@april-ridgeway also does copywriting!

Oh, it must just be me 😉 I've been very active on Ravelry for about seven years, but I think it's probably time for me to explore some new groups there, as I haven't really found much in the way of like-minded people – well, not the right kind for this kind of mutual idea-bouncing. I've obviously got a lot to learn.

Thanks for writing about this. It's very interesting to hear about your positive experience, and certainly something I'll bear in mind for the future. I think many of us are afraid of putting people off by being too pushy, yet I, for one, have certainly had times when I had to to leave things half way through ordering – for whatever reason – and…[Read more]

My colleague @jane-purchase is a great copywriter.

Thanks so much @jill-wolcott! I'm sending you an email now! THANKS!!!!

YAY!!!!!

@dana-gervais @jill-wolcott Thank you! It is indeed a party here and I am glad I can commiserate with you all!

@sarah-walworth I share your struggle. I have no advice or helpful input, just wanted you to know that you're not alone. 😀

Congratulations!! So excited for you!

What about interacting a lot on places like Ravelry, to find like-minded persons? There are a lot of specific groups out there. And once you found people who's style or comments you like, you can invite them to your circle of feedbackers.

Yes, I think it will have to be an online group – and that's fine, too.

Congratulations! 🙂

Awesome news! Congratulations, Jessica!

@jessica, I got this too late for today's newsletter, but I'll be happy to do it next time. Do you have a pdf you could send me so I could do a review next Friday on my blog? jill@jillwolcottknits.com

I use Michelle Lorimer – she has done my website look and feel, logo, as well as product themes for me 🙂

@sarah-walworth, welcome to the party! I think you might want to move Chart Your Stars up in your queue. I think having that word/goal can help on those tough choices.

I've given a lot of thought as how to handle pricing in shops and I've decided the only think I really care about is them discounting it too much because of the image it gives my brand. I don't want my yarn price wise next to knit picks level yarn, just not the right branding for me. But I've not listed my MSRP on my price sheet. When I redid…[Read more]

What about an online group, @rachel-brooks? It might be much easier to gather the right persons when they don't have to live close to you? Patreon might work, if you want to make it with followers.
