Here's the secret to getting started sending regul Here's the secret to getting started sending regular newsletters for your business... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Start before you're ready! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yes, I said it. Don't wait until you have the perfect idea or template or thousands of people on your email list. Just sit down, set a timer for one hour and create something from the heart, then hit send. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but most people are going to delete your newsletter without even reading it. So, don't stress! But, for the ones who do read, make it worth their time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm on a mission to help other creatives stop feeling MEH about marketing and one of the ways I'm doing this is with our FREE online summit, Marketing for Makers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's two days of FREE workshops from industry experts to help you create an on-brand strategy and content you love to share about your business and what you make on social media, in your newsletter and beyond. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ RSVP & details via the link our bio! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks to our partner @constantcontact who is allowing us to provide this free education for you all. #entrepreneuradvice #emailmarketingtips #craftbusiness #craftersofinstagram
Did everyone know about this except for me? Thankf Did everyone know about this except for me? Thankfully @natterdoodles is a crafting expert and taught us all how to properly season our chalkboards before we created these hand-lettered masterpieces at Craftcation on our @walnuthollow chalkboards. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell me in the comments if you already knew about seasoning for chalkboards. I NEED to know! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. -You too can learn all sorts of crafting hacks and secrets at Craftcation! Registration opens June 15 and be sure to save the date for Craftcation 2024 April 3-7, 2024 in Ventura California. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Last year was my first Craftcation. I was anxious to attend alone but I got so much more out of it than I could have dreamed of. I left with new best friends, crafty skills and so much business info. Everyone was so inviting and friendly. It’s worth every penny (and then some!). I can’t wait to come back.” - Craftcation Alum ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❓ Have questions about Craftcation? Send me a DM!

What’s a Craftcation? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Five life-changing days. 200+ craft class, business workshop, social gatherings + wellness activities and it all happens at the beach in California. If this sounds like your cup of tea, join our waiting list (the 🔗 is in our bio) because registration opens June 15, 2023. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Save the date: Craftcation 2024 - April 3-7, 2024 in Ventura, Ca ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📣 PSST: We sell out every year so don’t delay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re looking for the community to call your own, look no further! Finding the people who get what it’s like to be a little (or a lot) weird, value creative expression and have a drive to share what they make with the world can be tough. But, we make it easy. Those are the people who gather each year for our Craftcation Conference. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because finding your creative community that will make you feel less alone and understood (along with building your creative business, and hanging out at the beach and getting creative) is what Craftcation is all about. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We can’t wait to welcome you to our community! #craftcation #entrepreneurship #craftybusiness #craftersofinstagram #smallbuisness
