Everyone could use a little extra income--right? I love that I have found ways to earn income from the comfort of raising my children and wearing pajamas.
I usually like to have a few avenues of income coming in...and this is one of my favorites. Do you have aCricut Machineyet?
I love myCricut Maker 3&Cricut Maker, they are equally amazing and definitely worth their weight in gold.
Apart from its value, I still like to have myCricut Machinework for me...it needs to pay rent for sitting on my desk and taking up space.
I love making money from home and using aCricut Machineto do it! There's lots of ways to do it. Just like any business venture, there is initial investments and costs...and no guarantee for success, but I'd love to share how I've made it work for me.
If you are thinking of starting a Cricut Business, check out this post where I share all my tricks!
Step One:
Selling crafts made with Cricut has become a popular avenue for creative entrepreneurs, blending artistic expression with the potential for a thriving business. The Cricut, a versatile cutting machine, empowers creators to craft an array of personalized items, from vinyl decals to intricately cut paper designs. Leveraging these creations into a profitable venture requires a strategic approach.
Buy aCricut Machine. (If you can swing for the hefty price tag, get theMaker 3--it's 10X the power and has the adaptive tool set...great for the knife blade, scoring tools and fabric rotary blade)
If you don't get the maker, you'll always wish you did. Sorry. The Maker is pricy, but sometimes you can find a better price or a giant bundle with it. I love bundles.

It's great to get a bundle because then you have some supplies to get started. It's a great way to get going.
Step Two:
Join all the Cricut fan facebook groups. They are a great way to get inspiration, ask questions and surround yourself with others that have made Cricut their business.
I've got a group here, just fill out the questions and ask to join!
Step Three:
Start making things! Maybe all you can start with is something simple, like a bumper sticker. Make just one and take fabulous pictures of it.
Then post it for sale. When it sells, have your machine cut one more out, ready to ship. Bumper stickers are perfect because they are simple and cheap to ship. You'll need Vinyl and Transfer Tape.

Step Four:
Now branch out and make all the things! If you ever make an item for a gift or for yourself, make one extra to sell.
Establishing an online presence is paramount. Utilizing platforms like Etsy, Shopify, or personal websites provides a global marketplace for Cricut crafters to showcase their creations. High-quality photographs that highlight the intricate details of the crafts are crucial for attracting potential customers. A well-curated online shop, coupled with engaging product descriptions, enhances the overall shopping experience.
The power of social media should not be underestimated. Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest serve as visual mediums to showcase Cricut crafts, allowing crafters to connect with a wider audience. Consistent and creative content, coupled with relevant hashtags, can significantly increase visibility and attract potential customers.
Building a brand identity sets Cricut-made crafts apart in a crowded market. Whether it's a specific aesthetic, a signature style, or a unique packaging approach, a cohesive brand identity creates a memorable and recognizable presence. Crafters should consider incorporating personal stories or behind-the-scenes glimpses to connect with customers on a deeper level.
Repeat the process and enjoy success!
