By Chuck Smith

The Purpose of This eBook:According to the author, Chuck Smith, “ How to Start Your Own Craft Businessis the result of years of real-world experience and lots of time spent in the School of Hard Knocks. When you purchase, you get a comprehensive guide to starting, opening, running, and marketing your craft business. Other craft business books on the market don't offer the depth of experience that has gone into…” this eBook.

About The Author: Chuck writes, “I have over 17 years of experience in marketing and business management. To me, there is nothing as important as being able to bring customers into your new business in the most effective, least expensive, manner. This business guide offers my expertise in the top marketing methods for a new craft business, including Internet marketing and selling your crafts on eBay.”

Income Potential: No specific amount is listed. The author does indicate that the craft business can provide both a part time and eventually a full time living.

Start-up Investment: Low to moderate. The amount of start up expenses depends solely on how you decide to acquire then market the craft items. If you initially sell the crafts online the marketing costs are almost zero. If you jump right into creating a booth to display your inventory at a Fair you will need money for that booth, the location rent, travel expenses, etc. Also if you stock up with items on consignment or credit you will need less start-up capital then if you make your own crafts or pay up front for finished goods. This eBook does a good job of pointing out these options so that you can map out a course that fits your budget.

Educational and Experience Requirements: A love and understanding for arts and crafts would be important. General business management and marketing experience would be helpful but really not necessary because this eBook is designed with the beginner in mind.

Time Commitment and Scalability: This business can be started part time with the potential of providing a full time income.

In the author’s marketing information for this eBook he writes that he has over 17 years of experience in marketing and business management. He doesn’t specifically state that he has any hands on experience selling arts and crafts.

The Bottom Line:

The craft business has a structure that I really like because it fits so nicely with the theme of this website. It is relatively easy to learn, has low start-up costs, it has some time flexibility and the potential of producing a great income.

I also like that the products have such a tremendous popularity and appeal and therefore are in big demand. Most adults have a need to give unique and clever gifts throughout any given year. Crafts fit this need extremely well. Even in a tough economy there are usually interesting craft items available for any budget.

In his eBook, Chuck Smith does a nice, step-by-step job of organizing the essential but, often neglected, business and marketing aspect of the craft business. For these reasons I recommend How to Start Your Own Craft Business for anyone that wishes to get off to a smart start in a new craft business or reinvigorate an existing one.
