So I have been doing some playing about, dowloading stuff like no tomorrow. Made a few cutouts this for a friend, I noticed the star on the A is off a little so adjusted it after this pic this for my key holder and these to sell. Top one is cut, just not weeded

Guessing you're on a Windows not Linux PC?

tip to making money with a vinyl cutter is not to sell stickers, aim for the bigger stuff shops that may need a new sign, leave business cards on plain newish looking vans you see in the supermarket car parks saying "need sign writing?"
Aim high, one big job say sign writing a van should earn you at minimum £200 profit for one days work, you would have to sell many many little stickers to make that amount and to top it all off there is actually more work involved in weeded and preparing loads of small stickers compared to the work load for doing one large job.
you can easily charge up to £500 for a full design and fit service for your average size vehicle.
If you insist on doing stickers then pre make stock, don't take orders and then have to cut them as and when, stickers are not all bad a small selection on sites like eBay can lead people towards the fact that you also do large jobs such as wall art vehicle & shop signage.
make the most of the holidays, Christmas Diwali Easter Halloween etc etc all these event mean people want cheap temporary decorations for there home, vehicle, etc.

Thanks for the advice, very sensible words. Great idea about leaving business cards on new plain vans.
Thanks again

So, its been about a month since I have had the vinyl cutter working right, and i can say I'm loving it. The worst bit is listing on eBay. I have bought the software I need now also. I currently have about 20 auctions on ebay and have sold maybe 25 stickers, some large, but mostly small. I have stock of 4 colours, and it seems to work at the moment. I'm still in debt for the original outlay, but I'm getting there
