This was less of a 'how-to' guide and more of just an encyclopedia of things you should know to turn your crafting into a business. If you're expecting a step-by-step guide through the process, this isn't really it. This is more a "this is all of the things you probably should know something about but we aren't going to spend a heck of a lot of time on any one of them" kind of book.

This is a good book to help get you started in a craft business. Although there is not much about online selling, some of the tips, ideas, and inspirations are helpful in taking the plunge into selling your crafts.
