Need ideas for a craft site - how to monetize

Hello, all!

I have a craft niche site I am working on.

This is a unique/unusual craft (that I love and am passionate about) and there is a twist - it can be insanely profitable if done the right way. (We aren't talking about plastic canvas Kleenex covers here. )

The blog will give free tips on how to make a profitable business from this craft.



So here are the ideas I have so far:
  • Freebie to get them to join mailing list - directions for projects, general newsletter.
  • $7 item - large package of project ideas that are profitable and unique.
  • $17 item - Guide for setting up a profitable business for the craft/niche.
  • $27 item - One year of a specific newsletter/membership geared towards people wanting to make a living doing this - renewable yearly.
  • $97 item - One year of specific newsletter, project ideas, business tips, etc.
Is there anything you can think of that I could add? Anything I missed?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    It looks like you've got it covered but you might want to consider
    including affiliate offers from the various craft/hobby websites for
    supplies and tools, Amazon for how-to books and affiliate craft
    magazine subscriptions.

    You may want to link exchange/cross promote with other craft
    site owners and/or sell advertising space.

    And you could always add a paid discussion forum.

    You could possibly turn it into a membership site for something like $9.97 or $14.97 a month.
