Prairie Craft Almanac episodes

  • Ideas for making money creatively with print-on-demand products and patterns--(No shipping required!)

    As a creative, you have so many options for making money online! Today I want to discuss just a couple of those options; specifically, I'm talking about a few ways to make passive income by uploading artwork or pdf files/patterns. This is a great way to generate some cash because you upload once (generally), then can make multiple sales without having to worry about creating or shipping a product, because the platform you use will do all that for you. There are pros and cons with each method, so be sure to have a listen!

    This episode is not sponsored by any of the above sites, I'm just hoping to share my own knowledge and experience with them!

  • Quit Doing That!! Plus: I Love Li Ziqi, Garden & Studio Updates, and a New Format?
    As mentioned a while back, I'm going to start doing podcasts on a monthly basis for a while (maybe twice a month if I get real ambitious.) ;)
