How I Got Over 5,000 People to Sign Up for My Quilt Along
Lessons you can use to plan and host your own successful online event
Have you ever thought about hosting a quilt along or creative online event—but weren’t sure where to start, how to promote it, or whether anyone would actually sign up? In this episode of the Craft to Career podcast, I’m sharing how I had over 5,000 people join my most recent quilt along, and how you can apply the same strategies to grow your own business.
From inspiration to execution, I’m pulling back the curtain on what worked, what I’d do differently next time, and the behind-the-scenes pieces that most people never see. Whether you’re in the quilting industry or a creative entrepreneur in another niche, this episode is packed with takeaways.
🎯 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- What inspired me to host the quilt along—and why timing matters
The planning process and tools I used to keep everything organized
Key promotion strategies that helped it grow (without ads!)
Behind-the-scenes details most people don’t realize go into a successful event
Why doing less, but doing it really well, is better than doing it all
What I’ll absolutely repeat—and what I’ll change next time
