Does the thought of trying to sell something to someone make your heart race and your palms turn sweaty? For me, the thought of going up to someone and saying, "Hi, let me tell you about a great product or business opportunity, etc., etc." just kick starts an excess of acid juices flowing in my stomach.



In our over-advertised and over-marketed to society we all have our defenses up when the sales pitch starts. No matter how skilled the salesperson, we can smell it coming from a mile away.



So, is there a business where the product literally "sells itself" so that you don't have to push anything on someone? The answer is YES! I was lucky enough to discover some years ago that jewelry making fits the bill perfectly.



Why? Well, jewelry is one of those products where you get to actually wear what you make. When you do that you literally become a walking advertisement for your jewelry. As long as you make attractive handmade necklaces, earring, bracelets, rings or other types of jewelry they will attract attention where ever you go when you wear them in public.



Then you get to take advantage of an instinct that most of us women have. We can't help ourselves when we see a very nice unique looking piece of jewelry. We've just got to find out more about it.



I can't tell you how many times over the years that women I don't know at all have approached me while I was wearing my jewelry out in public, and struck up a conversation that goes something along these lines:



"Hi, I'm sorry to bother you, but I noticed your necklace and it's so beautiful and I was wondering if you could tell me where you got it."



Do you see why this is so magical? Most salespeople would think they had died and gone to sales heaven to have people coming up to them and basically telling them, without the sales person saying a word, that they are extremely interested in buying the sales person's product.



When this happens to you and you respond, "Thank you. Actually, I have a small jewelry making business and I made this myself," it's very easy to move toward getting an order for your jewelry. This happens to me all the time.



The added bonus is that most of the women who become your customers will continue to order jewelry from you in the future. That's another thing that sales people love: repeat business.

As a jewelry making teacher, I often talk to ladies who want to learn how to make jewelry, but they aren't sure how to get started. I can understand this because it isn't always obvious from looking at jewelry pieces to know what would be easy to make, and what would be difficult to make.



Like most things, if you jump in to soon and work on something you're not ready for, you will probably end up being frustrated, start to think you can't do it, and quit. My suggestion is always to crawl before you walk before you run. That way you can quickly build confidence in your abilities and you will enjoy seeing yourself improve as you start to take on more challenging jewelry making projects.



From my experience with new students the best way to learn to crawl when it comes to jewelry making is to learn simple bead stringing techniques first. Doing so will get you comfortable with simple jewelry making techniques, materials, and tools before you move on to try something more difficult. And the nice thing is that you can still make a lot of very beautiful jewelry pieces even with simple bead weaving techniques.



For the most part, bead stringing simply involves running a thin wire or a nylon filament string (that's where the word "stringing" comes from) through the holes in an assortment of beads to create beautiful necklaces, bracelets, or anklets. With all the colors and types of beads available these days the number of different jewelry pieces you can make is virtually limitless.



To complete your jewelry stringing pieces you just need to learn a few simple finishing techiques like how to add a jump ring and a clasp so that you can wear the jewelry piece. You can master those finishing techniques in a short period of time. Once you've done that you will be equipped to create some very nice handcrafted jewelry pieces in no time at all.
