Welcome to Part 1 of the Scaling Your Crochet Business Mini-Series on Simply Hooked: A Crochet Podcast! I’m your host, Marcy—a crochet designer, mom, and creative entrepreneur—and in this 8-part series, I’m sharing the biggest lessons I’ve learned while scaling my crochet business.
In this first episode, we’re diving into a game-changing strategy: multiple revenue streams. When I first started, I thought selling on Etsy was enough. But I quickly discovered that relying on a single income source is risky—and diversifying is the key to long-term growth and stability.
Inside this episode, I share:
✅ The 11 revenue streams currently fueling my crochet business
✅ 3 additional streams I’m preparing to launch soon
✅ Revenue ideas I haven’t pursued yet—but may in the future
✅ Why diversifying income is essential for handmade and crochet entrepreneurs
This episode is packed with real-world strategies and inspiration to help you brainstorm new ways to generate income, build stability, and scale your creative business.
🚀 Challenge of the Week: Brainstorm 2–3 new revenue streams you could add to your crochet or handmade business.
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!
