If you love to knit, starting a knitting business would probably be a dream come true for you. Who wouldn't love to earn money doing something they enjoy and are passionate about? And, luckily, there are many ways you can earn money knitting. One of them is teaching others.

Earning money teaching others to knit is easier than you'd imagine, largely thanks to the Internet. But, for every pro, there is a con.

When you are first starting your knitting business, you will probably want to start locally, in your own town. Finding students might be difficult in the beginning. But it's not impossible. Start with friends and family members who have expressed an interest in learning to knit.

After you've gotten some experience, hang some flyers around your neighborhood to let them know about your services. Also consider making up some business cards. These can come in handy on your next trip to the crafts store. You can also give them to friends and acquaintances, so they can give them to anyone they meet who might be interested in learning to knit from you.

If teaching students one on one isn't for you, or you can't find enough students locally to make as much money as you'd like to, consider using the Internet. This will allow you to reach thousands of potential students with minimal effort. Are you good at writing? Than you can write a "how to knit" ebook, filled with pictures and illustrations.

On the other hand, if you are more comfortable actually talking to people, and showing them the steps, you can hold teleseminars. For a small fee, students would sign up for weekly lessons. They could even interact with you, asking questions when something isn't clear.

If you are interested in starting a knitting business, teaching others to knit is definitely an option you should consider. Whether you teach local students, write and sell an instructional ebook, or hold a series of teleseminars, it is possible to make money from your passion for knitting.
