But with the help of a friend, I made my passion for making homemade Jam, Jelly, and Pickle business into reality. We grew the business from local Detroit market to state and then regional and eventually to national level. We passed the million dollar sales mark in 2015. Since then we were contacted by a few name brand companies with purchase offers. But that is not relevant to this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wrote this book to share my knowledge and experience with people everywhere that share the same passion as I do. And to show how they can get started in this business journey right from home and make it a million dollar success eventually, but one word of caution, it will not happen overnight. It will take some hard work and plenty of focus and dedications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor you to see great success, you need to start by doing these followings: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart from home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate a brand around your product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave a niche that makes you stand out from rest of the crowd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind out what flavors sell the most\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate a line with no more than 5-7 SKU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarket the product by taste test and word of mouth in local shops and markets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell it sounds simple enough I am sure especially as I write this, but for me, the learning curve was a very steep one at first.
