Selling Your Crafts Online - A List of Online Selling Venues
SELLING YOUR CRAFTS ONLINEA List of Online Selling Venues
There are so many places online to sell your crafts. The problem is you either don't know what they are, who they are, or more importantly where they are. I've compiled a list of just a handful. I hope these help you on your journey to being a successful crafter AND seller. I'm on a few of these, but I will make no claims as to which are best for you. I've also included their alexa rank. That should at least help you as to what kind of traffic each site receives. They are listed in random order, but I did do Etsy first because I believe this is the best site for handmade goods.

The BEST EVER Sale
Don't buy expensive wash cloths at the department store, and don't buy the all-too-expensive throw away wipes! Save your money and use Annabelle's wash cloths. If you haven't used hand crocheted wash cloths yet, you're missing out. They not only wash great, but feel soft, and are durable. Not to mention being easier on the budget as you are not spending money on throw-away wipes.
Care Instructions: These wash cloths are machine washable and dryable. If you've used cotton wash cloths before, you know that they can sometimes smell dirty after a few usings. To avoid this smell, wash them in the dishwasher on hot water. If you don't have a dishwasher, pop them into the microwave for 10-15 seconds after you've washed them. All the bacteria will be gone. Easy as that!

Do you have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Almost everyone experiences fatigue from time to time. But for 800,000 U.S. adults, the fatigue is crushing, unrelieved by rest and accompanied by a constellation of other punishing symptoms. They suffer from chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS). Also widely recognized as chronic fatigue syndrome or CFS, its symptoms are debilitating enough to destroy good health and active lifestyles, end fulfilling careers and devastate families.
More people suffer from CFIDS/CFS than MS, lung cancer or AIDS. Yet 80% have not been diagnosed by a medical provider. Preliminary studies indicate that for CFIDS/CFS, as with other chronic conditions, early detection, diagnosis and treatment ultimately yield better health outcomes.
If you think you may have CFIDS/CFS, use the "Do I Have CFIDS" questionnaire for an assessment that will familiarize you with the symptom patterns and exclusionary conditions that lead a health care provider to make a CFIDS/CFS diagnosis.
Here's the link to "Do you have CFIDS?" http://www.cfids.org/about-cfids/do-i-have-cfids.asp, or click here.
