Day 7 of Crochet Business Blogging- I'm Official, Now What?

By crochet business has been registered and I have had my business license for a couple years now. Somehow I thought business would just appear *poof* customers!! Nope, it didn't work like that. So what do I do now?? This is one reason why I am participating in the Crochet Business Blogging Challenge,  in the past 7 days I have not only actually set a few goals but I have a less jumbled vision of my business and I have established some objectives.

So it only seems that the next step should be crocheting, LOL! I kinda lost my "crojo" in the past two months  with the holidays and such. I need to crochet new items to share on my blog and to post in my online stores.I want to have about 10 items to post by the 25th of this month. That is my crocheting goal!! Even if it is 5 new things and 5 old things I want to have something in those online shops that are now just sitting there. Once this is done I want to have a plan of action for marketing to help drive visitors to my shops and blog.

As I reread what I wrote I am a little nervous, but I can't quit if I haven't even tried yet!!

SHINE ON!!

Day 5 of Crochet Business Blogging- Are you my idea customer?

I must admit I did think about this when I thought about blogging. I wanted to blog about things that I loved and that I knew about. Which turned out to be sex and crochet...hahaha!! I spent several years as a "couples enhancement specialist" (ie selling sex toys and lingerie) and I have written and shared some of my erotic stories, not only with other crocheters but with people who don't crochet too. So it is my idea that I can successfully mix the two since I do crochet some rather sexy things. I want my blog to be friendly enough for other crocheters to visit my blog, I will share patterns I have written and found with those readers and I want it to be fun and sexy for anyone who just might be looking for something different. This is my blog market. Now my actual customer (who may or may not read my blog, although I hope they do!) will be someone who is purchasing my crochet items either for them self of for a gift. She is a trendsetter. She likes to stand out in a crowd. She can be described as eccentric or eclectic.

Are you my customer?? If you are tell me a little about yourself!!

SHINE ON!!

Day 3 Blog Challenge- How will I Know??

Yeah I am playing catch up but I am not gonna give up!! For Day 3 of the Crochet Business Blogging Challenge is to list my objectives and how I will celebrate achieving them. Objectives are the proof that you have reached a goal. They are like little landmarks on the road towards your goal. I think for all of my goals that I listed in my Day 2 post the objectives are almost the same for all...

*I will have increased traffic to my website/blog....when I reach 10 visits per day I will celebrate by getting my nails done...YAY!!

*I will have blog interaction....when I have 5 comments in one week on my blog I will celebrate by taking myself to dinner...YAY!!

*I will have 5 sales per month between $50-$100 each....I will celebrate by buying myself a purse...YAY!! (I love purses by the way, LOL)

These are my objectives, since I only listed goals for the first 6 months of this year I will double my objects for the 2nd half of this year. Like I said...This year is gonna be great!!

Let Me Introduce Myself...

So, I am fairly new to blogging but no stranger to writing and crocheting!! I decided to participate in the 31 Days of Crochet Blogging Challenge to get my blogging off to a rolling start this year! I would like to formally introduce myself, I am a freelance crochet/knitwear designer. The name of my design company is Sazzy by Sharell . I specialize in custom made crochet/knit swimwear, club wear and lingerie. I do offer my designs as patterns occasionally as well. I sell my items online via my website and periodically on ustrendy or etsy. I hope you not only enjoy my naughty crochet blogging adventures but take time to view my work as well!!
