If you're interested in beadwork as more than just a hobby, but also as a potential means of putting money in your pocket, then selecting the right assignments to focus on may significantly influence your success or failure. Below are some of the more popular profitable niches inside the expansive pastime that is bead craft.

Matched Sets: The result of these beadwork assignments is that the niche is somewhat less crowded and therefore, easier to enter compared to other areas. It's one thing to find a set of earrings, but to make a matching ensemble is quite an undertaking. Definitely an advanced undertaking, even if the designs are relatively simple. On the plus side, you may generally charge a premium for matched pairs, but this is balanced by the fact that they are slower to create. In order to make enough for sustainable profits, it is essential that you streamline processes and keep your designs simple, yet unique.

Ceiling Fan Pull Chains: A smaller, niche collection of beading ideas with great potential profit. Your market is smaller for these products than for jewelry, but there's less competition. Even when utilizing a complex pattern, these could be made quickly. If your designs are innovative, you can carve out a highly profitable niche for yourself. A heartily recommended "for profit" project!

Naturally, settling on one or more beadwork ideas to make the attraction of your "for profit" efforts is just the main story. Once you have settled on the line of projects to do, create and perfect your initial designs after which make some inventory for yourself, your time and efforts will be for nothing if you don't pay an immediate attention to advertising. Something which many hobbyist forgets (or don't realize) is that the best, most innovative design in the world is worthless without proper advertising. If nobody knows your line prevails, no matter how much time you've invested in it, you will have little, if any success and certainly no sustainable profits.

This is probably the great frustrations of several amateurs working to make money with their beading projects. They have a "build it and they will come" attitude, and many put almost no effort into the advertising aspect of the craft.

Specifically if you are only starting out, you will probably spend as much (or more) of your time marketing as you will actually creating product.

Your advertising efforts, like your beading projects, could be as simple or as complicated as you care to create them, and can involve any combination of 'net based, local exposure, and hand selling efforts. Your marketing efforts don't have to be perfect, but they do have to be continual and focused!

Anybody with a little bit of experience in bead craft can make their beading projects profitable, but it takes a plan, persistence, and patience, and don't forget marketing!
