My empanada didn't click

It's okay since it is very tiring to do and I really don't have time to do it. I thought people like empanada but they do not. I display them in my store but very few buy them. I got sales selling it on friends on Facebook. So for now my plan is just to focus and do my best to tutor my 3 students. My pasalubong treats are selling now. I will just also do my best in my printing and laminating business. At least I give it a try and I learn from my experiences. I will just do my best with my remaining small time business.

Did you ask around why people do not enjoy empanadas? May be it's not a common food for your country. A young user from your country yesterday told me that he has no idea what empanadas are.

It is not common because very few sell them and they are not easily available. Anyway at least I tried. I just sell foods that don't need to be cook and can stay fresh for many days like cupcakes and biscuits

@averygirl72 It is a good idea, less work for you and you do not have to fry every day to have them fresh to sell.

Glad you still try , sometimes you need to try something new to learn something. Keep up the good work, maybe you can still cook empanada then give it as a treats on your students hahaa

Well, sometimes you need to improvise on it to make it more appealing to the buyers. Sometimes it takes time before your product would start to sell well.

I think it's time to give up on that idea and better to think of other way to increase our store's income

Yes it is good to try new things and now you know that one won’t work out and maybe you will have another business idea soon. That’s great your other treat is selling!

It's not what I expect but at least I give it a try

Nowadays, people really think first before buying something. Money is hard to earn, right. So maybe you are right to just focus on tutoring and selling other goodies.

What you said is true. I actually feel more relieved that I realize this is something hard for me
