There are three types of craft shows and each one has a different guideline when it comes to participating in them. When it comes to a mid-level craft show it all depends on the pricing, audience and fit its a good fit for your business.
There are times you will visit a craft show and it will be crowded with people and it looks like a show you might want to do.
But all mid-level shows are not what they seem...Trust me I have done some shows that I thought were great one year and the next year....a total flop!
In this episode I will talk about what is a mid-level craft show, the pricing and how much inventory should you bring.
Remember no matter what show you do....you will do great!

Have you ever wonder what is needed to get your online business started? I was where you are now and I just assumed that if I didn't have a store front and was selling from home, I didn't need to legalize it. Boy was I wrong! Did you know that no matter what business you have you need a license. It doesn't matter whether your making $50 or $5,000. You need a license and once you get that license it opens doors to all sorts of possibilities. Of course the best one is the Tax Man getting his cut (but I will save that talk for another time.
When it comes to starting and growing a business, a license is needed. The tax man always has to get his money one way or the other. In this episode I talk about obtaining a license and some of the benefits of having one. Of course, I didn't think it was a good idea in the beginning of my business but I soon caught on why it was needed. And you will too!
Please note, I'm no tax expert and I'm sure each state is different when obtaining a license. The best insight I can give you is to do plenty of research. 😁

You see it all over the internet and how we all need to find our niche. What the heck is a niche?!! That was a question I asked myself when I first started my online crafting business over 3 decades ago. Now that I think about it, I didn't quite understand the meaning of a niche until a few years later. But that is for another episode.
When it comes to starting a business the first step is to find out what is your special gift. Everyone has a gift they are born with, trust me... you have one too. Its just a matter of finding out what you love doing and then figure out a way to make money from it.
In this episode I will go over a few ways to figure out your niche. And once you figure out what that niche is, turn it into a profitable online business.
So lets figure out what yours is and get you started.
