Just working hard so I can begin selling. I have finished stringing and I am bagging. Each bag gets one pendant, with deluxe leather adjustable cord, I stick one small sticker on the back of each pendant which says lostjewels.com, then a lost jewels sticker and then the "you have been chosen" card, along with another card explaining word-of-mouth advertising.
I need to make up new cards for each of the ten different ones I will be selling on the website. I got my federal tax ID number and am waiting on my state tax ID number.
I am waiting for my new passport so I can get NY drivers licence.
I started quick-books but still need to open a business bank account.
Its so strange how quick you think it is to start-up a business, but it just keeps taking forever and ever. I feel like I get a little bit closer with every day of work. I hope all of the work pays off in the end, but it kinda seems like a big crap-shoot.
I would like to get some video of me working on my stuff and post it here because I do everything out of an 8' x 9' room. I like to call it the worlds tinniest factory. I think that might be interesting to people to see how much I do out of such a small space.
I also need to finish the website. I have decided to only start with 10 pendants for sale and twice a year, add new products, such as earrings, bracelets and necklaces. I feel like if I wait to launch until I have more products, it will take too long.
I set a goal start date for OCT 1st. I think I can get all the things that need to be done, finished by that date. Then I get to take the long awaited walk of giving away pendants!
Most people think I am crazy to just give them away, but I think its like spending advertising money instead, and I also think it is something different that could create a buzz about it.
I love the idea and I am so excited to implement it.
