Craft Business Online in a Month

“Picture this… Your very own Successful Online Craft Store in JUST 4 Weeks…”

The video may need a little time to buffer…

In the next 7 minutes I’m going to show you how you can
open your own online craft store, list your first product for sale
and start selling your craft online

Does this sound like you

  • you need some extra cash
  • you’re a stay at home mum looking for some income but can’t go out and get a job
  • you love creating your crafts but have little or no idea on how to go about selling them
  • you’ve reached an age where it’s hard to find employment but you still have so much left to give
  • you already sell your craft in the offline world but would love to take your craft online

Let me say, I know how you feel.

My name is Michelle Frost.  And I was once where you are.

When I was starting out, just trying to find some way to bring more money in for my family… so my husband could stop working away from home and be a dad to our 5 young children. I remember feeling like a “deer in the headlights”, not knowing what to do next.

You see I wasn’t always making my living online and teaching people how they can too — you might be surprised to find out that I’d never even heard of ‘online marketing’ before 2004 (online marketing is how to sell stuff online).  That was when I went to my first How-To conference..

But I’m getting ahead of myself, this story actually begins when I had my 5th child (Sebastian), and I’ll admit it…

Back Then I Was A Stay At Home Mom

What can I say?  We had 5 children aged between 0 & 11, and the thought of me returning to full-time teaching, managing the house and kids just seemed impossible..  So I became a full-time mom (mum in Australia :-) ).  And for a while this was great.

However to make up for me not working and to keep paying our bills Simon (my husband) had to take work that had him flying all over the country (& some times overseas).  This meant that he was away from home a lot!

From outside our family, you would say our lives looked great!! – mom at home for the kids and dad make ‘good’ money to keep every thing going :-) We even sent the kids to private school..

AND WE WERE MISERABLE.

Simon missed the first steps AND the first words from our youngest – he was (and still is) devastated by that!   Then he was sent on a job that was supposed to be for only 6 weeks – well the weeks turned into months – we only saw him twice over a 4 month period..

At one stage the kids didn’t recognize him on one of his trips home (Simon had grown a beard!) – Some thing had to give!!

While Simon was working away from home for months on end, I started to research on the internet, looking for “opportunities” that I could work on at home.  All I needed to do was make a bit of extra money so that Simon could work on a less stressful job (that didn’t require him to travel) AND be a real dad to his 5 children..  Oh and it needed to be some thing I could do from home – with 5 kids, three under school age, my place was at home for them..

Sounds pretty easy, right?

Only needed to be an extra few hundred dollars a month to make it work!

I spent months getting excited about loads of seemingly ‘quick fixes’ – you know the ones?  They promise to help you make a million dollars before lunch AND you won’t need to work for more than 5 minutes!

I was getting very down hearted and desperate – I wanted my husband back…

Then in June 2004, a good friend of mine told me he was going to a conference all about starting an “Internet Marketing Business based on real hobbies”..  He emailed me the ‘sales letter’, it was really really long!  I poured over every word..

Finally it appeared I had found the answer – there was only one problem – it cost $1997 AND the conference was 3 states away (so I would have travel & accommodation expenses).

I actually read that conference sales letter 10 + times over 7 days trying to come up with a way to get there!

You see, although Simon was making good money, all it really did was keep us afloat, we certainly didn’t have a spare $3000+ to spend on some thing that may not give us a return..

Finally, I rang Simon (he was away, of course) and we discussed it, we tried to work out a way to make it possible..  He was all for working out how he could get home and be a dad!

To cut a long story short I managed to find the money – from our savings and using a small loan.  I just had a feeling that this time I was going to get life changing information that could really set my family up.

And boy am I glad I followed that gut feeling!

I went to that conference and unlike 90% of the other attendees I actually took action!  I did EXACTLY what I was told – maybe it was because I felt like I had my back to the wall!!

3 months after that conference I went to a second conference, this time I had a business online and was making money from that business..

My Quilting Profits book had been born!

After that I created and ran Creative Quilting and Quilting Weekly (with Chris Dahl) – I still operate those two websites.

Best of all – by 2006 Simon was able to come home (18 months later)..  Not only did he come home, he started working with me online, to grow our businesses.

And we haven’t looked back since.

Simon and I now work side by side and have done for over 4 years and best of all he gets to be a real dad. He even volunteers at the kids school all the time and plays in the same sporting teams as our teenagers – trying his best to embarrass them!

All the kids are at school now so we have moved our businesses into a “real office” instead of being at home. Plus the business has gone down many other paths we never envisaged it taking at the start.

For example during the last 2 years we have been helping local small businesses get online by creating websites for them and running seminars and workshops (my teaching degree is paying off)..

We have even won state and federal government grants to provide the community with much of this information.

Most surprisingly to me is that we have people coming to us all the time now asking if we can consult with them about their online marketing strategies & websites.  They want to (and do) pay us by the hour.

I can now make more money in a one hour consultation that I can teaching for one day!  Wow, things have turned around.

Wrestling with that decision to buy a ticket and go to that seminar, and finally taking that action (after struggling with the decision for 7 days) taught me one essential lesson:  You have to listen to your instinct and take action (some times this means taking a risk).

But enough about me. This is about you. And I want to help you do what you love and get paid for it.

Upfront I want you to know that I am a real person, doing real things. This is not one of those internet scams you see all over the place.

A Couple of Case Studies

Here is a note from the Pamper Party ladies, this was an unsolicited email that they sent after we had set up their website and helped them realise their dream of an online business that actually makes money..

— Begin Pampology Email —

Thank you so much Simon and Michelle.  Linda and I are just over the moon with our new website and with the number of consultants that have signed up from all over the country..  You really know what you are taking about – we now have a real business online that makes us money everyday!  We couldn’t have done it with out you..

Sincerely Raechel Roberts and Linda Roberts (directors of Pampology)

— End Pampology Email —

Now maybe you remember the video I did on hobby websites that make money online?  One of the websites featured there belongs to Chris Riley, he had been selling his beading kits to the local community for 2 years when he came to us, so we could create a website for him..  We talked to him about all the possibilities, including the fact that he could create a digital product related to the beading kits – the patterns and the business model lent themselves very well to becoming information products..   A few weeks after creating the Aussie Bead website and showing Chris how he could make an information product out of his beading kits, Chris called into the office to tell us some thing very exciting:-

The beading kits were selling from the website BUT more excitedly he had sold the digital version of his beading kits!  This had meant no packaging or posting and it all happened while he was asleep..  The possibilities of working online were starting to dawn on him & he was excited! ..

How cool was that? Chris came to us to get a website created and we helped him create a new product to sell on his website AND add to his bottom line..  A product that once created required no storage or packaging or postage and was in unlimited supply!  Sounds great, doesn’t it?  Well, in the Online Craft Business course we show you how you too can have a digital product to add to your product line :-)

Lets Dispel Some Myths Right Now

Myth #1 – CRAFT DOESN’T SELL ONLINE

FACT – Craft is selling online, just go have a look at Ebay and Etsy..  Or do a Google search for your craft and see how many sites come up that are already out there selling ‘craft’ like yours…  In fact most of the experts say that craft sales online are trending up right now!  People like you at home want to make a bit of extra cash by selling their craft online, its a great way to increase your families bottom line.
Myth #2 – I’VE TRIED IT AND IT DOESN’T WORK

FACT - Have you already dabbled online?  Put your craft into Ebay and not been able to sell it?  Does that mean you should give up?  I don’t think so..  You haven’t seen what I’m about to show you that will greatly improve your chances of success – All the Internet Marketing secrets I have learned over the last 8 years are included in Online Craft Profits course..

Myth #3 – I DON’T KNOW HOW TO PUT UP A WEBSITE

FACT – There are a thousand ways to skin a cat :-) Just like there are a thousand ways to get a website up..  BUT to make it really easy for you, I am including a website for a limited number of people who order the Online Craft Profits course this week..  A website that is personalised to you!

Myth #4 – THERE’S TOO MUCH COMPETITION

FACT – Yep, there is competition – if there wasn’t I would be very worried!  If there wasn’t competition for your craft online (or offline), then maybe there isn’t a market for your craft?  So when you see competition online in your area, you should rejoice!  The techniques I’ll show you in the Online Craft Profits course will help you dominate your market and beat your competition.

How The Online Craft Business Course

Will Work For You…

There are 4 modules that will step you through research, setting up your website, using your website, marketing your website online, using pay per click services, social media marketing, video, testing and tracking and lots more.

So How Much Is This Training Going To Cost?

That’s always the hard part..  how do I put a price on being able to help crafts people get their businesses online and possibly change their lives?

The information in the course comes from years of trial and error – trial and error you won’t have to go through!

We currently make basic websites like the ones you see above, starting at $2250. Check out our Web design site: SMiK Webdesign

Also we have been paid up to $20,000 to provide small business online marketing seminars and our hourly consultation rate is between $125 – $250..

This course has taken 6 weeks of hard work to put together and there will be a lot more time put into every website we upload for you…

A friend of mine who runs many successful online businesses told me that $997 would be a fair price – after all we are basically giving away a business website & thousands of dollars worth of marketing training..

However, after talking to Simon about it and basically pleading with him to work for you for almost nothing :-) We have decided that $247 (USD) will be the price during the 1st week.

BREAKING NEWS - we are also offering a payment plan – that’s how serious we are about getting as many of our craft friends online making some money!  You’ll see the payment plan at the bottom of this page ;-)
