From Hobby to Business: How I Turned Rug Thrifting into a Profitable Passion"

I never planned to start a rug thrifting business. It all began when I stumbled upon a beautiful, handwoven rug in a thrift store while looking for affordable home decor. At the time, I didn't know much about rugs, but something about its intricate design fascinated me. That single purchase sparked my curiosity, and I dove into research, learning about different types of rugs-Persian, Oriental, Moroccan-and how to identify authentic, handmade pieces.

After a few months of collecting rugs, I realized I had an eye for discovering unique finds. I sold my first rug online, and that's when it hit me-this could be more than just a hobby. I started sourcing rugs from thrift stores, estate sales, and auctions, gradually learning the ropes of pricing and selling. The process was full of trial and error, but each sale taught me something new.

As I grew more experienced, I realized there were many people out there, like me, who wanted to get into rug thrifting but didn't know where to start. That's when I decided to create my own Rug Thrifting Course, sharing my tips, techniques, and passion with others. Now, I sell the course online, helping others turn their love for thrifting into a profitable side business or personal passion.

The journey wasn't always easy-I faced challenges like sourcing quality rugs and learning how to market myself-but I've built a community of rug enthusiasts who are just as passionate as I am. Today, I'm proud to share my knowledge and guide others in discovering the hidden gems of the rug world.
