Free Guide - Candy Wrapping Business Ideas - No Opt In

15 replies
Hi

I have written my first ebook, which I include as a freebie with some software I sell on ebay (all delivered on CD not breaking any rules )
I have uploaded it here to share, you can distribute it as you wish, if you have a craft, or women's site, or anything relevant, you are welcome to offer it as a freebie to your visitors.
Feedback welcomed, but don't be too harsh on my first attempt

cheers
Angela

      Suprised to see this!

      I used to be in this business with an ex-girlfriend of mine.

      We sourced the chocolate from the cheap stores such as Aldi, Liddle etc (UK) or whatever chocolate we could find that was unbranded on the chocolate itself.

      I designed the various designs - a couple for each occasion and some special cartoon designs aimed at children.

      We printed on high quality photographic paper. Wrapped the bar in it, then wrapped in clear plastic (rolls bought off ebay) and sealed with a tiny bit of tape.

      The end solution was very professional and they sold well.

        Personalised chocolates are big sellers at markets here. There are a couple of ladies who do our local market once a month, and they have people queued up to order. Not sure if they sell from a website as well?
        I use the software myself also, but only for gift making, my daughters do too, don't have time to make a business out of it with everything else I have going on, lol.

          I didn't even trade offline.

          The answer for me was Ebay. No doubt they would sell from a well marketed website too.

          Naturally there's other people doing it, but it boils down to who's designs are best. To blow my own trumpet, mine were the best. I sold for a little more to reflect this.

          You can sell anything with good design.

    my sister in law makes nappy cakes (diaper cakes) and is adding custom candy wrappers to her product line. She doesn't have a website, only sells offline and has herself a goldmine. I shudder to think how much she could be making if she marketed online, and got to spend more time at home creating her designs.......

    Offer a few freebie jobs and put them in your portfolio with a testimonial from your client. Place samples in local shops. People can purchase a candy bar for a nominal fee. Offer the shop owner an incentive by sharing the profits. Try bridal shops, baby shops, florists, gift shops. Also provide samples or business cards to wedding planners, even planners, at trade shows, professional fundraising groups and obstetrician offices.

    I have just had this ebook published on Amazon
    My first attempt at writing one, I am very chuffed. The cover looks great if I do say so myself, I used the free ebook cover creator that I posted about in another thread.
    Here it is on Amazon Amazon.com: Candy Wrapping Business Guide eBook: Angela Love: Kindle Store

    cheers

      Hi..
      If anyone has an business idea or a project and he need an investor than he may visit IIM website once. IIM (Invest In Me) is an online destination where different investors introduce themselves. You just have to post a listing of your idea of project. The investors keep browsing for available opportunities and if they found your plans interesting then they will initially contact you.
