I applaud you for taking the steps to be self-sufficient and setting up your own business. Regarding "clubs," I have always liked Woody Allens quote: I'd never join a club that would allow a person like me to become a member.
You'll be fine. Their loss Elizabeth.
Thanks :) I just figured that if I can't get a job that I will enjoy and/or look good on my CV this summer, I might as well just make up that job myself. Worst case, i get a crazy valuable experience and lots of fun for only a couple hundred bucks. Best case, I make a bunch of money. I might still get a job as a waitress or something on the side if I've got some free time tho. Waiting on the shipment from China and setting up the brand registry with Amazon in the meantime. Honestly, the Chinese product is not really want I want to sell but the best way to get rankings are sales and reviews and for that you need to give away a bunch in promotions. Giving away products worth 1$ is something I can afford so i'll start with that and go from there. Anyone want some cheap wooden combs? :P
