One of the top questions I received recently was about starting a quilting website, or improving an existing website. I’ve been developing websites for well over 15 years, and have spent a lot of time evaluating the best ways to get things done. I’ve coded sites by hand, used Front Page and Dreamweaver, and have […]

I’m answering my first question from the Quilting Business community today, and it comes all the way from Israel. Here’s the question: Hi, I am an about-to-be unemployed high-tech writer who has been quilting 15 years. I have loads of experience with many quilting techniques that I have learned over the years. I enjoy wallhangings […]

Great news! As part of the Rollercoaster Quilting promotion, I was able to get a very special guest who I’m going to interview on Friday evening. This special guest (who will remain “secret” for now) has started up a successful business selling their quilting patterns over the Internet and to quilt shops. They’ve started from […]

I’m not going to bore you with the details, but I’ve been missing in action for the past couple of weeks thanks to the joys of technology. Who would have thought that routers and wireless Internet cards would be so complicated that you could take out your Internet access for a while.
But, now that I’ve got my technology troubles under control, I’m going to start providing the content I promised based on the opinion poll. The first new article will be in a separate blog post so it’s easier to find.
In other news, I’m also looking to completely redefine the products I offer here on the site. So instead of having a large product package with lots of bonuses, I’m going to be chunking the product down into smaller pieces at a much reduced price. That way, you’ll be able to get more targeted information based on your exact needs instead of a complete general business guide package.

I’m in the process of pulling together some ideas for my first big article around the new topic areas. I’m going to start with “how to sell your quilts” with a particular emphasis on why you need to create a story and price HIGHER. I know it sounds a little bit crazy, but if you want to succeed, you really need to work on the high end of the market (or at least the mid-high end).
Now, for some light housekeeping…
More…I am in the process of changing my email delivery methods. From now on, I’m going to be sending out an email when I post to the blog. This will make it easier to not only keep in touch with the Quilting Business community in a more organized fashion, but will also make sure all of the content is archived on the blog. But, since I’m switching the methods, you may receive duplicate emails from me if you signed up to the Quilting Business email list over the past two months. I’ll eventually remove the 35 or so people from the older blog list, but I wanted to apologize up front for duplicate emails.
