Selling what you make is the other half of the battle. But it's so important that, depending on the product, the sales person or sales and marketing channel may make most of the money from the transaction.
Selling also tells you what to make and what price to charge. So when the manufacturer and sales person are the same person, selling also provides valuable market intelligence.
Usually though the best creators are not the best marketers and a third person is needed to keep the books!
So what can you sell today to make some money?
From the Wilson Times
Flora Newton, 6, of the New Hope 4-H Club, was making jewelry and displaying it on a stand on top of her table.
Newton, a seasoned salesperson who has sold jewelry at Wells Elementary School where she attends classes, said business was pretty good Saturday.
"My mother is a jewelry maker, and it made me want to do it," Newton said.
Her mother, Julia, said the extravaganza was a good chance for her daughter and the other youths to learn about business and to show people how jewelry was made.
At a nearby booth, Anna Sullivan and her sister Grace were selling their handmade earrings and necklaces.
"This has been good," Anna said. "Better than I expected."
Her mother, Betsy, agreed.
"I think it is a good opportunity for them," she said. "It shows them the ups and downs of the business world."
