If you're interested in beadwork as more than just a spare time activity, but also as a potential means of putting money in the bank, then choosing the correct projects to focus on may greatly influence your success or failure. Below are some of the more popular money-making niches inside the extensive activity which is bead craft.

Matched Sets: The upshot of these beadwork assignments is that the field is somewhat less crowded and therefore, easier to get into compared to other fields. It's one thing to whip out a set of earrings, but to create a matching ensemble is quite an undertaking. Definitely an advanced task, even if the designs are not at all hard. On the plus side, you may usually charge a premium for matched sets, but this is balanced by the fact that they are slower to create. If you want to make enough for sustainable profits, it is essential that you streamline processes and keep your patterns simple, yet unique.

Ceiling Fan Pull Chains: A scaled-down, niche line of beading ideas with great profit potential. Your market is smaller for these products than for jewelry, there is however less competition. Even while employing an intricate design, these could be produced quickly. If your designs are innovative, you can create a highly profitable niche for yourself. A heartily proposed "for profit" project!

Certainly, settling on a number of beadwork ideas to make the centerpiece of your "for profit" efforts is just part of the story. Once you have settled on the line of projects to do, create and perfect your first designs after which make some stock for yourself, your efforts will be for nothing if you don't pay an immediate attention to advertising. A thing that many hobbyist forgets (or don't understand) is that the best, state-of-the-art design in the world is pointless without proper marketing. If nobody knows your line exists, no matter how much time you've invested in it, you will have little, if any achievements and certainly no sustainable earnings.

This is probably the great let-downs of many amateurs trying to make money with their beading projects. They have a "build it and they will come" attitude, and many put minimal effort into the advertising part of the craft.

Especially if you are only starting out, you can expect to spend as much (or more) of your time and efforts marketing as you will actually producing product.

Your advertising efforts, much like your beading projects, can be as simple or as complicated as you care to make them, and can involve any combination of 'net based, local exposure, and hand selling efforts. Your marketing efforts need not be perfect, but they do need to be continual and aimed!

Anyone with a little bit of experience in bead craft can turn their beading projects profitable, but it takes a strategy, persistence, and patience, and don't forget advertising!
