Take your Hobby to the Next Level.... Sales!
If you are creative, and your house is filling up with all those precious creations!.. Then why not take it to the next level?
You are obviously passionate and serious about your craft, as you do this for a hobby or stress relief from the daily grind! This also means that you create quality work, that is why, it has often been said, that your business should be based on something you are passionate about and have some knowledge for it to succeed.
Why not start by looking in your paper for a local craft show?.. It doesn't have to be a big one, you quite often find local farmers markets, organized town picnics, or small fairs and church bazaars will have space available to rent. This is a great place to get your feet wet in craft shows. These local small shows, are not usually very expensive, and would give you a idea of which creations market the best.
You will also get the feel of the public eye, and it is nice to get praise for your work, and hopefully you receive some sales as well.. There is nothing more satisfying, then making that first sale!
That is the day you officially become a business instead of a hobby!
