Welcome.  I was a Texan before moving to Florida.  I also dabble in resin.  It's a fun process.  I've been in crafting for 50+ years.  From before websites for self-employed existed, LOL. It is, at times, overwhelming trying to figure out all the hidden wonders. I recommend trying out some craft/art fairs.  Don't go with the anticipation of sales. Go with the anticipation of handing out all your business cards.  Get yourself a QR code (they're free).  It takes time.  Shows will give you an opportunity for word of mouth advertising.  Go to shows that are low in cost, in case the sales are not as great as anticipated.  Do not compare sales this year to last year.  It's an entirely different environment right now.  It's important to not set yourself up mentally for disappointment.  You seem to have a great attitude.  Texas fairs are great.  I will not wish you luck, because you don't need it.  Determination is the key.  Show us some of your work and a link to your website.  Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Good morning ,

my name is Armin and my business is located in st.Louis city of Missouri , it’s an resturant that was started by feeding needy and homeless ppl , catering for churches and mosques , involved with homeless shelters . Started business in 2016 in 2020 during covid didn’t know if I wanted to do this anymore , due to losing my 6yr old son to covid . 2 weeks later after the funeral I was in kitchen doing what I know the best . In 2022 my rental building got sold and I had to move out , since then I have been in the city . My resturant thrives on making non gmo no msg , all fresh made when ordered food . To help out our community and start putting ppl in right track to eat healthy fresh food .

Hey, my name is Kiara, I own Pretty and Polished in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ig: thepretty_polished. I've been with Square since 2014. I sell hair extensions. Very lucrative. I like that Square allows you growth by offering capital you can pay back at your own pace.

Heyo.  Wife and I bought an existing food truck business from a retiring couple and are in the process of getting everything in order and back up and running.  Located in Virginia, and you can check us out online at www.shorebites.food, www.facebook.com/shorebites.food, or on instagram @ShoreBites.food.  Media is slim rn because we're working on all the other things that go along with opening up a business, but we're targeting 4 Apr as our first event.  Hobbies include motorcycles and ham radio, among other things.  

[maxpete]

Congrats on launching your new business!

[ShoreBites]

Thanks!

Mac n' Cheese is my life!!!!  Every restaurant.  Yes... EVERY restaurant that we visit, I must try it if they have it.  I think of myself as a mac n cheese aficionado!!  It drives my family nuts!  I've yet to find more than just a few though that I like.  I'm very picky.  Great to see that y'all are doing well and up and running!!  We're also bikers.... no such thing as too much thunder!!
