Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• jewelry
• internet
• pictures of your jewelry

1. Take good pictures of all of your jewelry. A camera that has a macro mode would be a good option to get the crisp clear jewelry details on the photo.

2. Organize all the prices of your jewelry. Selling is a business so you need to determine how much profit you'll make with the jewelry. Don't go overboard either though because customers will see what you're up to. Choose fair prices that you are happy with.

3. Start a blog to show your jewelry. Blogs are pretty simple to manipulate in uploading pictures and text information. Use one entry per jewelry item. If you want to accept credit cards, you can sign up for paypal so that you can get a have a link so that the customer can pay for that particular item. Paypal is pretty safe.
   
   If you want to accept cash and checks you need to put the address that the money will be going to such as a p.o. box. You do not want to put your physical address because then everybody out there will know where you live. Make sure checks are cleared before sending off your merchandise.

4. Make your own website to sell jewelry. This does not have to be too expensive actually. You would need to come up with a clever domain name that matches your jewelry and that nobody else has used. The good thing about creating your own website to sell is that you can create it exactly as you want.
   
   There are jewelry templates that you can buy for a fee. After you buy the template you need to put it together and add your own information to make it your own.
   
   Don't forget to add some type of credit card processing system so that customers can pay for your jewelry. Paypal is one of many examples that you can use to set up your checkout system.

5. Use auction sites such as etsy or ebay to sell your products. Read over the rules so that you don't break any of them. Check out their fees also. Auction sites have a lot of customers already looking at merchandise. It's kind of like selling your jewelry at the mall where a lot of people already go to buy things.
