Hi everyone,
Just got back from the market, not the best day but it's going well this week so far.
Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments about moving the jewellery forward, it is so kind of you and very much appreciated. This is truly a wondefrul forum with amazing people on it, although we haven't yet met I like to think of you all as much valued friends, thanks guys!
Debbie that is so kind of you it sounds great, Iam looking forward to looking at your website. I have thought of a website for the jewellery and ebay store, but not sure if I would have to drop my prices, especially on ebay as there is so many people doing it. I have some very good suppliers and can buy quality at very low prices. Another option I'm considering is going into supplies, as I have so many people coming up to me asking where I get my things from, yeah right like I'm going to say. But it has made me think that maybe I could move into supplying as well as making, best of both worlds, as I already have started supplying some things to traders. It's just the money needed to expand, not in that position unfortunately, which is a shame as I have some good ideas, or like to think so.
I do actually have a website selling movie memorabilia (screen used costumes and props), and an ebay store selling the same, another idea that was going to make lots of money, but didn't, ohh well. It's all still there and selling a couple of things now and then but nowhere near anything like an income, and I don't have the money to keep buying more items, so catch 22. I built the website myself from an Actinic template, and I'm proud of it but as I was getting very little response I started selling on ebay, but the costs are high. It's a shame as I enjoy the movie memorabilia, and wished it had taken off more as you can come across some good items and can make some good money, if you are selling enough on a regular basis, the strength of any business, which keeps eluding me. The movie stuff is fun, but I think I need to concentrate on the jewellery as I'm determined to make it work. Got to keep positive, will be better when all this is off my back, but I will not let it grind me into the ground. I have to say that a couple of weeks ago and last week even I felt so low I just couldn't face going to the market, I felt like a zombie. I actually didn't turn in last Monday I felt sick with it all and wanted to just give up. But this forum and all the help and support I have had from you all has been amazing and really turned me around, and got me back on my feet! Thanks again guys, going for a nice soak in the bath now and play with my rubber duckie!
Speak soon
Best wishes to you all
Mike.
