Work From Home Idea: Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking can be a good home business ideaScrapbooks are quite popular, and if you enjoy scrapbooking (and are good at it), you can make it into a home business. There are a few different ways you can make money with some version of scrapbooking. Here are some fairly inexpensive ways to turn your scrapbooking hobby into a work at home business:

Get involved in direct sales. There are scrapbook companies that allow you to make commissions on direct sales of their products. You can take orders in person and on the phone, or you can set up a Web site for order taking (or do both!).

Join an affiliate program. There are plenty of scrapbooking affiliate programs that you can join. What this means that you promote a scrapbooking company, and you are paid when people follow your home business link to the Web site.

Create scrapbooks for others. If you have a knack for scrapbooking, you can sell your skills to people who do not have the time or inclination to make scrapbooks, but who want to preserve their memories in an attractive fashion. You can help with this, filling niche scrapbook markets for special occasions like weddings, travel and babies.

Another idea is to turn your craft skills and do other things as well. Making custom cards with rubber stamps and paper is relatively inexpensive. You can start a card club, where you purchase supplies and have people you know come over and make cards. Five dollars for ten custom cards is reasonable, and you can usually buy all of the supplies for much less, keeping the profit. One of my friends does this, and we all enjoy getting together once a month to have her help us make cute cards.
