Over the past few years, the way we consume media and stay updated on our favorite craft-related sites and companies has changed dramatically. Instead of commenting on blog posts, the conversation has moved off-site: we’re interacting with the community more than ever, but now we’re doing it by tweeting, pinning, posting on Instagram, and liking on Facebook.

With so many ways to connect with readers, customers, and fellow crafters, how do you make sure that you’re where your audience is? And, with so much information flying around, how do you keep your social sharing focussed, relevant, and useful without wasting your time? Join your hosts Barbara (@penguintrax) and Haley (@thezenofmaking) on Tuesday, March 5th from 2-3PM EST to talk about how social media has changed the crafting community and the business of crafting.

We’ll also have a great giveaway from the generous folks at The Shibaguyz, who have provided a set of books, including Moonstruck, their newest book of knitwear patterns, for one lucky Socialite to win during this month’s chat! (Titles include: Heady Affairs, And That’s A Wrap, Cool Weather Fashions, Crochet Ponchos, and Moonstruck.)

Has social media changed your crafting business? Bring your stories, questions, frustrations, and tips to the March 2013 Craft Social!
