How to run a home based jewelry party business for fun and profit - a review

Wow this is a book I really enjoyed reading. Strange that I haven't come across it before, although I make jewelry for a few years now. I was browing Rena Klingenberg's site and found the link there and followed it and the rest is history. I'm really glad I did because this one is a real hidden gem.

I was about to write a review here of the book, but I think the author has done a much better job than me, she even posted the Table of Contents online, lol. Now talk about transparent! Over 100 pages of pure gold, plus what I really enjoyed getting are the nice bonuses (that we can't live without!): a nice logo pack which helps greatly in designing your own logo for your jewelry business, a pack of business letters including a consignment contract, woohoo!, and an Ebay marketing guide which is great if you're selling on Ebay - I don't, so I just quickly flipped through this Ebay book, it seems good but I'm not going to read it. But back to the book.

What exactly is this Jewelry book about? Well, in a nutshell, it is the ultimate tutorial for learning how to start and operate your own home jewelry party business. Although it focuses on jewelry parties, it really goes into all aspects of setting up the business: from chosing a name, to finding your best prices, to checking up on your competitors, to dealing with business licenses and all the business 'official' headaches, I feel that this book is one no serious jewelry home business owner should be without. And when the book has the backing of Rena Klingenberg, - and we know SHE is, well, I don't think I need to say more about it. Just go over to Lorry Ely's site and see for youself. And make sure you read the Table of Contents!
