hey sweetie ..how's ur day? thanks for the comment u left on my page..
here's a book i'm reading..idiot's guide to selling your crafts by chris franchetti michaels
though i've been doing since 1999, i just like to get update info on jewelry biz info.
i know it covers basics, but it gives new ideas for up to date biz info..check it out if u have the time
one of the websites that was mention was 1000markets.com, but that was sold and renamed http://www.bonanza.com it's similar to etsy and it's sounds like another venue you might want to consider...i looked at it and it helps with search engines which promote ur page or store if u will and it's legit..
this another website , which is mention here on this site for more helpful ideas and rena does email back on questions u might have..http://www.home-jewelry-business-success-tips.com/home-based-jewelry-business.html
i have a bit of a few months to get things organized with my stuff, i thinking of doing both sites. it doesn't hurt to have a few selling sites, just make references to them and go from there. also consider a facebook page as a business for ur designs. i have one
go to facebook.com and look up .. forevrgoddess boutique or norma g clark and see what i have it's simple and easy to do.. drop a note when u have time
hey if u ever want to chat about biz info or designs...leave me a note on my page ok? forevrgoddess
