How to Sell What You Make

 

Let’s get started:

 

Crafting Dream-Maker Questionnaire

Ø  How much time do I want to devote to [fill in the blank] ?

Ø  What kinds of items do I enjoy making the most?

Ø  What do I do best: design, teach, write instructions, or create items?

Ø  Who is likely to buy my items?

Ø  What are my financial, personal, and career goals?

 

Take some time to analyze your goals. It’s important to fine-tune your goals and to investigate the opportunities and the challenges.

How I started my journey into what I love to do

My journey started when I was very young, I always excelled in Arts n Crafts. Now, I get to make things, each day is a new discovery for myself.

I crochet, and also stitch. I do follow patterns with ease. And I also made a few of my own designs.

I also love to share my learning experiences, right now setting up here a month-long seminar with a really great subject, how to sell what you make. And I am getting to know new people that I hope we become good friends on Facebook!

I'll also write my thoughts, inspirations, and perhaps a few of my puppy pictures who help me, too.

Pretty soon, I will return to work as a school bus driver, but still find the time to create a great blog for my audience.  I really hope you get to read it, enjoy it, and learn from it.
