Love Crafting? How to Start a Successful Online Business
Get Started and Make Progress in 3 Easy Steps
Are you a creative person who loves to make things? Do you dream of working from home and selling your handcrafted items to people all over the world?
It’s never been easier to turn this dream into reality.
You can start today — you don’t need your own website (although you may wish to create one in future) and very little investment is needed.
You probably already have some items you could sell online. It doesn’t matter what you make. From one-of-a-kind pieces of hand-crafted jewelry to original oil paintings, there is a vast online market for handmade products.
If you already sell your handmade creations at craft fairs, you’ll find a much wider customer base online. Also, the per-item cost of selling items online is usually lower than at craft fairs.
1. Try out Pricing Strategies on eBay
If you’ve never sold your hand-crafted items before and are therefore not sure how to price them, eBay is a good place to start. It supplies a very large number of potential customers and gives you the opportunity to try out a few pricing strategies.
