1.?Decide your products
The first thing that you need to start selling craft online is, of course, choosing and making the products you’re going to sell! Many crafters make multiple types of craft.?Variety can be an advantage, but not always.
Sometimes,?too many products can make your shop look messy. Maybe even more like a flea market rather than an online store! If you overcrowd your shop, you?can overwhelm your potential customers?and chase them away. We don’t want that, right?
My advice in selling craft online is to try to?stick to types of products within the same scope. So if you sell handmade craft, you can sell greeting cards, shadowboxes, and papercut decorations. The same goes for clothes like hats, shirts, and tote bags.?Avoid mixing many types of items in one shop.
2. Manage a niche?
Once you have decided on what to sell, the next step is to find out?to whom you’re going to sell your products. Wanting to promote your products to everyone is great, but remember that?a Jack of all trades is a master of none!
The best way to approach selling craft online is to?aim your sales at a more specific group of people. Whether it’s by gender, age, occupation, or hobbies. This is called a niche market.
So essentially, finding the right niche will be a sure way of bringing your business?one step closer to success.
I have touched on this aspect in this article too?(see point 4!)
