Where to sell handmade items locally

As mentioned above, some of the best places to sell your crafts online is on Facebook, starting an Etsy store, ShopHandmade, Aftcra and Zibbet. These sites are great and worth checking out.

Selling Crafts Online

If you want to go the own website route, you can create a reliable website with just $11.99 a month with Lyrical Host. I use Lyrical host for my other site and have had a great customer experience with them. My site runs well and their team is very helpful in helping with the setup process.

Owning a website gives you control over what you post and how you promote your crafts.

You can also use your website to blog about your craft business and make it interesting to your readers by giving them a behind-the-scenes look of how things are made.

Another way to engage your customers is to show a visual set up of how the product can be use and what goes into creating the product.

There are many craft bloggers that have turned their website into an online craft business to generate a monthly income.

These bloggers create posts that include step-by-step tutorials, including videos within blog posts, writing review articles on the best products to use and also informative posts on where to buy the bulk supplies on a budget.

Starting a craft blog is not only a great way to showcase your talent, but to also help others learn a new skill.

DIY projects are very popular these days, and you can also choose to write on some useful DIY craft posts on your blog.

Another idea is to make your blog tailored to kids – so only kids crafts. This can be very handy for parents to keep kids occupied during the holidays.

Speaking of holidays, holiday craft can be very popular – Christmas, Halloween, or fall crafts. Use your imagination to create posts that will attract your readers.

Craft is a very popular niche and you can make a steady income from home with this side hustle.

Next big question.

How do visitors come to your website?

Social media.

Yes. By promoting on social media, and Pinterest is by far the fastest way to get your audience. Facebook and Instagram also work well to share your products and get the word out.

Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to create pin images of your craft projects and promote on Pinterest.
