Should I do this?

website's good (and free if you do it through a blog). you'll have to figure out what the rest of internet world is trying to figure out though - which is how do you get people to your site? :) Good luck!

you could try selling them on www.etsy.com it's a website for handmade stuff and the listing prices are cheaper then ebay (from what i've read, i haven't sold anything on etsy.) anyway, good luck!

You can try swop mets and also the website Idea is great,try going onto community websites and posting you product,good luck. I also make jewelry but so far noone plus close friends want it,lol.

I also noticed on your homepage here you don't have any reference to your jewlery. I would take some pics and download them to your photo section. Who knows maybe your fellow mylot friends will like what they see and give you some pointers or roads to travel.

I would certainly give your own website a try. Clixsense has lots of links of people selling things. I would think putting it on consignment would be a good option also. Another option would be to get a table at a (good) flea market. I go to one in my area that has great stuff!

Try both mate.. This is better chanse of selling them, Also if you build a site there will be more options to get money from it besides selling your stuff. You can read of some methods at http://indart.org Wish you luck

I would say to go ahead and try it. I mean you have some already made. Another possiblility would be to try the local flea market if you have one? You just never know what people will want at a flea market. Good luck to you I hope it all works out for you in the end.

It sounds like a good idea to me. I would do both. The website and the jewelry store.

I would suggest renting some space at a local craft gallery or something like that. Where you rent a booth and set up your stuff to sell, and see how it goes. Or try a local jewlery store and see what they say about your stuff =) It is hard selling things like that on Ebay, the fees are getting higher and higher!! Good luck!

You can try to sell your wares at swap meets, flea markets, also if your town has festivals why not pay a few dollars for a table? The web site is a great idea! You just need to get yourself out there and promote yourself. The issue with ebay is that everyone is doing it. There is so much stuff to page through that sometimes it's just not worth it it the small business person to go on ebay.

Hi Kythe. I like home made things. My daughter makes jewellery sometimes, but just for herself. Have you got any local markets near you that you could maybe set up a stall at? Or maybe there is a cafe around that you might be able to put some at if you frequent it and they know you. I notice around some cafes in Australia they have stuff that people have made for sale. Just a couple of ideas. I would like to see your work. If you start a website to sell them, you will have to let us know. Best wishes, hope it all goes ok.

I hear you friend. I too, started selling my hand made bracelets on eBay, way back when they first started in 1998, and today, with all of their fees escalating, no longer recommend it. As others have stated here, craft fairs, craft shops (where you can have your jewelry on display for consignment sales, shop sells your wares, and you collect a profit, but look into this as their may be space fees involved there), have your own web-site, or try this spot: http://www.blujay.com/ This site is 100% free and they let you list all kinds of different and unique items! eBay is killing me right now with fees, and if an item doesn't sell, you are still responsible for paying even if your item didn't sell. When you're just starting out, I would recommend one of the other avenues first. You'll be able to keep more of your profits for yourself this way.. Good luck from a fellow artisan and hope all of these tips find your jewelry biz doing really well! :)

well, starting of a business is never easy... think over if u really wanna start such a business... do try harder and be more hardworking... also, dun let the small failure distract u... start thinking further... maybe a small loss at the begining is bound to happen... but take it in strive... also, have plans and make them happened... having a business is not easy... so do have detailed plannings and seek advises from people who have been through it... afterall, they might have once been through it...

hello there i think u should keep trying to sell on ebay i know what u mean about the cost to u but u will get some one who is intrested in what u are selling and will want to buy them from u so my advise is keep trying ur get there in the end.

Do both! Make your website and list it with pictures and also go to your local stores and see if they will let you seel it there. Don't give up hope! follow your heart and make that Jewelry

Making your own website sells better. My opinion.

i think that you should try both. i also love making accessories and i think its best if you try both your ideas. also if you want you could post pictures online to sites like multiply.com so we could see samples of your products.

I would suggest looking at local stores and see how it goes. You might also try a simple website for say a couple of months. You might have more luck though if you look into county fairs or arts and crafts shows in your area. They are really good for that sort of thing. LIVE IN PEACE

It seems that all the suggestions I would have made are allready here! I hope you have some luck in shifting them. They sound absolutely beautiful.

My brother has been selling handmade jewelry and he's been doing very well. He goes to local flea markets, vendor's fairs, craft fairs and holiday fairs to sell the jewelry and does it that way. This way he only has to pay for the vendor spot for the day. You can also have home parties. Sell the jewelry at home and invite your friends and their family and friends. Serve some snacks and refreshments and maybe have a raffle prize too. Also, take your jewelry around to local shops that might be interested in allowing you to set up. I've seen this type of thing happen in hair and nail salons. I even went to a dollar store and there was a woman there selling jewelry. If this works, then think about setting up a website. Try to do it on a free and very low-cost domain. You would have to apply for credit card use and/or paypal and I'm not sure what that will cost or how long it takes to be accepted.
