Create Unique Beaded Jewelry And Earn Cash

By Alison Wilcox


For anyone who loves fashion and accessories, there are many ways to earn a living. While some traditional jobs may require extensive education and training in order to be successful, the internet has created new ways to sell goods and services of many kinds. This is why many people sell unique beaded jewelry and other accessories from the comfort of their home.

Some are motivated to go into online sales because they saw an item they liked that was expensive and felt they could create their own version for less. Making items also saves on delivery time as well as money in the pocket. For those who like to look their best for less, making jewelry and other accessories is a practical solution.

Getting into online sale is easy for most as there is not as much paperwork involved. One thing that emerging entrepreneurs should keep in mind is that the procedures can change once they have a steady stream of revenue. However, there are a few simple steps involved so that interested persons will become familiar with running a small business on a full or part time basis.

The first matter is to buy materials and any necessary tools. Many online companies sell jewelry making tools and materials for much less than most arts and crafts storefronts. The quantities are also larger so this will allow more products to be assembled. Others say that shopping online offers more selection, which is helpful because a person should want to create a unique item.

Using sketches or copying basic ideas is a good way to find inspiration for creating new pieces. Aside from these, books are also good for ideas as well as viewing internet forums that are dedicated to jewelry. People who do this may find there are other projects that they can make with beads such as home accessories.

For the person that wants to try out intricate designs, books and online instruction may be of help. They are also helpful in showing the proper use of tools and other materials for a better product. Another alternative would be to attend classes at a local craft retailer or take a noncredit college course on jewelry making.

Once a few decent pieces have been created, a person should find places to sell. While online merchants require little money to set up a virtual store, consignment companies normally take a percentage of the sale. The advantages here are that there is little to no paperwork to deal with and a person can create as much inventory as they can handle.

It is best to have clear, color pictures of great pieces before attempting to sell to the public. In the case of online viewing, people can see what it is they are getting. Though having pictures is a good marketing tool, it is also recommended to have basic promotional tools so that items will sell faster and can be found in a search engine. While many people find this to be easy and in some ways, fun, selling unique beaded jewelry can be quite a way to make money.
