I've signed up to sell my work through 1000 Markets.
*
It's a new place to buy, sell and browse arts and crafts.
*
They specialize in what they call a 'transfer of delight', the delight in creating, the delight in receiving, the delight in using.
*
It's a gorgeous site and well worth a look. I like that there are blogs attached to each shop. That really personalizes things. I also like the concept of Markets, where people kind of band together to create areas with a certain aesthetic.
*
They use Amazon payments instead of Paypal. That should be interesting!
*
I'm finished setting up my shop-- it's got the same things as my Etsy shop-- and I look forward to working with them!
*
I've seen a lot of Etsy bashing recently. I'm not unhappy with Etsy. I think I may hit 300 sales thee before the end of the year, which would be great! I'm just trying to spread out a bit and reach even more people!

In other news, SweetWater Designs was kind enough to pass on the Butterfly blog award for coolness!

Passing it on, so check out:

Oooh, I'm interested to hear how you do with 1000 Markets! I've looked at the site & am intrigued. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteoh great choices SarahKelly! ..did you want to right click the butterfly coolblog award icon on my blog and save it to your site so you can have it on your sidebar later? it's a sweet graphic.
ReplyDeleteThanks SWD!
ReplyDeleteI just figure out how to save graphics:) Now I'm worried that my sidebars are too stuffed for them!
Good luck on your new venture. I am off to 100- Markets right now.
