    Getting started in crafts
    I am 69 years old. I do a lot of crafting. I would like to put my things on a web site,But not quite sure how to do it. I get started and then get stuck. I read about a site called weebly.com. Then it said something about affiliate products. What are affiliate products?
    I'm not the smartest on this computer but I know a little. Thank-you for your help:confused::confused:

    Hi, crafts1940!

    I can help you to do what you're trying to do on a website! Affiliate products, to my understanding, is where you agree for posting of advertisers ads on your site, and then you would get paid when people click on the ads. I think that it's also called affiliate marketing. I'm sure that someone else could explain that product and marketing thing better than me, though.

    I have a couple of sites on weebly.com, but they're still under construction by me.

    You could also post images of what you've done right on this site! I would be glad to show you how you could do that too!

    Thanks!

    I'm on the western side of Illinois, so I'm Central Time. I'll be back on here tonight at probably about 11:45 P.M. your time. I have to direct a barbershop chorus rehearsal that goes until 10:00 P.M. my time.

    I hope that sort of time isn't too late for you!

    Thanks!

    I'm going to try and start another major craft thread here Momma. I hope that you will be a part of it. It just takes some time to coordinate things here...

    Thanks!

    Yes, I have a jewelry store on etsy. It is an excellent site with marvelous, creative items for sale that are all handmade. I also have a store on eBay. Ebay is more involved to set up. At etsy the hardest thing for me to do was make a banner for my store. I just could not do it. There are people on etsy such as pixelcafe who will make your banner and avatar (a picture symbol for you) for a small charge. Etsy charges very little to post items for sale, something like 20 cents for each posted item and they stay posted for three months. With a mouse click you can relist expired items. So easy. Ebay is a lot more expensive and complicated. Items are posted for sale for 7 or 10 days and you are charged correspondingly higher prices for items that cost more. Try etsy first. It is easy to get started and costs very little. If you like that, then you might be ready to tackle setting up your eBay store. You will want to have a paypal account set up for either etsy or eBay. Go to paypal.com to set one up.
