Hi, after graduating college I decided to open a small at-home bakery. I have only sold to friends and family so far. I have made a profit of about $150 in one month. Is this good for starting out? Is there any advice on how to grow?

Nice! Any profit is a good start! here’s some ideas.
Put on a business casual outfit get cards and flyers made go around to every small local owned coffee shops and offer samples and send follow up emails about possibly carrying your baked goods. You can get all of the custom packaging on Amazon.
Really any small mom and pop shop would also be good as well. Even independently owned gas stations is a possibility.
Find local makers markets, farmers markets and set up booths there.
Maybe start a subscription box in your local area where people can subscribe and get a box of baked goods every week, 2 weeks or month.
Post on your instagram/ facebook and TikTok every day and offer shipping and the subscription box. People love home made things!
Thank you, these are all such amazing ideas! I will definitely start implementing them.
Set up your website if you’re not good at that kind of stuff find someone on fiverr to do it for you you can find quality work for inexpensive on fiverr
