My goal is to cut your research time to a minimum by providing the best
resources - e-books, articles and tips - on the many aspects of selling
handmade jewelry from a home jewelry business.
The less time you spend searching for what you need, the more time
you'll have to make and sell your jewelry.
I've discovered through experience and extensive research, that
there are basically eight major processes to perform in preparation to sell
your handmade jewelry.
My experience is as a sole proprietor with a home based business, making
and selling jewelry part-time.
I'm not a lawyer or an accountant, and therefore will not offer such advice.
At some point though, you may want to consult either professional for help with your
business.
