Start Small
It’s sensible to start making small items as you figure out pricing, where to sell, and demand. Key chains or small home decor items are great starting points.
Consider Where to Sell
Give some thought to where you could reach potential customers. You might opt for a craft fair or local artisan market. This is good because there’s usually good footfall and plenty of potential customers. Bear in mind you might need to pay a fee to have a stall.
Alternatively, you could sell via an online marketplace, which allows you to reach a potentially global marketplace. You’ll need to open a shop, take clear pictures of your products and work out your postage costs.
Other Options
If you’re a macrame expert, you could consider teaching others via workshops, courses or online videos. There’s also the option to sell downloadable digital patterns online.
