MAKE MONEY FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME


     There are many was to make money on the internet.  Until now I have focused on just one way.  Today I will introduce another.  

     When I was a boy, my mother started a home based business creating arts and crafts and selling them at craft shows and fairs around the region.  She spent many hours every day creating her products so that once or twice a month she could load it all in her car and travel to a mall somewhere for a three day chance to SELL her products.  Most of her products were very popular and her sales revenues were usually good but the time spent travelling and set up selling kept her from producing more products.  

     People who are creative or can make something out of nothing can open up "stores" in a variety of online marketplaces. Unlike the old craft fairs theses shops are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week and can reach a far greater number of potential buyers for the products.  Sites like Ebay and Amazon offer advertising and name recognition for new vendor.  For the more crafty there is also Etsy a relatively new venue for handmade products.  All these sites offer your a place to sell your wares and reach a wide variety of customers.  

     My sister and her daughter have recently started creating handmade products.  The first step after making the products was listing the on Ebay.   The products were not right for the Ebay marketplace.  Her next try was Etsy a marketplace designed for handmade products.   As of now she has just started on Etsy and I invite all of you to check out her site and look at her products at www.etsy.com/shop/AislingsNeedfulThing?ref=search_shop_redirect

     Let me know what you think......I will keep you posted.

       UPDATE

     My sister is still waiting for her first sale on Etsy.  She is getting a lot of looks and we are hopeful that it is only a matter of time till that first sale comes in.  Go by the shop and pick up your favorite.  Prices cannot stay this low forever.
