Craft Magazines

Craft Magazines are another great source of inspiration!!.
I have found this great place that has a huge inventory of craft magazines, business magazines... any type of magazines!..here are some examples of some crafts and hobby magazines, there are many more if you click on the above link and check it out!
 
Traditional Quilter (Risk-Free, 90-Day Trial)
 
PaintWorks (Risk-Free, 90-Day Trial)
 
Craftworks (Risk-Free, 90-Day Trial)
 
Knit 'N Style (Risk-Free, 90-Day Trial)
Magazines usually have tons of pictures and although you should NEVER copy anything, they will quite often give you ideas and tips on crafting techniques and will give you some inspiration to come up with some of your own ideas!

Also check them out for the magazines you currently get, see what deals on subscriptions you can get!...
Another addition to your craft business income, could be to write a article for a craft or hobby magazine.. If you have a craft technique or idea you would like to share, then take a look at the editorial section and see who you should write to. Send them a letter or email with your idea or request and they should let you know the requirements for an article and whether your idea or technique is something of interest for their magazine or publication..
Keep in mind, that they will often get you to sign a contract, that you will not send this article to any other magazine or publication and that they own it.. as long as you are aware of the rules, this could be a good extra money maker for you and also get you known!
