Face Painting: A Great Home Business For Moms ~ Face Painting Business

Many stay-at-home moms search for a flexible, home-based way to earn a little
extra money. Although it may sound like an unusual career path, becoming a
Professional Face Painter could be just the ticket many moms are looking for.
Why?

Face Painting = Happiness
What other business can you own where your job is to make a kid smile? Face
Painting is a fantastic way to spread smiles, allow kids to be individuals and to
express your own creativity.

Investment
For under $50.00, a beginner’s “toolbox” of face painting supplies can be
purchased. This cost pales in comparison to some of the financial commitments
that are encouraged when starting other businesses or purchasing the inventory
to sell at craft shows, etc. And it’s never a waste to purchase face painting
supplies because your kids will love them as much as you do! Don’t be surprised
if they offer to paint you sometime.

Training
As in most things in life, the best way to learn is by doing. Once you’ve
purchased the appropriate face paints, brushes and other supplies, start
painting. There are e-books available to you as well as professional face
painters, who network on the Internet, ready and anxious to share their
knowledge and advice on getting started and building your business.

Marketing
Armed with a few hundred business cards, a camera and your face painting
masterpieces as your promotional tools, your marketing efforts can bloom. By
volunteering to face paint for friends, neighbors, school, etc., you have the
ability to begin booking paid events quite quickly.

Conclusion
This overview of the opportunity to become a Professional Face Painter is not
an attempt to oversimplify the business of Professional Face Painting. The great
face painters of the world practice their craft extensively, train with the best
instructors and meticulously maintain their accounting records and booking
calendars.

For a mom or even a creatively inclined college student, face painting is a
business that should be considered. Work where and when you want. Establish
your pricing structure based on your own market. Maintain the flexibility
needed to care for your own children. And make a little extra income for your
efforts.
