Video View

Having my face on video on the world wide web is something I really had to think about.  I still feel a little conscious of being on the Internet, showing my face and products but how else am I supposed to get out there!
I thought about doing tutorials but I realise that to sit down and teach is a lot of work even if you are using free patterns.  it's really difficult to take the time out and teach people.  Some do it for the love of crochet and others do it because they know they can get many views by teaching people.  I really don't know if I want to go that route! It is so time consuming and how many views converts to sales is my questions because at the end of the day, I'm looking at the business aspect of things. 
The goal of a business to make a profit and if I'm busy teaching people to make their own profit then how do I get something out of it.  I like teaching, don't get me wrong but there are plenty of persons teaching people on the internet and I really am not about to be one of them.  At least, not at this stage.  I may change my mind and realise that all I have said so far is irrelevant and just do it anyway. 
 I am also thinking of branching out of crochet and doing other things especially in the sales area.  So my shop may seem like a bunch of different things but I like to explore and try new things.
In my news section that videos are coming soon so please stay tuned to them! 

See ya! :)

Adsense or adnonsense? Advertising ... the Ugly Story

If you have visited my blog, you would have seen ads displayed on my page! Well imagine my surprise, when Google decides to send me an email about my adsense account.  I appealed and apparently lost.  I guess I wouldn't make a good lawyer! I found it to be foolishness.  I decided to shop around and see other ad offerings and found one.  Well imagine my next surprise when they apparently don't want me coz I'm not a "Top level website" Hmm!  So I'm going to say that if I ever become a "Top level website" or get a huge following, none of them can display anything on my blog! Though this blog is a google blog, I really don't care! 
My next thing is if you want to advertise on my site, let me know and let me show these people that I don't need them to make 1c on a click.  Just ridiculous!!! 

Contact me with your ad information etc and I will see what I can do!


See ya! :)

Get Your Yarn Here!

I have decided to be a yarn seller! Hopefully, I can supplement my income by selling yarn.  Thinking of expanding but not sure as yet! So please visit: www.bajanstylecrochet.yarnshopping.com for yarn from Turkey.  These types of yarn are usually soft and great to crochet with.  It's not as rough as other types of yarn and makes the products you are creating very luxurious.  If you doubt me, then order from my yarn store and see for yourself.  Shipping is a bit high but worth it with the amount you get for the cheap prices. You will not be sorry!

Check out the site and share with your friends.

See ya!

Imagine that!

I was fighting so hard with whether to leave crochet for a while and come back to it or leave it for good.  When I felt I had decided to leave it at least for a while, slowly transitioning to leave it for good, I received an order for 2 items.  Now this may not be a large order and paying a lot of money but something sure does help! I was so surprised and I felt like picking myself back up and trying to do a good job for the customer.  It was amazing to me how in your dark hours, there is a glimmer of light and hope! 
Now I'm not sure what I'm going to do but even though I feel like giving up, I still have a little bit of fight within me.  I have a few plans this year and I hope I can get the ideas going and the riches flowing. lol It's tough to stay positive and keep going but I guess I'm getting a nudge in that area. 

So please stay tuned to this blog for more updates. 

See ya! :)
