You can market your handmade jewelry in various ways. You can establish your personal internet handmade jewelry retail store, sell to gift and jewelry shops at wholesale jewelry prices, rent booths at local craft markets and art fairs, or advertise your jewelry making skills and get custom orders for specific items. You can also sell your handcrafted jewelry on consignment at local specialty boutiques. Because people are so very different, they want handmade jewelry pieces that are different also. One-of-a-kind jewelry pieces that nobody else in the world makes can get you quite a bit of money. You will want to be known for your quality custom jewelry and unique designs. Always choose the highest quality gems and stones for your items, and be sure that the workmanship is brilliant. Become selective, never making any two pieces alike and more people will want to buy your handmade jewelry items. This is the most difficult route because you need to find just the right type of customers.

Handmade jewelry internet marketing is like any other kind of marketing. You are trying to reach a niche market so
you must plan accordingly. You have to start by identifying your target market and the keywords they use to find your
products. You have to learn what your customers are looking for in order to develop content that your target niche will
respond to and take action.
In order to identify your target market start with what you already know about your customers. Some people talk about
geo-targeting, demographics and value proposition. What these big words boil down to is know who buys your
products, where they buy your products, when they buy your products and why they buy your products. Google
webmaster tools are great for analyzing your target keywords but you are the one who knows your products and
customers the best. When selling handmade jewelry participating at craft shows is one of the best ways to reach that
niche market. When marketing online finding handmade craft sites would then be the natural choice as they cater to the
same niche market.
How you want to be perceived by your target market will define your approach. Identify what your customers want
and write your website content to fill that need. There are important principles of traffic generation you need to
understand in order to be successful at bringing visitors into your website. Those visitors need to be targeted to your
niche and the search engine organic searches are generally your best source of targeted visitors.
Search engine optimization is the best strategy to rank higher in the search engines organic searches. Your website
needs content that appeals to your customers while at the same time gives the search engines information about your
website. Essentially you are trading your time for traffic. Creating good content, links and backlinks are great SEO and
can generate traffic directly through visitor clicks. These methods take a lot of time and effort but are well worth your
time.
Make sure to have great content and start asking related sites for links. A good way to get reciprocal links is to contact
the webmaster of related sites. A friendly email saying that you think their website would be beneficial to your website
visitors and perhaps their visitors would find your website information useful. Let them know that you will leave their
link even if they don’t link back to you is a nice gesture that might get your link request more attention. These links
will increase your traffic as well as getting the search engines to visit your site more often with the added benefit of
ranking higher in the organic searches.
Backlinks are generated by submitting your sites to relevant directories, being involved in social networking,
submitting articles, participating in forums and leaving comments at relevant websites. It is very important that your
keyword or keyword phrase is hyperlinked in these backlinks. The more targeted links pointing back to you are like
votes for your website. The more votes the higher you rank in the organic searches.
Most of all do not get discouraged when you do not get results overnight. There is no magic spell to website promotion
just hard work. Whether you make handmade jewelry, wholesale jewelry or offer a service you will need to optimize
your website for your niche market in order to get targeted traffic.
