What are some easy crafts to make and sell online?


If you are planning to sell crafts the old fashioned traditional way on the craft markets, you do not need to worry about the sort of problems a crafter will encounter if they are thinking of selling online.


The biggest problem about selling your craft items online is that you will be picking up buyers from all over the world, and therefore you need to choose a craft idea that will be light enough to ship, and then also be strong enough to survive shipping.


Glass items are best left for the craft markets and not put into a box and sent off into the world.
Another problem with looking for easy crafts to make and sell online will be the fact that some items do not photograph as well as they should and therefore they lose some of their impact when they are shown as an image only.


When doing craft idea research online you do not need to do any research on the traditional markets, you can simply use three simple to try research methods.


One – Do keyword research – either on the free Google keyword tool or on a place like semrush. 

Be very certain that people are really interested in those ideas or items. 

If you have no idea on how to do this step, use YouTube search to watch a few keyword tutorials. It is not very hard. Or send me an email and I will send you a free keyword course.

Two – go to all (and I really mean all) the biggest online shopping sites. 

Start with the ones you should avoid selling on like eBay or Craigslist, then move on to the best normal shopping site Amazon.
Do not take any shortcuts with your Amazon research – you can learn one hell of a lot there.

Finally go over to the better  crafting websites and dig through all their idea.

Places to look at for easy craft ideas are Etsy, and Folksy, and then it cannot hurt to go and look into the new and fresh craft listing sites like https://urcrafti.com/


In fact once you have chosen what you want to do, go back and list your products on those very sites you used for your research.
