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.
