That’s greater than different venues, however hey, the extra individuals who see it the higher, proper? They appear to focus on polymer clay, fiber, and jewellery, however they’ve a bit for “different” as properly.
- You Can Make This – This can be a newer on-line hub for purchasing craft tutorials. You do have to use to have the ability to promote, and so they take 50% of the fee. This appears extraordinarily excessive, however once more, it’s one other venue and it’s nonetheless cash. You possibly can all the time improve the price of your tutorial to make it extra worthwhile.
