When do you need it by? Start selling tarts and other pasteries that photograph well on Etsy. I guruantee you there is a market for it there and I would be more than happy to give you any advice on pictures or setting up a store .
Selling pot is often an easy profit. Just throwing that idea out there. But only do it until you get the money you need, because trust me, you don't want to be labeled as a dealer and have your house ransacked.
Where was the last time u saw the $155? Look there , and check under the sofa. Case solved... OR Run away and join the circus? *But* , dress up as an animal.And sign up to do tricks...
I was just thinking about this in the bath tub. You could seriously make bank on Etsy because what a lot of people don't know is most of your money comes from wholesale orders off Etsy from people who found you on Etsy. With my wholesale orders, a vendor might order 50 burp cloths, but those burp cloths are going to sit on their shelves a long time and I might not get another order from that person for a year. With pasteries, if you did wholesale you would get frequent orders because your goods are perishable. Catering companies, event planning, promotional baked goods, the possibilities are endless. Wedding cakes!
PS-If you go for it, let me know. I have hot hands, so my pastry sucks and there's no decent bakeries around here.
