With the rising costs of everyday items such as milk, bread, and gasoline, more and more women are feeling the crunch, and finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. While all of these prices are going steadily upwards, it seems like our wages never budge. As a result, more and more of us are choosing to work from home, either to supplement our regular jobs, or to become the main source of steady income. Either way, there are hundreds of thousands of great business opportunities, many of them catering to women.

One such opportunity is craft brokering. There are many women out there who are naturally crafty, but they look at it more as a hobby than as a career. Many do not want to get into the business side of crafts. On the other side of the spectrum, we see business savvy women who love arts and crafts, but just do not have the knack for producing the actual items. Craft brokering provides an opportunity for both sides of the spectrum to come together in a great business opportunity that is a win-win situation for both sides.

Some women choose to market these products through online auctions such as eBay or etsy, others build their own websites to showcase their items. Some particularly savvy business owners utilize a combination of both, bringing in double the profits. So whether you are better with the business deals, or better with the knitting needles, craft brokering can be a great opportunity to make a career in the world of crafting.
