If you enjoy making beautiful craft items and sharing your ideas with other crafting people, a craft blog may be just what you need. How would you also like to make money while you are journaling, or blogging, about your crafts? You can do that when you set up your blog using easy to learn, free applications such as Wordpress or Blogger.com. You'll choose a colorful template that you can adapt to your own personal tastes. You'll also design your template to help exhibit your crafts by using items such as:
Photographs: Your readers will appreciate a clear picture of the craft idea, from start to finish. When creating something from a recycled object, pictures of the original object are especially of interest to your readers. If you also include step-by-step photos, you'll end up with a very popular blog in no time. Using a good digital camera will help your readers get an idea of how a simple craft can become a treasured object.
Descriptions: Explain to your blog readers what they are looking at, what materials were used and where they can get more information about the crafts. Use names for the materials used, colors, sizes and shapes. It will also give search engines more opportunity to send visitors to your site as people may search for the various words you mention.
Include a lesson: If you have a craft that is quite involved, or possibly very popular, you may want to include a simple "How To", or lesson on one or more portions of the craft. Your fellow crafters may like to expand on your craft, making it uniquely theirs for gift-giving or personalizing. A technique or craft that is yours alone may even be worth a patent. That way you can actually sell the instructions or technique to an interested reader at a reasonable price.
Materials list: When your readers walk into the craft store, they want a complete list of materials to make their shopping easier. You'll want to include all colors, sizes, and measurements in great detail and accuracy. Include where your readers can find the materials needed and any additional descriptions and possible substitutions if needed. Additionally, when people visiting your website duplicate your craft and it turns out great, they are more likely to tell their friends about your blog -- so be sure to explain exactly which items they should purchase and where they can find them.
Selling crafts: One of the best ways to see a return on your time investment with crafting is to offer certain items for sale on your blog. Why not offer custom made or personalized items to your readers? Holidays and birthdays are great times for your readers to purchase your unique, specialized crafts. You can sell them directly on the blog or include a link to outside auction sites like eBay.com or Etsy.com. You can also sell your own craft patterns, advertising space on your website and more.
Taking the time to do crafting takes a lot of time, patience and talent. Blogging about your crafting ideas will help you take your art to the next level, by increasing awareness of your unique crafts. Start now to create a blog, let the rest of the world know about your talents, and make money in the process!
