Entrepreneur... Jayden has become quite the little business girl. Last summer she bought a western tote bag, always liked the bag and thought it would be fun to try to sell them. Her strategy was to make herself known on Twitter with lots of followers. I don't have a Twitter account or even know much about it. She tells me she has to post frequently and keep people interested. She posts a lot about rodeo, horses, and western fashion. She did her research on the tote bags and discovered she had to order a minimum of 15 and pay shipping costs. The bags are sold in El Paso, Texas from a wholesale store. They are most likely made in Mexico, are quality made, southwestern print, and currently popular in the western world. On Thursday December 13, Jayden listed her bags on Twitter. Right away she received messages and sold one after the other. Within 24 hours she sold all 15. She marked the bags up from what she bought them making $15/bag. The next shipment she decided to order more of the most requested color and some with neater designs and a little larger. Within the week, she got her shipment and had them all sold and was taking pre-orders for more! This second shipment she also sold the larger ones higher, making more profit and some even paid extra for shipping in order to get them for Christmas. It has been very exciting for Jayden and it is going really well for her. She is making some good money and all she has to do is stuff the bags in a mailer and ship. It is making it really hard for her to stay motivated to work at her new job. She took the two weeks around Christmas off. She makes easy money with these bags and hostess pays $8/ hour. She works hard on a busy night and after 5 hours after taxes, she goes home with $36.
