13: Comparing the Top 5 Platforms for Selling Knit & Crochet Patterns
Show Notes

There are several platforms available for selling your knit or crochet patterns, but how do you know which one is the best fit for you? Your time is limited and it's not efficient to be uploading all of your patterns to all of the locations. I encourage you to just start with 1-2 platforms to save yourself from overwhelm, fatigue, and wasting your time. The truth is, not all of the platforms will generate the same revenue for you.

In this episode, I talk about the pros, cons, and fee structures of the top five platforms that knit and crochet pattern designers are using (Ravelry, Payhip, Etsy, LoveCrafts, and Ribblr), plus a bonus bit about selling on your own website. Ultimately, the decision is yours, but I'm giving you the information to make an informed decision without having to do loads of research.

If seeing the written out version works better for you, you can find my blog post here, but the fees for most of the platforms have changed since writing the blog post.
