Steve Curtis Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Edward, Most of my sells are from facebook and they are only to my friends. I am not sure about "the rest of the public" If you can get your friends to share what you put on others will see.

courdorygirl Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I do, but it's usually to people I know personally who see my work on my Facebook portfolio then approach me or call me themselves. I've never sold anything I made on Ebay or Etsy. Etsy can be expensive for very little reward. Steve Curtis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayton717 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I have a Facebook page just for my crafts. I have sold a few items from it, but most of my sales are by word of mouth and repeat customers amazingkevin, courdorygirl, wombatie and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I sell a fair amount of things on my Facebook page. If I keep it active with new items, then I seem to do fairly well. I am only interested in selling enough to pay for my supplies. I average about $150 to $200 a month in sale which work perfectly for me. so far it has worked as planned. I have had some offers to put some of my things in Vineyards, gift stores and restaurants, but I declined all offers as I don't want my beloved hobby to become a job, if you know what i mean Dick heppnerguy courdorygirl, Scrappile, amazingkevin and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm showing my friend things i do on face book , but didn't know they will charge you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courdorygirl Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm showing my friend things i do on face book , but didn't know they will charge you? Facebook doesn't charge unless you use the promo feature in a business page. I think terrylee was referring to Etsy seller fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrylee Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 No,is not the Etsy fees,is a promo fee that they charge you.I got stuck with 275.00 dollars worth of fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I always put my work on my facebook page for family and friends to look at and I have been meaning to open a Facebook business page for about 3 years, but I haven't got around to it yet. I sell mainly by word of mouth and all of the money I make I put back into my hobby. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddy_tindell Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Like everyone else, I put my stuff on my personal and business Facebook..list things I think will do well on etsy...but most sales are word of mouth...would love to take this thing to the next level but not quite there yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I have never been able to figure out Facebook. Been going to have my niece show me someday. Seems like every time I get on Facebook I start getting a bunch of email I do not want of people want to be my friend, that I don't even know.

heppnerguy Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Paul, I may be able to help you with Facebook if you would like to give it a try. I Never use the 'promotional' fees in Facebook and I do not believe that I ever will. I can give anyone interested a tip on selling on Favebook, is they wish to PM me.

Tdub4ever Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) I do all my business on Facebook. I'm guessing it's the same everywhere, but I join alot of the swap N shop groups in my area and post ad's in them. It works out very well. If you have swap n shop or buy and sell groups in your area, join them and post an ad with pictures of your products.

Dick heppnerguy I'd probably need a sit down class room session. I know how to get to my page, which has been blank for over a year, but that is it. Like how do you tell if you have "swap and shop" or "buy and sell" groups in your area?? How do you put up pictures and add things? How do you keep the riff raff out?

Tdub4ever Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 On your home page, there's a section called "Groups" just click on "See all" and pick the groups you want to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courdorygirl Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 If you don't aready belong to a yard sale type group, go up to the search bar at the top (with the magnifying glass), and type in online yard sale and your city. Usually more than one will come up and you can click on each one to check them out and see if you want to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ike Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I have thought about a face book page but my wife is on face book and it would probably mess her up . so i have stayed off. i do most of my selling at about Christmas time, I keep my moneys separate and I still have about $300 in the kitty,so i will probably stay with that method.

IKE Ike, You having a Facebook page would in no way interrupt or cross message anything to do with your personal one. Even selling on Facebook will not interfere with a personal one for you.. Go ahead and get one and do not hesitate as it will not be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
