Spread word of your quilting and fabric art success. Don’t keep it hidden. You can do this without seeming egotistical…simply let others know wherever appropriate.
Telling others about our successes and accomplishments often is difficult for some of us because we come from the generation where Mother said, “Don’t toot your own horn. People will think you’re bragging. ”
However, if you wait solely for others to discover what you’re doing, the world won’t
hear about your or your quilting. You can share, as I call it, without seeming “pushy.” You can announce over forums and round-ups of success stories, as well as doing the traditional promotions.
You might participate in a “success” post, such as the one Yvonne Russell, at Grow Your Writing Business has initiated, Marvelous Mini Milestones & Super Successes – September 2007. Yvonne has begun doing this on a monthly basis.
(She even mentioned the guest post I wrote for Grow Your Writing Business about blog tours, Virtual Blog Tours – The Latest Innovation for Promoting Your Writing. Thanks, Yvonne, for “tooting” my horn! Mother would be pleased that I hadn’t blown my own.)
Of course, the successes mentioned on Yvonne’s blog relate mainly to writing and publishing success, whether it’s print or online. However, even if you aren’t a writer, you can apply many of the techniques mentioned to your quilting.
Why don’t you share your business successes here? We can initate a monthly report of quilting milestones and success stories.
