Hanna Onjea replied to the discussion 'Recipe-sharing venue'"Thanks to you both for the feedback.
I agree that trading and collaborating could be fun, and I'm more interested in fun and usefulness to hand-crafters than having it be a business.
Gumroad is interesting, I'm going to join to get…"
dM, CEO replied to the discussion 'Recipe-sharing venue'"Hanna,
Are you looking to have this be a business?
Or are you looking to have it be just for fun?
That's a critical decision to make up front so you can efficiently focus on your options for getting things started.
Gumroad is a brand new…"
IBN Member Donna DeRosa replied to the discussion 'Recipe-sharing venue'"Trading could be fun. And collaborating could be a nice social media experience. Go for it!"
Hanna Onjea replied to the discussion 'Recipe-sharing venue'"Thanks for the feedback Donna. What do you think about trading them? Or a site where people could collaborate and even create new recipes together?

IBN Member Donna DeRosa replied to the discussion 'Recipe-sharing venue'"Personally, I wouldn't pay for recipes online. There are so many you can find for free. And I share my own for free on my blog."
Hanna Onjea replied to the discussion 'We're not competitors here, we're supporters and potential joint venture partners!'"This is exactly the sort of thing I'd like to see happen more, that is, collaboration among those of us creating body care and fragrance products by hand.
I'm specifically looking to be able to share perfume and aromatherapy recipes…"

Hi Everyone,I have this nagging (lovingly nagging) idea to create a website venue where people could sell their recipes for bath and body products (anywhere from soaps and lotions to natural perfumes and aromatherapy blends). I'm trying to think about how it might work and would love feedback on the following:1. Does this sound like something you would use, as either a seller, buyer or both?2. Do you think it would make more sense for the site to sell the e-recipe and then transfer the funds…See More
Hanna Onjea replied to the discussion 'Unauthorized Website'"Sounds like you solved your problem, but I would say it's a good idea in general to put a copyright on the bottom of your website, I've seen this often on other's sites and we plan to put one on ours as soon as we launch. You…"
Hanna Onjea replied to the discussion 'Scale'"I have started making perfume, and was recommended to purchase a scale at oldwillknottscales.com, since they have such a wide variety. I got one that goes down to the tenth of a gram, which is great when you're adding essential oils a…"
Hanna Onjea replied to the discussion 'Scam Alert -- Always Be On The LookOut!'"Hi dM, I'm glad you found the tips helpful - I had Billy review them and he said that everything I wrote was accurate. When I told him that the above example you posted was from a contact form, he was asking whether the form has a captcha…"
Hanna Onjea replied to the discussion 'Scam Alert -- Always Be On The LookOut!'"If you use g-mail you can set up a filter to immediately trash e-mails from a specified address - especially helpful if you get multiple messages from the same spammer.
Also, spammers often use "robots" to "crawl"…"

Hanna Onjea commented on dM, CEO's page INDIE Protégé Network"I really enjoyed the podcast dM, it has really helped me think about the key issues to focus on. Especially helpful was when you mentioned that one of the biggest mistakes newbies make is to try to do everything, since that is exactly what I…"
Hanna Onjea replied to the discussion 'Messy Beeswax and lotion bar issues - help!'"Thanks so much Joan for all your suggestions - I agree, the silicone molds would probably be the best for lotion bars - now I just need to find one that will be the right shape. Can you recommend a good supplier for them? Until then I…"
