This is our last week for The State of Making: An Online Summit! It has been a phenomenal time and if you missed any of it, the replays are up... but only if you register! Make sure you don't miss the last two sessions, too.

With this summit, we are featuring the stories of maker and their years leading up to the summit. Today's post looks at the year for maker and #ahasmember Staci of Crafti Staci. She's learned a lot about niching, timing and listening to what the numbers say. Enjoy!

State of Making: Aftcra and Ecommerce

Today's guest post is from #ahasmember Erica at Aftcra, an online marketplace for handmade American goods. Aftcra is partnering with us to make our State of Making Summit possible and since we are reviewing the changes and trends that affected makers this year and will be affecting them, we thought we'd ask Aftrca how things look from where they sit.
