I am starting a new journey to help others learn to knit/crochet and increase their options by expanding what they know and improve their process.
Since January 2026, I would say recalibrating. I am building a youtube channel. Initially on January 1 my focus was sharing with people how they can pay once for a done for you system, create short form videos 3 times a day, post them on social media and YouTube to draw people into my email sequence awakening their dream lifestyle so they can do the same and help others get to their dream with 3 hour workdays, quitting their job and living the life they never could imagine. Other people doing this same thing are making multiple six figures a year so I know it can work for me and those crafters with a dream. . After doing this for 2 years and no sales I took a workshop on following your passion.
I LOVE creating knitted and crocheted items like hats. I have been knitting and crocheting for 60 years and have found a new niche. I joined a community which focuses on long form video on YouTube. I am learning to start with the topic, then create the thumbnail text and title to increase the likelihood of viewers to click on the video based on the “package” (Thumbnail and Title) and then watch the video.
I am currently creating a series where I teach them how to make a dishcloth with a basic stitch. Then I will offer 8 more stitches so they can make a dishtowel with those 8 squares.
Buying specialty yarns that make the projects SING can be expensive. typically crafters will use less expensive alternative yarn to create items. all the while yearning to make items with more expensive fiber.
How I will monetize is set up an Amazon affiliate account and suggest items they can buy. I will eventually swing back to the business where they can earn extra money to help them afford those expensive tools and yarn to make what they really want and be able to quit their job so they can knit/crochet more and do what makes their heart sing.
I know this is a LONG game but I am ready to improve the package and my how to videos showing people how to knit/crochet. As I do thiat my videos for the business will also improve making ti possible for people to start knitting/crocheting. This is not just for people who want to learn to knit/crochet, but also more advanced techniques like how to design items and find their rhythm.
