When I said I wanted to make my living from selling crafts so I could work at home, friends laughed. But a few months later with $5,784 in hand from just one craft show, it was my turn to laugh.

Starting a Craft Business? Read this recent article in the Wall Street Journal, which interviews James Dillehay, craft artisan and author

That's when I got really motivated -- arriving home with my pockets stuffed with wads of cash and checks.

I'm the first to admit that up until then, the idea of starting my own craft business had not been easy to consider. I had no creative talent, no technical crafts skills, and very little money. What I did have was a certainty I wanted to make a living by my own hands.

Do you have what it takes to start your own business? The Wall Street Journal reports that despite all of the tests to determine an entrepreneurial personality type, the only real distinguishing characteristic is having a belief in yourself that you can build a successful business.

I can't give you that belief, but from my experiences, I can show you what steps to take to make your success easier and faster and I'll save you money teaching you how to avoid common pitfalls when selling crafts.

How do you sell homemade crafts? Most of the craft artists I know, including me, are certainly not sales people, yet the average professional crafter brings in $76,025 (according to C.O.D.A. survey.)  Are your sales there yet? If not, keep reading.

Earning big money means learning the secrets of where to position your crafts in front of hundreds of thousands of buyers - and not just at craft shows.

If you're considering starting a craft business to work from home, there has never been a better time.

"I met James at a time when my business was fizzling to a standstill. Until then, I had a sporadic retail craft business with which I was feeling burnt out. After reading his books, my business took on a new life. I changed my product slightly and the response was remarkable! My first order was triple what I had planned for, and other orders are pouring in! I continue to look to James for inspiration and I love his approach. Because of the techniques I learned from him, my business is thriving." ~ Cathy Marble, Chamisa Hill Designs

Without Proven Craft Business Advice, You'll Get Very
Frustrated By Two Gigantic Problems

1) You don't know what you don't know. The most important and neglected question craft artists rarely ask themselves is "What is it that I don't know about marketing my pieces?"

2) Something everyone knows: it's a fact that the number of good craft shows that can actually make you money are shrinking, while booth rental fees and the number of competitors is rising. Crafts shows that produce results today can be out of business next year!

The keys to creating a successful craft business are knowing where the best shows are and what additional markets exist for handmade crafts. You'll never be at the mercy of changing circumstances when you know for yourself which marketing promotions really work.

This information is not available elsewhere. Here are just a few examples of over 700 proven craft business tactics you'll discover:
