Practical and thorough advice

I have found these podcasts to be extremely helpful and practical as a craft seller looking to grow my business. These episodes make navigating things such as social media, marketing, networking, and adequate use of technology to promote business seem less daunting. The topics are very clear, concise, and organized with each episode. The host does a great job of thoroughly explaining the nuances of growing a successful craft business that comes from their own personal experience. I highly recommend this podcast for artisans and craft sellers.
