Selling on-line for a home based craftsperson Handmade as a business is thriving in the U.S. and across the globe. The growing rate of sellers on specialty sites is testament to the demand for unique items that are not "high end labels". There's a growing undercurrent against the conspicuous labels as status--and the rising respect for uniqueness and individuality. If you create and sell your work, jewelry, sculpture, needlework, sewing, quilting, photography, printing, painting.....and so on, you have so many choices to sell online. They include: Etsy.com dawanda.com trunkt.com mintd.com blujay.com craigslist.com lovli.com indiecollective.com oakboston.com To sell your wares locally be sure to check these possiblities: -consignment shops (check the trendier neighborhoods) -museum gift shops -art galleries -local non-profit chapters (i.e. cystic fibrosis, children's charities, Red-Cross, Ronald McDonald house, churches and private schools) for fundraising venues that include a "market place". Usually they charge a per-table fee + a small percent of sales. -chamber of commerce for upcoming craft shows -craft show links such as craftlister.com and indiecraftshows.com (If you decide to prepare for a craft show I'll be writing intel later with tips and hints.)
