Your Own Craft Store

I love making crafts. They are such fun to do and a great way to be expressive. Many people sell their crafts on the internet. The problem is that you have to pay huge fees to run a website or be nickeled and dimed to death for auction sites.

You can turn your crafting projects into a secret side biz for a little additional money. The website etsy.com is nothing but crafts. For a very small fee, you can have a monthly store. Your crafts stay up and there is no limit to how many you can display. It is an auction site without all the headaches of traditional websites.

Another advantage to Etsy is that is nothing but crafts. You know that everyone that visits your Etsy store is looking for crafts. This means you have a target audience the income potential is only limited by the amount of time you have for crafting.

my online store

i was a student when i started selling on the internet. i usually sell clothes and cosmetics. i’m an addict for vintage stuff and i often go to vintage stores with my friends. it’s fun looking up and down the racks for that perfect find. it’s an elation for me to be able to buy stuff with my savings then sell them online. it has helped me get through with my side-expenses. tee-hee.
i sell them via multiply or have them auctioned at ebay. i get more income when i have it auctioned. i used to have a high starting bid. but sometimes i don’t attract enough bidders. so i had it lowered to like a tenth of it’s original price. it’s a bit risky. but the bids go higher and higher. i’ve sold several items that were bought for three times its original price. not the original bid take note.
now, whenever my closet gets full, i unload them, take some shutter clicks and post them online. at least i’ve earned more closet space plus i get my money back. my family got really amazed of what i did. i never told them about that before. but when they did, they take pride in telling their friends that i’m business-wise.
maybe i shouldn’t have taken up medicine. i should have gone into business management or something. but i guess my business is just like what you call “my secret side biz”.
tscha!
