Thank you so much guys! I really enjoy sharing with people and allowing them to hang out in my small and humble shop. Subscribe to the channel if you can. I add video a few times a week!

Hope you guys enjoy my video!

Thought I would share a new YouTube series I started on leather craft and hanging out in my leather shop with me doing shop talk. Please watch, like, comment and share. Thanks! Here is episode 4:

Sorry for delayed reply...thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!! I am advertising in concealed carry magazine starting jan 2015 and they are also doing a review of my belts in Feb/March issue.

Look at my site and that will give you a good idea as to the life you should bring to the site. http://www.thompsontacticalbelts.com post your number, logo, you already hae nice pics and write a blog post every day for the next 30 days. This will increase your seo presenec but make sure you have all your keywords. Also look to do a giveaway to increase awareness to your facebook page. Focus, focus, focus on youtube even if you have to give products away for free so that someone will talk about it. Then post those reviews on your site. If you look on my site at the very bottom-I have a video of me making belts. Video is very powerful. Do a home video of you making the wallets. Does NOT have to be fancy. This will connect customers with you. Also, tell a story. paint a picture of what they are buying. Think of adding free shipping and posting a video fo you talking about yourself and how you got started in leathercraft. People want to connect with who they are buying from. I have that on my site under "About the owner"

Go On Youtube and have customers of yours do reviews of your products. Get an attractive logo (worth every penny) on 99designs.com Post custom work on your personal facebook and try to attract friends to buy from you. More people than you might think want to support you and see you succeed. I think your site needs some life to it. Looks very plain. Work on logo asap. Consider SEO person if you can afford it. You need to rank for the key terms you are trying to attract. Last but not least, just give it time...The sale will come. Try etsy if you'd like. Hope this helps you!

Hi everyone! I make gun belts and was wondering who (in your experience) as worked out well with you in terms of advertising? Im looking at forums mainly and even magazines that are reasonably priced. Please send me opinions on good gun forums that you have used and you have seen ROI (return on investment) with. Thank you SO much!

Waiting on a pic from the new owner! Will share as soon as available thanks!

I really like this. Good job.

Diggin it

May I ask what laser engraver set up you have? Also how much you paid for the total setup? Thanks!

Great job! Looks great to me!

Yup! That is the goal! haha

Thank you!

Made this with my Cowboy 3200 today.

Great tips, thank you so much. That will certainly help me.

Thank you gentleman for your knowledge! I really appreciate it!

Thanks Rohn!

Fellow belt makers, Thank you for your time. What is the proper formula to measure for a belt? Is it to measure from the end of the buckle to the hole they use most? I have a formula that I have been using based on their waist size. A lot of my customers don't measure a belt they've been using and just give me a waist size. I thought I had the formula down and now lately I've been getting customers saying that the belt they received is too long! Sooo Frustrating!! Please help with a formula in which I can determine the length of the belt based on their waist size. Thank you!

My first leather camera bag I made for my sisters photography business. I goofed on a few spots but next time will be better. Perfect practice makes perfect!

Thank you Johanna!!!!!

Thank you Rohn, I really like it a lot. It can do belts, holsters, sheaths, whatever. Eventually when I learn to make saddles, I'm going to be looking at the Cowboy 4500 in addition to this machine. I'd like to have both in my shop

Hi Johanna, Can I use "Jess Jones"? That is the name of my new leather business. Thank you!

Thanks!!!

Beautiful work!
