1. Selling your crafts or arts online is simply essential to increase sales and to generate
awareness of your brand.
When deciding the hows and whys of setting up online it is important to set out your
goals and objectives.
If you are using a website site then the most important aspect of your site is going to
be finding traffic.
Now traffic is the key to successful selling online and as we all know it doesn’t matter
what type of website you have if you haven’t traffic then its of no use.
Websites are also expensive.
Most ecommerce websites in a box cost between $30 to $90 per month
You need to generate a lot of sales to justify that outlay
Again if you can get a website designed for you for say $900 but the yearly hosting
costs vary between $30 to $100 per year.
So if you go down the website road understand the costs and ongoing maintenance.
Maintenance is where you need to uplad images or additional text or remove or edit
