@nicole-van-gremberghe: Yay for the sales! And for feeling better!

Yes! I sold 2 zipper pouches. It was shortly after the launch, but I got sick and couldn't tell you all. But I'm soooo happy (and better again 😉 ). Yay!!

Hi @pam-maher nice to meet you. You will love it here in the Starship ☺

@deborah-overath I think the question of when to hire comes down to 3 things.

Thing 1: *Can* someone else do it? Or does it have to be done by you. For example, I am a knitwear designer – I cannot outsource designing, but I can outsource sample knitting, pattern layout, etc.

Thing 2: What is the opportunity cost? If it will take you 10…[Read more]

Hi there! I'm Pam and just joined the Starship a few weeks ago but finally have some time to focus on it. I am excited to be here and am hoping that this will help provide some focus and direction for my business.

I just launched my business in May thought I have been working on it for about 2 years. I don't make or sell “things”, rather I have a…[Read more]

Hey all, I missed chat this week on accident instead of by being busy!

Going well: Eclipse fiber colorway was a massive success! I sold out of pre-dyed fiber within 24 hours and sold nearly as many custom dye listings as fiber I had pre-dyed– plus a good handful of other fiber, as I combined the Eclipse update with a general one. I had been…[Read more]

Hi @deborah-overath! I'm no expert on when and how to say no instead of yes, but I do have a general thought about when to hire help. For me, it's the point at which the amount of time and effort I would spend doing a particular project or thing exceeds the benefits that doing something yourself provides– namely not having to rely on others to…[Read more]

Originally posted this in the Q2 thread…posting again here in the right place.

Hello,

I had planned to be on the chat today–for the first time in a few weeks–the day job has been busy–in fact I was really looking forward to it. However, I just learned that a dear uncle passed away last night after a 5 year battle with cancer and need to some…[Read more]

OOPS! Just realized that I posted this in the wrong place. Copying it to Q3 discussion.

Hello,

I had planned to be on the chat today–for the first time in a few weeks–the day job has been busy–in fact I was really looking forward to it. However, I just learned that a dear uncle passed away last night after a 5 year battle with cancer and need to some time to process it all.

But, I don't want to be a stranger, so here are a few…[Read more]

Hi,

I am not great at follow through, however I would say try to stick with it for a min of 10-12 times, so if you do it weekly, it will be three-four months, but if you post your gift guide every two weeks it could be five to six months long.

Also, I just wanted to do a shout out to the person who I think has mastered Pinterest marketing, and…[Read more]

I agree that sounds like you haven't been doing them long enough to see results. As long as you don't hate writing them I'd keep with it. Even if you enjoyed it before and you kind of having to push yourself to do it, that might be because you expected results sooner than most people will see them. I've heard over and over with a blog you have…[Read more]

Been there, felt that void. But consistency is key, so I'd say “a handful” might not be enough to see results.

If you hate doing these, I would stop right away. Otherwise, I'd suggest doing them regularly for, say, three months. If you can batch the work and pre program the blog posts it might make it easier. I batch all my blog posts and program…[Read more]
