Shopping from home is now more popular than ever. Consumers would rather shop in the comfort of their own home rather than spend money on gas and fight crowds and traffic.
Which would you rather do... fight traffic, drive to the store, find a parking place, shop among crowds, shop only during the hours the store chooses to be open for business, spend money on gas? Or would you rather plop down in front of your computer with your favorite beverage and shop when and wherever you wanted, anytime of the day?
One growing area of business in particular is the selling of handcrafted items on the internet. Just a few of the products crafters are selling include soaps, candles, bath bombs and salts, pottery and clay, paintings, spice seasonings, seasoned meat rubs, aromatherapy crafts, quilts, primitive dolls, wood signs, and furniture.
Many crafters don't open an online store because they think it will cost too much, but it is very inexpensive to start an online store. You do not need a programmer or website master to do it for you. A do it yourself site builder hosting setup is all you need, even if you are a beginner.
Some site hosting companies are geared to specific niches, such as handcrafts and craft items. In doing so, they are better able to focus on the needs of your particular type of site, helping you sell more and gain more site traffic for your particular type of business.
For as little as $12.50 a month, you can have a craft website, including hosting and an easy to use DIY site builder. You will need a domain name, which is only $9 per year, and that's about it. You can use PayPal to accept online payments, and the fees associated with that are very reasonable.
This means you can have your products available online for shoppers to purchase 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, for as little as 45 cents per day. Your products will be available for purchase even when you are sleeping. So why do you not have an online store for selling your crafts when it is this affordable?
You may sell your crafts on EBay or other auction sites, but there are fees involved with that and they are not cheap. Not only do you incur store and listing fees, but payment acceptance fees and sales commission expenses as well.
You can use your presence on many of the auction style sites to point traffic to your craft website, as long as you abide by the policies each auction site stipulates for doing that.
You can spend additional monies if you wish on advertising and promotion, but there are so many free ways to do this, you can promote your site successfully without spending a dime.
Imagine being your very own boss, earning an income doing something you truly enjoy, choosing your own schedule, and controlling your business growth as you desire.
If you enjoy crafting and want to sell your products online, you can do so, even if you have an outside job. The cost is extremely affordable, it is a lot of fun, and it is very gratifying to own and promote your own crafting business website.
