Things You'll Need:
- Digital camera
- Handmade items to sell
-
Step 1
Sell Crafts OnlineWhen setting up an Etsy account to sell crafts and homemade items online, think long and hard about the business name you would like to use. Successful Etsy businesses that make money online choose names that fit with the type of item they are selling. For example, the store "Knit" sells only items relating to knitting.
-
Step 2
Sell Homemade Foods and Crafts OnlineOnce you have chosen a business name, complete the online registration of your Etsy online internet business. The form is self-explanatory, but you will want to have your PayPal account information ready. Selling your crafts online at Etsy requires the use of a PayPal account, or your willingness to accept payment such as checks and money orders.
-
Step 3
Selling crafts online at Etsy requires making a listing for each item. Unlike many online businesses, Etsy charges only a small fee (.20 at the time of publication) per listing. There are no additional fees to pay to Etsy. Make a listing for each craft you would like to sell online.
-
Step 4
Sell Crafts Online With Quality PhotosTake quality photographs of your item. Each listing on Etsy allows you to take up to five pictures of each craft you would like to sell online. Use natural light and high resolution whenever possible.
