General Discussion / Need some advice
« on: September 26, 2011, 06:34:01 PM »
I need some advice about running a business.  Now I don't have one yet but would like to have one in the future.  I love creating and selling jewelry and if I could do that as a job, well, that would just be awesome!!  The problem is, is that I have no idea how to start a business or even generate a monthly income off of it.  I have so many ideas that I could put to work but don't because not enough people buy my stuff even though people say it's pretty.  I don't know if it's this crappy economy or what.  My prices are reasonable.  I don't have anything listed over $50 and I never have.  I attended 1 craft show last year and made $135 from it.  I have another one I am attending this weekend and hope I do just as well or better.  Any advice you got about running a business is really appreciated.  Thank you :)

Hello.  My name is Amber.  I started making jewelry 2 years ago.  I love it.  I hope to someday turn it into my own business.  I love creating new things.  I am a natural artist.  It comes very easy to me.  I think it up in my head and put it to work.  I really love to sell my creations.  Not just for the money but for the good feeling I get from someone who likes it enough to buy it.  I try my best to keep my prices reasonable. 

Now about me.  I have 3 kids.  My daughter has also started making jewelry too :)  I am currently a stay at home mom but am looking for work.  I attend craft shows when I can.  I did my first one last year and loved it!!  I also love to have my coffee in the morning  ;)
