Today will make a week since we got back from our “23 Days in Italy” vacation adventure. You can see it all here: http://jerrycapote.com/category/23-days-in-italy/ Well, after a week back I am almost ready to open my decal business. But first things first. I double-checked my vinyl rolls to make sure I had everything I needed […]
Hi guys. I thought I would post this one just for fun and also to illustrate how quickly and easily I can make a few bucks in just a few minutes. I will show you in the video below. Making vinyl decals is soft labor, but you get paid for your expertise, your specialized equipment, and the cost […]
I found this news clip on YouTube featuring Trading Phrases, a small family-owned wall decal business located in Columbus, Ohio that was started back in 2008 right from their home. Today they have seen their wall decal business grow and are enjoying much success. Watch the clip… Very encouraging for those looking to get into the business…
How is my wall decal business doing these days? I get asked that a lot from curious readers. Probably because my last post was back in September of 2013. I also think people are curious about how long a small online business like mine can last before the owner/operator decides to throw in the towel all because the […]
I made a decent amount of sales this past week. Decent for me, at least. I wanted to share this with you to tie it into the post I wrote last week regarding “My Part-Time Passive Income Home-Based Business“.

There is not too much to say with this step. I demonstrate how to weed the excess vinyl using my tool of choice and my self-taught methods. What is important is that you get a feel for working with vinyl. That means “Hands-on”. You are going to mess up, but you get better at it. […]
I created this video to show you the process which I follow to create a custom wall decal. I decided I would show all the steps that I take all in one shooting. Later, I will be providing follow-up videos to discuss each of the steps in more detail. But, for now, this is the […]
Before I go into the nuts and bolts of signing up and putting together an Etsy shop, I want to talk about how I came to choose the type of merchandise that I am now selling on Etsy, and how I studied the decal market to determine if this was the right business for me. […]
I started my Sunshine Decals Etsy shop on October of 2010, just over a year ago from this writing. It was my next door neighbor and best buddy, Willy, who told me about the Etsy.com market website. At the time I was considering how to sell wall decals online. I had some experience selling drop-shipped […]
