Some little things

 I was recently thinking about some little things that may help along the way but are not big enough to write a whole post about!

1) Another shipping option: shipping in the states. Depending on where you live, if you are close to the boarder (relatively) and have a high volume of sales, it can be a lot cheaper to cross the border into the United States and ship from there. If you do so, go once or twice a week and make sure your policies state how often you go.

2) Finding Facebook groups in your world. For me, I found a couple of groups for vintage lovers and I often post new items on the group and make a few extra sales that way. Just search tag words related to your business and see what you find! Again, it's good to be part of the community!

3) Make sure you've been keeping your finances organized. Keep all of your business receipts, keep track of all your business spending, and all of your sales. Also keep track of what you've been spending on shipping because you may find in the end that you've spent a little out of pocket on it and that should be written off in your end of year taxes.
