RAMONA WEST - VINTAGE ONLINE (JUST LIKE ME..SOON!)


So, was looking into who/why/how vintage clothing online works, how it happens and was searching for websites out there that I am hoping Yo Vintage will be like, e.g. successful! So on a whim, I emailed this girl - Ramona West, a few quick questions:

Did you have to pay a lot for your web page? (ok, in hindsight, I prob shouldn't have asked this as no one talks money right?!)

How long have you been in business?

In a week - how much do you sell?

Are you making a good enough profit to make a living?

Any tips that you have learnt along the way?

She got back to me, she replied!!!! J'adore!

hi sarah

thanks for checking out my blog!

to answer some of your questions:
1. i have been in business for about 2 1/2 years
2. weekly sales vary!
3. i do make a living - this is my full time gig
4. advise: be prepared for lots of work! you have to be willing to make this thing your life.

good luck!

How NICE! So have a look at her website she has some lovely pieces (one good turn deserves another - learnt that one in Brownies). Felt totally inspired again (I CAN DO THIS!) She was definitely right about No 4. I seem to be working a lot (or maybe shopping and blogging alot). All the time, my mind is CONSUMED with business, dreaming, thinking, eating YO at the mo.
