Welcome back to Simply Hooked: A Crochet Podcast! In Part 7 of my 8-part mini-series on scaling a crochet business, I’m pulling back the curtain on the tools and systems that keep my creative business moving forward—while juggling a full-time job, a toddler, and a bustling household. From Canva and Trello to Shopify, Mailchimp, and even ChatGPT, I’m sharing the platforms and processes I rely on daily to stay organized, show up consistently, and bring my ideas to life without burning out.
Whether you're just starting out or scaling your own handmade biz, this episode is full of time-saving tips and real-life hacks for working in pockets of time, keeping things simple, and building a business that fits your life. I also share how I batch content, record on the go, manage product shipping, and repurpose every ounce of creative energy. Let’s streamline your business so you can focus more on what you love—creating!
For a deeper dive into each of these lessons, check out my new book, Hooked on Growth, which goes into much more detail on scaling!
