There are plenty of ways to make money from the comfort of your own home. But there are some that are more enjoyable than others. If you’re doing something that’s connected to your passion, then you’ll find that your work doesn’t feel like work at all. You’ll just be playing around. Take making jewellery, for instance. This is something that many people start just as a hobby. But if you’re good at it, then you might find that you can turn it into a business. In this blog, we’ll look at some useful tips that’ll help you to make a sustainable business from your craft.

Find Your Style

There are, of course, many different ways to make jewellery. It’s as diverse as anything else creative. While you might like making different kinds of jewellery, it’ll be best, from a business perspective, if you develop one particular style. When it comes to making crafts, it’s a good idea to specialise, rather than be a jack of all trades. Plus, by picking one style, you’ll be able to dive deeper into your jewellery making. And that’ll make you stand out from the crowd. 

Up The Game 

It’s quite easy to make jewellery. Anyone can do it! That’s part of the fun. But making jewellery that other people will want to buy? That’s a different matter. In order to do that, your items will have to be high quality. They’ll need to be more detailed, more robust, more beautiful, and longer-lasting. To get to that level, it’s a good idea to use better-quality materials and use more specialist tools. If you have a carbide rotary burr, for instance, you’ll be able to make more detailed and advanced jewellery. It’s also recommended that you stress-test your jewellery. Nobody wants to buy jewellery that breaks too easily!

Attend Craft Events

There are plenty of places where you can sell your homemade creations, both in the digital and real world. In the real world, you should look at craft fairs and events. There, you’ll have people who are specifically in the market for jewellery checking out your items. However, they won’t just buy from you because you’re there! To get the attention of the public, it’s important to create a stand that stands out from the crowd and which reflects your jewellery. You need to give people a reason to buy from you, rather than from all the other vendors there. 

Selling Online

As well as selling your jewellery at events, take a look at selling online. There are plenty of places where you can list your items for sale. Some are better than others. The best online marketplaces include Big Cartel, Etsy, and ShopHandmade. As well as marketplaces, you should also have an Instagram store — they’re becoming very popular. If you have a following, then it’s recommended that you have your own website, too. This is a bit more challenging than just listing on a marketplace, but it can bring greater rewards and more sales, too.
