Last week I discovered that crochet makers are using Kickstarter to sell their crochet.

Not random items, but collections that investors can receive in return for their investment.

That's what Kickstarter is - an investment platform for small businesses so you can receive the funding you need to take your crochet business to the next step.

Listen in to this episode to discover how it works, what you need to do and how you can use this for yourself and your crochet business.

If you run a crochet business and you're relying on one-off pattern sales or ad revenue alone, a membership could change everything.

In this video I talk about why building a membership is one of the best things I've done for my crochet business — and how the predictable, recurring income it creates gives you a completely different relationship with your work.

I cover the different types of memberships you can build around crochet, the kinds of memberships and subscriptions I've been a member of myself (and what I learned from each of them), and what it's actually like to run one — including the reality that members come and go, but some stay for a long time and become the heart of your community.

What if the answer to your overwhelming crochet business to-do list wasn't to do more — but to do less, more consistently?

In this episode I'm sharing something personal. The realisation that my audience didn't need more information — they needed something that kept them moving on the hard days. The days when the list feels too long, the energy feels too low, and the whole thing feels a bit pointless.

I talk about what I kept seeing in the people I work with, how I took the tactic I used when life was falling apart, and how I used it to eventually build something around the simple idea that small is enough.
