That is from a bar crawl our event photographer Kaite worked on. She brought passports to that event, sold them as part of the event merch, and made an additional >$500 on something she was already doing. WIN. WIN.
Sign up to sell Craft Notes Passports
Essentially: You are getting passports ‘on credit’ from Craft Notes at a wholesale price, selling them on your own, paying for what you sell, and then returning whatever you don’t. The “costs” of fulfillment are yours, but your margins can be huge
More about how this works
Similar to our Affiliate Program, (where you promote sales of our books and collect a commission) and our Events Team (where you go to events we set up). Only here, YOU are setting up the events and handling the fulfillment all yourself.
The biggest benefit is that you can do this on your own time at fun things, or just earn extra money fulfilling your job duties (ie. Buying gifts for all you staff/team) or personal activities (ie. Your Kickball Team).
I’m in! I want to sell Craft Notes.

INDEPENDENT SALES FAQ
I’m an individual that might do this. Any ideas for how I can sell these and how much I could make?
It all varies on you and we encourage you to try other things. Here is what we’ve found is a great way to do it is 4-5 hour events:
- Beer Fests (20-100 passports)
- Block Parties (30-120 passports)
- Holiday Markets/Art Fests (60-200 passports)
- Farmers Markets (10-50 passports)
- Random Pop-ups
- Business networking events
- Your Kickball team (20 passports)
- Your ideas….?
What is my “cost” and WHO would this work for?
Passports price $25-30 will be provided at $15-17.50, “your cost”
Sell them…
- PEOPLE THAT LIKE PARTIES…
- To friends at a discount so you can all party together
- To your kickball team
- To your email list
- At a brewery; Show up for 2 hours, have some beer, buy one for anyone that buys a book.
- BANDS, MARKET SELLERS, EVENT HOSTS…
- Better than carrying major inventory! Sell these are market events you are already a part of
- Add them to your event/band’s merch list
- CHARITIES/GROUPS as a fundraiser
- Great fundraising items supports you and the local economy!
Examples.
- MAKE $30-60/Hour for having a few beers!

– Costs: You buy each person a drink (6 beers x $6ea; $36)
– Book cost (6 books at $15ea; $90) - Extra $200 at your event!
Your Band/Event has a merch table… So you put Craft Notes out next to your CD’s, maybe give a little shoutout during the event.

What are the Expectations? Do I have minimum’s?
Not really. But we’d like you to be active.
If you only want to do this once around the holidays (when you make the most) this is fine. But most people, we’d like to see selling ~20/month (which can be done in 1 event per month)
It’s all negotiable. The key is that we are both happy.
How is Event Team Different from Independent Sales?
Event Team – More designed for cool people that like Craft Notes. Gets paid hourly to show up and help us at events we set up.
Independent Sales – More designed for leaders of groups, charities, or someone that wants to set up their own events and work on their own schedule.
Can I be part of the other CN Ambassador Programs?
YES!
We invite you to be an ambassador, affiliate, or whatever you’d like. We are just trying to give options to people who love our mission and want to lend a hand, as well as support charities and other organizations that can support book sales and the community.
