Love yarn crafts? You can make a successful living doing what you love! There are many options for selling fiber arts, and there is a market for everyone. However, this doesn't mean that it's simple. You have to be prepared to find your niche, market yourself and do your best.
The word "handmade" evokes feelings of warmth, of comfort, of craftsmanship. Earlier this summer, I mentioned some cool niche sites serving the artisan community in my 19 new additions to a large ecommerce list. Amazon and eBay are certainly well known marketplaces among those looking to sell just about anything, but niche marketplaces and communities are growing quickly.
While Etsy has plenty of features, nothing can compare to Shopify in terms of design and data. If you're serious about growing your business from scratch, this site can take you to the top, just like it did for the successful handmade jewelry store Biko (refer to video below).
Selling stuff you made yourself isn't new to the internet. However, the internet's biggest retailer is now getting in on the game with Homemade at Amazon. The new service allows existing or new sellers to apply for a special type of listing for handmade goods.
Shopify makes it easy to start a business and sell handmade items and crafts online. It takes only minutes to open an online store and start selling handcrafts to customers around the world.
