Review

The first book geared to starting your own scrapbook-based business, [Secrets] is filled with practical information and inspirational tips... -- Memory Makers magazine, November/December 2000

From the Author

I had been scrapbooking for years, although with very limited, acidic supplies. Several years ago I discovered the "new wave" of scrapbooking, and, like so many others, became completely addicted. After observing the inspirational women in this business, most of whom were homemakers who turned their own passion into profit, I decided to put their stories into print. After hours of interviews with women and men successful in the industry, Secrets of Scrapbooking Success: Making Money, Making Memories - The Definitive Guide to Turning Your Passion Into Profit was born.

The book profiles seven women entrepreneurs and details the stages of their business development from conceptualization to present-day success. I also included chapters on six scrapbook-related businesses with in-depth information on each one.

Perhaps the best part about Secrets... is its inspirational element. It's gratifying that this book, and the information within, is able to inspire readers to follow their own passion in life. In fact, one of the women I interviewed went on to write a book similar to Secrets. It's great to be able to inspire others!

The companion guide to this book, entitled Memory Marketing: How to Successfully Promote and Publicize Your Scrapbooking Business, was written so that scrapbooking business owners can take charge of their business or service through a wide array of marketing techniques. It just came off the presses and will be available soon right here on Amazon. You can also check out the publishing company's official website, as it is updated frequently with tips, articles, and ideas, as well as a monthly sweepstakes. I wish you all good luck in your scrappin' careers!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Resource for Scrapbooking Entrepreneurs, May 22, 2000
This review is from: Secrets of Scrapbooking Success : Making Money, Making Memories (Paperback)
I had been thinking about getting into business using my scrapbooking skills, but I had no idea where to start. This book was an excellent resource! It compiles all the information you need to get started in several areas of scrapbooking businesses - opening a retail store, mail order, creating other people's pages, and more. The personal stories from women entrepreneurs who are succeeding in the scrapbooking world were really inspirational! I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to start a business using their scrapbooking skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Inspirational, June 12, 2000
This review is from: Secrets of Scrapbooking Success : Making Money, Making Memories (Paperback)
This book is very inspirational. The fact that most of these businesswomen started out as homemakers with no previous business background is incredible. It really makes me believe that if they can do it, so can I!
