5 Ways To...



Find A Great Hobby For You!
1) Experiment- If you're totally clueless about what you enjoy. You can start by just simply experimenting with different things. Work with numerous ideas until you find one that you absolutely love!
2) Observe- You can also look at other people's work and see what they've done. If you think it's something that will interest you, go for it!
3) Research- Research different ideas. Look at all the possibilities out there. Once you've found something that's appealing to you get started on it.
4) Already love- These are the things that are quite obvious. If you have something that you love doing, it's obviously your hobby. You're probably very good at it to. Hey, make money off the stuff!
5) Realistic- You want to make sure the hobby you're looking at is actually realistic and something you can do. The biggest thing here would be financially. You don't want to lose money doing something unless it's worth it.

Make Your Product Known!
1) Advertise- Advertising is a big part of the money-making business. Whether it's putting it in the paper or just simply putting up fliers...every little bit counts.
2) Businesses- I personally do this one. You can go around to small city businesses and see if they will let you put your product up in their shop. This is a great way for alot of people to know about you.
3) Ask around- This is one that you want to be careful with. You can ask your friends if they would be interested in looking at your work to see if they like it. Make sure it's people that you're familiar with. The thing you don't want to do though is push people. You don't want to make them feel like your constantly nagging them.
4) Spread the word- In order to make your product known you have to tell people about it. No matter where you are, words always spread fast. Your friends will tell other people who will tell others and so on.
5) Send- For this one you need to have people that you trust involved. We send our jewelry to some of our relatives who are about an hour away and then they can take our stuff and sell them. Most of the time it's like in their office or something. The women always go crazy when they have fun stuff to look at while they're at work!
