Hello Moms!
I am trying to combine my interests to create a small business from my home. Would you be interested in hiring someone to create your family’s scrapbooks? I would offer scrapbooks of babies first couple years, family vacations, a child’s elementary school years, weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs….pretty much anything someone could think of! I have heard a lot of Moms with elementary age children say they still have not started their child’s baby book. I think I am on to something…but wanted to hear from real moms what you think.
I love to scrapbook, I have a masters degree in Social Work that is just not bringing in enough financially. My plan would be to show various samples and talk with the person wanting the scrapbook to really get the “feel” they wanted for the scrapbook.

If you were interested in this service:
What would you be willing to pay for a creative, artistic, scrapbook? Including all the supplies. Unlimited photos/pages

Any advice would be appreciated

I love to scrapbook! And my student loans are coming due soon and I am thinking of a way to make a little money while still having fun on the side. I would like to start a scrapbooking business on the side. I would have people give me their photos that they would like scrapbooked and charge a fee for creating either a page for them or their whole scrapbook. The fee would depend on how fancy they would like the page done. I would charge $5-$15 a page and then if they wanted a whole scrapbook i would charge a little extra to cover the cost of the book.

Is this a good idea? Or do you think this sounds to much like a seventh grade money making idea. I know a lot of people who love my scrapbooking and want me to do pages for them, but would someone pay for this? even someone they don’t know if they saw some example pages?
