Whats the best way to start a hand made craft business?
Building a business based on a craft takes time to develop. You could try some online auctions that will not charge large fees. You also have to do a lot of marketing on your on. Try to target your audience and get in touch with businesses that could sell your product as an unusual item. Don’t forget Craig’s list. Finally, no business can grow in isolation. Attend networking groups if you can. I belong to one that specializes in networking mothers who have businesses from home. When you attend networking meetings you meet other people in your same situation. You’ll find out where the opportunities are in your locale, and you won’t be so isolated in your quest to expand. An exchange of ideas with someone who the same desire to “grow” their business can broaden your horizons and possibilities. Good luck!
