Starting My Own Business:

Thought's Requested: 
I'm debating on starting up my own homebased business to earn some side money... but what to do that won't break the bank to start: 

      

    As a mother of well seven going on eight finding work these days after covid-19 has been well damn near fucking impossible. Especially since most people don’t believe in the vaccine take me for example, I REFUSE to put that DRUG in my body that clearly hasn’t been tested enough and well that’s a topic for another post. Then again so if finding childcare that isn’t going to well cost me my damn arm, leg, and fucking kidney. I have three boys who live in Massachusetts with my first ex-husband, and I must say he’s great person and good friend. WE co-parent very well, and I just believe I met his GF on video chat with my son’s if I’m not mistaken but hey life is life, and it is what it is. She seemed very nice and I’m glad he’s finding his happiness. I’m happy that they live in Massachusetts that state is a little more put together medical and school wise and well children living situation wise again that’s for another post on another day. Let’s get fuckin’ back on track to what I was talking about and that was starting my own homebased business that I can pass down to my children mainly my son Phoenix. I want them to feel very important in my life and that this is something that they can do when they get older.

            I personally have been thinking of something that I can do that can allow me to do my own marketing as well as help other companies market their businesses. One friend told me to get a Cricut system and do my own trinkets and such. Although it’s not a bad idea the start up for that is like alone $2000.00 if you want to do it correctly from the machine, the press, the mug press, and even just getting some vinyl and blanks to work with. I mean I truly and really do like that idea especially since I can make things for my TEAMPLJ and TEAM PHOENIX. I can than just create myself and do it myself keep the profit. I did create an online store that allows people to get pre-made designed things that I can’t do at this moment and time, and I make a little of the $ from it and I am just going to poor that money into this business. Then I was told do something more creative with my photography. Again, that requires things that I don’t have a lot of although I do have one of more expensive things the CAMERA and an ok printer but if I wanted to do something more, I’d need a better printer and to have my desktop operational. I was also thinking AVON or Tupperware, but times are changing so fast that I don’t even think people truly buy that shit anymore. I see ads for Avon but that is about it the new make-up trend is SIENT and it’s really, nice totally worth the $$ you pay for it. Then Tupperware that is an old thing that faded out years ago when I tried to sell it back in 2011/2012, I believe. Like for fuck shake times change so fast you must be able to adapt and change with it like with this business of doing trinkets and such I can change with the client's needs and adapt to the new trending things.

            Once you even get the idea of creating such a business you need to think about the shipping costs, fuel used to get items to the post office or shipping place, you must think of the cost of materials, and blanks then setting that damn price and keep it semi friendly but enough that you get to make a little profit out of each item.

So, here’s my basic list if I was to do a Cricut Homebased Business:

Ø  Cricut (Walmart Bundle: $238.48) (Amazon Bundle: $259.99 but comes with a few more items than the Walmart Bundle)  

Ø  HTV Heat Transfer Vinyl Bundle *WALMART* $27.95

Ø  Cricut Weeding Tool Kit $13.89

And that’s just some of the stuff if I want the following could you imagine the prices

v  T-Shirts

v  Hoodies

v  Tank-Tops

v  Cell Phone Cases (those would have to be an additional cost due to being specifically done for your phone

v  Mug and Tumblers

v  Coasters (Again that’s a dying thing not many people use those)

v  Key Chains

v  Bags

v  Aprons

v  Hats

v  Jackets

v  Pet Clothing

v  Ornaments

    And the list goes on and on because I constantly keep thinking of amazing things to do! But no one will back me in helping me. Which is sad because I know that this is a business that will pop very well in the state of Maine due to high traffic of tourism. So now I’m just doing some research and plotting out a few things. I mean in June of 2022 state of Maine is issuing $850 relief checks to Maine residents and I qualify which means I’m getting $850.00 to get caught up in some bills. So, with that I’m going to maybe get a Cricut bundle and start small if people buy some shirts, tank-tops, and hoodies and maybe a blanket I can then make a small profit and build from there. I really don’t have a desire to go crazy fancy just yet because I must make sure I can do this, school, and such. I have will not fucking say no way from the start all TRY FIRST and if I don’t succeed, I’ll set my stuff take the money and repay those who helped or just put it towards something from the beginning. I mean I’m logical not anti-logical although people will have to pay for their items up front so I can get the stuff logically. Since I don’t have built in stock. I’m willing to start at the bottom and work my way up. I am tired though of people who try to act and be me stealing my ideas although I know that it isn’t a secret when I tell people and it gets around. Just sucks that they have go out and get the shit before me and attempt to make money for my ideas and thoughts. Really grinds me damn gears and will one day come back to bite them in the ass. And yes, I’m fucking swearing  don’t get your damn panties in a twist that is who I am this is my blog I will write how I see fucking fit. With that I’m going to create a bank online where they can send payments, or I’ll have to use CASHAPP and send money to that account and figure out PAYPAL or Venmo. I want to try to be accommodating as possible but not accept checks unless from big corporations that I know can back it up. So, I guess I’ll look at the “AFTERPAY, ZIP and one other buy now pay overtime apps that I have” or just do a onetime charge to my bank account! Watch me grow this and survive 2022 with minimal income!
