What I learned last week. #4
What did i learn last week?
- I learned that in CA getting your sellers permit is just the first step. That once you have said sellers permit you then need a tax ID which means you need to pay your first tax initiation fees which are not cheap. I learned that even f you work from home and sell online you still have to pay higher zoning fees if you live in a neighborhood like mine. So what I really learned is why people keep their small businesses illegal.
- I learned that headbands are my biggest seller and that I need to make more...soon.
- I learned that rotary cutting blades do not help my craft in the least.
- I learned that bead shops have way cheaper Swarovski Crystals.

Introducing: DIY Birdcage Veil Kits
I am really excited about this new addition to my shop. DIY kits! For now I only have DIY Birdcage veils going up but soon I would like to start doing fascinator kits as well.
I know that sooo many brides, including myself spend hours trying to figure out what kind of veil material to buy, where you order it from, what is a good price, what color do i need...etc. etc. etc.
So I made a easy peasy kit. You get 18 inches of high quality netting, a needle, 6ft of clear thread, instruction and the buyers choice of hair attachment (comb, bobby pin, etc.).



So Check them out!

Help for the Helpless Bloggers
Ok so this morning I somehow came across the idea of "Site Maps" and Verifying your site (blog) with Google and all this other stuff I had never heard of. I thought that my Google Base and Google Analytic's were enough...Nope.
As a side note, you do not need to do this for your etsy page. Hopefully one day we WILL be able to, but not yet. You can do this for your blogs and any other website you may have.
So here is what Ive learned...
Step One
- Go to: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/
- Sign In (or sign up if you don't have a google user name)
- Click "Add a Site" and enter your URL in the pop up
Step Two
- Click the link called "Verify This Site"
- Now you will see a "Meta Tag" which looks something like this:

- Select and copy the entire tag beggining with <>
Step Three (For any web site you own)
- In a new window go to your site
- Find where you can edit your HTML sometimes known as your "Template HTML"
- *For Blogger go to "layout" and then "html"
- Look through your code to find your "Head" marks which will be inside these: < >
- You want to paste the "Meta Tag" code before your end head mark which has this mark before the word head: < / >
- Example:

- Save your Edits
Step 4
- Go back to your Google Webmaster Tools page where you were verifying your site
- Click Verify
- If you put the code in the right place Google should find it quickly!
When I figure out the "site maps" issue, i will post about that as well.

Good Luck!
