Making scrapbooks is one of the biggest industries

in the country today. According to studies, the

scrapbook industry earns about $3Billion each year

and this figure keeps on growing. Since scrapbook

making can be done in the comforts of your home,

this can be a very lucrative home business for

creative people. The good thing about the scrapbook

making business is that it does not really require

a huge amount of capital. If you are creative and

you know how to make use of whatever materials that

are available, you can already create good

scrapbooks.

Learning the art of scrapbook making

Starting out a home-based scrapbook making business

is easy especially if you are naturally creative

and artistic. However, to make sure that you are on

top of everything, before you start your own

scrapbook making business, you must first learn all

that you know about this hobby. First, you must

know the different techniques of scrapbook making.

Read books and magazines about this business. You

may also enroll in one of those scrapbook making

classes. Practice what you have learned and then

improvise. Always remember that scrapbook making is

an art. Be creative. Always remember that the more

unique your scrapbooks are, the more clients you

will have.

Getting supplies

If you want to engage in the scrapbook making

business, you must know where to get good

materials. Locate a good supplier of paper and

trinkets in your locality and make sure that you

have enough supply of good materials all the time.

If you are planning to do a lot of scrapbooks,

better buy your materials in bulk and get some

discount. On the other hand, if you have no time to

run around town and shop for papers and trinkets,

you can just go online and take a look at those

sites that are selling scrapbook materials. The

good thing about buying your supplies online is

that you get to save a lot of time and effort. Just

make sure that you order your scrapbook making

supplies form reputable online stores or else you

will soon find yourself with some materials which

are substandard or worst, your credit card could

get high jacked and you lose a lot of money.

Marketing your product

The best way to market your product is to create

samples and present them to your friends and

relatives. You can start by asking close family

members friends if they want to have keepsakes are

custom made. You may also display your designs

during family gatherings and special occasions so

that people will have some ideas of what you can

do. If your designs are really good, a lot of

people will be calling you about their scrapbooks

sooner than you can imagine.
