Craft Inc. Book Review

Recently, I’ve had several requests for advice on getting started and then running a business.  I tell everyone the same exact thing - READ.  Read everything and much as you possibly can...  about business and crafting.  

The one set of books that are an excellent place to start, if you are in a creative hobby  business, is Craft Inc. and Craft Inc. Business Planner.


Craft Inc., completely outlines how to turn your creativity into a business cash. Whether it be a part-time thing on Etsy or an all out full-time 24/7 website store.


Craft Inc. Business Planner, organzies the essentials of your business. Be it - shows, marketing, sales or bookkeeping.  With great worksheet to help you each step of the way.  

Not only does Meg Mateo Ilasco, explain some of the tricky things like pricing or naming your business.  But she also has interviews with artists just like you - who started their business with less than $500 for start up and what they did to become successfull.


And you’ll learn a few tricks along the way too:


  • good product photography
  • customer service
  • create a unique product
  • presentation
