Make Sovereign Sea Designs a successful business.

Which is thrilling! This is the last day I am taking custom orders for Christmas delivery – though the sale continues through Friday. I am so pumped about how awesome this is going – I’ve been able to get all my Xmas shopping done on Sovereign Sea money, and also set aside $300 in savings! I know I’ll need it due to a furlough set by my workplace over the holiday, so it’s nice to have that little nest egg in case things get tight while I go unpaid.

For after the holidays, I’m thinking about doing a possible buy 3 get one free type of sale to keep the momentum going…hmmm…

...now my concern is – how to keep the momentum after Christmas is over. I will probably need to become more active/aggressive on Etsy – which is a bit overwhelming to me, since soooo many talented people belong to Etsy. Keeping my fingers crossed…

I was WAITING AND WAITING for some hardware to arrive so I could complete orders that were starting to build up! I got the hardware yesterday and I am shipping out 5 orders today! Yippie!

My orders are pouring in and I had to create an Excel spreadsheet in order to keep track of all of them!!! I am super excited. I know I won’t become a millionaire from this little biz, but I’d LOVE for it to make life a little easier – so my first goal for Sovereign Sea Designs is to make it through the holidays – able to get everyone I love their Christmas gifts AND be able to put away $100 soley with Sovereign Sea money…

...called Sovereign Sea Designs (www.sovereignseadesigns.com) and I LOVE creating jewelry. I have been a total media whore working Twitter, Facebook, Etsy, Greytalk, and Myspace, but am not sure where else to go with my stuff. I think my next step will be to try the gift store down the street, to see if they would be willing to sell my necklaces…

On a side note – the Christmas orders are starting to roll in! Yippie!
