Some people are natural born scribers while others develop the skill over time.  Some take classes, study with experts or some learn on their own. 

   As a special gift, you can turn this talent and hobby into a business for yourself.  The possibilities are endless!  Addressing envelopes for wedding invitations or Christmas cards.  Developing your own cards to have printed and sell.  Artistic ventures for individuals.  Customized art work, lettering and signage.

  Hand Calligraphy brings a warm, personal feel to others. While computer-generated lettering may be uniform-looking and suitable for some events, I believe that talent at hand-lettering makes a much stronger impression on others. People seek this kind of specialized talent and service. So much is performed by computers these days, that it is becoming harder to find those who offer this service. Be one that does and capture the market in your area!

          There are advantages to having a home-based business.  You can use it as an avenue for extra income, a way of saving money on the side and providing you with freedom.   Something to consider: what if you were to become laid off from your current job and had little to fall back on?  Having a side-business that you could always expand provides a little insurance for you.  In the unsure times of today, more people are turning homeward to make a living.

    In the materials offered, the path to working at home as a calligrapher is discussed. It looks at the business aspect of your talents as a scriber.  Your kit includes 

	Business Plan Start-up Workbook
	ü20 Page Business Proposal Example
	Accepting online payments at low fee rates
	Product ideas   These are "self-directed" materials whereby home study, homework and development are required; complete the  workbook section at your own pace.    NOTE:  This package is for those desiring to initiate the stages of setting up their business and who already has some talents and skills in lettering/calligraphy.     Let's get you started!

 

If you can dream it, you can make it happen!
