Thinking about the next step

Hello everyone, so I've been thinking about the next step to this process...selling the charms.  I'm going to open an Etsy account and sell some there along with other types of jewelry I make.  This will be a good starting point for me. I know there are plenty of these charm sellers on Etsy but hey everyone's got different styles and ideas so I figured what the heck I'll give it a try.

In case you're wondering what Etsy is...well, it's kind of like Ebay only for crafters and handmade goods.  You can find pretty much anything and everything under the sun there that's homemade or hand crafted. I love that website and found it completely by accident years ago and I've always wanted to try to sell my jewelry there.

I'm also thinking of selling them at maybe school bake sales where all the money will go to the school to help them out.  I spoke to my friend Kim, who is a member of the school fundraisers committee and she thinks it's a cool idea.  I mean technically they won't be baked goods but they might sell pretty good.

My daughter suggested I walk around my neighborhood with them and go door to door lol.  I said "what do you think? these are Girl Scout cookies or something?"  Hmmm it might not be such a bad idea lol.  But I'm definitely going to sell them on Etsy. I'm going to incorporate mine with jewelry I already make which includes gemstones, wire work and crystal beads.  I think they'll be very nice and completely different from the ones that others are selling on Etsy.

So that's my plan of action so far.  As I said to my friend Mai, if this takes off and these charms are a hit I might actually get somewhere.  I mean think of it, I have almost no overhead, my supplies are cheap and it takes almost no effort on my part to make them so the rest is just profit, profit, profit!!!
