Back when I started my home based business, I had no money, no expertise, no knowledge, even no customers.
In these two years of crisis this is the doom of any beginner, but not for us.
Sign making is a business you can start even if you have none of the above.
How? 1.
You begin with setting up a marketing plan.
There are many marketing opportunities completely free, like EzineArticles for example.
You can advertise on some forums and local papers.
When the money builds up, you will get to a higher level.
2.
You practically don't need expensive tools for you business.
I personally didn't invest more than $500.
3.
You don't even need a plotter to cut your vinyl, you can order it from your sign supplier and only later on, when you have the money, you can buy expensive machinery.
4.
Now you need skills, Practice on your windows, which make a perfect substrate for applying vinyl.
Then move on to cars etc.
5.
Now you are a professional vinyl installer.
Introduce yourself to other local sign business companies and start by installing vinyl application for them as a subcontractor.
6.
When you build your confidence and reputation its time to start making SIGN FOR YOUR FUTURE.
You will soon succeed but only if you are in the right place at the right time.
7.
When you succeed, don't get all overwhelmed by it.
A success can as easily go as it came to you, so you too have to stick to the quality you promote for others.
