Quiet Books
This is the problem, Making Quiet Books is really very time consuming and speaking from experience selling them is just not worth while. It took me about 3 mths to make the 5 Quiet Books I made for my grandchildren and my sisters one grandchild. I didn't work on them every day but as Christmas loomed nearer I worked on them constantly for days. Trying to calculate my time and expense is so hard. I think I could make one book in 10 days if I sat at it for at least 5hrs a day. So how do you charge for 50 hrs of work. It really is just not cost effective to sell them. I think $75- $100 a book is not bad for all the work ( that works out to $2 an hour if I were to charge $100) but who would pay that. I think most people would do what I do ,look at it and say 'Oh she's crazy I can make it for less than that" and then never get around to doing it because it takes so much time and decipline to get it done.
