Secrets To Making Money With Crafts

August 4, 2003 by Dane Carlson | 5 Comments

WAHM:

How hard can it really be? You like making crafts, people “tell” you they like what you make and that you should start your own business. So you decide, “What the heck, I’ll make a few bucks and try to sell my creations.”

Is it really that easy? Can just anyone make money in the crafting business? I had the privilege of interviewing crafting expert Barbara Brabec. She shared several tips that I hope makes you a bundle of money.

While people may start their crafting business out as a hobby, it can soon evolve into a money making operation. This isn’t always a smooth transition. So I asked Barbara what’s the best way to turn your hobby into a home business. She explains, “Change your attitude if you want to get serious about it. You need to decide you want to make money, and you need that money. The only people who can make a living in a crafts business are those who decide to get serious about money and profits.” So if you’ve been tinkering with the idea of actually selling your crafts, but haven’t really put your heart into it, now is the time to decide if you want to continue as a hobby or make it a business.

    Dane,

    I am also a crafter who started out just painting and making jewelry as a hobby. I saw the potential in making money on the internet and began selling my wares online and through Yahoo! Auctions.

    My philosophy is that you should always do what you love. The money will follow…

    I read this exact same article and it was listed as written by a woman named Liz – dunno who took who’s article, but I’m not a big fan of plagerism….

    I tried to make money by selling paintings. It did not work. So I tried another idea : selling poems, words, novels… It works!
    Some lovers asked me to write poems. I did it… not lot of money. Just enough to play 6/49.
    Mayve one day I will win the jackpot.

    Berta: It is Liz’s article. This is just a tiny portion of it. The rest is behind the link “WAHM” up at the top.
