Those of you who followed me on Myspace know that I was trying to start a business making glass blocks into night lights. Nearly 6 months later, that dream is starting to materialize! I have found a place that is willing to set up a table in their store for my light blocks and sell on consignment. The down side is, the store takes 40%. The upside is, it's a great way for me to advertise and since the blocks are custom made, I should make the majority of the money through people contacting me, though I can still provide the store with generic blocks. So what's the hold-up? Once again, I must blame my missing camera. I want to take pictures of every block I make so that I can begin to build a page on Facebook, and hopefully a website on Etsy. I have 3 blocks ready to go out the door, but I just can't part with them yet. I am also anticipating the arrival of my business cards! Yay! That sounds so professional! I will post the completed light blocks on here once I get a hold of a camera so you can get the word out for me! I'm getting excited. It would be so wonderful to earn a little extra money by doing something I love!
That is super cool. Have you tried Etsy.com to sell them also? That might be a good way.
ReplyDeleteHehehe! Thanks! Yes. I am holding off on selling online right now because I haven't figured out the best way to ship them. I need to do a little more research for the best (and cheapest) packing material for a glass block. I also want to start locally and see how it goes.
