Peddle your goods online

Selling homemade goods online is a
modern turn on old-fashioned small business. Leslie Truex, who runs
WorkAtHomeSuccess.com, says these are true cottage industries.
Some of these businesses are even
bringing assistants into their homes to help them produce their products, which
can be clothing, jewelry or any number of assorted knickknacks. The crafters
then advertise their products on popular websites like Etsy, Artfire and Craftsu.
Selling goods or crafts can be a
good way for a student or recent graduate to make a few extra bucks if it's
something they enjoy doing, but they need to think about the time involved in
their work and whether it will pay off.
"Most people will fail, but a
few will be successful," Truex says. "The key is the ability to
market themselves." You need to be able to know your market, and know
where your potential clients can be found, she says.
James Dillehay, author of "How
to Price Crafts and Things You Make to Sell," lives near Santa Fe, N.M.,
and says it's important to build up a customer base.
"Because there is so much
competition, don't put all your hopes and resources into developing an Etsy
store while ignoring face-to-face markets," he says.
Etsy reported $62.8 million in goods
sold in March -- or more than 3 million items sold. The site charges 20 cents
to list an item and 3.5 percent of sales. But don't think you must stick to
just Etsy. Other craft sites out there are free, and some just charge a flat
fee.
