Welcome to the CraftyPod, a craft podcast all about making stuff. Click the âPlayâ button at the bottom of this post to listen! In this show: - An interview with Paul Overton, author of the Dudecraft blog. This conversation was inspired by this post. - Some thoughts on the difference between crafting for money and crafting for passion. - How does handmade work change when it's made solely for profit? - What happens when independent craft businesses start flooding the online community with marketing messages? - What does it mean when a handmade item has "mojo?" Links: - Dudecraft is well worth reading - be sure and check it out! - Paul recommended Hammermakrs as an example of a blog that offers both value and commerce. - We also talked a bit about Gary Vaynerchuk, who absolutely nails the idea of offering value to your audience. I recommend this short interview as a quick way to get familiar with his philosophies. - Paul is also a big fan of Meet Me At Mikes. - Another blog Paul mentioned: Aprons and Hammers. (Man! Those really ARE amazing shoes!) - ...And we also went a little fangirl (and boy) on Jeff Rudell .
