5 Ways to Cash in on Crocheting
Profiting from a crochet business takes determination, hard work, and investment of time and money as well as a bit of common sense.
First you need to choose something that you enjoy, crochet. Second, you need to put everything in order, business wise. Finally, you need to do research both online and offline. Taking all of these into consideration will prepare you to succeed in a business centered on your favorite hobby.
Step 1: Pick something that makes you happy
In order to do something full-time you must love what you are doing.
Step 2: Treat it like a business
Follow the rules – get your business license and register for a tax id number.
Step 3: Read books
Keep current and develop knowledge in your craft.
Step 4: Visit Websites
Visit websites and forums that cater to the crochet world. See what people are asking and share your love for your hobby.
Step 5: Make Connections
Get out there and say hi to your vendors and suppliers. Build relationships with them.
When you are serious about turning your hobby into a business you will choose something you love, develop your product or service and promote it to those who are searching for it.
