An online blog may be the perfect place for you to start sharing your love of crafting. How would you also like to make money while you blog? Journaling online, called blogging, allows you to share your beautiful crafts and your talent with other crafty people. With simple to learn, free applications like Blogger.com or Wordpress, you can choose templates to suit your style. Your craft blog can be personally designed to illustrate:
Photos: You'll want to exhibit beautiful photos of the craft items, before, during, and after completion. If you are turning "trash into treasure", the before pictures can be especially valuable in describing your craft. Also include photos of each stage during the creation of your masterpiece. That will get people flocking to your blog in no time. Be sure to use a high quality digital camera to highlight your crafts every detail.
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.
How To: It's always a wonderful idea to include a How To for some of your more popular or intricate crafts. This allows others to learn how they can make their own version of the crafts you have on display, for personal enjoyment or gift-giving. If you have a craft that's uniquely yours, you can even patent it and sell the instructions at a small cost to the reader.
Materials needed: Include a list of what materials were used to make the crafts on your blog. That tells the viewer what went into the crafting of each piece, what they will need to make their own and where they can find the materials to do so. Be sure to give a thorough description of each material, amounts needed and measurements. This helps your readers duplicate the crafts more easily - which will better ensure their success.
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.
