I wanna make crafts and sell them. Where can I sell them?
Question:I can never find craft shows where I live. How about ebay or craigslist??
Answers:
ebay is a good place and craigslist.
What about a market stall?
letterbox pamphlet drops?
Etsy.com, local craft fairs etc, e-bay's an option too but I think locally you are better off people can check out your stuff. On e-bay they can only see it and if they don't like it or think it's one way or whatever then it's something else you could rack up bad ratings or people demanding money back etc.
Sometimes fairs or festivals can offer you a chance to sell your wares as well.
Also check out local churches that have festivals they may let you set up a craft booth for a donation of the profits. Or even churches that throw craft fairs.
Craft fairs in your town would be the ideal place to start. Another good option would be is to find a consignment store that sells all kinds of craft items and ask if you can display your stuff. Consignment stores sell your stuff for you, they will call you when you are running low on certain items, and you pay them a small percentage for using space at their store. Also, check with your local county offices about applying for a permit that will allow you to set up a craft sale in your own yard, alot like a garage sale. If you are thinking of doing a small business, think about creating a website and displaying your crafts that way, or go the ebay way.
Good luck.
