I have been off the mainstream line of internet business for 4 years since I had opened my physical store. Prior to that I did just about all my business online from selling and some buying. My focus has always been vintage clothing and collectibles. The slow economy has forced me to take another look at selling again online. I came across Etsy. What is Etsy? Etsy is a place to buy and sell vintage collectibles and your handmade arts & crafts. That is right up my ally! The cost is very inexpensive but, you must work it just like you would if you owned a physical store. I think that for many that want to sell online, they believe if they just take a photo of the item and put it online, they can walk away and the sells will come right away. No, you must market your online business just like you would any other business. The key is figuring out how to work the internet market.
In the meantime, while I am trying to get back into the swing of things, I have found some really cool shops on Etsy that focus on vintage clothing and collectibles. One I found that carries pieces at good prices is a shop called "Me Oh My Treasures" you can find them by going to the following link http://www.etsy.com/shop/ohmermaidme?page=2
As for me, I am lisiting daily on Etsy. Another thing you must do to keep up. I have been focused on lisitng alot of jewelry but, handbags, clothing and other accessories are to come. To see my shop and what I have check it out http://www.etsy.com/shop/lisamoorer
