Ready to turn your yarn stash into cash? If you want to start a crochet business or learn how to sell crochet online and at markets, this episode is your step-by-step guide.

I’m Marcy—a crochet designer and entrepreneur—and I’m breaking down exactly how to transition from hobbyist to business owner without the overwhelm. We cover the unglamorous but essential parts of running a profitable handmade business, from legal requirements to picking the right sales platform.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Crochet Business 101: Understanding taxes, licenses, and the legal side of selling.

  • Where to Sell: Comparing Etsy, personal websites, and craft fairs to find your best fit.

  • Getting Paid: How to handle sales tax and set up payments using tools like Square.

  • Marketing Essentials: Using Canva for branding and business cards that stand out.

Whether you want to launch a full-scale brand or just earn extra income with a crochet side hustle, this episode gives you the confidence to start selling your creations today. Grab your hook and let’s get down to business!
