Embellishment Scrapbook

How much money do (can) professional digital scrapbookers make?

How much do you make selling your digital scrapbook kits or other digital scrapbook services? I would like to scrap-for-hire, but I am also curious if the profits are worth the time to sell kits…papers, embellishments, etc. I’m sure it varies by quantity of products and where you are selling (either in a private store or with lots of other designers), but any vague price range someone out there can offer on your own success?

Creative Memories offers amazing potential for this! Storybook Creator Plus software is the best out there, and so much cheaper than anything else. It just won Creating Keepsakes Magazine’s Reader’s Choice Award.

Personally, I’ve been hired to make traditional scrapbooks, but I have Consultant friends (teammates) who have done a variety of digital scrapbooks (Storybooks) for customers.

You either want to charge per project, or per hour. Remember, though, that you may have to scan in lots of photos and memorabilia. You could offer this option as well.

The nice thing with digital Storybooks is that they are easily reproducible. So you can make them for a Little League team, and just swap out a few of the pics to focus on each player. Or make a heritage album that several family members will want to purchase.

You can get started with Creative Memories this way: http://www.mycmsite.com/sites/jenhurst/join-team/get-started.

You don’t have to join in order to use the Storybook Creator Plus software, but it’s a terrific company to be a part of! And you’ll find TONS of free support.

Hope that helps!
