Etsy - Check It Out!

Etsy is a website for crafters, artists & designers to sell their wares at a very low cost to a worldwide audience. The only caveat is that the items you intend to sell on Etsy are handmade and not mass produced. This is a great venue for all indie crafters, artists & designers to get a foot in the cyberspace doorway.

Upon joining Etsy, you receive you very own website which is simple to use even if all you've ever done on a computer is answer email. There is a tiny fee to list each item. Item listings last for six months or until the item sells or you remove it yourself. When an item sells there is another small fee which is a percentage of the selling price.

Etsy is worth a look if you don't have a website now or if you are looking for a quick, inexpensive way to get more traffic to an existing site.
