One of the things crocheters face when deciding to turn their hobby into a business is HOW to sell their work.
What should I sell? How much should I sell it for? Where should I sell my goods? How do I advertise or market myself?
I had the same questions when I first started out selling my crochet. I don’t sell finished items any longer, I just blog and design but I remember how confusing it all was to start, so I decided to write up this six part series to help you have a successful career selling your handcrafted designs.
Before you get started with the series, you may want to read How to Pick a Business Name.

Part Three- How to Get the Prices You Deserve- Don’t Let Guilt and Fear Hold You Back
