I've been making and selling my cards in a couple local bars for a couple of years now, just making them, buying the bits and bobs i need and not thinking about the money/business side of things.
I know I'm not losing money-definitely covering my costs but this year we've decided i can go part-time at work (i just work the summer season-may to September) and concentrate on my cards a bit more, have them in a couple more places, see how it goes and think about maybe expanding to etsy or similar.
BUT i need to run it properly not just as a hobby and i have no idea where to start, how do i work out the actual costs of each card etc? should i set up a new bank account only for the cards, once a month putting the card money in and using only that account for supplies etc?
Any hints, tips and websites that might help will be gratefully received
