So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Developing Recipes For Sale Can Become A Home Business

By Myrtle Cash


If you have a real love of cooking and baking, creating recipes for sale could be a great means of earning some extra income. In the beginning, you might just be trying to earn some supplemental income, but this business venture could very well become a full time from home income. It's an extremely inexpensive home based business idea.

Selling recipes won't require you to have to cook anything, other than when you are testing a new recipe. This means you won't need to keep an inventory on hand and the supplies you will need to purchase are limited. The only items you would need to buy are ingredients during the testing phase.

Your creations can be sold individually or packaged and sold in book form. Both methods have a good potential for earning income, as long as you market them right. Providing consumers with a variety of different mediums for purchase can also help boost sales. Some examples you might consider are PDF, e-book, paper back and compact disc.

Pricing is also an important element of success. If you price your products too low, customers won't appreciate their value. If you price your products to high, people will for a comparable and cheaper option else where. Finding the right middle ground for price shows the market that your products hold a lot of value, but are still affordable.

The type of rights you will grant with your products will also be important for determining earning potential. Since you are the original creator, it is your decision whether or not to allow buyers to republish your creations. You can charge a higher premium if you all republishing though. Exclusive rights grants the purchaser the right to republish without giving you credit. Limited rights grants the purchaser rights to republish only if they give you credit for creating the work.

Themed collections tend to sell better than random compilations. A book with many different cookie or cake recipes would be more appealing to the consumer. Among the most popular compilation themes are slow cooker recipes, freezable recipes and those that target a specific dietary restriction. Gluten free and allergy friendly options are good choices for this category.

When you're ready to sell, you can list your works on several different sites or you could create your own website instead. Marketing locally is also an option by displaying your product at festivals and trade shows. Both attract paying customers, but online sales do take a little more work. When selling from your own website, you will need to work on promotion and marketing so people can find you. When selling on e-commerce sites you will also need to do some marketing to draw web traffic to your products.

Creating recipes for sale is an easy way to start your own business. It requires little more than a working knowledge of cooking, a little creativity and a computer to get started. With such a low start up cost, profit can be earned more quickly than with other types of home based businesses.
