While getting ready for tomorrow’s How to Rock a Craft Show class, I surveyed a bunch of crafters and asked them for their craft show questions.

The most-oft asked question:

Do you make any money at it? How much? Did it REALLY help you quit your dayjob?

What percent of last year’s income came from craft shows? Could I have quit my dayjob without that income?

To figure it out, I added up all my sales both online and off of yarn + fiber + lessons. Then I added up my craft show sales. I divided my craft show sales by my total sales to get the percentage. (Note to the more-math-minded…did I do this right?)

I got .48
