Earn Money Selling Craft Materials

There are many ways you can do this, for both new and second hand craft materials:

• Open a craft shop or stall - While it might be nice to 'have a shop', get to know your customers, be surrounded by all those gorgeous products, run classes etc, this is NOT an easy option - it is very demanding and you will probably work harder and longer than you ever have! But, then you just have to remind yourself that YOU are the boss and you are doing it FOR you.
• eBay - is is now extremely easy for anyone to have their own 'online shop' - sign up for an eBay Shop or sell your unwanted craft supplies by auction, for example, cards or papers you don't like and won't use. (I have even bought half empty pots of fabric paint because I wanted to try out a technique and not spend the money if it didn't work.

• An ecommerce website - more suited if you want to start a serious business selling craft materials, and if you have the ability or money to set it up, design and maintain it.

If you are considering any kind of website, please read this free ebook first!

• Create digital craft supplies - if you have the computer skills, you can make printable background papers, card kits, decoupage sheets, patterns etc. These can be sold as 'hard' products, either already printed or on CDs, or as 'e-goods' which are downloaded instantly as computer files.
