Sam Alberts - building and pivoting a crafting business
Listen now
Description
Sam Alberts was one of my very first podcast guests - see Episode #4. Now she's back to give us an update on her Quilting Curve Studio. Sam's been (of course!) quilting, lo, these many months. But also, she's made significant pivots in her business. She was finding that      a) there are only so many hours a body can quilt, and that translates into a ceiling on income      b) she has a wealth of experience to share with other quilters who are earlier in their journey      c) she missed the companionship of other quilters So! Sam's quilting has entered the digital world. She's launched a YouTube channel, as well as several on-demand courses, and also been traveling to local and national quilt shows. Listen in as Sam lets us see behind the shiny bits - the new skills that have to be learned (video editing!)...the prioritizing that takes place (fewer customer quilts)...and ultimately the reward of seeing her quilting business grow, and her students flourish.
