How to Support KnittingHelp.com
KnittingHelp.com is a free online knitting resource. The videos, the forum: it's all free to access, enjoy and learn from. Occasionally we get asked by visitors "Is there anything we can do to support KnittingHelp.com?". So here's a few ways to say "Thank You Amy & Sheldon" and help to support our efforts:
1. Order From Our Advertisers
You may have noticed there are some ads here on KnittingHelp.com. We make a point to keep them discreet and not flashy, so perhaps you haven't noticed them. These ads allow us to keep this web site a free resource by ensuring our expenses are met.
Many of our advertisers track whether an order was placed from a KnittingHelp.com visitor. By clicking on our ads to get to these sponsors, and placing orders with them, you are directly supporting KnittingHelp.com and our valuable advertiser relationships. So thank you for supporting our sponsors--every order counts!
2. Become an Advertiser
If you are a yarn store or sell knitting related products, consider advertising with us. We offer low budget Stash ads as well as premier sponsorship opportunities on our video and forum pages. KnittingHelp.com is a very popular web site and an excellent advertising value. Please see our Advertise With Us page for more details.
We are also holding prize contests utilizing our ever growing social networking connections. These are one week contests encouraging folks to visit KnittingHelp.com and the contest sponsors and are extremely viral. They generate a buzz very quickly.
3. Help Spread the Word
If you have a blog or a web site, please add a link to KnittingHelp.com. We'll even make it easy for you by providing you with some super-fancy linking graphics on our Link to KH page.
You will also find on that page some KnittingHelp.com promo cards which you can print out and share. These cards are perfect for handing out at knitting groups and giving to your knitting friends. Also, consider dropping a stack off at your local yarn store. Very likely, the staff already refers customers to our web site. These cards make it easy and convenient for them to do so.
Also, you can follow KnittingHelp.com on Twitter and receive site updates, news, and behind the scenes tweets!
4. Order From Our Shop
We maintain a small shop here on KnittingHelp.com. What we stock varies depending upon the season, so you'll never know what you might find in there. Right now we are stocking the KnittingHelp.com Web Site CD. This is a two CD-Rom set containing all the videos from the web site, as well as 3 longer bonus project videos. You can read more here.
5. Drop a Tip in Our Tip Jar
It's a rare thing that someone simply gives us a donation, and it truly makes us warm and gushy inside to know you care so much about our website and our work. We appreciate donations very much!
We have a handy-dandy tip jar set up through Paypal:
