   First you should start by doing craft shows and around Holidays you could also rent a small space at your local mall or after doing enough craft shows and giving people your contact info you get enough customers to open your own store or you get a website and you could also sell on ebay…..

   I have a lot of info about doing “polymer clay” as a business on my website, but much of the info would apply to any “craft” business. So here are some pages that could help:

   This is the main page:

   ALSO:

   (helpful for photographing your work for online, etc.)

   Good luck!

   First i tried the markets i make all my handmade crafts but i did not get much sales you have to pick a good market by doing research, then i tried ebay but that is a bit xie and also not much luck most people have the same stuff as i have so sales very very slow Finally it was a combination of just getting my name out pick something catchy for a name so people remember you do markets, you may see car boot salesor fetes etc. go to them even garage sale just keep trying and once you build a small clientele you can think about a ‘real business’ I just start small eventually i hope to have a ‘real’ business but for now the small sales im making provide me with cash to make more stuff and people tend to remember my name also
