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.

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.
