Marketing Over Coffee has made it easy for you to subscribe to their favorite blogs via Google Reader, and if you’re serious about your craft business, this is the stuff you should be consuming. Yes, a lot of it is written with large business in mind, but there are so many mom-and-pop takeaways that it’s absolutely worth your time.

If you use Google Reader, follow the steps below. If not, sign up. (And subscribe to the Modern Homemaker while you’re at it!)

Download the MoC OPML file here.

If it doesn’t automatically download, click File > Save Page As in your browser, and select the file type XML.

(The rest of these directions are from the Marketing Over Coffee newsletter, and if you don’t subscribe, you should do that, too!)

In Google Reader,

Step 1: Go to settings.

Step 2. Click on Import/Export.

Step 3. Click Choose file. When the file box opens up, choose the OPML file you downloaded just above.

Step 4. Click Upload.

Step 5. You’ll know if you were successful if you see a big pile of blogs in your reader. If it looks good, click Back to Google Reader.

Step 6. Enjoy the blog goodness. If you already use Google Reader, this will add a bunch of folders below your existing ones. If you’re new to Google Reader, this will create a bunch of folders on different marketing topics that should provide you with tons of reading, insight, and knowledge.

Now you have lots of reading to do… Enjoy crafters!
