"I haven't sold a knit pattern in 6-months. Help!

You haven't made a sale in 6-months.

You have 5, 12, 23, 171 patterns for sale on Ravelry.

You run sales, offering massive discounts.

You post on Instagram.

You boost posts on Facebook, spending $5, 10, $25...

You've tried everything the gurus say to do. And NOTHING is working.

The problems are that you are trying everything.You are hearing new tactics and trying them without creating a strategy to tie all the tactics together. You try a tactic for a few weeks, nothing happens, so you go try the next thing. You lack consistency because you are just flying by the seat of your pants, following gurus that are not in your industry and are sharing tips that doesn't necessarily work for knitwear and crochet designers.

And that is what Pattern Launch Plan can do for you - showing you how to create a strategy that brings in consistent sales so you don't have to keep releasing new patterns in order to make a sale. 

 

Now, you have 2 simple choices to make:

1) continue for another 6-months as you are without a sale
OR
2) you give up!

Your designs are fantastic.

They deserve to be see. But you're not excited about designing anymore because knitters aren't favoring, queuing, and knitting your patterns.

"What's the point?"

There is one other option you can make:
Get the Pattern Launch Plan (Print or Kindle) and start selling your patterns. NOT just one or two a month but MORE patterns, consistently.

Do you want to go through another 6-months without a sale? YES?! Close this post and move to the next funny knitting video.

BUT, if you want in 6-months to be excited about designing again because you are making consistent sales, then learn more

I went a bit crazy... I blame it on the yarn fumes 💕

Pre-S: Calling all Knit + Crochet Designers! My new ebook, Pattern Launch Plan, was created for you. I'm taking you through the knitty gritty of marketing your designs and selling your patterns, consistently, without you feeling sleazy. Learn more here >> So, this Sunday I attend Stitches United in Hartford at the Ct Convention Center. I had the opportunity to work the Knit Picks booth and O.M.G., it was amazeball. Beyond being able to hang out with the Knit Picks' team, I was able to play with the yarn and talk to knitters and crocheters about yarn, patterns, tools, and most fun, their projects.  I so wish I could go to the Knit Picks' warehouse in Ohio and go all Scrooge McDuck in their yarn vault. If they don't have a vault of yarn I can dive into and swim around, don't tell me. Ignorance is bliss. Of course, when you go to a yarn show, you have to get a few things. I was very restrained... A show like Stitches is so inspiring. You see so many designs you've admired on Ravelry in real life so you can see how it fits normal bodies. Being in the Knit Picks booth gave me a different perspective which just being a shopper walking around the show. It was great seeing all the beautiful knit and crochet shawls, colorwork sweaters, and the cabled hats up close. It's talking to the dad and his son about needles. It's chatting with a mom about her little girl's yoke colorwork cardigan, turning the piece inside out to see the crochet steeks and floats on the inside. Also, talking to a knitter about her upcoming project and helping her select the perfect yarn so she can go home and cast-on for the swatch. Overall, it was an amazing experience. Thank you Knit Picks for allowing me to step into your booth and share my love of all your yarns and notions.  I blame it on the yarn fumes. Now, you didn't think I left the show empty-handed did you. Yes, I'm such a yarn piggie. Don't tar and feather me in the streets. I plan on sharing with you... so stay tuned! Not only did I get yarn, I got some tools that I've been dying to try, like the Options Interchangeable Mosaic Knitting Set. I haven't used wooden needles in the since my early days of learning to knit and did not like it. These wooden needles are smooth and knits like butter... what held me back so long. I also got the Onyx Swift to go with my new all white workstation in my home office. Here are some pictures below. I know you've been to yarn and fiber shows. Leave a comment below and let me know - what did you like best about the show? Do you like testing out new products or getting old faithful's at these shows? Let me know. Until next time... stitch on Tian
