Hi Amazonreaders,
I'm JasonMiles the co-author of Craft Business Power, and co-founder of LibertyJane Clothing. I want to take a minute to explain what you'll find in CraftBusiness Power.
This bookis written from experience. My wife and I started our craft business at ourkitchen table in February of 2008. She is the designer and I'm the marketer. Artist+ marketing = exciting growth. Together we built an exciting and successful craft oriented small business. You can see our work at libertyjaneclothing.com and pixiefaire.com.
Why readthis book?
Over the years we've worked with thousands of (frequently brilliant) crafters that don't have a marketing partner, they're missing that part of the equation. And an artisan without a marketer is most frequently a starving, frustrated, and unknown artist.
So this book is a 15-day step-by-step guide to working on the marketing related parts of a craft business written to help in these types of situations.
Each chapter includes the day's topic as well as an action item to complete and a Q&A where I interview Cinnamon about the topic. Cinnamon also wrote the introduction and in it she explains more about the relationship between her as a designer and me as a marketer.
Most of our pre-readers said the Q&A with Cinnamon was the part of the book they liked the most. It's a designers perspective on the marketing related topics. I think you'll probably really enjoy that part too.
All the best on your craft business,
Jason & Cinnamon Miles
