Earn Cash By Selling Vintage Handmade Jewelry On The Internet

By Andrea Davidson


If you're planning on selling vintage handmade jewelry via the web, then Etsy might be worth considering. It's an e-commerce site focusing on the sale of vintage products plus arts and crafts. To offer something as vintage, it needs to be over 20 years old. In addition, Etsy will charge you 20 cents for every product you put on display. Starting a shop on Etsy is free though.

Creating a shop on Etsy is fairly straightforward. You only need to complete their online registration form and opt in to their selling option. You will have to choose which language you want your store to be in and what currency you want to trade in. Don't worry if you need to change these later on, it's easy to do. In addition, you'll have to state how you want buyers to pay you and give your own billing details to Etsy.

To make it easier for your customers, you can add sections to your shop which list items for sale by group. You can have up to 10 sections, however you must also give visitors to your shop the option of seeing all of your merchandise together. You can change the name of your sections and alter the order in which the sections appear.

To generate more visitors to your store, you might want to link it to Facebook and Twitter. This is not difficult to do and Etsy tell you how. You can also add a tweet button or a Facebook like button to encourage people to spread the word about your shop.

It is important to have a proper business plan for your online store. This will help you to identify your objectives and give direction to your efforts. It is never easy to make money and you will have to take a professional approach. Etsy will not do the work for you.

Getting excellent photographs of your products is extremely important. Remember that people browsing your shop will not be able to handle your stock so they will have to make buying decisions based on sight only. Ensure the pictures are of high quality and clear. Take shots of your items from various angles. If a browser can see each side of the item then they are more likely to buy.

It's really important that you price your items correctly. When doing this, take into consideration the cost of making them, the time you spend and how much it will cost you to ship your items to the buyer. On top of that, you will want to work out what profit you might be able to make.

Deciding on the target market you are aiming at will help you to be more successful. The best way to do this is to try and envisage who your perfect customer would be. Try to think about whether they are male or female, their age, where they hang out, what they do as a job and whereabouts they live. This will help you to design relevant marketing and hopefully lead to more sales of your vintage handmade jewelry.
