Hi, and thanks for visiting this page.

This course is undergoing a MASSIVE rebuild. It is going to return as a Complete, and very big, Course covering every aspect of crafts marketing.

Please contact me if you would like to be notified when this launches.

REVISION.

So, covid changed the world.

A lot! Both online for your crafting methods and offline. Plus it messed with the economy too, and that sent you more opposition and fewer buyers.

I tell you this because I live in that world. It means that for me to do a new revision of this course would mean that I would have to stop all my other businesses.

I do not want to do that.

I will still offer anyone a free chat, and then perhaps take you under my wing with me as your mentor for as long as you need me or as long as your budget allows.

Use the email at the bottom of the page to contact me if you are serious about your business.

Premium Crafting Business Course

A Complete Course Designed for Those who are Planning  a Work From Home Business

While I focus on hand crafts the course also includes products that are not necessarily craft orientated, but are still popular with work from home businesses

Included are the initial product planning, business planning, niche markets, Choosing the correct craft markets or trade shows for your product, massive tips and tricks in the actual marketing, how to split for multiple income streams, knowing how to go online and a whole lot more.

Unfortunately a massive amount of craft marketers learn very bad habits from experienced marketers who learned the same bad habits from others.

My tactics will blow the whole lot out of the park – come in and see for yourself

In this page here where I show you what I have included in this course, I try my best to just explain what I include in the course and what your benefit from the course will be as I like to believe that what I have done needs not to be “sold” to you.

 

How to maximize your choice of craft products, your choice of size of products and the venues you sell at, so as to get the best return for your time and money in your crafting business

Originally this course was only full of magic advice for work from home businesses and how you can make a lot of money from a home business of your choosing.

I distilled all my experience from working from home over a 20 plus year business career and wrote it out for you here.

But since I completed the original course I have been mentoring small business owners on how to get the maximum out of online marketing. I have been revising this course to now include a lot of the advice I have been giving my clients over the last 5 years I have been online

Please read all the descriptions here below

Book One – Introduction

 

This is the first book of the course and is designed to get you an overall understanding of the steps I cover in detail in this Crafting Course.

 

It is only 16 pages and covers the reasons for planning your business correctly and goes over things like the offline vs the online side of things.

The knowledge that you will be covering all aspects of planning your home business from the planning stages to the eventual three or four way split you should achieve to keep your business stable with a few different income streams.

I am not one of those people who promise you that they will not “fluff” out the course with filler. I intentionally do it with good reason, examples and explanations are important when you are planning your future.

I do have a lot to share with you and will therefore give you your moneys worth at every step.

 

Book Two Check Lists

 

While this book is still exploring the possibilities that you could and should research for your business it does suggest and point out a few vital aspects to your Business.

 

It is only a 14 page report and covers a few checklists for you to note and remember when you get deeper into the training.

I have added a bonus report at the end of this page that is absolutely vital to the steps you need to apply in the research of your business.

Please remember the check that one out at the end of this page.

The Third Book The Business Plan

 

This book is so full of great advice relating to the preparation and planning of your work from home business that it is worth the value of this course all on its own.

Planning stages in a business are so important that you cannot overlook all those many small but vital aspects that will be a combination of pluses and minuses that will be your success or failure in your business.

I would even suggest that those of you who are already running your business take a close look at all the suggestions and ideas proposed in this business planning section of the course.

In this course there are two or three books that are absolutely necessary to how you plan your business. This one is definitely one of them.

It is a 35 page report that stands on its own for great advice for your work from home business ideas

Book Four – Products and Ideas

This 23 page book is chock full of ideas on products with some sound advice

I do a single detailed example on a product idea – Blanket Jackets, and go into some detail as to how you would approach making a product like this.

This book is not crucial to your start up or re alignment of your new home business, but is added to give you some great ideas and I use my years of experience to discuss some potentially profitable types of products with you – covering the good points and some bad points for each idea.

Please note that his one still covers ideas and examples and could be read earlier than the one where you need to already do your business plan.

Book Five – Shows and Festivals

 

A 30 page book that I really enjoyed compiling for you.

Because I have been trading and selling different products on the markets for many years, I have tried a lot of these diverse markets that I describe here in this report.

Us this book to help you see and understand how much potential there is out there from a diversity trading point of view.

You  have a such a vast array of choices when it comes to choosing where you would like to sell your crafts or products that you actually need a guide like this one to give you the advantage of knowing your options from the very beginning.

I cover every type of show from charity events to the big commercial trade shows. Enjoy this one

Book Six – Tips and Tricks

 

A 63 page book that is worth three time the entire course price – without question

No jokes, this book has so much great advice that it is by far the most valuable in this entire series of books. Later I will be telling you that the books from 8 to 15 are unimportant, and that is true.

But believe me when I tell you that the information here in this tips and trick book is massively valuable.

Even the most experienced craft market trader will learn a few things – or get reminded of a few vital things.

Take no chances on missing out on this information

Book Seven – Going Online And Sideways

 

The title is a bit obscure, but the idea is clear. I encourage you to work hard at setting up other income streams that closely relate to your existing business.

If you had two or three related business – related very closely in product – but differed hugely in how and where you do your marketing, you will build a safety net into your cash flow that will stand your business in good stead in your future.

This is only 23 pages but will give you a lot of great ideas on how you can stagger your existing craft or home business so that your stability financially becomes almost bullet proof.

Perhaps your first business was set up along one of these lines and you could then use any of the other possibilities to gain other cash flow options.

Finally I refer to the importance of your online business needs – This book is as important as all the other core books. 

Book Eight – Resources and a recap

 

Have I told you yet that I am stupid honest? I will tell you the truth even when I know it is not a very good idea!

Well this is one of those situations. This 6 page book is pretty much just 3 real pages of nothing. Just my email address really.

Why the hell did I do that?

Well the book used to be full of really great links to a lot of products and services online. But back in 2009 when I first wrote this book – they were cutting edge stuff. Not so much now – I am sorry to admit. The internet evolves so very fast that I decided to just remove all the links in this book. Which left me with three pages of waffle – Sorry 🙂

But because all the covers and books had been written, it is easier for me to admit this blubs, than to go and re-number all the other books.

Please enjoy my honesty here – you will find it in spades in the course too

There is More - Please Keep Reading

Books Nine To Fifteen – Images

The remaining books are more pictorials than information. They are done to give you inspiration and see some examples of layouts and products.

Please see the titles to see which book had what type of pictorial
