I just got an email from Nicole and JoAnne at JustAddSweat.com and they told me about anew product that they just introduced.
As I read their email, I just kept thinking about how many moms I know who would love earn some extra cash, yet they don’t want a full-time job or start a business that will force them to work 80 hours a week.
I can’t say I blame them!
The new Just Add Sweat guide tells you exactly how to start one of the coolest businesses I’ve seen that can really give a mom a jump start to making some extra money without committing their bank account, their life and all of their free time.
The guide is called “How To Start A Santa Letter Business”. It’s basically an online business that, for a fee, allows people to order Letters From Santa for their kids. The business owner creates the letter based on a questionnaire, throws in some special extras and mails the letter to the child.
Even though it’s a business that is focused on Christmas, it’s also a business that can be expanded to other times of the year and childhood milestones, like Birthdays, losing teeth, new baby, etc.
So it can really grow (or not grow) to whatever you want it to be.
There’s no time better than right now to dip your foot in the water of a ‘won’t break the bank’ online business. And Just Add Sweat offers a complete guarantee so it’s totally worth it to give it a look.

A gift basket business is a year around business. There are always holidays and occasions where a gift basket makes the perfect gift… Valentine’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, weddings, birthdays, get well, thinking of you, baby showers, new baby, bereavement… these are just a few special occasions where someone would order a gift basket.
At the end of the blog post are some gift basket business publications that can be helpful in starting and maintaining your gift basket business.
Gift baskets are in great demand. They make fantastic presents and you can now find gift baskes to suit just about any occasions. This means that you can start a gift basket supply business which offers anything from from gourmet foods, chocolates and teas to body lotions, birthday items, special occasion products for wedding gift baskets, and more.
What skills are helpful?
Some knowledge and experience in the gift basket business along with knowledge of a wide variety of wholesale companies. Your familiarity with the business will help you keep your stock fresh and interesting for your clientele.
Organizational skills are a must! It is going to be imperative that you be able to keep your inventory organized. You also need to keep customer information and orders organized.
Creativity is important, you’ll need a little bit of a creative flair to set up beautiful looking baskets.
What tools are needed?
If you’re selling wholesale supplies you’re going to be selling large quantities of supplies at a time. To run a successful supply business you need to have an area large enough that you can keep stocked full of inventory; a room with shelving space is a good option. You are also going to need boxes, packaging bubbles/material, and tape to send out purchases.
If you’re offering gift baskets which you design and build yourself you’ll need marketing materials such as a website, business cards, flyers and basic computer equipment such as a fax machine, telephone and a computer.
You’ll also need to find a good supplier to supply you with all the gift basket essentials and a large table in a roomy area of your home to design and build the baskets.
How do you get started?
Once you’ve made up your mind to go with it you will need to check out legal issues. Businesses that involve lots of shipments coming and going can often be subject to more rules than other home based businesses. Make sure that you have appropriate insurance on your home that will cover your business; you may need an additional policy.
Take your time and develop your first line of products. Provide a nice variety of products and plan to keep introducing new items on a regular basis to keep clients interested. You’ll need a well organized and easy to use website along with an attractive catalog. Both will be important in promoting your product line.
Make your customers happy, build a personal relationship with them, and let them know you care about them and their businesses. Customer satisfaction is the quickest way to grow your business as current clients will spread the word about you if they’re happy.

With the uncertainty surrounding the economy these days, many women are trying to think of ideas to make money from home. You don’t want to fall for a scam but you do want something that is easy to do and still have time for your families. Starting a Santa letter business may be the answer you’re looking for.
What Exactly is a Santa Letter Business?
Each year thousands of children write letters to Santa Claus and never get a response, but your Santa letter business can change all that. By owning your own Santa letter business, you can give children something to cherish for years to come. A parent pays for a “letter from Santa” for their child and you write a personalized letter in response.
What Type of Equipment and Supplies are Needed?
There aren’t a lot of equipment needs for this business. In fact, you can get started with nothing more than a computer, Christmas stationery, a printer, and a way for parents to contact you. You may want to consider getting a post office box for your business so you won’t have people sending letters to your personal address.
What Skills and Attributes Will You Need?
A good command of the English language and the ability to type are all the skills you’ll really need. If you love children and can relate to them, you’ll do well in this business.
How Do You Decide What to Charge?
Parents want their children to be happy and to encourage the magic of Christmas as long as they can. It’s not unusual for Santa letter businesses to charge as much as $10 per letter. Of course, you may be able to find them cheaper online, but the quality of the letter leaves much to be desired. Deliver great quality and command a better price.
Think about what you would be willing to spend to have a personalized letter sent to your child from “Santa” and that will give you a good starting point for the price. Factor in your costs – stationary, postage, and printer ink – then add a little to the price of the letter to help pay for those items.
Use Creative Marketing Ideas
Don’t wait too long to start advertising your new business. In fact, if you haven’t started by the first week of November, you may have waited too late. Sell letters from Santa on auction sites. You can also create order forms that can be given to schools and preschools to send home to parents. Consider creating a website and advertise there, send out postcards to people in your hometown, or put up fliers in local businesses. Set up your computer in a booth at a Christmas craft show and have letters made on the spot for parents and grandparents to take with them.
