Jewelry Biz Advice from Bloggers

Saturday May 17, 2008
Blogging is a big thing these days, especially for jewelry makers. Some of us use it as a way to promote our work or bring customers to our stores, but I think most of us will agree that it is always a great medium for learning from each other.

I continue to get emails from jewelry makers asking for advice about selling their jewelry, especially on-line. In fact, not that long ago, I published a blog post that addressed this issue and gave some advice. So, I thought it would be interesting now to also look around at other jewelry bloggers and see what kind of advice they have given on their blogs concerning this issue:

Jennifer Perkins from the Naughty Secretary's Club wrote a post about how she took her own jewelry and accessories site to a whole new level.

Elaine at All Things Metal Clay warns against the DIY attitude when it comes to selling on-line.

Lori Richardson has some brief advice about branding, a topic very important to anyone attempting to sell jewelry on-line.

Jewelry designer Peggy Li offers advice on how to drive traffic to your web site.

About.com's Guide to Model Trains has some advice for buying and selling on ebay, the largest on-line auction site on the web.

Esty.com suggests one way to sell every day of the year through the web.

The About.com Guide to Arts & Crafts Business has a list of resources for dealing with issues related to selling on-line.
