Goals: Shake Your Money Maker
Do you know what your money-maker is? Is it blogging or is it crocheting and selling your work? Do you partner with companies and market them? Do you teach others? Once you know what your money-maker is you’re ready for the first assignment which is goal setting.
What are your financial goals?
Do you need $500/month or $1000/month? When do you need this by? What are you willing to do to reach your goal? These are important questions to ask yourself and your family.
My goal is to one day earn our entire income from home .
I find it helpful to have a business plan for your crochet business.
What are your traffic goals for your blog?
In order to meet your financial goals you need to meet this goal – TRAFFIC – first. Frankly, if you don’t have this it will be pretty hard to make any money. This is true of a crochet blog or a crochet business.
Do you know how to check your traffic statistics? Before going any further go ahead and look at Google Analytics.
Log that into your journal – You’ll be checking these later this week.
- How will you track your traffic to your blog?
- How will you share your ‘Money Maker’?
- What will your ‘Money Maker’ look like? Blog, Creations, Partnerships, eBooks?

I am trying to figure out where I am supposed to download the “goal setting worksheet for this lesson”. I am not finding it anywhere.

Crista, I will email the worksheet for you. I used to host them on Scribd but they don’t allow unlimited downloads anymore.
