Do you know what you don’t know?
The Discovery
I typically never go to networking type meetings, but I was at a women’s business networking group a few weeks ago with a friend who is much more of a joiner than I am, and I was surprised […]

Here’s a quick heads up for all you Etsy jewelry sellers. For the next week or so only (?) you can take a look at who is making lots of sales, top sales, and sales versus listings at Etsytools
Maybe all etsy sellers know about this already. I just came across it though and […]

I think Murphy shot me with his arrow…

I was doing so well! I was getting things done, I was feeling motivated, and I was more or less on top of my priorities (at least for scattered ol’ me anyway).

Then tragedy struck. You know what I’m talking about- whenever things start falling […]

I recently answered a question about enamelling and I thought I would share it here. If one person has a question, then others would too right?
Here it is: Question about enamel…?
I have started making jewelry & only like using good quality stones, esp when using 14k gold. Why did I just see a bracelet […]

Have you been wondering why I haven’t written anything lately?

I have been busily working on a brand new website that I am sooo excited about.

My new website, How-to-Make-Jewelry.com, has been a long time coming. I already have some pages and projects up, so check it out!

Here’s what’s up there so far:

I was sorting through my stash of saved forum posts and I came across a bunch of related threads I saved a while back. I’m not sure what forum this stuff came. Bad annotator!

Gems! Gems in this post! The post was about ideas for spreading the word about your business.

Let’s […]

I’m having a pretty crappy day today. My head hurts, I am feeling really exhausted and worn out. My third cup of coffee for the day. I needed some cheering up and I started goofing around on the net and I found this resource.
It didn’t cheer me up, but maybe it’ll cheer […]

Wouldn’t you like to learn how to skyrocket your home jewelry business success? What Jewelry Artist wouldn’t! I found a really mind opening E-book by Rena Klingenberg, Home Jewelry Business Expert and really-nice-lady.

What makes her book so earthshaking?

Rena has devised a really fascinating and low-key way to sell handmade jewelry that does the following:

*
It saves you from booth selling and all the costs and equipment entailed in that method selling
*
Her method allows you to keep 100% of RETAIL sales (rather than the 70% or 50% that you get from wholesaling or consignment.
*
You don’t have to give a percentage or give jewelry to a home party hostess so you don’t lose anything there.
*
Everything is casual and low-key (great for the more reserved Jewelry Artist. I know there are lots of us out there!)
*
AND her system details how you can make some real money selling One-of-a-Kind pieces and sets to the wealthier customer.
