Starting and Running a Successful Craft Business



Whether you've been selling your artistic wares for ages or just starting out - or trying to figure out how to get started - About.com's Arts / Crafts Business section is chock full of information and resources.

Just browsing through the articles you'll find excellent info on the essentials - what to consider when starting up, how to price your wares, participating in shows and fairs, and tons more.

You can also sign up for the free weekly newsletter (I've been a subscriber myself for forever) and read and participate in threads on a variety of relevant topics with other professional artists.

It's definitely worth a look if you've never been there. Check it out, then let me know what you think.

Or, if this is old news to a seasoned vet like you, maybe you'll still consider sharing your thoughts? What's your opinion on the quality of information, and what other sites would you recommend for beginners?

Thanks for reading! Check back soon for the results - and reward? - to my hours of searching for an opensource pattern maker (aka picture converter) for embroiderers and cross-stitchers.
