Scrapbooking for Money

Woudn't it be a dream to profit from your love of scrapbooking?
Here are four of the most popular ways to earn money from your scrapbooking hobby:

1. Become a Scrapbook Consultant

Research the variety of direct sales scrapbooking companies that
allow you to earn a commission on products that you sell at
scrapbooking classes, crops, and other events. Some such direct
sales companies have very flexible provisions that could
even allow you to sign up just to get the consultant
discount on your own supplies - or the supplies you use
in custom scrapbooks that you make for others.

2. Teach Scrapbooking Locally

Offer to teach at scrapbooking stores, or community education
centers - or work with a direct sales company to offer classes
in Card making, Mini Albums, Scrapbooking 101, Rubber Stamping,
About Me Scrapbooking, and more. Also consider offering classes
that revolve around special events in people's lives. For example,
you can help people plan baby showers and wedding showers in which
guests come together to learn about scrapbooking and make a treasured
memento in the process. This is an amazing way to make valuable
difference in people's lives and relationships.

3. Create Custom Scrapbooks For Others

Some companies are starting to offer comprehensive kits that make
this process much easier, with everything you need to create albums
for others along various themes. You can charge by the page or by
the hour. Sue DiFranco of Fun Facts Publishing
(http://www.funfactspublishing.com) has published an informative
book on this topic, titled "Make Money Making Scrapbooks for Others,"
which is particularly helpful when trying to determine how to
price your work. Check out this yahoogroup for more information
on this option, as well: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Scrapping4Others.

4. Set up a Scrapbooking Store Online

Whether you stock your own products or become an affiliate of an
existing online scrapbooking store, this is a fun way to build a
career in scrapbooking, no matter where you live - though the
overhead on starting your own store can be high. You may want
to investigate the ecommerce capabilities and policies of
various direct sales scrapbooking companies, as well, to
reduce your overhead still further.

A scrapbooking business is one of the most rewarding opportunities
as it allows you to help people in your community to capture and
celebrate life. Enjoy discovering the opportunities for making a
scrapbooking business work for you!
