Thank you Lisa for writing both your blog sites. I try to read them every day. I agree with a lot of the above comments!!
* I want to know more about getting started with a blog
* focus on getting started with a craft business
* I love reading stories and advice about how other crafters started
* I need help with organization and motivation too

Please keep writing your great blog posts – I look forward to them.

Thanks Lisa, for your kind words…been meaning to get back online but it’s been a busy few days! Looking over my ramblings, I see that my weakest areas seem to be:

*Focus
*Follow-through
*Organization
*Motivation, and sometimes
*Administration (maintaining records, etc.)

I would love to see more posts on these. Thank you again for your encouragement and for all the great information your posts offer!

Hi,

I’d like to hear more about your working together with factories for custom designs, about marketing and about how to manage getting into bigger business like trade shows.
So far your blog has been so inspiring to me and motivates me to have another try to get my online-shop buzzing.

Hey Lisa,
I would like to see stories/interviews from other crafters on their story and their lessons learned. Marketing on a shoestring. Tech stuff that is useful for indies.

I’d like anything on the first 4 and last 3 bullets. More info about craft blogs and store, and interviews would be an interesting read. And anything about blogging in general would be cool too!

Thanks for everything you’ve written so far on this blog. It’s made me think about things in different ways. That’s a good thing. I’d love more marketing suggestions – which method works best for you? Are magazine adverts helpful? How do you get your blog noticed – that’s even before anyone decides whether they want to read it or not.

Well, any of those would be great, except maybe the Krispy Kreme one. If you write about that, then I’ll start craving donuts and then I’ll start wondering what’s so great about Krispy Kreme (never had one), and there’s only one shop in all of Japan, and well that’s in Tokyo, so then I’ll start wanting to go to Tokyo…. so you can see my problem with that post

But, what I would really love to know, is, working from home, how do you organise your day/week? I’m always in awe of how much you achieve and I’d love to know how you stay focused and get things done. Oh, and maybe, how do you manage to balance other parts of your life. I’m working on all that myself at the moment and would love to hear how others do it.

Hi Lisa. Basically, wholesale stuff would be good (before I get out of my depth here!), marketing as said before, production tips to take it from tiny business to the next stage – how? More interviews (Poppy Treffry would be good), but what you do is brilliant – keep going please! xx

Lisa, I think you have a lot of great stuff you could say on customer service dos and don’ts. How did you figure out what works best for your shop. Anything you tried which didn’t?

I’d like to read more about motivation and goal setting for crafters. I think that inspiring personal stories and antecdotes from people who have crafting businesses would be great to read about, too. I always like to learn how people got started in their businesses and what keeps them going, especially people that have to overcome a lot of obstacles. I really like your blog ~~ just keep writing ~ you’re doing a great job!

Hello Lisa, I have learned a lot from your 2 blogs, but I would like to know more about dealing with bricks and mortar shops. How do you decide trade prices on wholesale orders, etc. Thank You!

I’m not sure if I understood all your suggestions, but “more tecchie stuff” sounds well or
to know more about blogging.

I'm interested in how you run your shop. How you set it up & everything, the whole history about it. Jennies last blog post..Polka Dot Wrap skirt

I have been approached by a lovely store who is thinking about buying my craft wholesale. Now I do not know where to even begin on Wholesaling as I mainly sell on my etsy store or in craft markets.

Any tips on Wholesaling would be appreciated.

Thank you. :*)
