Many hobbyists would love to earn a living selling the items they make at home.  Indeed, crafts are a huge business in the US:  in 1999 alone, consumers spent over $2 billion dollars on home-made craft items, ranging from copper tools to knitted baby booties.  

Crafts are popular gifts for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and housewarmings.   Opportunities are wide-open for talented entrepreneurs to earn a good living as home-based craftsmen, yet the market is surprisingly untapped in many areas (despite an abundance of creative talent).  Sadly, few artists take the initiative to turn their hobby into a lucrative home business.

The author of this guide has been successfully self-employed in her own home-based craft business for over twenty years.   She started on weekends and grew her business to include six product lines, several dozen outlets and a satisfying full-time income.   She believes that with a good product line, a commitment to success and the right plan, anyone can earn a good living in a one-person craft business.

This guide provides the author's blueprint for success.   She discusses the best ways to start a business and avoid the typical pitfalls.   She clearly explains how to assess your market, sell your products and expand into challenging new areas.   She offers a bird's eye view of a fun business that combines a rare combination of creative, administrative and managerial talent.   This guide is indispensable for anyone who would like to earn money from their crafts on either a part-time or full-time basis.
