Question
Hi Shasta,
In your opinion, what is the most profitable arts/crafts "at home" business to get in to?  I am looking for anything to do that will make money!  I am creative and good at most design, interior decorating, sewing, painting etc.
Thanks for any ideas!

Answer
Honestly I don't know.

I would have to have worked each and every "home" business to form an opinion of what is the most profitable "at home" business to get into.  

The most successful at home business to you will depend on what types of things you really enjoy doing, the amount of work (and problems) involved and the profits ($$$, wages, salary) that you would require to feel successful doing it.

The way to find a really successful/profitable business is to find something that a lot of people near you want that isn't being provided to them in over abundance.  Products that they want that also aren't being provided with very good quality, quantity or customer service might also be worth looking into.

You may have to try a few things out before you find something that really works for you and makes you money.

Good luck,

Shasta
