Starting your own jewelry making business from home can be an ideal option for many mums. Making some extra money from something that you are passionate about can be wonderful...I know because that's what I do.
It's kind of like having the best of both worlds. You are able to work from the comforts of your own lounge room but still contribute to your family income. There are lots of opportunities that you can consider. It's a matter of picking which one best suits you and your circumstances.
Here are a few alternatives to think about:
Make and sell at local markets or craft shows
Make and sell through other retail shops on consignment
Make and sell direct to retailers on a wholesale basis
Make and sell through ebay
Make and sell at jewelry parties of an evening
Make and sell only on commission (that is you make a piece especially requested by a customer based on their preferences)
All these options are discussed in an interview I conducted with a clever lady who started selling her jewelry at a local craft show. She has become very successful at what she does and was happy to share her story with me. We discuss everything from how she got started to how she prices her jewelry. She talks about the best way to organize bead and beading supplies and how she buys cheap supplies.She even reveals her number one selling trick.
