A couple of things to note for #31CBBC peeps: (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 with Host Amy
- 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.

Yes Sara, I’d Love Blog Updates
Hey Sara!
Great video! I’m using AWeber right now but I get lots of questions about MailChimp so now I know where to send people for tutorials.
Thanks so much!
btw – I have a YouTuber’s tribe on Triberr to help get the word out about our videos, I’ll send you an invite.

A big thanks to you Sara
The whole series is life saving! I am on MailChimp since last year but never had the patience to browse through all the details…it gave me headache every time.
But thanks to you, I have this wonderful series to refer repeatedly. Big thanks to Ileane Smith (BasicBlogTips.com) for sharing your post.
