Hello, Everyone,

I'm Chris Norbury, a self-published "authorpreneur" of three mystery-thriller books. I live in southern Minnesota and have been using Square to sell my books for about two years.

 Good luck to all small business owners. It's a jungle out there!

Hi, Chris, 

I'm also self-published and my WWII fighter pilot non-fiction biography just came out in November. What's your strategy for promoting your books? I'm struggling with how to get mine noticed!

Hi, I'm Rona, the founder, designer and handcrafter behind Do Good Collar Co.  My company is a dog collar brand that designs + makes meaningful dog collars and leashes for pet parents who want to make a difference in this world. Each design is branded with our motto.  I would really love input on my designs and website.  Not super thrilled with the site but it'll work for now...

Our goal is to create a community of like-minded pet lovers, who will join the Do Good family in helping pets and people in need through purchases made in our online shop. I give 10% of each sale proceed to provide food + other supplies to various organizations. I only have a webstore and will be doing local craft shows.  

I'm struggling with SEO and SM trolls on my posts that only want me to pay them to get me fake followers. : /.

My cause is that when I "see a need to serve the need" and am looking to partner up with Greater Good and Don't Forget the Pets as I love what they're doing around the country for homeless people with pets, domestic violence victims with pets and shelters.

Hi!  I'm Jen Schaefer. I am independent consultant with Paparazzi Accessories. I sell our products through www.3SeaQueens.com, a square site.

Hello everyone! We have a small plant & gift shop at the Jersey Shore called Tiny Greenhouse. 🌱 

Looking forward to connecting with everyone + if anyone needs any houseplant tips check out our website www.tinygreenhouse.com.

We use square for just about everything. Right now we don't have e-commerce. I'd lose my mind (more-so than usual) doing both right now. Props to those who have brick & mortar + e-commerce, you're killin' it.

If anyone wants to connect on Instagram as well for engagement/networking let us know or follow us @Tiny_greenhouse.

Thanks Elisabeth for hosting us!

Thanks for allowing me to join the group.
I run an onlinewaterproofingshop, which basically sells waterproofing and repair products that will increase the longevity of your building.
Hopefully this may help automate the site a little more 😊

Hello everyone.

Developing algorithms for online trading has been my hobby for few years - which is successfully turning into business. Time and brain are the only investments I have done to start this though have been working in the background for years and building reputation in the field, gaining knowledge, collaborating with other users etc.

Few months since officially launched and so far it is keeping me completely busy. Was managing with weebly free plan so far. But, decided to go for premium plan recently. 

Please feel free to go through https://www.trendoscope.com.au if anyone interested. 

Regards,

Sudh

Hi all,

My name is Dianna Marie owner & founder of Remree's Bling's & Thing's an accessory company that offers specialty handcrafted accessories & craft classes to anyone looking to learn about stones & gain new skills. We cater to the accessory junkies & consumers who are seeking to transform their sense of style to Wow! I started my business in 2012 which is the year I started using Square.. I went from doing home events inviting other small businesses, to Pop-ups, to online, to big Festival which I continue to do, & into partnership opening a brick in mortar in Chicago in the heart of Bronzeville in 2016. My background is retail so I decided to take many business classes in retail for operating a brick and mortar. So I started RBT CONSULTING where I coach other small businesses helping from marketing, getting capital, utilizing social media & more to help sell their product.
