An online blog may be the perfect place for you to start sharing your love of crafting. How would you also like to make money while you blog? Journaling online, called blogging, allows you to share your beautiful crafts and your talent with other crafty people. With simple to learn, free applications like Blogger.com or Wordpress, you can choose templates to suit your style. Your craft blog can be personally designed to illustrate:
Photos: You'll want to exhibit beautiful photos of the craft items, before, during, and after completion. If you are turning "trash into treasure", the before pictures can be especially valuable in describing your craft. Also include photos of each stage during the creation of your masterpiece. That will get people flocking to your blog in no time. Be sure to use a high quality digital camera to highlight your crafts every detail.
Describe the materials: When your readers look at the pictures of your crafts, they want to know exactly what materials they are looking at and where they can buy them. Be specific, using familiar names, even brand names, of the materials, specific colors, sizes, and shapes. The reader can then find the exact items they are looking for at their local craft stores or online. Detailed descriptions of materials used also helps by telling the internet search engines which items you're discussing on your blog. Google.com (tm) will then begin to send people to your blog when people search for items using words you mentioned in your description.
Include a lesson: If you have a craft that is quite involved, or possibly very popular, you may want to include a simple "How To", or lesson on one or more portions of the craft. Your fellow crafters may like to expand on your craft, making it uniquely theirs for gift-giving or personalizing. A technique or craft that is yours alone may even be worth a patent. That way you can actually sell the instructions or technique to an interested reader at a reasonable price.
Materials needed: Include a list of what materials were used to make the crafts on your blog. That tells the viewer what went into the crafting of each piece, what they will need to make their own and where they can find the materials to do so. Be sure to give a thorough description of each material, amounts needed and measurements. This helps your readers duplicate the crafts more easily - which will better ensure their success.
Selling on your Blog: If you're looking for a return on your investment when you start your blog, you may want to consider selling your crafts directly from your blog. If you can customize your crafts, you most certainly will have a market. Even if you just offer special craft items over the Holidays, or offer a birthday only craft, you will find an audience. It's possible to sell your items directly off your blog, or you can set up a storefront on a site like eBay.com or Etsy.com. You may also wish to design and sell the patterns for your crafts, sell advertising on your blog, or look into other options for making money on your blog.
You know how much time crafting takes, and how much talent, and patience. But, what you need to learn is how a blog about your own unique crafting can take your interest in crafting to a whole new level. If you let other crafters know about your abilities, a whole new world will await you... a world with a paycheck!
