Photography, inventory, and advertising... oh my!

Well, everything is off to a great start! I've had overwhelming feedback and support from those who have visited the site. There have now been over 4,000 pageviews and I can't believe it!

Now comes the learning curve. 

I have never been a particularly great photographer, and, as many of you may know- it's not easy to photograph minerals! I purchased a new camera, which is working great, but my "studio" needs some work. Now comes the trial and error.

At the moment, the majority of my inventory is being purchased online. I have a full-time job, and am not able to travel to shows as much as I would like. Making connections seems to be key in this business, so hopefully in the next year or so I will be able to hit a few. 

My main focus now will be advertising. I've gotten a lot of great advice from Justin at The-Vug (many thanks!), and will be pursuing that route once the income is available. I should also invest in some business cards... fancy!

I would also like to give a shoutout to all of the rockhounds over at Reddit. You've been a phenomenal group full of advice and passion. You guys rock!

Cheers, 
Jess
