Jan Foselli replied to Jan Foselli's discussion Etsy vs. My Own Site"I like that idea. I am familiar with Etsy but I find it easy to get 'lost' over there. I may have to go with the 2 options for now. At least Etsy is relatively inexpensive. Thank you!"

Raun Lauterbach replied to Jan Foselli's discussion Etsy vs. My Own Site"Jan,
Both Rob and Lesley offered up great advice. I sell on Ebay and have a website with a store. I am open to the millions of eyeballs on Ebay and get quick sales there. I also include info about my website with the packing slip…"

I had a similar thought process back in April when I launched my photography venture (www.lesleysobeckgallery.com). I didn't want to put a lot of capital into a website, but I didn't have enough experience to do anything on…"

Jan Foselli posted a discussionEtsy vs. My Own Site
Hi everyone,I have been on and off this site for a few years now & haven't really launched anything. I've always had ideas of businesses I wanted to start but always seemed to have become stuck. Well, after some solitude and figuring out what I wanted to do, I always come back to my handcrafted greeting cards as my own business. My question to the group is should I just sell my greeting card lines on a site like Etsy, where the competition is extremely high and I cannot own my domain or…See More

Sharon replied to Jan Foselli's discussion Need help selling product on-line"Jan, Yes I did, I started with an SBI Template and added my own headers. The canning site was easy peasy. The Homeschool site I actually tried tweaking the template more and I'm not thrilled with it... but it…"
Jan Foselli replied to Jan Foselli's discussion Need help selling product on-line"Sharon - did you create both your sites using SBI? They both look great!

Sharon replied to Jan Foselli's discussion Need help selling product on-line"I'd second the SBI route. I started from knowing nothing to building my sites all myself.

Vickie Smith replied to Jan Foselli's discussion Need help selling product on-line"I would suggest using SBI. If you team up with someone else around Christmas time there's a buy one get one free deal. So it would cost each of you $150 for a year. I did a couple of gluten free recipes on a site with them and…"

I haven't set up my blog yet - I just grabbed the name so I could have it. I used blogger but I could go into WP and grab the name there. I did reserve my domain name through Go Daddy (everythingbutwheat.com).…"

It's funny how things start to fall in your lap when you focus on something you want. So my story today begins.....
The company where I currently work is owned by a friend & colleague. It's just her and I in this business and we're struggling. Sales are down, but they are for our competitors, too. We had a talk today about trying to stay afloat and she's not making any promises that she can keep the doors open, but she's going to do everything in her power to do so, even if she has… Continue

Hi,
I signed up for this a year ago when I was unemployed. I fooled around with an interviewing consulting service and it ended up morphing into a full-time job as a Business Development Manager with a local staffing company. This job is fun as I get to go out into the community and work with employers and trying to help them out. I write a monthly newsletter, market, market, market and work with key local organizations. I feel this job was put before me to help me 'come out of my shell'… Continue

Barry Wiener said… - Hi Jan,
Sorry about that, I read your location too fast. I must have had my daughter on my mind and just didn't read your location carefully. Many years ago Palm City was one of the locations for the GoKart racing circuit I used to do with my father-in-law. They still live down in Boca Raton.
