Just about everyday, I talk to artisan soap and candle makers. One frustration I hear over and over again is the availability of good, easy to use website tools. People want to increase their sales by opening a web store but they are just unsure of who to trust. Frankly, in this economy they don't want to get ripped off.Today that all changes!
Artisans Online.com is open!! Currently several artisans are programming their stores and I expect that the search engines will begin to marketing these artisan sites in the next few weeks. You can get your own web store for FREE by joining the AAB. The AAB has a video that discusses these free web stores.
Basically, there are two different type of web stores. They are:
1. Advertising Site. Great for those that currently have a store or offer services but not products. Click Here to view an example of this type of site.
2. E-Commerce Store. Great for those seeking to sell products online. You can accept credit cards through your own PayPal account. Click Here to view an example of this type of site. (note this is a demo site with checkout disabled).
I expect the AAB to begin to distribute further marketing materials tomorrow. When this is given to me, I will pass it on to you! Until then, If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

Oh my gosh!!! I'm so excited about this. My single biggest frustration has been developing a "stand alone" website. Although I enjoy being on etsy, there are huge benefits to having an independent site. Thank you, Debbie!!! You're a hero!
Looks like a great feature but just a little pricey - what are the benifits to pay 250.00 when you can have your own dot com for allot less.
