0:00 Welcome
2:13 Hey! I'm in CBA...when promoting my email list at my market next weekend, should I also offer 10% off their order if they sign up at the market? They would also get my coloring page freebie too.
4:30 I've been debating starting a blog for posts such as "10 Best Gifts to Celebrate Mom" and "5 Ways to Declutter Your Home" etc to feature my products. Im not sure how to go about it though. Thoughts?
12:11 My account has been put on reserve on Etsy and they say I’m in good standing, should I be worried? I only sell digital items so I do not have orders to process.
17:24 Random question...where did you get your basket that holds your scrap yarn? I've been looking for something similar.
18:40 Do you know if there’s a list of copyright words that will bump you? I had no idea you can’t use onesie!
21:04 I'm joining my first craft fair in July. Do you recommend I start my etsy shop before that? Should I only sell items at the fair that I can use for my etsy store?
22:50 Back to the Etsy issue on my account, I may have found the hold up...... Looks like I missed confirming the Plaid deposit. Oops! My bad!
23:40 newbie, HI most of my items are winter Xmas and Halloween when should I start my esty shop this year? thank you 
24:28 How do you find the motivation to work on Fall/Christmas items for holiday craft shows during the summer months! I’m a slowish crocheter trying to stock but all the summer things are so cute!!!
26:55 I get a lot of custom orders for items such as Pokemon and Disney. I make them, not post them for sale on my site but I post them on my social media to show people what requests I get. Is this okay?
35:27 If an item does not sell due to price. Should I consider lowering the price?
36:04 How to stay motivated when you have zero sales?
39:06 It's feasible to build a 6 figure business with crochet?!?!?!
40:47 So its's alright to use items such as your patterns (I have quite a few among others) since most designers give permission for finished piece sellers to use their patterns?
