Marie Segares has been an authority on the business of crochet for years. Her Creative Yarn Entrepreneur site and podcast have helped many designers start or grow their business, including me. So I'm very excited to review her new book: Design It, Promote It, Sell It - Online Marketing for your Crochet and Knit Patterns.
Not just for designers!
This book is invaluable for anyone who wants to knit or crochet as a business. If that's not you, it's still an intriguing look into the business behind the patterns you enjoy! It's also a great introduction to online marketing for any kind of business.Timely and timeless
The book does go into specific social media platforms and marketing strategies, which can change over time. Most of the book, however, discusses more timeless marketing concepts. It is divided into 5 sections that take you from a broad-strokes, crash course in marketing to specific action items and resources.Plan, evaluate, optimize
Work through defining your business and audience, developing a marketing strategy, evaluating your results, and focusing your efforts where they are the most rewarding. Learn about marketing on Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, and other social media platforms.Find new tools to add value and encourage interaction with your customers. Explore some common pitfalls, and find a balance between marketing efforts and all the other aspects of your business.
A marketing expert
Marie is not only a talented designer herself, but also has a strong marketing background which really shows through. Read this author interview for more information about her, and the journey that brought her to write this book.
