When I get together with other artisans and craft makers this topic always comes up. I believe many people will find it very useful. Here is the list, which I will be updating all the time. If you find a site that is free and a good site, I will add it to the list and put a link back to your shop! Some of the sites I've used and I'm familiar with. Others are links and suggestions I've collected from other artisans. You don't have to obviously join them all but start at the top and join a few. I bet you get the views and sales you want. These sites do work and we need to promote off of Etsy too! Happy Sales to all! * www.lilyshop.com ( new place to list your items. Just getting off the ground but people have sold items there. No listing fees. You only pay 5% of the price if you sell an item. It can remain there forever. I talked to the owner and there are no other fees. Like I said its new but worth trying. List a few items and see what happens. We need to advertise this place cause its cute. I am not telling you to leave Etsy! Just another place to list) * www.craftsy.com (you can put your craft item there) * tophatter.com/ Some of you might like it. You only pay a small amount if your item sells.
