Which would you rather do… fight traffic, drive to the store, find a parking place, shop among crowds, shop only during the hours the store chooses to be open for business, spend money on gas? Or would you rather plop down in front of your computer with your favorite beverage and shop when and wherever you wanted, anytime of the day?

One growing area of business in particular is the selling of handcrafted items on the internet. Just a few of the products crafters are selling include soaps, candles, bath bombs and salts, pottery and clay, paintings, spice seasonings, seasoned meat rubs, aromatherapy crafts, quilts, primitive dolls, wood signs, and furniture.

Having a website is much more affordable than many people realize. You do not need to hire a programmer or webmaster. You can use a do-it-yourself site builder and have your site up and functioning in less than a day, even if you are a total beginner.

There are site hosting companies that gear themselves to a particular niche, such as crafting and crafters, which in return helps the site owners fully develop their website’s potential because they are receiving very designated and targeted site building assistance.

The cost for a full featured hosting package that includes the DIY site builder is available for as low as $12.50 per month. The only other item you need is a domain name, and that runs less than $1.00 a month. Other minor fees include merchant fees for accepting online payments, such as credit cards or PayPal.

This means you can have your products available online for shoppers to purchase 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, for as little as 45 cents per day. Your products will be available for purchase even when you are sleeping. So why do you not have an online store for selling your crafts when it is this affordable?

You may sell your crafts on EBay or other auction sites, but there are fees involved with that and they are not cheap. Not only do you incur store and listing fees, but payment acceptance fees and sales commission expenses as well.

You can still benefit from selling products on auction sites, but you gain more by using your auction site presence to steer traffic to your website, making sure you abide by the auction site’s terms for doing so.

As far as advertising and promotion, that is very simple and affordable to do if you know how, and many site promotion methods are actually free to implement.

Imagine being your very own boss, earning an income doing something you truly enjoy, choosing your own schedule, and controlling your business growth as you desire.

If you enjoy crafting and want to sell your products online, you can do so, even if you have an outside job. The cost is extremely affordable, it is a lot of fun, and it is very gratifying to own and promote your own crafting business website.
