Hi guys,

I have set up two websites, for two differant things that I love doing, and as yet have made no sales on wither even though I can sell the same stuff on ebay, and sometimes for more that I advertise on the site.

DOes anybody have any helpful hints or tips for either of my sites (links are in my sig)

Many thanks guys its really appreciated.

Clare

Have you looked at the directing traffic from ebay post? I have pasted it if not, may be useful:

How are you letting people know about your site? Have you tried leaflets / business cards? You could hand these out at crafts fairs (if you do them) or maybe ask local businesses if they will have some for customers to take? How about doing a business card swop between other UK crafters?

I am not the best person to give advice as I am new to this and am still trying to get my site known, but thats advice I've picked up from the forum.

You could also advertise on the craft directly here, or on www.craft-fair.co.uk (http://www.craft-fair.co.uk)

Hope this helps! Kate. :mf:

The craft directory on here is great - I've had loads of hits to my website through there. Mr Media is the person to ask about this - he will see the thread and probably reply with some good advice!
I will have a look at your site later and let you know my views - I'm nice honest!!
