Greeting Card Jobs From Home

Greeting Card Companies Hiring

Believe it or not, working for a greeting card company is a hot topic. Even hotter – being able to work for one right from home. I'm going to make an embarrassing admission here. I have tried twice to write for a greeting card company. And I'm a girl with NOTEBOOKS of poems. I've been writing poems since about 9th grade. I've also written several songs. (I play guitar as well.) BUT — my submissions to each greeting card company was turned down. Now, I wasn't devastated – because they were pretty clear what they wanted. And I understand they get probably so many submissions it would blow are minds. But there was a part of me that was kind of like, “Awwww man…..”

But greeting companies need more than just writers. They also need illustrators. And… on top of that, they need merchandisers to make sure their cards are displayed correctly and current in retail stores.

So, greeting card jobs are much more than just “catchy poems” – and greeting card jobs from home can encompass a lot more than what you think. And because I feel like many of my readers would be interested in all the different kinds of jobs associated with greeting card companies that allow us to work from home, or in some respects, work that is flexible and lets you be in charge to a certain degree.

Below is a list of greeting card jobs from home organized into categories to help you go right to what interests you. I'll update when I find new companies and jobs – so bookmark this page and come back often.

– This is one that I tried to submit to and failed – but that doesn't mean you will! They love original, unique and genuine ideas. Their submission page states: “Rhymed poetry, religious verse, one-liners, or humor.” Regarding payments, they pay “$300 per poem for the worldwide, exclusive rights to publish it on a greeting card and other products, and $50 per poem for one-time use in a book.”
