It has been brought to my attention that I finally need to bite the bullet and turn my jewelry making hobby into an all-out, honest-to-goodness business. The fact that complete strangers keep asking me if I make jewelry to sell was a pretty good clue, really.
"Make a business," you ask? "But you can barely maintain a blog!"
And right you are!
The problem is that I have an inherent fear of accounting (it's a numbers thing... I don't do numbers), and anything remotely related to a decent business plan requires quite a fair bit of taking a long hard look at the numbers and making sure the business is on target to make the profits required to keep the business viable. I should also point out that I do carry a full-time job, which I like pretty well, and there's very little time in my life for a second full-time job.
Q: "What does this mean?"
A: I HAVE NO CLUE. Ideally, following through on the commitment for this blog would be nice. I don't expect to be 'viral,' as it were, nor do I want to deal with the hassles of advertisements and making a profit off of the blog itself. I just want to show people beautiful artisan jewelry, and maybe give a couple tips along the way.
Hopefully I'll be doing more of that in the coming months.
