Scrapbooking is a lot of fun and rewarding. If your are being complemented on finished scrapbooks or creative crafts you've made why not make money out of them. It is easy to make a profit doing what you love. Imagine having a good time and fun and being paid ?

First thing you need to do is to find who will be your client. Easy, you can start with your family, friends and co- workers. This is a great way to start because you can even use their beautiful scrapbooks to showcase to your future clients. I believe that the most powerful form of advsertising is a word of mouth.

As your client grows, you can now form a Scrapbook Club. You can do this monthly, bi-weekly or it depends how you want to schedule it. Believe it or not, I even do after work Scrapbook Party. I held it in our lunch room. My co-workers loved it. They said it is very relaxing and fun.

There are people outthere that prefer to make or receive personalized gifts but they do not have the time or skills to make one. That is when you can turn your hobby into $$$$.

Another way to promote your scrapbook business is your local Church or School. I once help the youth on my Church to raise fund for their Summer Camp.

You can also bring your creative products at Craft fairs. This is really a goodway to market your Scrapbook products and make some real scrapbooking profit.

Although, Scrapbooking is a hobby and can be a lot of fun, don't forget to treat it as a business. Learn to be more organized, be always at your best when creating your layouts and be professional.Always make sure to deliver your product timely and exceeds customer expectations. No doubt,that client will be back with a friend or two .

Scrapbooking is a great hobby and  extremely popular craft. If you wanna know more about Scrapbooking and Papercrafts,please visit my website : http://www.jinkyscrafts.com/ there are tutorials available. If i can do it, i bet YOU can !
