Question: Having a successful online jewelry and craft business...?

Does anyone have any expert advice on selling handmade items from home? I have a website and sell on Etsy.com, and just made a myspace networking page, but it is going slowly. I am going to post some cheaper items, because it seems like lower price points will do better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Answer: Higher priced items will be more difficult to sell online if you are a small business owner, or an individual. The customers are more skeptical about return policies, what they will be recieving vs. what they ordered, etc.
Boost their confidence by offering guarantees of satisfaction, maybe you could 'pay for shipping and insurance' (keep this in mind when listing the purchase price)
have lots of nice, vivid photographs of the items, capturing from many angles. Let the light bounce off the jewellry and dazzle the prospective buyer!

You have beautiful works of art...Make sure that people can see that.

We have been trying to come up with some ideas on what to do and a home based bussiness or job would be ideal for them because of the restrictions they have. Can you please help us.

Answer: Interesting in how similar my situation was.

I had to have an arm amputated from bone cancer. I lost my (very) good paying job and needed to find another source of income to replace what I had lost.

I had applied for disability and was rejected twice. I then started looking for a Home Based Business, and came across the one I am with. There were alot of things that stood out about this than others.

No inventory
No monthly sales quota
only $20 per month to stay active
Sole proprietary technology
Unique to the industry.

All that PLUS......"Travel is the largest category od e-commerce, accounting for 43% of all online spending" - Dan Hess, CNN MONEY

When I saw that travel accounts for $.43 out of EVERY dollar spent online (worldwide) I knew that I should look into this.

I have been with this company for almost two years now and things are only getting better.
