How Can You Make Money With Your Crochet Blog?
There are many ways to make money with your crochet blog. Here are the 10 that I highlight in Hooking for Cash.
First you need to take the first step is to decide whether you really want to run a business.
Second, switch your blog from free blogger or free WordPress to a self-hosted site.This is taking responsibility for your business by owning your website.
Finally, set up a mailing list so that you can connect with your followers. Facebook, Google+ and Twitter are not enough. If for some reason those become deleted or closed down you need to have a way to contact your followers and a mailing list is it.
