Making a Living with Your Arts & Crafts

More than One Source of Income 

To be successful it's important to have more than one stream of income.

Arts & Craft Fairs are generally spring through the Christmas Season. But the bills still arrive in the mail in January, February and March. 

The general economy runs in cycles, there are good times, extremely good times, and times when business falls off dramatically. 

You'll want to be prepared for the good times by having plenty of stock, and the bad times with at least two if not three or four ways to sell your work.  

Making a full time income from my work has sometimes necessitated that I look for new avenues for sales to add to my income.   

When I do a little self analysis, I simply like finding new ways to do about anything.  For this reason, I’ve sold my work in about every way that I can think of. 

What follows is a summation of my experiences with some suggestions that you may want to consider.
