The second graph illustrates the income from January to June 2020. The income is a mix of:
In December I had a freelance job that I got paid for in January and in March I sold yarn kits for the Spring Crochet Along. the other months I've mainly sold patterns.
This is not my salary. Some of it goes to paying taxes and other costs like website, domain, editing programs, transaction fees and so on. Right now I'm not paying myself anything. I'm investing every extra coin back into Garnknuten while I'm still side hustling as a teacher.
Tell me in the comments if you'd like me to share all the costs for running Garnknuten.

The third graph illustrates how the sessions on the website have grown over the last half year. There's always a pike when I host a crochet along or release a new pattern. How many sessions the website gets each month always depends on how much new content I make and how much I market it.

The forth graph illustrates the thing I'm most excited to share with you! My patterns sales over the last half year! I've been selling crochet patterns for about 3 years now and this is the first year I've started to see a clear growth in the sales for my patterns. I've sold 4 times more patterns this year compared to the two previous years (2017-2019). The sales increase probably depends on my growing email list and my new marketing strategy. This graph is giving me so much hope for increasing my sales and growing my business even more! You should see how much I've sold in September! (Stay tuned!)
I hope this will give you some courage or inspiration if you've been thinking about starting a creative business of your own. I'm cheering you on wherever you are! Thank you for reading!
