NeuroTalk Members' Enterprises: Discussion Thread
 

Hi

This thread is where members of NeuroTalk Communities can link to and chat about their own business and other enterprises.

If this thread gets a lot of activity, we will create a sub-forum for NT BizTalk:D

Whether it is your eBay store or auctions through to whether you do crafts for charities...whatever our enterprising members would like to showcase and discuss here is welcomed.

NeuroTalk members are welcome to add links to their business or enterprise on this thread.

Cheri :)

PLEASE NOTE: Any attempts at spamming this thread will be strictly moderated. This is NOT the place to post affiliate links or MLM recruiting ads etc. nor links for advertising cellphones and other such stuff! This thread is ONLY for contributing NeuroTalk Community Members to discuss their business and other enterprises

Great idea....
 

I will work on getting something together for this thread....I think this is a wonderful idea....
Thanks so much,
Kay

Looking forward to seeing what you do Kay :)

I love this idea! I hope you will go forward with this site and the newsletter. It's all very positive.

thanks Curls :)

You can be assured, NeuroTalk is here to stay :D

Do you have your own business or something enterprising that you do for a living or to help a cause?

I see this thread offering tips, if you will, regarding income and how it would affect SSDI to where to get the cheapest domain name. The possibilites are endless.

I have a lower motor neuron disease and I started making jewelry because I was bored silly not working. I've been on SSDI since I became ill, about 11 years, and I'm thankful for the monthly check but I'm on a real tight budget. I have made some extra cash selling my jewelry in local shops and jewelry parties. My daughter markets my jewelry and hers as I am house bound and it would be impossible for me to get out and show my goods if I didn't have her. Our styles are entirely different; she is classy and detail oriented and I'm trendy and commercial so it works out well for us, we are not competing. I have a store on Etsy.com where they only allow handmade items. The categories include photographyand paintings to candles and soaps, it has to be handmade. They do have an antique category but I have not checked it out. The website is free, the only cost is $ .20 to list an item. It's like having a website for free and I'm sure there must be other venues available to us if we network and share our knowledge.

I am excited about this thread although I think it will be a nightmare to organize and administer. I don't think there should be self promotion allowed unless it's through a pm. Who knows what's available to us. So etsy.com is my first contribution and I hope some of you can use it.

Hi Susan

yes, etsy.com is an excellent venue...I have a friend who also does jewelry there
you are welcome to show a link to your etsy store here on this thread so that other members can see what you do :)

What we dont want is for people to join simply to use this area to sell. That will be strictly moderated. But it is fine for members to include a link to their enterprise once, PROVIDED it isnt affiliate linking or multi level marketing recruitment

A reminder for those who may not yet have seen this section of our community...this thread is designed for members who have their own enterprise or business or cause...something that you do to make your own living or to make some extra or also what you may do to help to further a cause....etc.

The idea here is to see some good discussions on what it takes to operate these, and also related to the limitations that many here have in finding regular employment because of health issues etc


It will also be great to see just what amazing talents and ingenuity our members have shown in finding ways to make a livelihood, or get some extra $$ part time or even just for fun money.......... and of course this is also a good place to talk of the many great causes that so many of our members support with either their time or talents etc

:)

Very interesting thread. Hoping to find some links at a time soon.

My son makes key chains and bracelets from beads but at the present
he has slowed his making down. And he doesn't sell them right now,
but gives them away.

But this is always neat to see others things.

WOW, this is so beautiful, from my experience as well as many of yours, you find yourself doing all that is said to do, to not give up, not let nothing stop you, to GO FORWARD..... and for many of us in the world to find a purpose after paralysis don't always achieve this victory. I find this forum to be the best for appreciating the victories of those with SCI. I did experience one online community, very well known for it's purpose to help people with SCI consider my promoting my CD as a violation of it's terms. I respect the no SPAM law but I felt as a community online forum for people with SCI, you would know my audience and my music is also SCI.

We who are SCI who overcome depression and suicidal thoughts and find hobby or activity that may help us pay bills, pay for supplies we need everyday, help pay for equipment our insurance wont, and share this with others who may be interested in our products, need something like this because we already have a huge obstacle with society not looking at us as people who sit all day with no dreams

GOD BLESS this forum, it's the best

I'm an entertainer, I do shows at all type of events. My drem is to make it to a major record lable, my family and friends help me not just with day to day things but my music and advocating for a cure. I'm selling CDs of my music, you can hear songs and watch videos before buying, please check out promos if you like

What a great idea!

I'm looking forward to visiting EBay soon. I go there now and then and I've also been thinking of relieving myself of some of my 'stuff'.

Thank You for the heads up on this.

Check this out for your service dogs
 

I have self trained my service dog and found it very difficult to find quality service dog supplies. So my husband has started a website servicedogsuppliesunlimited.com. Don't forget the www in front of the address. The website has a service dog forum and a photo gallery page as well. You will find high quality affordable service dog supplies. I want to invite all of you to come and check it out. Have a great evening and give your service dog partner a big hug and kiss.

I periodically need help with additional project site photographs. Therefore, if there are any NT members in the Inland Empire of So Cal (Riverside, San Bernardino, Upland, Alta Loma, Corona, etc) as well as in the Mojave desert let me know.

I normally take all of the photographs that I need, but once in a while I need additional site photos while I am writing reports.

A good car/truck, a digital camera and e-mail is required.

I negotiate the costs for the work with the clients, and the average rate is $100 plus gas and lunch for each site.

Photography.....
 

started out as a hobby until a friend said I should put some of my photographs into the local college art show. Since then I've been lucky enough to sell a few here and there, some as cards, some as framed prints.

I honestly don't put much effort into taking pictures, I just snap away at whatever catches my eye. Thankfully I have been fortunate to actually get a few great ones. I still consider it a hobby, because to me, if I thought of it as a job then it wouldn't be as enjoyable.

There is a link on my profile to my website if you'd like to take a look.
