"Real" business cards...finally!

I started out printing my own business cards. There's nothing wrong with that...except the price. Not only is printer ink expensive, but the perforated cardstock is absolutely ridiculous! So I looked around the internet and weighed my options. I finally settled on GotPrint. I ordered 1,500 cards altogether; 1,000 are business cards, and the other 500 I designed so that I could cut each one in half to make hangtags (it worked perfectly and this will be the subject of a future post). The 1,000 business cards are two-sided full-color glossy, and cost a mere $15.99! So, here they are:

My tummy hurts.

I just ordered a thousand full-color glossy two-sided business cards and also a thousand glossy two-sided hangtags (which are actually 500 business cards that I will cut in half). The best part is, I got all of them for less than $50, including shipping, from www.gotprint.com.

So why am I feeling nauseated at the thought of spending the money? I'm excited to get them and I know I can't do business without them (in addition to the fact that they will save me buckets of expensive printer ink), but I have such a hard time spending money! I think it's a combination of not being used to having $50 to spend, and also the uncertainty of when or if I'm going to make more money. Business is going okay and ought to pick up even more in coming weeks and months, but every sale is still a surprise to me. I wonder how many other Etsy sellers feel like this, getting cold sweats at even the minor expenses?
