Starting Your Craft Business

May 2, 2011

Getting started with your Craft Business is quite straightforward. You will need the following:

- A computer to be able to communicate with your customers and to communicate with your potential customers and to market your product

- A camera with which to photograph the items you intend selling.

- You will want a selection of items for your store’s inventory which you can photograph for your store to demonstrate what you are capable of.

- A start up business plan which should incorporate how much you want to make; the expenses you anticipate; Who your potential audience are; how you are going to market your business and how much you will be selling your products for!

Take a look at services like eBay.com which is an auction site however you can sell your handmade goods at a fixed price. You can create a store to showcase and sell your products. There is a membership fee which is paid monthly. However, with a built in shopping cart system and payment and fulfillment system that fee can easily be recouped as you sell your products.
