INTRODUCING
I have to admit, the thought of selling online scares me but I have received so much positive feedback that I decided to take the plunge and dive right in. I can't say I am not terrified because I am. It is one thing to create and sell things at fairs and in front of your home. It is a totally different thing to actually sell in online because then it all becomes real and no longer really a hobby but the beginning of your business.
Being selective is definitely something I have to do. I do not want to just sell anything. I want to sell selected pieces that I feel are a good representation of my work and who I am as a crafter.
The fees are much less than ebay or any other site I have looked into and you can customize your shop to the way you want it to look like. I purchased special customized banners for my shop through http://www.etsy.com/people/DollvilleStudio. I love the banners they have and it fit my style perfect. Even though the items are limited, what they have is worth purchasing. The above banner was purchased from Dollville Studio.
I have only placed 5 items up for sale to start off with but I will add more once I get the feedback I need to create items that people will not only purchase as gifts but would like to purchase for themselves.
I can only hope my fan base will grow and making this tough decision proves to be the greatest decision I have made to grow my business.
