Questionnaire Response to a combination of questions #4, #5 and #6:

Do You Sell Your Work/Tutorials On Your Blog?
Do You Create Videos?
Do You Advertise?

(work/tutorials) No. I wish I could. I need to learn more about that.
(video) No– would like to but I don’t have the necessary technology.
(advertise) No, does it help?

(work/tutorials) Yes.
(video) Yes.
(advertise) Yes.

(work/tutorials) I don’t sell any of my work on my blog. Nope.
(video) Don’t have the time. (I have 2 boys, aged 4 ½ and 2 ½ - I say no more!) (advertise) No.

(work/tutorials) I am not selling on my blog, but I have my own website and there I sell my creations.
(video) No I don’t.
(advertise) No I don’t.

(work/tutorials) No.
(video) No.
(advertise) I link to companies but don’t advertise as such.

(work/tutorials) No. I don’t sell anything or charge for teaching, but I love to help anyone who asks for it.
(video) No.
(advertise) No.

(work/tutorials) No.
(video) No.
(advertise) No.

(work/tutorials) Yes, sometimes.
(video) No.
(advertise) No.

(work/tutorials) N/A
(video) N/A

(advertise) Do not.

(work/tutorials) I have an Etsy shop, but have only sold one item. Again, I don’t have enough confidence. I think that there are millions of crafters out there that can make beautiful things on their own, so why would anyone want to buy mine? (video) No.
(advertise) I have an FB page.

(work/tutorials) I have a link to my Etsy store on my blog where I sell some of my cards.
(video) No.
(advertise) I occasionally advertise things like blog hops and events for stamp companies.

(work/tutorials) I don’t sell anything on my blog. However I do have a few shops that do sell handcrafted items and they take a lot of my work.
(video) I have a few DVDs that I provide for local crafters in SA as well as I do a few workshops a month.
(advertise) No I don’t advertise. Mostly people know about me by word of mouth and since I had a shop and have been working in the industry a number of years, they know me. I also have been a guest on a few TV shows locally.

(work/tutorials) I don’t sell on my blog, but I sell on my website – only my work, no tutorials.
(video) No, I don’t know how to do that yet.
(advertise) I tried but it’s only costing me money and not generating work so I’m stopping.

(work/tutorials) I have used my blog to show people the kits I have for sale and have sold kits that way.
(video) I created a few videos, I would like a tripod before attempting this again, as my homemade “camera holder” crashed a few times.
(advertise) No. I think it’s a good idea tho.

(work/tutorials) No.
(video) I’m trying to learn – it’s tough.
(advertise) Nope,

(work/tutorials) No. Anything on my blog so far is free for anyone to try. All I ask is that they give me credit for anything that I created.
(video) Not for my crafting.
(advertise) No.

(work/tutorials) No, but I’ve thought about it.
(video) No, but I’ve thought about it.
(advertise) I have a Facebook page, but other than that, no.
