Hesitant, brand new to business. Need advice regarding starting and growth
Due to a very competitive job market in the field for which I was educated, I have begun to chart my own path. I started making and selling lunch bags in fun fabrics, and with a simple design. The idea was born when I was looking for a lunch bag and then decided to make my own.
Now, I've received very good reception from a network of people. I'm struggling with how much to committ to this project, both financially and time wise. I have been promoting the bags on my personal instagram, and I made a tumblr blog, but these are only sustainable for a certain (very small) level of growth. Should I order business cards and other marketing materials? Should I get a website? I know they can be inexpensive, but what if this project doesn't work out at all?
I currently have a contract job with no possibility of extending, so only limited funds of my own to make this happen.
