i feel like this would be a good thing to pick up also if i make something i could possubly sell it locally, maybe and i could use the money to but more craft supplys or things that are needed. ive also been wanting to be more creative lately but im not sure how or what to make, got any ideas by chance i tried selling posters but that dident really work out. maybe i should do commsions but i feel like im bad at most things but ill still try to succeed.

    The key to success in crafting is to make things people already want, but nobody else is making. Browse through your inner circle or target audience and read comments. A lot of people want to spend money, they just want to buy a product they relate to or something that helps them express who they are.

    Just one example of this: plushies. They’re not new, they’re already everywhere, but niche cartoon character and video game character plushies still sell well because it’s a new design being implemented on something people already like. There will always be a new cartoon or game coming out and therefore a way to capitalize on it.

    You can also apply this tactic to many kinds of items: clothing, accessories, phone/tablet skins etc.
