Aspiring
jewelry designers are at a tremendous advantage in this day and age because the Internet makes it so easy to sell their products. Sites like Etsy, Big Cartel, etc. make it possible for emerging designers to
be entrepreneurs and make direct sales without the tedious efforts of getting retail store to buy their jewelry. In fact, many store buyers have turned the tables and are now scouring the pages of sites like Etsy to find new
jewelry designers to pick up in their stores. The power of
online shopping sites have definitely changed the dynamics of retail buying power in this digital age.
To get in on this mega-trend so you can make money online, try out these sites that will allow you to set up your online jewelry boutique:
1. Etsy
Etsy is the most popular online shopping site for handmade goods. Not only can you sell yor fashion jewelry on Etsy, but also housewares, paper goods, crochet, and lots more. The only thing that sucks is that listing an item (per quantity of one) costs 20 cents, so if you list 5 pairs of earrings, it would cost you $1.00. Also, when an item sells, there's a 3.5% transaction fee on the final sale price.
2. Big Cartel
Thousands of clothing designers, bands, record labels, jewelry makers, crafters, and other artists use Big Cartel to set up their independent store, and a basic account is free (with 5 products). For monthly fees starting at $9.99 per month, you can add more products with stats, full customization, and inventory tracking.
3. Bonanza
Shop for jewelry, art, antiques, and collectibles here ar Bonanza. The price to post items for sale (including up to four pictures) is free, but selling fees are 50 cents for anything under $10; $1 for anything under $50; and $3 for anything under $100.
4. Art Fire
Sell your handcrafted jewelry, vintage jewelry, and even your old wedding rings! A basic account is totally free with no listing or selling costs, but some members choose to upgrade their account to the verified account level, which is $15.95 per month, for more selling features and tools.
