Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

Initially, more time was spent on learning the craft, sourcing materials, and setting up an online store or local sales channels. This included researching recipes, testing products, and creating branding. As the business grew, time shifted towards production, packaging, marketing, and handling customer inquiries. The time commitment was higher upfront and decreased as processes became streamlined. Online communities often mention that the time investment can vary widely based on sales volume and marketing efforts, with some people spending more time on marketing and others on production.
