I have been on maternity leave for the last 9 months and due to not having loads to do I decided to start making my own greeting cards and wedding invitations. I now have a very large stock and would like to sell them however I am not sure of the best to sell them.
Please can anyone help me with some ideas, they are good quality and I would hate to just put them in the bin or have them sat around collecting dust.
Thank you

Well a good way to start without having to work too much at getting the ball rolling would be a small e-bay store. The small ones only run around $15 US and the services they offer are very helpful and easy to use. You could also start up a cheap website to display all of your cards, or perhaps offer custom made cards, if your interested in taking this further. There are some sites such as "free webs" where you can have a small site for free, and then just direct to your e-bay account for sale. Or if your not really feeling up to running an internet store there are people out there that will run them for a cut. Hope this helps, feel free to ask anymore questions.

Try Etsy.com. It's a website specifically for people who handmake the goods they are selling. The fees are less than ebay and your not competing with people who are selling cheap commerical goods, too.
