Every stay-at-home mom wants a sideline to help her husband provide the needs of her family. On of the top sideline ideas of moms is to create her own jewelry and to sell it. Why would a woman want to pursue in jewelry making as a sideline? First, every woman loves jewelry. It's kind of hitting two birds in one stone. You got to create something you want and you can even earn money for creating and selling the jewelries. Jewelries and accessories are a sure hit to sell to busy moms, busy office girls, busy people around the neighborhood and in the Internet.

How to start your own jewelry making business (business doesn't mean you need a shop)

Prepare yourself by checking out physical stores and online stores. Get some ideas by observing the jewelries they sell.
If you don't know how to create a jewelry, enroll on a jewelry making class or seminar. Sometimes, classes and seminars do have guides on where to get your jewelry making supplies.
Now that you know how to make one, list down the materials that you need, from the hook to the beads and everything that would be in your line of designs.
Create a few accessories to show your friends and neighbors.
Now you got a jewelry business.

But what about the selling and marketing? There are so many ways to tell the world on how to sell your very own created jewelries.
Social networking. If you doesn't have a Facebook account, it's time to create one! Upload your jewelries and tag your friends so they would be informed that you are on the selling business (or sideline). Their friends might also see your creations. That's free advertising.
Forums are one of the great ways to announce your intention. If you are selling jewelries for female or even for male, the best forum to register and create a forum post is on female related forums. Just make sure that you are allowed on such advertising. Don't forget about creating a signature. It's the signature that shows on every forum post and comment you make.
Email signature will gain customers too. Just set it up and all the emails you send and forward would have your business information.
Create a website and post your creations. If you don't want to buy a web host and a domain, you can create a free blog on Blogger or Wordpress and treat it as a website.
When you go to parties or meet-ups with your friends, make sure you wear a set of your creations. It's the best way to tell them that you are wearing a set that you are proud of. Your girlfriends might ask where you get the set. Then you announce, you started your jewelry business. I'm sure they would ask to take a peek on the collections you have created.

Remember, it's a step by step process to start a jewelry making business/sideline, or any kind of money making business. You just need to have patience on the steps that you would be doing. A solid mind of believing that you are in the business is also a key factor to start a business of your own.
