I only incited thirteen years old. I listened which my cousin who is the single month younger than me non-stop up her own commercial operation by giving manicures/pedicures/and massages to family/friends as well as charging them money. I wish to do the same thing, though I wish to sell beaded bracelets which I have to friends, family, as well as people who only similar to beaded stuff. Are there any great websites which will learn me how to have my own small business? For free.
I conclude all the great answers though I additionally need any good, giveaway websites which can learn me or give me ideas upon how to have my jewelry. I already have all the supplies: beads, wiring, ect. I can regularly buy the book, though I’d cite the internet.

Well Ebay is your best bet at this point. you can set up an ebay store, good luck
as for making beads and those stuffs, you can go to a bookstore and look under crafts/hobbies. you can see instructional on how to make those beads.
As to selling it, ebay would be your best option
Ask your cousin what she did to start hers.
One thought comes to mind, tho – When someone buys a manicure they need one again in a week or so. But when someone buys a bracelet, they have a bracelet, and may not need to buy another. So your cousin has a business that generates repeat customers, which is a great plan.
Similar types of ‘jobs’ would be walking dogs, babysitting, etc., stuff that needs to be done over and over again, so you don’t have to keep finding new customers.
That being said, if you love making jewelry, and want to see how it goes, you can figure out what to charge for the pieces by taking into consideration the cost of the supplies (beads, wire, findings, etc.) and adding something for your time making it. However, I would not recommend making too much of a financial investment until you see how well it goes.
good luck!

Dear Sabrina, why don’t you check out your local library? Most websites won’t have much -its better to get a book for free at the library. You can check online and look for the book you want and then reserve it theyll hold it for you or you can go down and see for yourself. Really its not that time consuming. Not everything is available on the web especially free stuff- it usually comes with some kind of price and not much of anything for free. Not much good free advice thats been my experience!!
I would suggest starting with ebay or etsy. Or you could build a gallery of your offerings on Photobucket and then post around the internet for people to check out your “store”.
Good luck, I hope you find success!
