Beads are Hot!
How often do you see someone walking down the street or in a mall, covered in beaded accessories? Beads were popular in the sixties and seventies and now they are having a comeback. High end merchandise to dollar store bargains now sport many options for beaded items. You can take your bead hobby and turn it in a new direction.
Why not start a bead craft website? Use the knowledge you’ve gained and use it to build a website devoted to:
- Beaded Jewelry
- Beaded Lampshades
- Beaded Purses
- Beaded Clothing and Accessories
- Beaded Cell Phone Charms
- Beaded Ipod Cases
- Beaded Pet Accessories
Write up tutorials on how to create projects like yours. Use diagrams and pictures. Then set up your website. You can include a link to your own online store that sell your own crafts or craft supplies that are useful when beading.
Or use your website as informational only and place ads to generate revenue. Add a forum to give users a reason to come back. Update and add more to your website everyday. Keep them wanting more.
Ask for feedback from your users. If they want something, do everything you can to provide it.
