I make things, scarves-caps-etc., but seem to be stalled when it comes to 'making' a biz. I don't know about websites or much in the way of promoting.

What I'm thinking of...could I submit photos to all of you who have home based selling sites, of things I have on hand and then you could promote them by putting them on your site?? Then take your cut (providing its reasonable...define reasonable...) and when I receive payment, I send the cap/whatev on to you or dropship it to the customer??

Would this work?? How to refine my idea(s)?? How about your ideas?? Anything at'all...

Winona, you're idea is ok... But, I believe I have a better idea. Have you ever heard of www.etsy.com? It basically promotes itself. It helps you setup a store on their website. As long as you have a camera to download pictures to the computer. It takes you step by step in helping you get set up. Don't feel overwhelmed. It is basically pretty easy. Good Luck!

Yep, have heard of etsy and I guess, I'm just gonna have to try it. Kinda strange, I thought more people would be interested in something like I posted, even though I don't have it totally worked out. Oh, well...

Once you figure Etsy out...you are going to wish you had done this years ago. It's worth it. Good Luck!
