#JustStart Experience

My goal is to sell crafts online. I have this goal because crafting is my passion. So, I want to utilize my talent.

The first 3 steps include:

  1. To join a crafters group to get information about what’s trending these days and to get guidelines from the people who are already in this business. To complete this step I asked my crafter friend and she introduced and added me to a group of crafters who are already running their businesses. This was an important step because it will help me to know the ongoing trends and guidelines from my senior people in this business.
  2. The next step is to build a good portfolio for that I already have my account. But for many days, there was no activity on my account. So, I thought of developing a new product. So, I decided to design a fancy tissue box for use in events i.e. Shaadi. I have already collected my ideas for making this and I will implement them during the next week.
  3. The next step was to upload my new product on my page. So, I have planned to upload and then promote my content by sharing it with my friends and family.

In past the challenge I faced was I can’t work on new product development because of my busy schedule. I felt good after completing this task because I was planning for so long to do it but can’t make it possible. It gave me a sense of pleasure. This time the challenges I faced is the shortage of time and finding a group of crafters because of my pending work and ongoing classes. I learned that making crafts gives me pleasure and a sense of responsibility. This just start step will be helpful in my career.
