craftgrrlThis may come off nasty but I'd like to know if I'm alone on this...I'll probably regret posting this.
There seems to be a lot of posts recently of the "How much do I price my stuff for sales?' "Is this a good price for my goods?" (which used to not be allowed and seems to be allowed again) "I want to sell something like this, how do I make it?" "How do I do such-and-such because someone is paying me to do it..." and other questions that are not as much about crafts but about the buisness of selling and marketing crafts.
Now, I want to help out a crafter as much as the next person, I enjoy giving feedback, but I'm not that interested in helping people make money. This is a high traffic community and I feel like many of the questions could be figured out with some entrepreneurial research and googling and trial and error (skills needed if you plan to sell on any scale) and the other half (like questions about setting up stores, hosting images) might be better served by a community about craft sales (![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
crafty_bizness comes to mind, there must be more ).
Am I just being unsupportive? Should I just skim more and read less? Or is this something other people would like the mods to think about?
