Good Morning,

I would like to hear from anyone who has a site set up with a craft site. Do you have any success and which ones do you recommend. I am thinking this would be a great way to start an extra income but not sure which ones are best. Any suggestions?! Thanks

Have you read Barbara Brabec`s books?  She`s my muse and an icon in the crafts-for-profit world.  You can view her site at www.barbarabrabec.com.  I recommend getting some of her books.

Prestostore.com is an easy way to set up a site.  It`s $30 a month and is REALLY, REALLY easy to use.  My mom uses it for her site: www.scrapfobs.com

Shopify.com is a new service that I haven`t really looked at a whole lot.  The appeal is that it doesn`t cost you anything until you sell something and then you pay them a royalty.  It`s good for starting up or if you have just a few products.

HTH!
