A lot of people create amazing crafts which could easily be marketable although aren't truly positive where to go to actually sell them. There are some different methods for you to select if you desire to sell crafts online.
The most popular would be to sell crafts at places such as Etsy and eBay although if you're comfortable with having your own website that's also a good way to go.
The first way to sell crafts online is to sell them at places like Etsy or Ebay.
Etsy is my personal favorite with regards to selling crafts online because it is becoming widely recognized for selling homemade goods. Which means that when someone would like to buy something made by hand and distinctive there's a far greater possibility of them going to Etsy to find something they would like to buy.
I also like Etsy for selling crafts online because it is super easy to set up your own craft store. While you are there take a peak around because they also allow craft supplies to be sold on Etsy. Who knows, maybe you will find an awesome deal on things you need to make your crafts.
Another way to go about selling your crafts is to build your own website to sell them on. This is actually very easy to do if you use wordpress to put it together. Wordpress is commonly used for many of the blogs people read. It is incredibly user friendly and easy to set up.
If you choose to use your own website to sell crafts then you are going to also need to use a payment processor. Paypal is a very good choice to use because it is wide spread and allows you to accept credit cards.
In order to sell crafts on your own website you will also want to get hosting like hostgator. I love using hostgator for the reason that it's affordable, has great service, and it is quite simple to set up wordpress blogs.
Even so if you're not really familiar with the technical side of the Internet I would recommend that you sell crafts online starting out with selling on a place like Etsy. You can list 5 crafts in your Etsy store for $1. It does not get much better then that when you are getting a feel for selling your crafts online.
