Big Companies

In India major online E-commerce websites are always ready to add more products to their ever-growing website.  For that, all you have to do is get yourself enrolled as a seller, and these websites will help you in selling your products. Target sites like Etsy, Amazon, Ebay and Kraftly.

Social Media

Make your Facebook account or your Instagram page a place to showcase your talent. Tell your friends to share your crafts, and you too share it on various social media groups. Soon, you will have orders pouring in from all around. It’s the best way to communicate where you can talk to the customers on a personal level and also cater to their special needs as well.

 

Blog/Vlog/Website

If crafts are truly your passion then why not spread it online. You can start a blog of your writing about your creations and DIY and with that give your audience a place to order it from. If you are comfortable enough why not start your very own YouTube Channel where you can talk about art and craft while providing a link to your website as well.

Street Marketing

This Idea is only possible in India. We are all aware how there are street vendors in markets selling products. Why not you sell them your handmade items to further sell in the market. This way you instantly make money and also are helping in contributing to a poor man’s livelihood. You can get in contact with street vendors through various NGO’s.

Look out for all the shows and fairs in your area and book a stall. Normally, such events last for three to four days. Hence, you have ample amount of time to sell your products. The good thing about this way is that you don’t have to work all year around and if you make crafts as a hobby then this can be your part time job to earn some extra cash.

 

As it popularly said, “If you are good at something then, never do it for free.” So, don’t let your talent go to waste. Encourage yourself and give it a shot. Your hobby might turn out to be a full-fledged business.
