Selling Handmade Stallholder

I’m at the markets somewhere, most weekends

I travel to markets each weekend to meet and interview emerging and established stallholders and keep abreast of the ‘word on the street’ so I know what you’re going through and where you want to be. 

Plus, I pay my mortgage and support my wife and three kids solely through my own websites – so I know what it takes to get an online up and running and busy with customers and web traffic.

In our travels working our own online businesses and as web creatives we have met plenty of enthusiastic passionate people with emerging artisan businesses who are perhaps not quite where they want to be when it comes to selling online.

Yes, it is hard work, but getting your handmade products and services out there so you can easily found online in search engines is as simple as a $10 listing in the handmadebyme.info directory.  Meeting like-minded passionate people who share your vision and appreciate the freedom and flexibility on offer of working from home is something to treasure.

Just imagine, setting yourself free from exhausting commuting hours, of sitting through mindless team meetings, of sitting surrounded by beige cubicles with staff eating noodles from styrofoam cups.  Yes, it is possible and yes, you are almost there simply by having a realistic dream and some honest talent.

Learning to be assertive and setting your own limits and goals is all a part of being in command of your own business.  Once your handmade enterprise escalates beyond word of mouth and attending weekend markets, you will appreciate how dynamically you will value your time.  It is literally like achieving a lifelong goal to finally gain some work life balance to appreciate the simple freedom of choosing when you work and which job offers you choose to act upon.  Join handmadebyme.info now for $10.
