Bead Bracelets Designs from my Online Buyer, Shayne


Woot woot!! Received an email today from my buyer and suprised to see that she actually attached 
a photos of her creations from the DIY kit she ordered from me.

Its been quite a while that I kept on receiving lots of inquiries and orders but she's the first one who
actually sent me images of her finished projects. And oh, we are still communicating and looking forward
for another transaction. 

I'm so proud of my buyers. They know they want to learn bead crafts, they know they are creative and 
they put effort in making their passion possible and that's how they find me; www.ladynyx14.sulit.com.ph

Seriously speaking, I never earned a lot from this business idea. Its just that when I am starting out, I knew 
how hard is it to find materials. When I became familiar with the places that cater them, I thought there
must be more like me who never knew where they could purchase these trinkets.

Some of my clients already visited the places and stores where I purchased my supply but still having issue of what to pick and buy; they goes back to me and order their first DIY kit. Some of them eventually learned to
outsource their supply, others specially those from the province stick with my service.

Some reported back and told me they already sold their first designs, some asked how much they gonna sell it. Others learned the name of the materials one by one.


Its such a joy to find out there are lots of creative people around. There are teens, yuppies, working professional, mothers, business minded women etc. Some orders are within Metro Manila, others came from Luzon, I received inquiries from Visayas, still waiting for orders from Mindanao and finally got an inquiry for 
shipment abroad, which is a delightful news coz I included in my ads that I am only accepting local buyers.
It makes me think I should reconsider accepting international orders. This week I am going to my 
trusted courier Mail n More in Tiendesitas, Pasig to get an idea how much an international shipment 
might cost. After that, I might consider editing my transaction policy. Besides, the main reason
why I posted such ads is to make it accessible to those people. I couldn't isolate my products within Philippines if other people around the world also wants them.It makes me wonder maybe 
it's the same reason why international company must launched sites and branches around the world, there
is a need that must be cater. I felt I found a market void to fill. 
This is the DIY kit she used to make the bracelets above, worth Php1,500.00 including shipment. 
More creative Pinoy and Pinay. More business transactions for me.
Everyday is a learning process and I am learning online business little by little.

Thank you to Shayne of Sorsogon City for the trust. I am proud of you, young woman.
