Well I’ve been listening to best price provillus
the news lately and have been hearing all about the US and how they are dealing with their recession period. Well here in Canada we are not doing much better. The economy has slowed considerably right now and if your anything like I am, you are just trying to find different ways to survive.

Well one of the ways that I have been using to try to survive in these very trying economic times, is by resurrecting my home crafting business. About a year ago I tried to get this little business up and running. But after a couple of months of not having any significant sales, I got a little discouraged and put this idea on the back burner. Well, I have decided that if I want to make any income at home, I’m going to have to give my idea of creating a small business a little more thought.

One area where I have been concentrating on is how I have been accepting payments for all my crafts in the past. In the past I hadn’t utilized any services such as Credit Card Factoring and I really do think that I probably lost some sales due to this. As most people use credit cards these days, I have decided that if I want to get real serious about this business, I am going to have to implement this option. I would be able to do this by using the services of onlinecheck.com. They have a very fast approval system in place with less stringent requirements to getting a loan. And with no closing costs or fees, I could potentially save some cash in the long run.

So, this is definitely something I’m going to need to give more thought to. I’ll let you all know how I make out with my little home crafting business.

Although all I mainly did this weekend was work, it was an extremely busy weekend. I work as a how does venapro work
waitress at a very busy family restaurant and this past weekend was probably one of the busiest that I’ve put in in a very long time. On Saturdays I am the only waitress on from 9:00 am to until 4:00 pm and it can get quite crazy. Well this weekend is got really crazy and by the time I left my shift I was pretty exhausted. I was so tired, I was even too tired to cook supper so I brought it home.

Sunday was pretty much the same thing. So all I wanted to do when I got home was kick back and relax. So needless to say, nothing else got done. But after a good nights sleep, I have tons of energy today. So I plan on doing everything today that didn’t get done over the weekend. I did survive this past weekend, but hopefully I don’t have another one like it for a very long time!

Over the past couple of years I have been slowly trying to build up a small home crafting business. And yes, this process has been going pretty slow. But with it now being a new year, I have decided to try to kick things up a bit. Over the past couple of years I have realized that there are some things that I haven’t been doing well in attracting potential customers and buyers and one of those things seem to be my advertising methods. I have tried to go the “cheap” way with word or mouth advertising, but have discovered that this method isn’t working out really well.

So I have decided that what I probably need to do is to look into getting a small business loans that will help me pay for some advertising which may in where to buy venapro canada
fact help me to increase my sales. I do realize that we are now in the middle of a recession, but I still think that the products that I sell are still in demand as people still need to buy gifts for loved ones. So I think if I pay for advertising and have it targeted to my perfect market, I could in fact keep my little business running. Right now the only payments I accept is through paypal but I think that if I start accepting credit card orders I may increase my sales as well.

So with it being a brand new year, I think these may be some measures that I need to put in place to become successful in my crafting business. The more exposure my business gets, the more sales I could potentially make so I really do think a small business loan may be the way to go.

you in here may not be aware but up until a year and a half ago I worked at a very busy family restaurant as an assistant manager.  Then I had to leave my place of employment due to babysitter issues.  Well about two weeks ago I decided to go back to work as a supervisor.

The past couple of weeks haven’t been too bad but just this past Saturday I had to deal with my first cranky and unreasonable customer.  Apparently before I even started my shift we had a customer who was standing out in the take out for five minutes before anyone went down to see what he wanted.  And instead of blaming the girl who was on the take out, he blamed me.  He stated that I should have more control over my staff and this was a very poor way of treating customers.  I tried to explain to him that I just came on shift so I really didn’t understand why he was blaming me.

I really have to tell you all that of all the complaints I have had to deal with, this one really took the cake.  So I apologized to him and told him I would talk to the staff.  In my head I was kind of wondering how on earth he expects me to “control” my staff when I’m not even working??

Last week I joined a with caralluma
site over at today.com.  This site will pay you to blog but it has a different type of twist.  You don’t need your own blog like all the other paid to blog sites.  They will set up a blog for you.  All you need to do is pick a topic that you would like to blog about and pick out a template.  They do all the work for you.  Then you do a 100 word post a day on it and they will pay you $1.00 a post.  They also pay you for all your unique visitors.  So although it doesn’t sound like a whole lot of money, honestly it’s a very simple job to do and if your anything like me, you will be happy earning even a little bit of cash.  So far I’m quite happy with the program.  Although I haven’t been paid yet, I’ll be sure to pop back in here and let you all know when I have been.
