Selling Your Artwork Online With Etsy and Craigslist

Etsy.com has grown to be the #1 selling site for artists, crafters and jewelry makers. You can create your own store, load it full of images of your jewelry and use the Etsy selling software to take and process the orders. Just like an eBay store, you can create custom headers for your store that help brand your business and upload hundreds of items to sell.
The Etsy software handles all of your customer orders and again, all you need is a PayPal account to participate. Using your Twitter account, you can direct your friends and followers to individual listings on your store to promote and sell. The jewelry artists I have talked to love this site and are making big profits for very little investment.
Craigslist is another popular outlet for advertising your artwork. It doesn't take orders and there is no store to list your items. But it is a free classified listing that's searchable all over the world and comes up high in Google results. Unlike your local newspaper, there are no fees to advertise your business and you can put pictures of some of your items (up to 4) and add your phone number if you wish. Anyone in the world can reply to your ad by an email message as well.
Using the power of these free resources to sell your artwork online will make your sales soar. All you need is the proper training and guidance to take your online store to the next level.
