally me too! Her bits about how the Idea will move on to someone else struck me hard. I have both had Ideas leave me for other people because I didn't commit (the heartbreak!) and I've been the 2nd person the Idea came to (and one occasion was accused o…[Read more]

Hey Linda!
To begin with – what kind of feedback are you looking for? Do you want to know what we think is missing? How we feel? Any questions?
It'll help me give ideas if you can also tell me: Who do you picture buying this? Who is super-into this?

Off the top of my head, here's what I was thinking as reading:
Are these prints? or cards?…[Read more]
