ETSY

Etsy is an online shop where you can buy and sell handmade things. This website would be a great way for me to sell my handmade cards, books, illustrations and artwork. You have to pay a small fee for every product you have up for sale, and then when it is bought you bank the money you put it up for. Its a good way of gaining fans, when people buy one thing, they may be inclined to buy loads of your work. Also you have to keep up the pace of re-uploading new products so that you appear on the home page, and gain more recognition. Its a great incentive to get you to work at a pace and learn to deal with the pressure of coming up with new ideas, and when things have been bought, to be able to re-stock quickly.

We see a world in which very-very small businesses have much-much more sway in shaping the economy, local living economies are thriving everywhere, and people value authorship and provenance as much as price and convenience. We are bringing heart to commerce and making the world more fair, more sustainable, and more fun."
