I recieved a surprise package on my doorstep yesterday- a copy of Grow Your Handmade Business by Kari Chapin. And I'm oh so thrilled to say that I'm included in it!
You can find bits from me, Nicole Balch, Jay McCarroll, Lisa Congdon, Jessica Swift, Tara Gentile, Sue Eggen, Kelly Rae Roberts and so many other awesome voices from the "creative collective" amongst Kari's own advice and exercises.
And it covers everything you need to know to grow your handmade business from the ground up, from identifying your dream biz and goals for it, to writing your business plan, managing your time, getting your marketing plan together (I have a section in there on PR for indie biz owners, woot!), how to get the dolla dolla bills and where to find professional support when you need it.
Plus- it's pretty! And the letters bump up on the front cover and it feels good to hold in your hands.
Hope you guys check it out- it's an essential addition to an indie biz owner's bookshelf! Get more info and pick up a copy from Kari's site here, and check out her first book, Handmade Marketplace too if you don't have that yet!
{You did an amazing job, Kari, congrats! And thanks so much for including me! So much love.}
