Make Money with Your Hobby of Pottery

Photo by Kelleys-Creations.

Perhaps pottery is your hobby. You can start to sell your items to customers to make money.

Choose colors that are popular for people to display your pottery in their homes. Earth tone colors always are in style. Look online or think of what colors people paint their rooms in their homes at this time. Light sage is popular whereas the bold colors are not as popular as they were last year.

Make different types of pottery such as those that will fit in country décor and those that will fit in modern décor. In other words, make a diverse amount of pottery that will appeal to all types of people.

You will need all of the pottery supplies including a kiln. You can save a lot of money and time by having your own kiln at home. Otherwise, you will have to find another person that does pottery
and pay them to use their kiln.

Take pictures of all the pottery you make. Show friends and family. Create your own website. You can buy your own .com or check out freewebs.com and get your own website for free. The template is all set up for you on freewebs.com. You will have to choose how you want your website to look and create each page. It truly is very simple.

Set up a shopping cart page with popular PayPal. This is a very safe way for people to buy and a safe way for you to sell. Both buyer and seller are protected. Once you get your website created, download your pottery pictures. Name each piece of pottery and put a price under the pottery. If you do a variety of pottery you will have a variety of prices for all types of people to afford.

You may want to offer sales and holiday specials every so often. This will give you an excuse to send an e-mail out to your friends and family. This will remind people that you sell pottery to make money.

Once people purchase your pottery, keep their name on a mailing list. That way previous customers will get updates from you and possibly purchase from you again.
