ATTENTION KNIT & CROCHET DESIGNERS: What I've found is that designers don't want to be sales-y, so they don't promote their work because they don't know what to say or what to do or when. But if you are not talking about yourself and your designs, no one will know about either, and then you won't have a business. The concept that if you build it they will come or that your designs should speak for itself is all a myth! In my new program, Pattern Launch Plan, I'll show you what to say on social media, what to blog about, what to email your list, etc. and most importantly, when - in order to grow you design brand and generate more revenue.
