Getting some attention online is often the first step when you’re starting up your business and creating a blog leads to connecting with a community of like-minded people. Amy of Greenjeans and Rena of Rare Device gave some wonderful advice on this at their talk during the American Craft Council’s “Blogging the Handmade.” Click here for Amy’s recap, tips, and links. And if you’re looking to get some print-on-paper limelight, you’ll want to put together a press kit with samples of your work. Gabrielle of unfold uk reviews some press kit samples  and offers quite a few good pointers.

I’m still contantly astounded by the wealth of information that’s floating around on cyberspace and at the generosity of so many people in sharing what they know so that the rest of us can put together the different pieces and make something of our own little businesses. Thank you to all of you who share so kindly!
