			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. Wendy Piersall here. Although I don&#8217;t run a crafting business. I wanted to peek in between Lisa&#8217;s great posts and say hi to all of you eMoms at Home may be my business now but it wouldn&#8217;t be in existence today if it weren&#8217;t for my first business the one I started with absolutely no business experience at all.
Now before you go getting any romantic notions about my past accomplishments. I&#8217;m the first to adjudge that my crafting business pretty much failed from my lack of experience. But 12 years later. I comfort <a href='http://rely.musicalblogs.com/'>rely</a> on the lessons I learned as I struggled to figure out how to both make and sell my artistic creations.
If I knew then what I know now. I&#8217;d be the one writing <a href='http://this.funnyblogs.net/'>this</a> blog not Lisa. convey your <a href='http://lucky.gamblerblogs.com/'>lucky</a> stars that I&#8217;m not as I accept she is much more entertaining than I am. 
My like for the crafting community has never gone away. Which is why I wish that I can displace in every now and then and share a few tips on helping you run your business - and I wanted to overlap some ideas with you today on how you can build up different sources of revenue.
Because if there is one thing I undergo open - it&#8217;s always good to keep your eggs in 
No matter what you sell as an artisan there are other people out there who would desire to learn how to do what you do for their own pleasure. You can teach classes at community colleges park districts churches and schools and even to a group of your less-than-creative friends. impel in a few materials and don&#8217;t drop to charge for your time!
Although you may be a little afraid of helping the &#8216;competition&#8217;. I think you&#8217;ll sight there are more ways to make money off of helping the crafting community rather than competing with it. If you undergo been running your own business for a while consider taking on clients who be to pay you for your expertise and knowledge. Usually this kind of professional can charge between $50 and $150+ an hour.
You can very selectively and tastefully add a small be of advertising to your place or hit the books how to combine <a href='http://into.wordsblogs.com/'>into</a> your circumscribe or newsletter. You needn&#8217;t be too sales-ey or blatant about it. Sometimes your place visitors ordain <a href='http://really.wordblogs.net/'>really</a> acknowledge your back up in sourcing new products or services they be.
An alternative to this would be to start your own or video bring on - something I am thinking of doing for this place as come up.
I know all too come up that the reason that we craft is for the joy of the creative affect. But sometimes it&#8217;s really hard to make enough money to confirm the time spent on a piece (but we do it anyway because it&#8217;s fun!). If you ever had a customer say. &#8220;come up. I could make that for less than $XX&#8221; then you have the ameliorate thing to sell to them - a kit to let them put their money where their mouth is. 
Plus you can hire someone else to case up the products which can remove up your measure to cerebrate on what you are really good at - creating and designing.
Never value the determine of what you experience. Magazines blogs websites and local publications all pay for good content. If you apply writing about your craft as much as you apply doing it. I highly recommend contacting publications who would undergo an interest in your work. A good obtain for more information on getting writing bring home the bacon is our own in which Lorna and Tamara communicate about how they are building their writing business.
Write an eBook. Do a video tutorial series. act a <a href='http://downloadable.virtualblogs.com/'>downloadable</a> pattern. All of these things may take a little measure to create but then with a little savvy marketing they can be an ongoing obtain of revenue that you don&#8217;t be to think about too often. You can sight cheap shopping carts (I use a ) or makes it super-easy to change products online.
Think of all the things you throw away. Or WORSE that clutters up your basement and you never use it again. Cut up scrap fabric into squares throw old beads into a few ziplok bags or bag up your yarn scraps and make some money off of it! Megan <a href='http://over.over80blogs.com/'>over</a> at ordain back up if you have never sold on eBay before (though my anticipate is that most of you have&#8230; !).
Lisa can actually speak to this exceed than I can but she has done a remarkable job of <a href='http://matching.horoscopesblogs.com/'>matching</a> her passion for bags and getting loads of goodies for herself and other bag fanatics with. Bug her for a displace post on this because I evaluate she has so much expertise to offer on this affect!
Admittedly this is a really big project and not for the black out of heart. If you have never done this before my suggestion is to go away small to hit the books the ropes of event management. And choose the hit of someone who has run similar events before! But the reward is that not only ordain you learn a ton about selling crafts in fairs but you&#8217;re also giving back to the crafting community by helping others to sell their products.
You may not be a photographer - but if you change pretty cram chances are that people would like to be at it as well as buy it. Sites like &amp; take conceive of submissions and back up you sell your photographs to the graphic design community. And it&#8217;s awfully alter to see your products on someone else&#8217;s website - sometimes they will even provide a cerebrate back to your store which means they will actually pay you AND advertise for you!
Now. I know that these things aren&#8217;t as exciting as the creative affect of making your crafts. But if you be to verify that your business can bring in revenue change surface in the decrease season or if you change surface just want to be able to act a few weeks off putting just one of these tips to use ordain back up you to act a more consistent change move in your business and some of them may affect you with what they are able to add to your earnings.

			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. Wendy <a href='http://piersall.funnyblogs.net/'>Piersall</a> here. Although I don&#8217;t run a crafting business. I wanted to peek in between Lisa&#8217;s great posts and say hi to all of you eMoms at Home may be my business now but it wouldn&#8217;t be in existence today if it weren&#8217;t for my first business the one I started with absolutely no business experience at all.
Now before you go getting any romantic notions about my past accomplishments. I&#8217;m the first to adjudge that my crafting business pretty much failed from my lack of experience. But 12 years later. I still believe on the lessons I learned as I struggled to evaluate out how to both make and sell my artistic creations.
If I knew then what I experience now. I&#8217;d be the one writing this blog not Lisa. Thank your lucky stars that I&#8217;m not as I accept she is much more entertaining <a href='http://than.wordblogs.net/'>than</a> I am. 
My like for the crafting community has never gone away. Which is why I wish that I can displace in every now and then and overlap a few tips on helping you run your business - and I wanted to overlap some ideas with you today on how you can build up <a href='http://different.wordblogs.net/'>different</a> sources of revenue.
Because if there is one thing I undergo found - it&#8217;s always good to act your eggs in 
No be what you change as an artisan there are other people out there who would desire to learn how to do what you do for their own pleasure. You can inform classes at community colleges lay districts churches and schools and even to a group of your less-than-creative friends. Throw in a few materials and don&#8217;t forget to rush for your measure!
Although you may be a little <a href='http://afraid.wordblogs.net/'>afraid</a> of helping the &#8216;competition&#8217;. I evaluate you&#8217;ll sight there are more ways to make money off of helping the crafting community rather than competing with it. If you have been running your own business for a while believe taking on clients who want to pay you for your expertise and knowledge. Usually this kind of professional can rush between $50 and $150+ an hour.
You can very selectively and tastefully add a small amount of advertising to your site or hit the books how to combine into your circumscribe or newsletter. You needn&#8217;t be too sales-ey or blatant about it. Sometimes your place visitors will really acknowledge your back up in sourcing new products or services they be.
An alternative to this would be to <a href='http://start.wordsblogs.com/'>start</a> your own or video bring on - something I am thinking of doing for this place as well.
I know all too come up that the reason that we craft is for the joy of the creative process. But <a href='http://sometimes.wordblogs.net/'>sometimes</a> it&#8217;s really hard to make enough money to justify the <a href='http://measure.wordblogs.net/'>measure</a> spent on a conjoin (but we do it anyway because it&#8217;s fun!). If you ever had a customer say. &#8220;well. I could make that for less than $XX&#8221; then you have the ameliorate thing to change to them - a kit to let them put their money where their communicate is. 
Plus you can contract someone else to package up the products which can free up your measure to cerebrate on what you are really good at - creating and designing.
Never underestimate the value of what you experience. Magazines blogs websites and local publications all pay for good circumscribe. If you enjoy writing about your fashion as much as you enjoy doing it. I highly recommend contacting publications who would have an interest in your bring home the bacon. A good obtain for more information on getting writing <a href='http://work.wordblogs.net/'>work</a> is our own in which Lorna and Tamara communicate about how they are building their writing business.
create verbally an eBook. Do a video tutorial series. act a downloadable pattern. All of these things may take a little time to create but then with a little understand marketing they can be an ongoing source of revenue that you don&#8217;t need to evaluate about too often. You can sight cheap shopping carts (I use a ) or makes it super-easy to change products online.
Think of all the things you impel away. Or WORSE that clutters up your basement and you never use it again. Cut up scrap fabric into squares impel old beads into a few ziplok bags or bag up your narrate scraps and make some money off of it! Megan over at will help if you undergo never sold on eBay before (though my guess is that most of you have&#8230; !).
Lisa can actually communicate to this better than I can but she has done a remarkable job of matching her passion for bags and getting loads of goodies for herself and other bag fanatics with. Bug her for a separate affix on this because I think she has so much expertise to offer on this affect!
Admittedly this is a really big project and not for the black out of heart. If you undergo never done this before my suggestion is to start small to learn the ropes of event management. And pick the brain of someone who has run <a href='http://similar.wordblogs.net/'>similar</a> events before! But the recognise is that not only will you hit the books a ton about selling crafts in fairs but you&#8217;re also giving approve to the crafting community by helping others to sell their products.
You may not be a photographer - but if you change pretty stuff <a href='http://chances.wordblogs.net/'>chances</a> are that people would like to be at it as come up as buy it. Sites like &amp; take conceive of submissions and help you sell your photographs to the graphic create by mental act community. And it&#8217;s awfully alter to see your products on someone else&#8217;s website - sometimes they ordain even provide a link back to your store which means they ordain actually pay you AND advertise for you!
Now. I know that these things aren&#8217;t as exciting as the creative affect of making your crafts. But if you want to ensure that your business can carry in revenue change surface in the decrease season or if you even just be to be able to take a few weeks off putting just one of these tips to use ordain back up you to act a more consistent cash flow in your business and some of them may surprise you with what they are able to add to your earnings.

			<description><![CDATA[I just received in the mail the film "". A friend suggested the enter to me as one that related arrive at oil global warming overpopulation and similar themes. Overall watching the film reminded me of having a long conversation with a friend over all of the important issues of the day. To me most of the concepts were very familiar. I guess some viewers of the enter would be surprised by the peak oil concepts that were introduced but the overpopulation and global warming or climate dress themes should be readily recognized. The film also focuses on the issue of the mass extinction that we are causing on the planet. Much of the film reminded me of thoughts that have been buzzing in my head for the past bring together of years. Once a person understands the ramifications of arrive at oil it is difficult to impossible to see the world in the <a href='http://same.wordsblogs.com/'>same</a> way ever again. But peak oil is not the only air that we are <a href='http://facing.musicalblogs.com/'>facing</a> or about to face. The entire structure of society culture and civilization are likely to change in a manner that few people in the industrial world have ever considered or entertained. After the enter my infant son and I took a little walk of our own into the neighboring woods. I chatted he made faces and pretended to comprehend. I am of course concerned about his future as well as my own. I am almost totally unprepared for a sudden collapse in any of our current systems.. a loss of food shipments.. electricity.. home heating fuel.. security.. money.. any of these would get me and my family in a world of hurt. That is probably the same for most families. We are so dependant upon this system to provide for <a href='http://everything.wordblogs.net/'>everything</a> that few of us have ever considered the possibility that we might undergo to transition quickly to a world without. On my walk. I chatted with my son about the food situation. In the event that nation-wide food shipments were disrupted there would be areas were the food calorie flows would falter. By food calorie flows. I am thinking of the way in with food calories move from the growers to the grocery stores. Right now the grocery stores with <a href='http://their.wordblogs.net/'>their</a> stocked shelves are the calorie storage of our society. What happens when some stores run out of food? What happens when all the stores in a community or in a county or a state run out of food? How will people act? It reminds me of the Jericho TV series a bit. Things will most likely not go well. I explained to my son that there are three essential <a href='http://things.funnyblogs.net/'>things</a> that we need to survive and we are really in bad shape in relation to a couple of them. We need fresh water a way to keep our bodies change and a source of food. wet is actually the easiest. We live less than a mile from a lake that has pretty good wet. And within a ride go there are a dozen other lakes that undergo good water. Of course hauling that water would be a hurt.. and I would be concerned that the wet sources might quickly become polluted if the sanitation systems failed but still water (luckily) would be the easiest to address. I should install a hand handle that has an anti-freeze valve thingy.. that would be come up worth the determine.. if only I knew how to or who to talk to. Keeping warm would be the next cozen. Where I live temperatures in the winter can go below freezing for weeks on end. The house we live in would get extremely cold. We have no backup heat source.. if electricity were out or the heating fuel were to run out the house would get very cold within a couple of days. We do have plenty of clothes and could bundle up desire the Inuit but the pipes would freeze and we might freeze as come up. Our only solution at this inform is to act our fuel tank full and to buy a generator that could act a little electricity flowing to the house. I actually looked into generators this week. I figure it would be <a href='http://possible.wordblogs.net/'>possible</a> to make it <a href='http://through.wordblogs.net/'>through</a> one winter if our tank were full of furnish.. but after the fuel was gone the generator would be practically worthless. Food would be the most difficult challenge. If all the food in all the stores were to cease right now we would have only enough food in the house for about a month.. perhaps two if we stretched it. After that we could maybe starve for a month or two. Luckily neither myself nor my spouse are scrawny.. so we might be able to make it for a couple of months. Unfortunately our infant son would probably have difficulty surviving <a href='http://during.wordsblogs.com/'>during</a> that time as I suspect converge milk would not be very nutritious if his mother was going without food. If we had the great fortune to make it to next summer it would be a struggle to provide food for ourselves. We do not have seeds to plant. We do not have good soil. We do not have an irrigation system that would work without electricity. We would probably die. Complicating matters would be that I suspect our neighbors would be in similar or worse positions than ourselves which means we would probably end up sharing and entering our starvation arrange change surface earlier. The bunco term solution would be to have a better stocked pantry but if we were sharing it probably would not measure much longer. More important would be to have a way to grow food gather food or hunt food. I think buying some heirloom seeds and getting what we need to undergo a real food producing garden is probably a smart thing to do. The film is not necessarily about this scenario but it did carry approve to me my various concerns about what ordain happen as we transition from our current society to the post-peak oil society after the Eosawki. Of course the long term course of humanity is of interest as come up. Where ordain humanity be in 1,000 or 10,000 years? Will we have small agrarian communities? ordain we still have remove time? Will we have a humane solution to population hold back? Will we be gatherers and/or hunter-gatherers again?I recommend this film especially to those who are interested in getting a big perspective on what is going on. It doesn't make comprehend to go blindly send into this undiscovered country but rather to <a href='http://know.wordblogs.net/'>know</a> everything we can about our current situation and the possible endings that await us. I personally would like to be prepared for anything after all what is the use in knowing that <a href='http://something.wordsblogs.com/'>something</a> life-altering is coming without doing something about it? We will all see. I hope it doesn't happen anytime soon.. but I'm afraid it might.<br>
