How to Start Your Online Craft Business

Starting an online business parallels the brick and mortar model with an emphasis for success being on location. Many scenes have real estate for sale. So the question is, where are you going to set up shop? Let's venture three avenues to determine your route.

Create Your Website

Starting your blog is the most profitable venue for marketing your products and establishing yourself as a reputable business owner. It's simple to set up and gives you complete control of your business.

I've made how to start a blog and make money simple with step by step instructions for you here.

After you've selected your self-hosted plan, enable your website to sell your crafts online by installing the free WooCommerce plugin. Activating the plugin prompts you to set up your account. Follow the cues for easy set-up to upload product images, compose product descriptions, and establish product prices.

Here is a step by step guide to setup shop with WooCommerce.

Create Printables Online

If you're into digital crafts and printables (no inventory, huge profit margins, easy to make, etc) then boy, do I have good news for you!

My students are crushing it with their pretty printables. Some making as much as $1,000+ per day!

"I have had an amazing first few months of selling printables online! My sales increase each month and I finally work from home full-time selling printables!" – Tam (makes $4,000+ per month with printables)

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for your Printables by Number course. Today I sold my first printable coloring book (well actually this is the first thing I have ever sold). So far I have made $300 off of a $3 coloring book!" – Leslie

Start a Shopify Site

Shopify is a paid online platform that is already established and enabled for selling crafts that make money and other online goods. They offer a 14-day-free-trial and are trusted by over 800,000 businesses worldwide. A Shopify site may serve its purpose, but it's limiting for future endeavors and doesn't allow for you to earn revenue with other monetization methods implemented when operating your own blog.

Set-up Your Etsy Shop

Etsy is an affordable eCommerce platform where people sell handmade items. Many bloggers prefer this route instead of operating their own WooCommerce and instead link their Etsy Store to their blog later.
