Shoe making is a very good business to begin with and infact I know of someone who makes shoes and depends entirely on it. He made it a large scale business and even has workers who aid him in reaching the bulky and huge target he has in making of shoes.

So to begin a shoe business, you must have had the knowledge of how to make shoes. You may even start with Shoe mending and Shoe shining. With that, you can begin to make small money as you keep on learning how to make the shoes.

Then, you will after learning how to make shoes perfectly and making some good amount from shoe mending and shining, you will then secure the items needed for shoe making. You can begin making shoes for yourself and wearing them and by so doing advertise your brand. You can also make for a few influential people and they will help you advertise and soon you will find that a lot of people are patronizing you and you begin to earn huge money from Shoe making.

You probably have a lot of questions about starting a shoe business. The good news is that the process doesn't have to be complicated. Here are some general steps you can follow as you begin your new career:

1. Decide what kind of footwear you want to make.

2. Choose a suitable location for your business and consider hiring help if necessary.

3. Design a logo and develop marketing materials, including promotional items such as T-shirts or stickers with your company's name and logo on them.

4. Open your business bank account and apply for insurance coverage from an insurance company or self-insure through the Small Business Administration (SBA), if applicable in your state or territory (see Resources).

5. Hire employees who are knowledgeable about shoes and willing to work for low wages, but don't expect too much from them at first because these people may leave at any time without notice (see Resources).

To start a shoe making business, one would need a workshop or studio space that suits their needs, a stock of materials and tools such as needles, thread, and lace (depending on the product), a list of suppliers and customers for materials, as well as an understanding of how to market their products. For those who are creative enough to design shoes but not skilled at making them themselves, sourcing good-quality and professional shoe makers is also important.

One resourceful businesswoman has taken advantage of this need by catering to entrepreneurs with little time or other resources to start selling customized shoes online. Not only does she handle all the marketing work so they don't have worry about it; she also provides photos so they can have an idea what their finished product will look like in use. As an added service, she also makes their shoes for them, if they are up for it.

One of the advantages of shoe making is that there are several ways to showcase one's handiwork. For some, this is more important than making a lot of money. This could be because of their purpose in launching their own business or because they are just interested in creating something that they can use and enjoy. At the very least, having a shoe line or product helps to enhance the possibility of finding a customer base in future.
