How to Choose Crafts to Sell
We can’t promise income, because results depend on your market, prices and effort. These basics give any craft a better chance:
- Know your cost: add up supplies per piece, then your time at an hourly rate, plus fees and packaging.
- Pricing rule of thumb: many sellers start at three to four times the supply cost, then adjust.
- Batch it: doing one step across 20 pieces is much faster than finishing one at a time.
- Stay legal: avoid trademarked characters and logos, check local permit and sales tax rules, and label candles and cosmetics properly.
