Ways To Get Noticed!

So, you've started sewing, you really love it, and you've decided that this is what you want to do.

Now it's time to get yourself noticed. Start a Facebook page for your work, and get everyone you possibly can to share the page with their friends. Facebook even gives you statistics for who is looking at your page, where they are from and all kinds of useful other information. It also gives you a really good idea on which areas of your work people really like and which are less popular by giving you graphs to show just how popular posts and photos are.

Approach a local sewing school and see if you can help during one of their classes, or set up your own. Offering a service is a good way to not only put your skills to good use, but increase the word of mouth for you and your work! It can be as easy as offering to help a local sewing club out or even renting a village hall and setting up your own club or classes. Make sure it is well advertised if you do your own public classes.

Get yourself noticed by posting on forums for sewing and for your particular theme (for example, home ware) to increase the traffic flow onto your website/facebook. Ask friends who also have business or 'Like' pages to give you a quick mention. Also make sure to cross reference, such as mentioning your blog on Facebook. There is nothing wrong with a little self-promotion!
