How to Start a Vinyl Business (if you own a Cricut or Silhouette)

This course is a beginner's guide to opening your own business in order to sell decals, but it is also suitable for someone who has already opened a vinyl business but would like to rebrand or niche down. 

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 

• What you need before you start
  
  
• How to choose a target audience or a niche
  
  
• How to figure out a business name
  
  
• How to decide on your brand colors
  
  
• Your options for designing a logo and choosing fonts for your branding
  
  
• What to set up and be aware of before you start selling

This course is perfect for complete beginners who are looking to start a business using their cutting machine, but who are already familiar with using it. It doesn't include any tutorials on how to make vinyl decals. 

It will go over the key things to think about when starting a business and will give you a very general overview of where to begin. I won’t be teaching where to sell your decals or how to get sales in this course.

You need a Cricut/Silhouette/other cutting machine, access to the internet and ideally a computer or laptop, but a tablet or smartphone will work too.

Once you're finished, take my next course, 'Create Vinyl Decals That Are Ready To Sell' for the next step of your journey. 

Vinyl Decals are one of the easiest things to make on a Cricut or Silhouette and one of the best things to sell because of the following:

• Low upfront costs (can usually start with what you already own)
• Potential for big markups
• Easy to ship and you can send them worldwide
• Don't require much space to store and make
• An experience for your customer, not just a finished product
