Crochet Business School Podcast : Tips To Make Money From Your Crochet

You never know what is coming around the corner that will affect your ability to show up in your crochet business.

Have you ever asked the question “what will happen to my crochet business if I have to take a few weeks off?”

Will you still be able to earn any money without disappointing customers?

Will your audience still be there when you return?

Questions like these are why I always recommend having more than one income stream from your crochet, with at least one of them being a form of recurring income.

Why recurring income? Because it doesn’t need you to show up every single day if it allows you to be found in search results.

Let’s talk more about it in this episode

Halloween is a strange thing when it comes to promoting your crochet. Christmas and Fall decor start getting marketed at the beginning of September, so Halloween gets squeezed into the middle of them.

So how do you promote Halloween if you choose to do so and how do you get yourself and your crochet noticed when there is so much else being promoted at the same time?

Pricing is often a crocheter's biggest problem. We feel guilty for charging what we're worth but frustrated that we don't charge more because we feel like everyone's chasing a bargain.

At a craft fair this gets worse because we come face to face with our customers.

So how do you stop the guilt of charging a fair price from making you drop your prices at the first challenge?

This podcast talks through how to stand your ground and some tips on what to say or do when a customer tries to haggle.

Is it possible to grow a crochet business without social media? Well, that's what I'm doing for my crochet pattern business. I'm leaving social media behind and instead building something different that will work more effectively and for the long term - SEO

I originally built my entire crochet business on Facebook, but when my marriage broke down I just couldn't be present and I ended up walking away from it all or 2 years. In that 2 years A LOT changed and I've realised that I just can't make social media work for me anymore - I just don't have the social energy. So instead I'm building back up using Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) which is a much more reliable, if slower way of growing your crochet business.

When we're doing everything possible to turn our crochet into a career we can get our heads so buried in doing all the things that we're told we need to do that we forget to look at how well it's actually working.

This is especially true if you're making regular sales and you feel like you're always busy. But how much profit are you really making? Because that $20 profit you made on that bag sale sounds really good until you break it down.

Listen to the episode now and I'll walk through why it can be so difficult to go from side hustle to business when it comes to selling your crochet.
