From Trash to Cash: the £100 to 10K Dribble thread, Part Deux

Glad you got it sorted Evenstar- well done!

Saucy whichever you decide that logo will work perfectly- I love it! As for the jewellery I am pretty useless at promotion, I have the two local weddingshops that stock the jewellery but apart from that I'm a bit too chicken to do anything, for example I could approach the local paper to do an article but I could never go through with it- I have anxiety and depression ( currently being treated) so anything like that is my worst nightmare. I tried adverts in a wedding mag, cost me £400 in total with no return from it. So am a bit stuck really!

Got me worried there Wayne! It wasnt me- think it was Mummyandpaige?!

How are you doing- website going ok?

Oh may be i get you mixed up:o. Err well ive made a list of what sizes colours im ordering, so basically once stuff arrives im more or less ready to 'open'.
Im reading the 'how to run an online business for dummies' for tips, and that seems a good book so its coming on.:beer:

mabel - press releases/publicity I can do, can I help? If you are ok just liaising with me we could work something out I am sure.

I don't know if any of my local papers would be interested...I thought about contacting the Warwick Courier but I'd have no idea what to say.

Wanna work for me Nix? :P

That book sounds great Wayne- think I might get a copy!

Thanks Nixi- I'm fine conversing by email etc ( with press etc) but doing anything face to face or on the phone scares the living wotsit out of me! I really have no idea what it would involve or more importantly what it would cost lol!
If you could pm me a rough idea of what it's all about I would be very grateful- it's a whole new scary world for me! Thanks hun.

Woooop just sold something on Ebay! Urgh that means I have to go to the post office tomorrow ha ha I'm never happy!!

nixinixi - nope, wasnt me

Course Saucy!!! Once you have your website up and running we can do a media launch!! Asyou are also based in Brum we could always contact Bham Post, Evening Mail etc!!!!!!

HopeAndDriftWood

Yay! OH suggested I try the media but I get really anxious. Especially on the phone... I can't answer it, and most of the time I don't, lol. So I really appreciate the help

Yay Mabel! Was it something interesting? I might list some cards on Ebay and see if they get me any website traffic...doubt they will sell on there, lol

Mabel - I'll pm you tomorrow when I am more awake! Honestly more reporters prefer press releases being sent in to talking....in fact the FB status of one of the reporters I know today is 'could you put that in a press release please'. lol! They prefer to contact you IF they need extra info. You could always offer a piece of your jewelery as a competition prize for the paper to....

Nothing exciting Saucy just a scalextric car :-/

thanks Nixi- sounds like a plan- I might be more awake to make sense of it tomorrow! Am getting sleepy so might miss Saucys site launch after all :-(
