10 Places To Sell Your Handmade Products Online

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

So you have some handmade products that you’re ready to sell, but if you’re watching this then you’re probably a bit unsure about where to actually sell them. And I completely understand that-with so many options nowadays, how do you know which online marketplace is best for you and your products?
Before we jump into the 10 places, remember: every marketplace is different and what may work for some people may not work for others. Before setting up shop, it’s important to investigate which marketplaces are best equipped for your needs and your specific products. Things like shipping mechanisms, fees, traffic, competition, customer base, and niches are all things to consider when researching the best marketplace to sell your items on. Now let’s get into the list!

    Hey Mei. I actually get way more sales selling on Amazon FBA than selling on Etsy. Etsy sales are sooo slow. Now I put more energy and money into my Amazon store due to the results I get. It's interesting how some sellers do well on different marketplaces compared to others. You just have to find what works best for your handmade business.

    @@duvalkMAS I was going to ask the same thing. FBA seems like it would only be profitable if you sell tons of the same exact item with color variations, or something like that. I don't see how it would be practical if everything you sell is a one-of-a-kind handmade item.

    Hi there! Tundra is not actually "free" you pay a hefty monthly fee to be in the platform. They deduct from your bank account monthly regardless if you have any sales or not. If you want sales, you have to pay higher fees and upgrade for them to market your brand. It's a catch-22.

    Hi Mei. I currently have a Shopify website for my shop. Sales have been slow lately and I’m starting to struggle financially. I’ve been debating whether or not to open an Etsy shop as a side income. But Etsy’s fees make it hard for me to decide.

    I'm not Mei, but I've been on etsy for over 10 years (2 shops). I can honestly say that it's become harder & harder to make sales there, and is expensive. You are charged transaction fees on both your product AND the shipping. It's currently 5 %, and will be raised to 6.5% in April. On top of that, you pay for credit card processing fees of 3%+, along with a minimum 10% fee for ads that they supposedly run (you can opt out of that, but then, surprisingly, you get buried at the bottom of search). So, I guess this is a long way round of saying that I, for one, would NOT suggest Etsy as an alternative to a standalone website.

    Hi Angel! I would suggest you build your own Shopify website first before considering on opening a secondary shop. It could be that you're not selling/reaching the right customers that's why there's not much sales coming through.

    Usually people prefer if you ask to use their pattern for selling finished products, and they usually say you must put credit.

    Hi! I personally prefer having your own website. It's more reliable and you're not bound by any policies like with e-Commerce marketplaces like Etsy and eBay. With having your own website, you'll have more control over your online shop/product listings. Shopify is a great platform to build your own website on in case you're looking for a recommendation. 😊 Also, in case you're interested, you're also welcome to watch my free workshop here: bit.ly/3EGGC47 I think you'll learn a lot from it as well in terms of running your business online. Good luck! ❤️

    @@CreativeHiveCo Thank you, so much for taking the time to reply to my comment, it really does mean a lot!! 😄I considered the idea of opening a Shopify account but I have to pay monthly fees which are too expensive. I don't have any audience that can buy my stuff. Also, my not allowed to use many social media platforms like tik tok or youtube aside from Instagram that is all. So I am really limited on the number of things I can do, and I am struggling to figure out on what platform I can use that is the cheapest and can bring me the audience. Marketing and advertising take too much time to do on my own and I barely have $50 to invest in a platform. Please, What would you recommend?😥

    Hi! I saw this article which I think might be helpful for you in terms of choosing which marketplace to sell your stickers/stationeries on: litcommerce.com/blog/top-marketplaces-for-selling-products/ Etsy might be a great choice for you but I agree that Etsy fees might eat up a lot of your profits (and so are other marketplaces so make sure to price your products correctly) so this decision really depends on you. I would suggest do a side-by-side comparison on the pros and cons of selling in each platform. Hope this helps! Good luck!! You got this!! ❤️
