Follow Your Passion

I have always had a love for jewelry making but was a full-time elementary school teacher for 9 years and only had the time to do it during the summer months.

When I had my son, I decided to be a stay at home mom and take some time off from the classroom. When he was about a year old, I decided to turn my jewelry making hobby into a business.

I created a website selling my designs.

It still is new and is not exactly taking off so to speak but I have seen a pick-up in sales since I have set up an advertising account with Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc.

Also advertising on Facebook has helped.

I have started jewelry parties and that has been great, along with bringing my designs to various gifts stores and boutiques to sell some jewelry!

With a little faith in yourself and determination, you can do anything as long as you follow your passion!

I also reccommend looking at Rena Klingenberg's website for wonderful tips on starting a jewelry business!

Thank you Rena!!!!

Making Your Own Success
by: Rena

It's great to hear about all the things you're doing to get your jewelry business off and running.

Also lovely that it looks like your jewelry will enable you to stay home with your son!

I find that proactively trying all kinds of ways to sell your work (such as you're doing) can really help you make rapid progress in growing your jewelry business.

I wish you every success!

Also, thank you so much for your kind words, Jaime! They are much appreciated. :o)
