[](http://www.bbbonline.org/cks.asp?id=1060418123522 )Dear Craft Enthusiast,
If you've ever thought about starting and running your own successful craft business while avoiding some of the most common mistakes made by business newbies and using some of the most powerful marketing techniques available then this might be the most important letter you'll ever read.
Here's why:
How to Start Your Own Craft Business is the definitive guide to showing you the ropes to starting, running, and marketing your own successful craft business. This multimedia package - downloadable ebooks, videos, and audios - is packed with as much information as is humanly possible about making money with your crafts - showing you the fastest and easiest way to get your profitable craft business off the ground.
Look, I know you are passionate about your crafting , and want a way to take your hobby to the next level. Your friends and family tell you that your hand-crafted items are works of art and that you should sell them. They may have even offered to buy some of your craft items from you.
That's why you want to take the leap of faith and start your own craft business selling your own crafts to your local community (or even over the Internet!). For you, it's time to stop working for someone else, and start building a future that will replace your current income and allow you the freedom only true entrepreneurs enjoy.
Are you just getting started?
Maybe you've just started to explore the possibility of starting your own craft business to see if you're ready for the commitment. Or perhaps you know you're ready, but want to be completely prepared when you start to put your craft business together and start spreading the word out about your new business.
Well, you've come to the right place because...
This is the most comprehensive guide to starting your
own craft business available on the market today!
Now, I know you're probably skeptical. That's normal and healthy. Let me give you three good reasons we can back up what we claim:
Three Reasons To Believe What I Say
Reason One: I am the author of the highly-successful quilting business books, "How to Start Your Own Machine Quilting Business," "How to Start Your Own Quilt Shop," and "How to Start Your Own Quilting Business." With over 2,431 copies sold since 2003, these are the leading resources for quilters looking to start their own machine quilting business or quilt shop. I know how to get people started in a craft business.
Reason Two: I have over 17 years of experience in marketing and business management. To me, there is nothing as important as being able to bring customers into your new business in the most effective, least expensive, manner. This business guide offers my expertise in the top marketing methods for a new craft business, including Internet marketing and selling your crafts on eBay.
Reason Three: I've spent over a $1,000 and 100s of man hours (worth $1,000s more!) pulling together the most exhaustive, thorough guide to starting, running, and marketing a craft business available anywhere. I've tried to leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding out the most effective information to lead your craft business to success. You can take advantage of this investment at a fraction of the cost.
Here's What's In this Craft Business Start-Up Kit
1) Comprehensive craft business guide
General business books don't go into enough detail about the specifics of starting, running, and marketing a successful craft business. This book delivers the step-by-step instructions you need to get your craft business up and running in the least amount of time.
2) Craft business plan template and spreadsheets
You may think that you don't need to develop a business plan for your new craft business. But, a business plan will help you work out the financial aspects of your business before you've invested any time - or money - on a losing proposition. When you know what you need to do to make your business profitable before you start, you are on your way to making your business a success. And the craft business plan instruction video will show you how to update the financial spreadsheets and work out the profitability of your craft business.
3) Written with the novice in mind
Never run a business before? You don't have to worry about getting bogged down with over-complicated terms or unnecessary information. This book provides an easy-to-read primer to help guide you through some difficult concepts of starting a craft business and running it effectively.
4) Excellent marketing section
Without customers, your craft business will never take off and quickly die. That's why there's an entire section dedicated to marketing your craft business. You'll see which advertising and promotional techniques will the most useful and effective methods of getting the word out about your new craft business, and for attracting new - and repeat - customers.
5) Helps you decide if a craft business is right for you
Starting any new business can be a bit intimidating, or even downright scary. How to Start Your Own Craft Business takes you by the hand and lets you know everything that you'll need to do to start and run a successful craft business. With all the right information, you can make a decision on whether or not a craft business is right for you.
6) Learn the ins and outs of craft fairs
Craft fairs are one of the best markets for selling your crafts. Find out how to properly exhibit your crafts for maximum exposure - and maximum sales. Also, learn sneaky craft fair market research tricks to help you find out what items are selling for in your area - an aid when pricing your crafts.
7) Industry statistics and demographics
Discover some interesting facts about the craft market, and how you can get involved in this $21 billion plus market. When you know who your customers are, it makes it easier to gear your new craft business towards those most likely to purchase your wares.
8) Day-to-day business advice
Running a business is not a walk in the park. In fact, it can be one of the most difficult things you'll ever do. But, with the right planning and attitude, you can take a lot of the "sting" out of the more mundane tasks, like record keeping, accounting, hiring, and more.
And much, much more...
How to Start Your Own Craft Business is written with the business novice in mind. You know crafts and love your hobby. But, you may not know how to start and run a successful business. This craft business start-up package is designed to give you that knowledge and to help you decide if you want to make that leap from crafting hobby to full- or part-time craft business.

"I am finding this book extremely helpful in planning how I can sell the quilts I make. Although I have not decided on exactly what I will do, the book gives me several options from which to choose. Thanks so much, Chuck, for a very helpful tool. "
Susan Birney , Fort Collins, CO
"Dear Chuck,
I have been reading for days and I have to tell you, I am very impressed with your book "How To Start Your Own Quilting Business".
I knew it would be a good read but it surpassed my wildest imagination with so much information. It is easy to understand and a good read.
I also want to thank you for including the 101 Patchwork Patterns. I had the book but lost it in an accident five years ago. There is a large tulip pattern that I really love. In 1988, lived in Englewood, Colorado and purchased a used Dodge car. It was in bad need of seatcovers. I had little money so I decided to make the seat covers myself.
The car was a reddish brown so I purchased some brown material, and some bright orange material and some bright green material. I made the seat covers and used that tulip design on the upper front of the seats and it was very pretty. Later when I sold the car, back to the person I had origionally purchased it from, his comment to me was "I will buy the car back but only if I can have the seat covers to".
Needless to say, I was delighted to have that pattern back and will use it again and again, not necessairly for slipcovers. Just thought you would enjoy that little bit of information.
Again I thank you for such a wonderful book and all the other resources that came with it. Keep up the great work. I look forward to your e mails.
Sincerely,
Doris Reilly"
