For too long most of us have been happy to go along with the status quo and battle on from there.

Covid-19 has changed all that. But change was always coming.

4 Step System to Earning From Home.

The first three steps.

  • Brainstorming: Deciding on the product, reviewing your infrastructure. Amount of Financial outlay required. Setting aside a dedicated area for your work area. Health and Safety requirements, Insurances. etc.
  • The product of course determines whether you need to build an extension or even a new building, if you have a broad trade such as carpentry
  • The competing interests between partners need to be defined. If this can’t be settled don’t even start . Keeping records for tax purposes needs to be accommodated in this phrase as well.

Implementation

If you have gone through the brainstorming session thoroughly, then you should have the costs nailed down and your new work area demarcated from the rest of the home.

It is generally advised to keep the office area separate but this is sometimes impracticable.

If you are going to register your home or part of your home as a business then local by-laws come into play.

Although you may have investigated this in the Brainstorming, health and safety has to implemented. This is part of the local by laws and your certificate to operate is dependent on having set up properly.

Lets Rock ‘n Roll

You have some product ready. It has passed your quality control and ready for market.

Maybe your first piece of advertising is a sign at the front of the home. If you have demarcated your workspace from your home, there should be no reason to launch a search and rescue for the emerald necklace, you left near the T.V.

Craft Shows

Popular Craft Stalls

These are a fun and affordable way to introduce your products to a new audience. If you’ve never participated in one of these types of events before, the prospect can be a bit daunting at first.

The good news is that once you develop a system for constructing and accessorizing your booth, you’ll find your anxiety, replaced with enthusiasm.

“Time spent on reconnaissance is never wasted”, and when it comes to exhibiting at craft fairs.

Make sure BEFORE you set up a stall, that you know as much as possible about the show. What kind of people attend. Who else is exhibiting. And what other competition you might face.

There are a few ways to do this. One is to do online research… Another is to speak to the organizer. And another is to visit a fair as an attendee first and do a little “market research”.

Knowing what you’re getting into allows you to prepare in advance and give yourself the best chance of success.

The worst thing you can do is show up to a craft fair with exactly the same product as other exhibitors. Ideally, you want to be different and uniquely desirable to your target market.

Creating a visually appealing booth will encourage more passersby to stop and check out your items for sale.

Using simple items like small blocks of wood, or even a brick, covered by a colorful fabric square will create multiple levels within your booth.

Other key display elements can include items such as inexpensive shelving units, a simple wooden step stool, or one of your storage tubs turned upside down and covered by a fabric drape.

Use your imagination to create unique display surfaces that are easy on the wallet, but pack a strong visual punch.

While all this is good experience, you should also be taking as many photos as you can. So you can upload them to social media and…

The Final Step. Your Website.

 If you are a small artisan product producer producing hand made bath and spa products …is having a website really all that important?

The answer is a resounding YES. And the good news is that it has never been easier.

You can go through this site and find many examples of people setting up websites. Etsy and Artfire have good examples of artisan wares as well.

The trouble with websites, is they can take some time to get to a stand alone profitable entity.

Rome wasn’t built in a day either.

Recent posts on this site mention this.

With the Covid -19 shutdowns it is only reasonable that people will opt to take greater control of their lives.

There are many options out there.

This site generally concerns itself more with physical products, than selling get rich programs that show you how to get rich.
