[BowNshowCo]

Hi everyone! My name is Jessica, and I’m an entrepreneur who’s passionate about inventing practical, useful products that make life easier. I’ve recently submitted both a utility and design patent for my one-of-a-kind product, branded as BowNshowCo. This project is especially meaningful to me because it’s inspired by my daughter, who was a cheerleader for 13 years and is now a cheer coach.

I’m determined to make this venture a success, no matter what challenges come my way, even financial ones! My next step is to attend cheerleading competitions to gauge market demand for my product, then partner with InventRight to find a licensee. After that, I plan to start all over again with a new invention!

When I’m not working on my creations, I love spending time with my supportive husband and our two children. I’m excited to be here, connect with other entrepreneurs, and share this journey with you all!

Cheer comps have been a big part of my gramma life!  Two granddaughters in cheer... we've traveled a lot.  Even out of state!  Hope you're doing well!

Hi, my name is Lyric and I am the sole maker behind Lyrics Clay Haven. I work with air dry clay and hand paint everything myself. Currently most of my items are mushroom themed but I am always looking for new things to add, and always open to custom orders of any kind. I primarily sell in person at local markets and pop up events, but I am hoping to start receiving more online orders through Square Online. I am located in Northern Florida and can ship anywhere in the US, and open to expanding outside these borders if the need arises. 

[maxpete]

Glad to have you here!!

Handmade is awesome!

[ElizabethRoy]

Hi, I'm Elizabeth Roy,

I founded HomeArtsContentandCopywriting.com and co-founded MarBethHomeArts.com with my sister, Marilyn, in 2017. Home Arts Content and Copywriting is my content and copywriting business. MarBeth Home Arts is a blog where my sister and I post about subjects that interest us. I set up both websites on Weebly before Weebly and Square merged. I just started converting Home Arts Content and Copywriting to a Square site. I'm renovating the site as I convert it, so please pardon the mess. MarBeth Home Arts is next.

My sister have designs mainly based on our photography in several stores on the print-and-demand site Zazzle.com, and it was several of the designers on Zazzle who recommended Weebly to us because this is where they have their websites. (To find our Zazzle stores, search for MarBeth.) 

I've actually been doing freelance content and copywriting for over 15 years on sites like Textbroker.com, Elance which is now Upwork, ContentGather.com, ConstantContent.com, and others. Since my sister and I no longer work on Textbroker.com, I can reveal that I was the writer formerly known as Phoenix951 and my sister was Firebird1153. 

I also worked as a staff writer for the regional print magazine The Historian which covers the history of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and, let's see. I know that there's another one. Oh, yeah, it's that state up north of Ohio. 

I live in Columbus, Ohio and graduated from The Ohio State University, in case that didn't just become obvious.

Before starting freelancing, I worked in retail sales and store management, mainly in fabric and craft stores. I've also studied interior decorating, and I worked as a certified independent image consultant for BeautiControl Cosmetics. In addition, I come from a crafting and gardening family. So, all of that has become the basis for my writing niche.  

I've also written about home remodeling, real estate, exercise equipment, recreational vehicles, travel, photography, and drones. Even if I don't know something about a topic, I enjoy learning about it as I research and write about it. That's one thing I especially enjoy about freelance writing along with the independence. I've been working with ChatGPT and other AI platforms for brainstorming, but I feel like using it for research deprives me of the learning experience even if AI does it faster. I'm torn on that issue.

Loved reading about your story @ElizabethRoy! Welcome to the Community 🙂 

[ElizabethRoy]

Thanks, @maxpete. I've already received an answer to a question I asked. I'm impressed!

[BowNshowCo]

Wow Elizabeth very impressive work and accomplishments!👏🏼

[CareyJo]

Most people don't share as much as you did about your business and yourself on this page.  I wish they would!  I like being able to get a better idea of who the people are in our Community!  Welcome!

[kbrandhagen]

I own a small vegan juice bar and cafe connected to a yoga studio. I have about 6 employees. I'm just here to start following up on some feature requests and issues that have been ongoing for the past.... oh, 5 years. Doesn't quite feel like Square listens to its customers wants/needs. 

[maxpete]

Sorry that you have been feeling this way! We're always looking for ways to improve and will share this feedback with the team too. 

[CareyJo]

I hope that you have found answers and support since this post!  Square is always looking to improve and I hope that you're feeling better about using the platform!

[MelsDrawings]

Not sure about alot of stuff on this site, and if anyone has any ideas or advice it would be greatly appreciated to help with learning the in's and out's of all that square has to offer. 

[Lou8]

Welcome to the Community @MelsDrawings, we're thrilled to have you here 👋 !

I understand all the features can feel a bit overwhelming at first, and I'd be happy to help with any questions you may have. Can you tell me a bit more about your business and the way you plan on taking payments so I can share some helpful resources ?
