There's nothing in the world like doing something you love not just for fun but for profit as well.  And many who enjoy creating and assembling scrapbooks may wonder just how they can get into scrapbooking as a business; since they enjoy the hobby so much, why not make a few dollars from it as well?

There are a few different ways you can enjoy scrapbooking as a business, both in person and online.  One is to sell scrapbooking supplies.  There have been many scrapbooking stores that have closed their doors lately but this doesn't mean that people just don't love the hobby anymore.  Usually the cost of an actual store is just too much for many people, so they instead enjoy scrapbooking as a business online.  You can easily represent a drop shipper, meaning a manufacturer and supplier of scrapbooking materials that does all the warehousing and shipping for you.  When you get an order from your website you turn around and send the information to your drop shipper.  They charge you a certain price for the order and shipping, so you just make sure that the prices on your website are something more than that - and you have your scrapbooking as a business that turns a profit!

Some people actually make up scrapbooks for others since many people love scrapbooks but are too busy or too creatively challenged to create their own.  This is a difficult way to enjoy scrapbooking as a business because it means contacting customers, discussing different ideas with them, and so on.  But it can be done if you get into contact with those who organize scrapbooking retreats or gatherings.

And that's the other way you can enjoy scrapbooking as a business.  Very often a scrapbooking supplier will have retreats or conventions advertised on their site but they don't typically plan these things by themselves.  They need someone that can organize a hotel or convention center, travel arrangements, and scrapbooking presentations and instructions to do this for them.  A good travel planner can then turn around and use scrapbooking as a business in this particular way; making arrangements and hosting such a retreat or convention that a supplier would advertise and get customers for.  These are just some ways that someone who loves scrapbooking can turn it into a career or money making endeavor, both online and in person.
