Your crocheted hats look gorgeous. Other options for selling crafts online include eBay and artfire.com
Good Luck

Packaging is the key. Even if going to the craft shows, are you letting your wares exposes to handling or are they in packages ready to sell as 1 is displayed in front? Are they are hangers? Are they in proper containers? You've got to make them sell-ready because even if you have a great product, it won't sell if the package isn't there to make the difference.

Well, ya just did! Your name is "out there" on thriftyfun! Wasn't that easy? Now, try facebook or any of the other social networking sites; get your profile up and invite friends and family to join you. That way, everyone who is a friend on facebook etc. will be linked to you remotely as friends of friends or family. Have them all spread the word from their profiles as well. You have a lovely little model by the way! Good luck and God bless

Well, the hat is adorable. If you made hats for a local girl scout, brownie or daisy troop to wear to a big event (a field trip or jamborie), I would bet other troops would ask where they got them and maybe order hats for their girls. You might ask to have a small display in a local boutique, on a trial basis to see if your products sell. If they are popular, the store will likely order more. Also, always wear your product yourself. Then, when people ask where you got the cute hat, sweater, etc., you can give them your details for ordering their own.

The hat is and the little girl are adorable. It is soooo hard to sell on Etsy, just the right person has to happen across your site. I had jewelry on there for a few months and sold one piece. There are so many others out there doing the same thing on Etsy that the competition is staggering. I think you are on the right track trying to sell them yourself, no one can sell them like you can.
Having said that I am setting up a site currently to sell my crafts and photographs. I will have to work at getting the search engines to find me but I figure it was free to set up the site so what do I have to lose? You might think about setting up a site with a few others, if you have someone computer savy(I'm not but it's a pretty easy site to work with) even better. I used wordpress.com for mine; here is the address if you want to take a look, remember it is still in the fledgling stages. http://ramblinannie.wordpress.com Good luck.

How about taking your handmade items to a craft fair like at a school, church, or firehall?

I don't know if it is a matter of getting your name out there or not. I always figure with things like that, it is a matter of whether or not people want your product, and whether or not they think the prices are too high. If they are scrolling through etsy and come across your items if they want something, they will buy it. Is there a craft consignment store in your area that you could display your items?
I am good in craft work; I produce some craft things, but I don't know what are the best ways to sell my product. Can someone please give me some ideas?

I agree with By If you check on ebay you will find a lot of baby products that are hand made and really cute. One seller actually has patterns for sale if needed. They have made so many more things that weren't available two years ago. I'd check it out and then use your imagination. I've also seen jewelery that is hand made. Just check out crafts on ebay and see if anything is interesting. All types of organizations have craft shows and rent out tables if you'd rather stay local, or see if you can post items for sale in local stores.
What's the best way to sell my handmade crafts?
Has anyone had any luck with selling your home-made crafts? I am looking for a way to make extra income.
