Having a Digital Scrapbooking Business

HOW TO HAVE A DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING BUSINESS . . . 
. . . without taking photoshop classes, or even having design experience. 


Do you love taking photos?
Do you love the idea of creating digital projects with your photos, like photo books and canvas prints?
Do you love to give unique gifts to family and friends?
Do you love to make friends and travel?

Why not make money while doing all the above.



Heritage Makers provides the opportunity to share you love of preserving your photos and makes it easy to both create your own custom keepsakes, as well as help others do the same.


What is Heritage Makers?
It's an online digital scrapbooking website/program.  It's not just a place to print your creations ... but a ONE STOP solution.  You upload and store your photos, have access to over 10,000 templates and 90,000 pieces of professional high quality digital art (that can be FREE), share your project online, and then have it printed and shipped to you.

With Heritage Makers, ANYONE can start doing digital scrapbooking without having to purchase software, like photoshop elements or creative memories.

WHAT you do as a Heritage Maker Business Owner:
Once you decide to have a Heritage Makers Business it's up to you to set your own schedule and to build your business.  Here are some different activities that many Heritage Makers Consultants do:

* Spread the word about Heritage Makers.  Our adorable photo bags make it super easy to start conversations wherever you're at.  You'll have people approach you and ask you about your cute bag.  Follow-up your conversations by inviting that person to meet with you or come to an event. Don't think you are good at talking with people??  It's easy when it's something you love!

* Set up demos and appointments with people you meet.  Spend 30 minutes showing them a demo of the Heritage Makers website, go over the products, and help them get started.  You can do these demos in person (at a home, starbucks, mcdonalds- any where there is wifi/internet) OR even online!  I often to online demos in the evening once my kids are in bed.

* Hold larger workshops.  Invite a hostess to get 5-7 friends together for a Digital Publishing Workshop.  Bring a few sample books and products and help them decide which projects to start with.

* Sell crafts created with Heritage Makers products.  So, maybe you are the crafty type?  With our scrapbook pages and amount of digital art, there's no limit to the fun things you can create and sell.  I will sell craft blocks at vendor shows and also sell prints through my etsy shop.



* Work with groups, organizations, teams and schools. You can collaborate with parents to create a team season book or a class yearbook.  While these books or posters make great gifts for coaches, you can offer them for sale to the other parents.  Parents love having a customized "scrapbook" for their child that they didn't even have to create.  I personally work with over a dozen teachers, helping them to offer this unique book for their classes. Here's a sample of one book:  Kindergarten AM


* Scanning Service.  So many people are overwhelmed with the number of printed photos they have stored.  As a consultant you can add scanning to your list of services.  Simply have clients drop off photos, and pay you to scan them with our super fast Kodak scanners that can scan 30 photos/min.

* Design for Hire.  While not all consultants do this, if you enjoy creating projects, offer to design books and projects for your clients.  You can charge either a project fee or an hourly fee.  Many consultants charge up to $25-$30/hr.

* Hold Digi Crops: Fun social nights where clients and anyone interested in checking it out can come and bring their laptop and start creating right away.
