In order to get started with this kind of business, you will need to enjoy the concept of scrapbooking and have a love for being creative in working with crafts.
There are several other internal skills you might need, such as having an eye for design; possessing a measure of patience while arranging elements on a page, combined with a limitless imagination. You should also be able to manage your time and be detail oriented - you are creating lasting memory books that require patience, skill, neatness and organization.
Clients will provide you with their photos and you will combine them into a scrapbook with text and design elements that bring the photos to life on the pages. If you are already into scrapbooking, this could be the perfect chance for a work at home income.
Of course there is a wide variety of equipment and supplies that you will need, including:
- albums
- scrapbook pages
- colored paper
- printed paper
- cropping scissors in a variety of designs
- colored pens, pencils and markers
- adhesive
- a variety of decorations for scrapbooking, like stickers, die cut paper shapes
- stencils
- templates
Depending on how involved you are in scrapbooking, you may already have a variety of scrapbooking supplies like cutting tools and mats and the scissors, etc.
You will also want to increase your work at home income by creating an online presence, as well as other marketing materials such as business cards and brochures.
Complete scrapbooks can sell from $60 to $100 or more, and most scrapbookers charge $10-15 per page while others charge $10 to $20 per hour.
Start with word of mouth advertising and (branch out to the web with a web site). You can quickly and easily put together your own web site in which you can take orders from around the globe.
Keep in mind the cost of shipping completed scrapbooks as well. Scrapbooking takes a lot of time and dedication to the craft, so be sure that you are charging accordingly to cover your expenses and the time that you spend.
There is a big demand for scrapbookers to create memory books for other people who don't have the time or patience to do it themselves, or who don't feel they are creative enough to put it together in the way that they are hoping it will turn out. This is where you come in - putting together memory books for others can be quite rewarding and will provide you with a rewarding work at home income.

but hard enough to get out of."

Debt is NOT your friend. It's not a wonderful "tool" for building wealth. That's a myth.
