What he is saying is you could build that using the proper tools. I am not familiar with the Letter version of VM but the Pro certainly could do that. You will need some practice to understand your program but you are basically creating a stack of the different colors in the design. If you have the red background that would be the first color layer and then the white and then the black and then the blue typically. To build that you will perform several operations to create them in a cut ready file. This is a mid level design job, not too complicated but not a simple one either. If you don't have a good handle on what the cutter is going to need for each layer it will be a good one to learn some skills.

Vinyl master calls them outlines. Not sure what level of VM you own and some things may not be available depending on the level.

You need a store, even a basic store to start out. I am not living rich,, but I don't owe anyone, except utilities. I work from home. And still have plenty of freedom to live my life. I will take those big $100 plus orders that only take 1- 1.5 hours to make over 100 $1 decals that take 2-3 hours or more. I could do so much more than what I do, I have turned down alot. But I am happy with what I do. I already had a 30 year career. I am 69, female, from a small town..

No matter where you sell, it takes a special product. 1 ad on Ebay will do nothing.. You need at least 300-1000 ads, to keep people in your website. And you need items for impulse buyers. And that does not ensure a sale. There is tons of competition out there. More so with all the Chinese cutters being sold. You have to be creative. I started back in 2006, and have a following. I provide fast service, quality items, with unique designs. And I don't sell cheap. I make a very good profit. It takes you selling and someone else seeing it, and wanting it also. Some of my items never sold, so those ads get replaced with something else to try out. I don't just stop posting new ads. I am always posting and replacing ads. I will be spending months posting new products. Already started. Any place that sells, has to come up with new products to keep customers. I continued with a full time job for about 14 months, until my business supported me. At which time. I purchased a new Graphtec FC7000MK2-75 (30") which made my business much better, than fighting a value cutter. I had that cutter paid off in 5-6 weeks. I still own that cutter and it just keeps making me great money.
