Crochetville is a busy and popular hub of crochet activity! It is a place where businesses can reach thousands of potential customers with little more than a click of the mouse. However, we do allow all members to do some limited free advertising, which is described below.

Business owners taking advantage of our free advertising may promote their businesses only as described here. You may not mention/promote/advertise your business in any other ways in posts, PMs (private messages), or emails sent through the forum. This includes starting threads in Show and Tell about items you're selling in your business.

If you're looking for more than our free advertising offers, we have easy, innovative, and very affordable paid advertising solutions. Please visit our Advertise on Crochetville page to find out more.

By advertising at Crochetville, free or paid, you agree to our advertising policies.

Now, on to the details of our freebies...

Links
If your business is crochet, fiber, or craft related, you may include a text-only link to your business in the following places:

1. Your Signature: Your business should be a single text link. Bold and colored text may be used.
2. Your User Profile: You may use your business link as your Home Page URL.

If you have another type of business (other than crochet, fiber, or craft related) you feel would be appropriate for your Crochetville signature, please contact us for approval prior to including the link in your signature. Please, no home parties (such as Tupperware, Avon, Pampered Chef, etc.), affiliate programs (such as Amazon Affiliates, etc.), or similar. Also no other multilevel marketing nor any pyramid schemes.

All sites must be appropriate for Crochetville community standards. Crochetville LLC shall be the sole arbiter of what is and is not within community standards. Links may be removed at the sole discretion of Crochetville LLC. If your link is removed, you will be notified.

Pattern Testers
Pattern designers may seek pattern testers in the Seeking Pattern Testers forum. Use that forum only for finding pattern testers, not for promoting your pattern for sale after it has been tested.

Accepting Submissions
Publishers or authors may post notices that they are accepting submissions for an upcoming book or other publication in the Accepting Submissions forum. Use that forum only for accepting submissions notices, not for promoting your book after it has been published.

Destashing
We have a For Sale/Trade/Free forum available to those who have achieved Villager membership level. This forum is for non-business use only. If you have a few things you’d like to find a new home for, you may list them here. You may include links to eBay auctions, as long as it’s a personal auction and you are not running an eBay business.
