“Question And Answer Q&a Sign And 3d Character As Symbol For Supp” by Stuart Miles via freedigitalphotos.net
One way to show you’re involved with your customers and community is to answer their questions promptly.
I like to visit crochet forums and sites like Yahoo questions and share what I know. Sometimes you will see questions on Facebook and Twitter.

Two crochet communities I like are CrochetGeek (I’d share an example from her but she’s blocked me - still, she is a great community organizer plus she’s the first Youtube crochet teacher I followed – you should check her out.) and BobWilson123. They always share community generated questions on their social networks. This way the entire community’s knowledge can be utilized to answer.
Example from BobWilson123:
Jekamiah has a question for you guys. Is anyone able to help her? Hello All, Does anyone know of a brand of yarn… http://t.co/KMI0qjmAxX

Forums You Might Visit:
Crochetville.com and CrochetTalk.com are great learning communities.
Your Customers and Readers:
The great thing about feedback (positive and negative) is you can adjust what you are doing. When your customers like something, do more of it. If your readers start complaining (and it is within your power) change it.
Your Turn: Visit one of the communities above, find a question, and answer it. Share the question on Twitter or Facebook with hashtag #31CBBC so we can join in.
side note: Why is it bothering me that Crochetgeek blocked me? it’s like I lost a friend
A couple of things to note: (all are optional)
- Comments are welcome and encouraged
- Visit the FB group and add your post for the day to the pinned post if you’d like to receive at least 2-comments on your post.
- Join the Crochet Business Blogger G+ Community
- Community Event: Cro-Pinteresting Sunday (how to join in)
- Add your blog url to the #31CBBC linky (not the post url) – this will help you identify who is participating
- As you are visiting other bloggers, take note of any similarities you have or complimentary projects/services you have. This is a great time to jot down the blog name and get to know the blogger behind the blog.
- Don’t stress on writing a post each day. A picture with your thoughts, a video, a top 5 list, or simply a quote on why you like crochet all counts as a post.

About Sara Duggan
Nice post, Sara. I do stress sometimes about new posts for my blogs! (I think I have too many, but I don’t have the heart to close any one of them since each has a community around it! I am a people person.) Anyway, I will try to see about less time-consuming posts, to ease up on stress. About CrochetGeek. Maybe it’s a misunderstanding of some sort. I think many site owners are afraid of Google’s crackdowns on affiliates and on being connected with them (they have really laid a heavy hand on some people,) but you use proper disclaimers, so maybe it was an overly anxious concern about being targeted by Panda. Don’t lose sleep over it, just keep on your merry way. Take care!
Clotilde, I won’t lose sleep on it. I didn’t think about the affiliate connection – for her that would be important as she uses adsense for her videos.
