Hey :D
I wasn't sure which category to put this in, so sorry if it's wrong!
Basically I've just started making my own jewellery and cozies for ipods/ds'/mobiles.
and i'm not sure what to call myself.
I have two names so far and they are
*The lollipop look
*May Contain Nuts
Any help on that would be great :)
BUT
the main question is where and how i could sell my stuff? I've thought about ebay, but i don't think i'll be able to make as much money as i would like.
Suggestions would be awesomeeeeee
Thanking you xx
Etsy is a great place to sell your items. It specializes in handmade crafts & items. Basically you have your own little e-shop on their site to sell your items.
As for being able to make sales, it doesn't matter what site you sell them on, you need to focus on promoting your items. On Etsy, you can buy a space to have your item featured for like a day (I think), so more people will see the item. You can also post links to your Etsy page on other sites & forums, usually craft sites, or even sites that allow "self promotion" posts.
And for the name, it's a great idea to do something a little catchy, but in the end, it's your items that should matter most, not the site name, so just pick something you like & that you probably won't want to change sometime down the road.
FOLLOW UP: Just wanted to let you know that etsy does charge 20 cents to advertise an item for four months. When you sell an item, they charge a 3.5 transaction fee, but you only pay your bill once a month. You can find out more here: http://www.etsy.com/fees.php

Thank you :)
have you ever sold anything on etsy? I was led to believe that they charge you to sell stuff and then take a percentage after as well?
