I never knew this existed! Amber Venz Box is now worth millions in the 3 figures. All done via the internet. She has changed women’s shopping patters. And how fashions companies advertise.
“Baxter encouraged her to commit to the jewelry line full time, and she made a deal with his incubator to support the business. Still living in her father’s house, she shipped her wares to department stores in New York and set up stands at local markets. “My stuff was, like, really avant-garde. And at this market, I was next to glitter makeup bags,” she says. “I was sort of being snooty and a little offended about my positioning there. But then the first day, I sold $8,000 of jewelry, and they sold $400,000 of the sparkle bags.” She went home to complain to her father. “He was like, ‘Amber, sell to the masses.’” She didn’t have time to implement the lesson. It was 2008, and when the economy took a turn, the business began to collapse.”

WTF does “LTK” even stand for. DAMN writers that use an abbreviation without defining it first!
I did not think I would care about this, but just read the article and that was rather helpful.
Thank you.
I remember way back when one friend or another tried to get me into Amway or later on Amway’s online thing. There were always these “millionaires” who got in earlier. I finally figured out that most of these millionaires already had a million dollars when they bought their way in. Never impressed enough to join.
