Selling Crafts Online

I've been using Etsy to sell my crafts online but I feel like it's not really worth my time. I have only made 2 sales and I've been a member for a while. Anyone have any tips on how to start making more sales?

I to sell on etsy when I can. It has alot of people and what I do some is get in the discussions and alot of people buy from each other, also twitter is a good aftertizeing spot for your sales, put a signature in you e-mails to advertize your sales when you e-mail others. also go to swap bot and join for free they swap things and you can add your store there for free and maybe draw some sales to your site.

I did a lot of swapping on Etsy for Christmas gifts last year. Maybe I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

while i love etsy, i have to agree with you because there are just so many sellers on there, your stuff just tends to get buried. i am in the same boat as you and am interested in what people have to say. i guess it just depends on what you have to sell on there eh?

I never did well on Etsy. You can try Artfire, it's free. But, you have a lot of competition there. Depends on what you are selling and the price. Or, you can try Ebay. I did best there, but, it cost a lot of money if you post a lot. Good luck.

Did artfire, not much luck there either. I know it's free but they take a fee out of what you make. Unfortunately few things in life are actually free.
