TT016: Make Money Selling your Craft Online


Listen Later

Wouldn’t it be just great to get up in the morning and not have to beat traffic to make it to work in time? Well that possibility may exist for you depending on how diligent you are with your craft. Welcome to the 21st century where a large number of transactions are online driven. What if I told you that you can sell your stuff online and make a healthy margin? I’ve sold coffee tables, dining tables, cutting boards at margins of 50% to 1000%. If you’re interested then read on.
I’ve sold a lot of my creations online and i’ll share with you some of the places where i’ve found great clientele that were willing to pay the prices that I commanded.
1) Etsy.com is a great place to sell your craft. Whether it be earnings, a coffee table, or even toys, etcy is definitely something you want to check out. It has an enormous online presence and provides access to millions of customers.
2) Cragslist is another great way sell your already made products. Its free to list and you get access to a very large number of clientele. The thing to watch out for craigslist is the clientele will be looking for value hence lower prices. Be careful of what you put on craigslist because you don’t want to erode your margins.
3) Custommade.com is another popular website that connects people looking for custom work with those that can create their desired piece. Customers submit pictures or drawings of what they are looking for and a “maker” will go ahead and provide a quote to design what they are looking for in an efficient manner. The caveat is this is only available in the US at the moment.
Tune in to the podcast for this week to hear about the rest of the online resources that can help drive volume for you business.
