Have a Hobby that you thought about selling?Such as arts and crafts?

Many of us today have hobbies and a creative hand to do arts and crafts. Who ever said you couldn't profit from your talent? Certainly not me. I know first hand how you can earn from your hobby, such as jewelry making, flip flop designing and painting clothes and bags.


Make sure though that your love for your hobby doesn't cause stress in your life because then it won't be fun anymore. You should decide in how big you would like to expand your arts and craft business. When you make the amount of products that you would like to sell, put a price on it and begin to market.

If you are doing an online store, you can begin by taking photos of your crafts. There are so many free

ecommerce sites that you can build. After loading up your items to your online store, educate yourself so that you can start marketing on the internet. You can begin with emailing your friends and family your link and tell them to email it to their friends and family. Next thing you would want to do is get listed with the search engines and maybe start a blog directing them to your site.

Maybe you are more of a hands on person. Then you will definitely like the flea markets at your local town. Renting a booth is very inexpensive,sometimes only

$20-$30.00 a day. You can even make up flyers and give them out to your neighbors, friends, church members, PTA moms and anyone else you know. You can set up a table in front of a store. Ask the store owner. As long as it doesn't conflict with what they are selling.

A very important fact I do not want to leave out.. Whatever form of sales you decide to do for your business, it all starts with customer service. Be good to your customers and your customers will be good to you.



Having a business in which you can still do your hobby and earn, is a great way to stay happy in what you do for a living.
