Using Etsy

I think one the most resourceful sites out there for craft-makers is Etsy. Some people can't afford making their own site to sell hand made products (me), so etsy makes it a whole lot easier. Here's how it works:
-make an account
-become a seller (you will need a credit card for this)
-start posting your work
  ~make sure you have clear, eye-catching photos
  ~do not over price, this includes shipping
-find a way to advertise
  ~I would suggest deviant art for this one (next blog about that)
  ~posting in the etsy forums or talking in the chat is helpful as well
-you can make the profile look better with a banner and a nice bio about yourself as well

It's as easy as that! So far, I've had about 3 sales and been on for 2 months. Hoorah!
