Hi Allison! This was an awesome video. It does not hurt at all that you are smart, talented, kind, young and pretty. I’ve been crocheting for over 50 years, so have lots of experience. However, I’m finding the younger crocheters want nothing to do with senior crocheters. So for us, it’s nearly impossible to grow your channel. However, I started RU-vid as a paper crafter and my community there is extraordinary! I put my plushie videos up on Wednesday and so many times those items sell the same day. I’m very blessed. So YES, I need help with lighting, photos, editing…all that good stuff cuz this old lay is not that social media savvy!! Keep up the great work Allison, just luv ya! 🦋❤️🦋❤️
Yes please part 2! Thank you for all your hard work and awesome patterns. I LOVE how you include mods and small extras in some of your patterns. Excited to try them and will definitely be getting more soon❤
Your marketing background gives us an advantage, because you are teaching us. Better than some college courses for starting a business, reading from a book, with a person that has no personal small business. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!❤❤❤😊😊😊
This is so helpful! A part 2 with more tips on lighting and engaging you following, or any other tools you use would be so nice to see too! Thank you for sharing your insight with us!! 😊
You are the cutest … I’m a grandmother of 5 and great aunt to new Identical twin girls, so your creations are a God-send! Thank you for all of your content ❤
Great advice! I have had an Instagram for a while but have shifted my content now that I’m selling patterns and not just plushies and it is a lot of work! I am also brand new to RU-vid. Would love to hear some of your advice for RU-vid as well
Hi. I've been crochetijg for 10 yrs now. Over the past few years family & friends have told me I should post on IG & start a business. Often I think: there is are many crochet posts already out there who would see mine? Could you do a post about what hashtags to use? Also, I just bought big twist posh. What other brands match well with it? Posh doesn't have all yhe colours I need. My favorite thing to make is amigurumi but I'm new to using plush yarn.
You can definitely grow your presence locally by doing markets and local events and by word of mouth from friends. You can also work on growing your email list as well. I will say that social media is the easiest way to grow your customer base in my experience
I don't use chenille yarns so it takes longer for me to complete projects, does it still count as consistency if I post both complete projects and in-progress projects? Because, otherwise the time in between my post can drag if I am doing the longer more intricate patterns that I prefer.
Please Alison can you help ? My daughter in law is having our first grandchild and she wants me to crochet all the Winnie the Pooh characters to make a crib mobile -😩please can you help 🙏🏻❤️
