    Yes. Stay in school. Buy some spelling flash cards. Pay close attention in English class. Buy a dictionary. Use it. Study, study, study and graduate from high school. Go to college and study marketing. Buy a computer with spell check. Read your dictionary for pleasure and enjoyment. Graduate from college with a degree in marketing. And then start selling those paracord bracelets.

    Cool Well now...

    There are two places in my town that sell paracord bracelets; one being "Wally World." There are also several folks on here that make and sell them, they might respond, however I noticed that this is your 1st post and it smells supiciously like spam! No intro and advertising your product right off the bat...hmmmm....

    Speaking of which, I had a Spam sandwich (actually 2 Spam sandwiches) a few days ago. They didn't smell suspicious at all. Maybe it was because the lightly toasted country style bread masked the scent.

    Now all I have to do is substitute Spam for the peanut butter and Paracord for the chocolate and I can use this marketing scheme....

    (Pay close attention to genius at work, mud mutt)

    Anyone remember this commercial?

    Hey Mud!!!!

    what Ken said +1

    You just walked up to total strangers and asked them to help you figure out how to make money selling para cord bracelets so you can just walk away and not stick around. We have offered advice on this exact subject to several folks that at least had the courtesy to make an introduction. Without seeing your work I couldn't tell you if its worth the price. What makes your bracelet worth $5 compared to the next guy selling them for $5? What accessories are available? Why should I give you $5 for something I make for myself?

    I bought a paracord bracelet from paracordist, (a member here) custom made, had several additional features beside just a bracelet.

    http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...aper-and-sling

    There I did the search for ya.......

    He has several threads on this forum, as well as tutorials, that you can check out.
    Use the search function.

    He did the work, market research, to come up with those additional features that set his apart from the wally world versions, and therefore getting a good profit.
    Profit is where your materials and fasteners are paid for as well as your time....and profit is the money you keep.

    An introduction is a good thing....and be sure to read the rules as far a spam goes....spam in this case would be posting advertizing in your text.

    Cool Awwww...

    I'll certainly miss ole' Mud Mutt. Especially his slack jaw, blank stare, and the drool running down from the left side of his mouth that collects somewhere on the same shirt he's been wearing for the last eight years..... Hey, the genius designed "paracord bracelets," not something you see everyday...maybe every other day....

    Please don't change the subject. Can we talk about my idea about Bacon Flavored Spam Flavored Paracord Bracelets?

    If you used the strands to fish, you might catch yourself a 2D. Is that what you really want?
