How to Turn Your Scrapbooking Supplies Into a Business Expense
Let me guess, you love scrapbooking, and you can’t get enough of it right? So why not turn your passion for scrapbooking into a full-time income? By turning your hobby into a business, not only can you earn a nice income, but you can deduct all of your scrapbooking supplies as a business expense.
A wise man once said, “the only people who retire are people who never really figured out what they wanted to do with their life.” That is so true; seldom do you meet someone who is passionate about what he or she does for a living.
One of the keys to happiness in this lifetime is to find fulfillment in your work. Even the bible seems to support this in the book of Ecclesiastes. One way to accomplish this is to find a way to get paid for doing something you love to do.
In the past, turning a hobby into a career was next to impossible. For hobbies like sports or singing, your odds of making it big were slim to none. As for other hobbies, there simply was no such career. Back in the “good ole days”, a hobby was just a hobby, and if you wanted to earn a living, you had to go out and get a regular 9 to 5.
But those days are long gone. The Internet makes it possible for you to earn a 6 figure income doing nothing more than sharing your expertise about scrapbooking on the Internet on your own website.
And I’m not talking about blogging or selling your creations on ebay. In fact, you don’t even have to sell anything. You see once you start publishing content on your website, you will begin attracting likeminded scrapbooking fanatics to your site. Those visitors will become your #1 asset because they will be the ideal target market for advertisors who will pay you to post their website links and ads on your site.
I am talking about a full-blown Internet business with a loyal fan base made up of thousands of scrapbookers, who practically worship the ground you walk on, and will pump thousands of dollars into your bank account every month without even knowing it, just by showing up at your site, and clicking on advertiser ads.
And you won’t have to sit around, like a sitting duck, waiting for advertisers to knock on your door because there are directories where you can go sign up for free and search for advertisers who’s products are relevant to the topic of your website. You simply pick and choose who you want to advertise for and post their ready-made marketing materials on your website without having to negotiate or speak to anyone.
You will be paid according to the terms specified on the directory site. There are some programs that pay you everytime one of your website visitors clicks on an ad. That’s it…just click…they don’t even have to buy anything.
There are other programs that pay you a commission when one of your website visitors clicks to their site, from yours, and buys something. The link will have a special tracking code, that let’s them know who to pay if a sale is made…that would be you!
And don’t worry if you don’t know a thing about building a website, it’s much easier than you might think with all the online tutorials and user-friendly software out there. You just have to be brave enough to try. You will be surprised how easy it is.
There is a learning curve to learning how to effectively promote your website, but as long as you’re willing to learn, the only other requirements are that you be passionate about scrapbooking, and that you take your business as serious as you do your job! Do that, and you’re certain to achieve an executive level income on the Internet in as little as 6-12 months.
