Homemade Crafts for Sale

Finding out details on homemade crafts for sale will need to cover the topic from two different angles.

I realize that this could mean that you are looking to buy homemade crafts for sale, or could perhaps need to sell your homemade crafts.

Either way I can help you get the best answers out of this subject.

Firstly the initial option – Buying home made crafts for sale.

This should be easy for you to find.  I will give you a few simple tips on how to search for the best ways to buy crafts online.

• Etsy.com This craft website is the 218th most popular website online. This says a massive amount about it. Firstly it tells you that there are a lot of people that are selling crafts online. Then by default it tells you that there are just as many who are buying crafts. I would suggest that even if you are planning to sell crafts that you go to the site and look very carefully at what they offer and at what prices. Then return to me and I will show you ways to outsell them by 10 x.
• Blogger.com Blogger has a massive amount of crafters – some who are extremely well established and a lot who have brilliant quality goods at very competitive prices. Not only that Blogger has a search function that allows you to search for specific topics within blogger itself. Then you can simply see which crafter blogs are following other crafter blogs, and keep jumping from blog to blog that way.
• Keyword search. This would be the method that I would use. My theory would be this – if I was serious about getting quality homemade crafts for sale, and wanted to get the better quality websites that go with that – I would start searching using long-tailed keywords. What this means is that you try to hit the exact match for what you are looking for by putting that keyword into the search bar and going from there. So I would keep adding new variations of what I was looking for until I found a website that had the quality and product and price that matched my needs.

Now the second option – Selling you “homemade crafts for sale”

So if this was what you were looking for when you did your initial keyword search then you have definitely come to the right place.

Seriously – I have clumps of experience in three main things in my life ( well 4 if you count designing things)

The first thing that I have a lot of experience in is running a variety of different small businesses from my home. I have written complete training manuals on how to run small businesses from home.

Secondly I am a very experienced crafter. perhaps not that experienced in producing detailed crafting items (those frilly girlie ones ha-ha) but I have done things like pottery, screen printing, jewelery, temporary tattooing, name on a grain of rice, made a variety of furniture items, designed cribs and things like hammocks.

The point is that I have traded on almost every type of craft place selling the best ways to sell my goods. I did this for over 20 years, and have not yet died of hunger. I have the training product that I sell as my main core product that I promote here on this website.

It teaches you a ton of stuff – from how to pick you initial product to finally showing you tweaks to do to your craft market stall to increase sales.

Then I have discovered my newest passion – and that is Internet marketing. This is by far the most powerful way to promote homemade crafts for sale.

I cannot stress this enough.

If you are really serious about Homemade crafts for sale and are looking for a way to move stock in a serious way – then you need to know how to make a website that actually works.

This definitely does not mean just going out there and getting a website (even worse – never get one for free) and then putting up a few great pictures of your products.

Now I can show you a way to know exactly what people are looking for.

I can show you the easiest way to put your products directly in front of those people that are searching for those products.

I can teach you which of your skills or products have the strongest market.

I can tell you exactly which of your products will have the best time to profit ratios.

I can show you the most direct route to getting your website profitable – without you needing to spend all day every day building up a website.

I admit that you will have to do an hour or two a day for at least 6 months. BUT if my method can get your website to be receiving 6000 visitors a month – would that be worth it?

Different ways of promoting homemade crafts for sale

Sign outside your home

Just putting up a banner outside your house saying “homemade crafts for sale” is not going to get you enough business to pay all the bills. However it is on of the dozens of ways that I do suggest that you market your craft business. I very high quality billboard, sign or placard (non of those words sound right to me – but I think you get what I mean) can bring in quite a lot of business.

In fact I had small freelance agents in different cities at one stage that had a sign outside their homes, and they all lived on busy streets. They carried a few samples knew a bit about the product and earned a commission.

This permanent signboard slowly built up momentum and eventually it had registered into thousands of people memories, and when they needed a hammock, most knew where to go and get one. It did take awhile to build up.

Get agents that market for you

There are a few ways that you can appoint agents in neighboring towns. They can do party planning or simply just go and trade on the craft markets. This would depend upon your product. Homemade crafts could be almost anything from shortbread biscuits to specialist freezing temperature jackets. So each would have different possibilities.

The actual craft markets

Well this one is a given and rather obvious. However what I would like to tel you here quickly is that you need to know that in my experience most crafters can increase their sales by applying a few very simple methods.

Unfortunately when we all start on the craft markets we learn what to do from the person who is trading next to you, and over time simply become an average of the quality of the marketing skills there on the market. Some crafters could literally sell 20 or 50 times what they are doing by changing how they market. Even the best crafters could get 20 or 30% more sales by listening to what I can tell them

We are never too good to stop learning some new ideas.

A real website.

Not some silly free blog. I feel exactly the same about some new crafter that pitches up at a country market with 20 pretty items that they made, and their potential to even cover their costs, and the person who starts a free blog and hopes that someone might find them online.

Running a website involves about 20 to 30 very easy to apply things that will catapult your website to page one, and keep you very busy forever.

More, more and even more.
