Fresh air

Well, let me share, what a business with a $2000 of starting capital looks like. Let us ignore the formal figures, as if i get down to them, I'd wish I never started. Well, like any business.

So, what I have done with my $2000?

I established a firm and opened a bank account.

I bought 8 sheets of Kydex and cut them into 400 pieces to be sold separately.

I opened an on-line shop, made a page in a Russian facebook clone vk.com

The operations started on September the 9th.

By now:

- I have sold my kydex to 9 different customers in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Samara, Ryazan and Yoshkar-Ola.

- I am currently working with 4 new customers and keep up with the previous 9, expecting new orders.

I sell via a delivery firm, as they send the cash to my firm's account right away.

My e-stoe is almost useless. There has only been 1 sale through it. All the other 8 come from the social network. I keep my database with the social network accounts of my customers, because these proved to be the superior contact method.

I have sold for a total of $300.

Am I depressed? No. Selling a completely new product with no experience in sales, no advertisment and no help is not that bad. I wish to get to #500 by October 15th and increase the sum firther by November.

Finally, a nice pic of a sheath by one of my group members

Oh, btw. I should offer him a deal!
