The one-liner
A Skool crochet community with a beginner course and a VIP track on selling your makes.
What they actually sell
Crochet Bake Shop with Kakes, run by Vanessa Smith, lives on Skool. Its public pitch: "Learn crochet or enhance your skills." A free tier sits at the front door, with Premium and VIP upgrades above it. Vanessa Smith, known here as Kakes, keeps the free level simple: tips, videos, resources, daily chat and community lives. Premium unlocks the Crochet for Beginners course and the pattern vault. VIP adds The Ins and Outs of a crochet business, covering creativity, what to sell and where, and passive income, plus a resource vault on affiliate programmes, weekly co-working and training review, coaching and Q&A calls, and social media basics drawn from ten years of experience. Inside sit 4 courses. A formal money-back promise is not spelled out on the about page.
Who pays and why
Crocheters of all levels who want help, company and patterns. Some want to turn the hobby into income without years of guesswork. They join for a beginner course, pattern vault access and, at VIP, a crochet business course.
Where the members come from
The Skool lander and Vanessa Smith's own teaching appear to be the main acquisition path. Public social links are thin on the about page, so growth reads as community-led rather than a giant media brand. Exact follower counts stay off the about page.
What's holding it back
Three tiers with very different promises, from learning a stitch to running a business, can confuse a buyer. The page also gives no examples of members who now sell their work.
Steal this
Put a make-money track at the top of a hobby ladder, because a small share of hobbyists will pay far more to turn it into income.
Would this work in another niche?
Yes for knitting, candle making or any craft people sell at markets. Weak for hobbies with no resale market.
