There are 9 Essential Steps Every Crochet Business Needs if You Actually Expect to Get the Profits You Want! Read on to see how you too can take the overwhelm and guesswork out of building a profitable crochet business with step-by-step precision.
Since starting the program, my craft fair profits have doubled year over year. This year, I made $16K from just craft fair sales!
A major yarn brand just reached out to me to invite me to their featured designer program!
I've had to increase my monthly income goals and was surprised to hit my new target in the middle of this month!
From: the Yarn Studio of Pamela Grice, Founder and Crochet CEO
Growing a crochet business is so overwhelming! Especially when you’ve never started a business before, right?! And, if you’re like most of the Crochetpreneur® Business Academy members I work with, you got into this business because you wanted to share your love of crochet with the world…
…not spend all day trying to get your business seen!
But finding the right strategy, in fact, all of the business stuff is so overwhelming.
Not only is it hard to feel lost and not know where to turn for help, but feeling like an outsider in the maker community makes everything so much worse.
Don’t worry, Crochetpreneur® Business Academy has got you!
When you look around at all the successful product sellers and crochet designers you are currently following and look up to…
Notice, they ALL have built their business in a way that attracts their ideal customer and has them saying:
If your ideal customers aren’t saying these things, they are, also, not buying!
When crochet business aren’t selling, they start grasping at straws…lowering prices, trying to sell all the things to all the people, and confusing their potential customers in the process.
And it’s a basic fact that confused customers do NOT buy.
or worse! Mistake #2
These desperate sellers start looking around on social media, attempting to copy what others are doing in hopes of generating the same results – all the while, they’re forgetting that no one’s path to success is exactly the same and social media stories never give the full picture.
It’s like baking muffins without a recipe…
Piecing together random strategies doesn’t work!
Many struggling crochet business owners recognize that they are missing some foundational pieces to their business strategy, so they go out and gather all the free information on the internet about starting a handmade or design business.
But the reality is, piecing together a bits and pieces of strategies doesn’t make the problem go away!
In fact, until you FACE the foundational problem head on, the problem of running an unprofitable crochet business is never going to go away.
And after 7 years of selling crochet and designing and taking my business to six-figure revenues year after year, I want you to understand:
Your business NEEDS a leader who asks the right questions, follows the right strategies, and makes the right decisions. That’s what a crochet CEO does.
But when you keep relinquishing your power to random strangers on the internet, you’ll never learn to be that kind of leader.
Do you even know that the people you’re listening to have done what you want to do?
Do they understand the unique characteristics of the crochet marketplace?
Will they help you determine the best strategies to make YOUR dream of a successful crochet business come true?
The good news is, when you LEARN and MASTER the skills of running a profitable crochet business, your success is inevitable!
Well, you’re partially right! MOST people who try to start a crochet business find it difficult to break into the marketplace. But have you noticed that some people are?!
New faces are showing up on the scene every day, right?
New makers are developing new product lines and building engaged, raving fans.
New designers are getting themselves out there, being recognized by brands, signing book deals, making the money they’d hoped for.
Is it so hard to believe that if they can do it, so can you?
NO!
So what’s the difference between them and you?
Do they have some secret sauce? Do they have connections?
It’s doubtful. What is more likely is that they’ve figured out how to ask the right questions and make the right decisions in order to give their audience exactly what they’re looking for.
You want MORE sales, not less, right?
The first step is to understand that YOU can create a profitable crochet business EVEN IN A SATURATED MARKET when you take the right steps in the right order with the right mindset.
If you’re like most makers who have read this far, you’re starting to see the possibility of a profitable crochet business and what it will do to help you gain the financial and personal freedom you’ve been longing for…but you’re envisioning all those professional crocheters you admire and asking yourself,
“How will I ever measure up?!”
How do I know my products are good enough? How do I know anyone will want to buy from me? How will I ever be as popular, profitable, or professional as her…her…or him?!
It can be so intimidating to see the success of others that you might be tempted to not even try…to get yourself stuck in perfectionism and comparison and always finding yourself coming up short.
But here’s a little secret for you…every single one of those people you admire started off exactly where you are today but they knew…
You see, even though each crochet business is different, there is a RECIPE to growing profitably. And this recipe consists of 9 essential ingredients…or STEPS. And, if you’re missing even just one step, you run the run risk building a ‘business’ with no profit.
So, like I said, in answer to your question…
There is also a specific ORDER to each of those sections.
So, what if you had a set of follow-the-roadmap instructions for each of those steps? Imagine if you could follow these steps with paint-by-numbers precision and simplicity…EVEN if you have other responsibilities, work another job, or have never run a business before in your life!
No more overwhelm!
No more wondering if it will work!
No more wasting time trying all the random strategies you find on the internet!
…that you had a step-by-step process for building out each of the essential 9 steps of your crochet business…
…that you could spend just one hour a day, focused on simply working those steps…
…you could end the year with the profitable crochet business of your dreams!
And you’ll know that you’ve done it the right way…that you’ve covered all the bases, dotted all the Is, and set yourself a solid foundation for future profitability and freedom.
Wouldn’t that be amazing?
Well, you don’t have to imagine any longer, because…it’s here!
Easy to follow modules walk you through the foundations of your business so you know you’re optimized for profitability (and fun).
A searchable index helps you find exactly the lessons you need to take you from where you are now to where you’re going, without the overwhelm.
An ever-expanding resource library bring the checklists, calculators, trackers, and tech tutorials you need to keep your business organized and tasks streamlined.
Monthly masterclass replays bring you to the feet of industry experts who can’t wait to give you the behind the scenes secrets to profitability and building a business you love.

I had no clue what I was doing or how to do it. I had so many questions and not a lot of answers. I’ll admit I was hesitant about spending money on a crochet business course. What if I spent that money and then was no better off? I decided I needed help if ever I was going to learn to succeed, so I took the plunge and joined CBA. And you know what, I’ve never regretted it for one minute.
I haven’t even finished the course and already have a second business, learned how to blog, was given so many insights on how to market myself better, my pattern sales have increased, and I receive the encouragements I needed not only from the business coach, Pam Grice, but from all the other members of CBA.
If you are serious about jumping from mere hobbyist dabbling in the crochet business to full fledged crochet business CEO, you would be doing yourself an extreme disservice by not taking this course.

Growing a profitable business takes time. There are ups and downs, highs and lows, and everything in between.
Because of this and because of what we know about the psychology, I would be doing you a disservice by making it easy for you to quit whenever an obstacle arises and things get hard – whether in business or life.
James Wedmore says, “The transformation is in the transaction.” Meaning, that the transformation begins when a hard commitment and investment is made and because my main focus is to help you transform from hobby-business or struggling-business into a profitable business, the best I can do for you is to require you to make that commitment to yourself and get the ball rolling on creating the business you dream of having.

Hi! I’m Pam – the part-crochet designer, part-psychotherapist, and full-on-cheerleader behind the Crochetpreneur® blog where I combine my wisdom as a counselor and experience as a six-figure Etsy seller to help other makers find personal and financial freedom through artisan-entrepreneurship.
When I’m not coaching, counseling, or crocheting, I spend my days hanging out on the floor playing with the grandkids or traveling in our RV to visit all the National Parks and all the rollercoasters we can find.
I’m an introvert who loves people, an encourager, a solution-finder, and creative-thinker who spent more time reading encyclopedias and playing with yarn as a kid than was probably normal.
I’m grateful for the opportunity crochet has provided to craft an amazing life in the beautiful mountains of Colorado with my husband, Kevin, our grown kiddos, our two fur-babies, and our church family.
