Product!

So of course the most important part of having an online business is having a good product. 

Now, chances are that if you are reading this you already have a product, an idea of a product you can make, or a way of getting ahold of a product to sell. 

Lets go over some of the things you can sell online on www.etsy.com:

So obviously the list of arts and crafts that you can make are endless. This picture just shows examples of some of the important, and some of the obscure things people sell. The most important thing to note in the images is the quality of photograph and the quality of the item! Remember, you may have made this item by hand BUT you do not want people to look at your item and say: “that’s cool but I can make that myself”. 

The next examples are valid for painters, photographers, etc. They are just examples on how to sell your artwork without just selling your original. And this way even if you wanted to keep your original for whatever reason, you would then be able to still profit on all your hard work!

So these examples range from general prints on high quality papers all the way to something as obscure as temporary tattoos! And to think that these are only a small number of the possibilities you can do with your print! Now, I’m sure by now you may be thinking: “I don’t know how to scan my print, or how to photograph my work” but not to worry! The following post will be all about photography and scanning!

Another somewhat obscure thing you can sell on etsy is “vintage & antique items”. This means anything that is 20 years or older. So if you are a treasure hunter and have a fair number of old items that you can keep finding, you can photograph them and sell them online. Here are some examples of things you can sell.

These are just some of the examples of the old treasures you can put on etsy.

Now if you are looking to sell something newer than 20 years that you did not make yourself then ebay is your website unless you plan to create your own website (which we will go over eventually).

Okay, so the next post will be all about “How – To Photograph your Product”. This way you if you are a procrastinator (like I myself), you will have your photos finished before setting up your website! This way you already have things to list as soon as you set up your site with no excuses not to!
