This is done by a number of
people we know, some do it as a hobby that pays for
itself, some do it as a more concentrated
business.
One woman holds craft fairs
in her home each year. She works on products all
year, then holds a Christmas craft fair in
November. She also markets her crafts at other
events.
Many people market crafts
online, or through craft stores. Usually it begins
with finding something that sells well, that you
can afford to make and price at a
profit.
Crafting takes in a wide
range of artistic skills, and there are crafts that
can be done by just about anyone. Some are marketed
as arts rather than crafts. Investment is dependent
on type of craft. Most crafts can be done in a
single room. Takes knowledge of what is popular,
because trendy crafts sell, others do
not.
You can also set up an online
shop, but it takes good marketing to be able to
compete. You also need excellent photos so your
buyers know that the quality is good.
