Good Morning all y'all.. Welcome to KosKraft, Issue 9.
This Group is for all those creative kossack artisans, plying away at their benches. If you make things, please join, and maybe give us a look at your work.
Today's issue will sort of be another Open Thread. I'm on the roads between NY and Boston, visiting my new grandson, and family back in Beantown.
I hope youse guys (note the NY influence there) will drop some pix into the comments.
Up for discussion this week might be the hows and howtos of your craft business. What forms of bookkeeping do you use? any open source record keeping? Are you a shoebox type of business, or some sort of super efficient file cabinet, duplicate, and triplicate sort of maniac?
Who is your preferred delivery provider? USPS....UPS...etc?
How do you advertise your work? Forums...Print media...just plain old new fashioned SEO work?
How about tax prep? ewwww, let's not go there....
You get the point, this week's issue is up to you.
Well, that's all for now..
All Kossack Artisans are welcome to join the group, just send me a PM.
In the meantime, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the KosKatalog. They do yeoman's work in there, and it's about at businesss close to supporting "local" as you can get on the inter tubes.
Another crafty place to hang around...
