Interview with Owner of My Very Own Mail

Last weeks featured home business was My Very Own Mail, owned by Lisa. Lisa and I did an interview about her home business and I now have the results with some intriguing information.

What is your business in a nutshell?
I send fun personalized letter packages to children - once a month, each subscribed child receives a letter from me talking up a great book and encouraging the children to enjoy reading, even if that means being read to, for my younger bookworms. They also receive a fun, easy-to-do craft project, and a goodie, like a bookmark, or stickers, or tattoos, or erasers, etc. The theme of the book I talk about, and the craft, and the goodie - are all coordinating. For example, this month, we are talking about animals.

What is your day to day like? i.e. - How many hours a day do you work, what is your daily schedule like?
I am generally at the computer all day long, but, along with my letter business, I also do other things online to generate a little income. I try to force myself to get off the computer to do housework, but, that doesn't always sound so appealing! So I am here at the computer, promoting my business in one way or another, working on letters, blogging (http://www.myveryownmail.com/BookwormBroadcast) or working on my other online endeavors almost all of the time. Can you say obsessed?

What made you decide to start the 'letter business'?
I was looking online for work several years ago, getting caught up in one scam after another, when I accidentally did the best possible thing. I bought a $12 ebook - the cheapest one I had ever bought! And inside this little gem, was my answer! The ebook was basically a list of possible businesses you could start from home, and one of the ones listed was personalized letters for kids. I put my own spin on it - the bookworm spin! - and went from there!
