Crafting as a Business

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

Ever wanted to start your own business but doesn't seem to know where to start? What I mean by this is to fully discover your heart's passion and browse through the inner core of your being. By doing this you will be able to come face to face with your own self and the things that you are good at and the things that you want to do in life. This article might be of help for those of you itching to earn a few extra bucks. First tip in creating a successful business is to choose a product/ service that is close to your heart.

Crafting as a business is an excellent business model for people who are on the artistic side- say people, who are very good at using their hands in making unique and quaint pieces. Crafters are small business people who are able to transform a hobby into a money making opportunity. Crafting for them is doing what they love to do and at the same time earning extra cash for it.

Upon visiting craft fairs we are welcomed by crafters and their craftworks using their heavenly talents. Craftworks can be purchased at low to high prices. The more intricate the details in the craft are, the pricier it is usually represented. These craftworks are carefully woven and done by their own meticulous hands which make some of them a pricey commodity.

At craft fairs, crafters and exhibitors usually pay what you call as Registration/ Exhibit Fee in order to show their goods or wares to the spectators. Crafters indeed earn a lot of revenue in doing the thing that they love to do. Imagine being able to have fun and earn at the same time. That would be really a fabulous way to live.

Catch a glimpse of your favorite crafts and their makers at a nearby craft fair in your neighborhood.
