How To Sell Crafts?

How do I sell my crafts?

• I make build shelves and I paint. My last project I put on Creigslist but I want to know is there others ways I can sell my home decoration craft projects?

• Answer:

  You may want to consider starting your own website and posting photographs online so you have a place to direct people to (although Etsy is a great way to have an online presence without the web hosting costs). It looks really professional when you have your own website URL and they typically cost about $10/year. You can also forward your website address www.mydesigns.com to another site you have your crafts on like Etsy or Flickr (though you should probably check with their rules on whether they're okay with that) -- it will look great on your cards, as well as having an email like [email protected] instead of a hotmail or gmail email address. It will make you look bigger and more established than you are! I do my web hosting through Yahoo and have a merchant starter account so people can purchase directly off my site. It costs about $40/month, but with your work, you could just do a simple website where you can post photos of your work and contact information so they can purchase directly from you rather than off your site. This would save you money from the get go. Best of luck!
