It’s here, it’s finally book launch day! Why did I write a workbook anyway? The absolute most frequently asked question I get is “Can you tell me how to start a business with my Silhouette Cameo or Cricut?” Nearly every day, I get a different variation of this question and it always baffles me. My online existence on Cutting for Business is writing articles to help crafters start and grow their own successful businesses. However, not everyone likes the blog format; while others are just on information overload with so many topics on Cutting for Business. I realized that readers wanted step-by-step instructions on what they needed to do to start their business – available in order and in front of them. In Diving In: 30 Days to Your Silhouette Business and Diving In: 30 Days to Your Cricut Business, I take you through a journey to start your business from setting goals to finding your niche, to social media and selling on Etsy – and everything in between.

More Details
- A 30 day actionable plan to get your business started.
- Neither Diving In: 30 Days to Your Silhouette Business or Diving In: 30 Days to Your Cricut Business offer any project tutorials. You will need to know how to make the products you want to sell.
- This workbook should not be read cover-to-cover. Instead, each day (1-30) is designed to be completed on separate days. Many days have tasks to complete before moving on to the next day.
- Diving In: 30 Days to Your Silhouette Business and Diving In: 30 Days to Your Cricut Business are meant for the beginning seller or the crafter who wants to start selling their Silhouette or Cricut made products. If you are already selling online, Diving Deeper: 30 Days to Grow Your Silhouette Business and Diving Deeper: 30 Days to Grow Your Cricut Business are now available.
- If you need help or have questions, I’m just a click away and my contact information is listed in the workbook.

OK, I dove in, and I did not even wait for an hour after eating!
Hahaha, it’ll be okay – you’ll jump out with a profitable business!
Is there a table of contents available to see before purchase? I started selling in July but struggle with really knowing what to do. I am not selling online other than my Facebook page. I am just wondering if this book will help me or wait for the second book in February? Thanks!
Hello! There isn’t a table of contents since it is an interactive workbook. It opens with goal setting and naming your business, then moves to social media and selling online. If you are already selling, Diving Deeper: 30 Days to Grow Your Business will probably be more helpful.
Thank you very much. I may still get this one just because I feel like I am struggling and need all the help I can get. I have been reading your blog daily since I found it and you have been very helpful!
Thanks again!
Laura, I hate to hear that you are struggling. Shoot me an email with what’s going on and links to where you are selling and your social media accounts and I will see if I can come up with any suggestions for you. Christine (christine@cuttingforbusiness.com)
Thank you Christine, I will do that.
I’ll watch for your email!
Hi Christine!
I just ordered and received my copy-can’t wait to dive in!
You are so generous on your blog with tips and tutorials.
Thank you so much!
Kim
Awesome Kim! I can’t wait to watch your business grow! Christine
Which one do you suggest if I have an Expert 24 cutter and not a cricut or silhouette?
Hi April! Either would be fine. The information can be applied to any business, it’s just which name you prefer to read. Happy selling, Christine
Hi Christine, I was interested in “Diving In” for Cricut, but I am not seeing an option to purchase the hard copy. Is it only available as a download? Thanks!
Hi Cheryl! Correct, it is only available as a download. Christine
Christine,
Is there a way to buy both books as a bundle? I am sorry if I am missing it.
Thanks
Hi Tami, Yes, just place two orders if you don’t see it. Thanks! Christine
I must be missing it as a bundle. Is it possible for you to post the link for the bundle pack for both books. Thank you!
Tami, Just add both books to your cart at the same time or place two seperate orders. There’s no official “bundle”. Thanks!
I purchased the digital copy for Cricut and an email was sent to me for the download, however, when I click on the link it gives me an error message stating that the page does not exist.
Hello! Feel free to send an email to me at christine@cuttingforbusiness.com. I do see you’ve downloaded it once already.
Looks helpful however I wish it covered info on tax IDs, becoming a registered business, LLC or sole proprietor, and tax info. This is where I’m stumped
Hi Heidi! I can’t possibly cover all the tax ID info or becoming a registered business in the book as it varies greatly from state to state and even county to county. Feel free to email me at christine@cuttingforbusiness.com for help, along with your location. Have a great weekend!
How many pages is the Diving In- 3o days to cricut business?
Hello! 52.
Hi Christine,
I bought the Diving In for the Silhouette, but I own a Cricut (my bad). I can still benefit from this issue even though I don’t own one?
Yes, the two editions are the same.
OK, I got my Silhouette Cameo and am practicing on it. It seems very overwhelming but I am determined to do this. I have always wanted to have a craft shop, but life interrupted and now is my time. I will be ordering your books to help me along. Your blogs are helpful and I hope I can successfully use the information.
Great attitude, Sharon! Thanks for stopping in the blog!
Hi Christine,
I bought your book and have been going through it. I have my name, tax ID, I started a Facebook page and tried Etsy. I am working on a Web page, not published yet, it is so confusing. I have done 2 craft fairs. Although I didn’t sell much, I did use the opportunity to see what I liked in other set up displays etc. My items seem to be different from what others have, but there are some that are similar but not so much. I have to admit I’m a bit disappointed, but I guess I need time. I don’t know what I’m missing. Do I keep plugging along? I love creating things. I’m anxious for people to know I do this and can order.
Thanks Sharon
Hi Sharon! That’s great that you are making items that are different from others! Everything takes time to build. Without seeing your shop or social media pages, I can’t say what the issue may be. But, here’s things to check: 1) Good SEO in titles, tags, and description. 2) Bright, crisp photos. 3) Posting daily to Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Hope those help!
I just purchased this but realized right away my old email account tthat I no longer have access to was the one linked to my paypal account. I changed it in Paypal to my working email but I’m worried the ebook got emailed to that old email. What can I do?!
Feel free to reach out by email.
how many pages is the ebook ?
Around 65 depending which version you buy. Thanks!
Do you have a bundle for the Silhouette books?
Hello! I do not. Thanks!
Hi, love your posts! Want to order the book, but I am in Canada and a lot of things I have seen are specific to the U.S.?
Hello! Thank you! No, the books are not US specific.
Hi Christine!
I just bought the ebook but I do not see anywhere to download it nor have I received an email with any information. How long does it typically take to receive it? Thanks! I’m eager to get started :)!
Hello! Ebooks are sent automatically and immediately after purchase to the email address registered with Paypal.
I’m not seeing a price for your book on starting a Cricut business. When I click on it, it just takes me to PayPal.
Current price: $20. Thanks!
Hello,
I purchased a ebook through PayPal and never received a link to down load or view it.
Feel free to email – I don’t like posting personal information on the public comments. I do believe you are on the list of bounced orders. Thanks!
Hey Christine
I’m from Belgium, I really like to read your book.
Unfortunately I’m desperately searching for wholesale distributors in Europe or somewhere else. I’m searching for almost a year now. Also I want to work with drop shipping for the cameo itself. Can you help me with this?
With best regards
Kimberley
Hello! You would need to reach out to Silhouette Europe for distributor information.
Thanks Christine, I will do this
I’ve had my silhouette cameo since Christmas and i am looking for help with learning how to use it. I need a silhouette cameo for dummies….lol. Do you have anything to help me understand what all i need to do to get started using it etc.?
No, I do not teach how to use the Silhouette Cameo – I focus on experienced users who are looking to make money. Here’s a few book reviews of instructional books: https://cuttingforbusiness.com/2016/02/08/book-review-crafty-cuttings-the-plotters-compendium-silhouette-cameo/ or this post: https://cuttingforbusiness.com/2016/01/18/book-review-use-silhouette-ebook-craft-e-corner/, or this one: https://cuttingforbusiness.com/2015/12/02/book-review-ultimate-silhouette-guide-school/.
Just purchased this e-book and cannot wait to get started. I originally bought my Silhouette to put vinyl on wood projects my fiancé and I make, but now do a lot of decals for co-workers. I see the potential for some extra income to pay down bills and maybe save up for family vacations! I do intend to only do one section a day so I can absorb all of the information and really do this right. Thanks for being such a great resource!
My pleasure!
Is the ebook still available? When I try to purchase it says their was a problem.
Yes, it is. Perhaps refresh the page to try again?
What is the cost of the digital books?
$20
I purchased the electronic version assuming I’d be able to print it but I am not able to make that work so I can’t really use the book since I’m unable to write in it. Can I receive a PDF so I can print it?
Hello! Electronic books are already sent in PDF format. Thanks!
