Is it possible to grow a crochet business without social media? Well, that's what I'm doing for my crochet pattern business. I'm leaving social media behind and instead building something different that will work more effectively and for the long term - SEOI originally built my entire crochet business on Facebook, but when my marriage broke down I just couldn't be present and I ended up walking away from it all or 2 years. In that 2 years A LOT changed and I've realised that I just can't make social media work for me anymore - I just don't have the social energy. So instead I'm building back up using Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) which is a much more reliable, if slower way of growing your crochet business.Thank you for listening to the Crochet Business School podcast.If you are loving the show, I would appreciate it if you would leave us a review here, and don't forget to subscribe to my free Substack hereDon't forget to grab your free list of 12 ways you can profit from your crochet hereWant to work with me?
