I have sold some on Etsy, but it seems one needs to be at it non-stop with promotion to sell. It has become like E-bay, so much for sale, and for so many of us there is not enough time to put into it...after all, we need time to make the stuff we sell!I actually do much better selling at bazaars and shows.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205168631502523680.post-87174845028475500202010-04-20T13:50:12.181+10:002010-04-20T13:50:12.181+10:00I've wondered about this question also.

Madeit has worked fairly well for me and i find that much more encouraging. I have an account with bigcartel but haven't set it up yet. Good luck deciding.<br />Cathy xLittle Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407653695969388496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205168631502523680.post-39892380948815598942010-04-19T22:52:23.845+10:002010-04-19T22:52:23.845+10:00I haven't tried Madeit (though perhaps I shoul...I haven't tried Madeit (though perhaps I should given that it's all Australian and I only ship within Australia)... I hear good things about BigCartel although I understand that it takes a bit of extra promotional work because it doesn't have the network that etsy does. I love your stuff Luisa, don't give up... I am sure you will find your niche. How do markets go for you? xoVeri-Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240932063144037031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205168631502523680.post-20992871149594830262010-04-19T20:29:01.861+10:002010-04-19T20:29:01.861+10:00I've also had an excellent exprience with Made...I've also had an excellent exprience with Made It. I figured my items would get lost on Etsy, there is just so much. The marketing and emails etc is excellent on Made it, and I guess because it is smaller, it easier to have your items featured. Just wish I had more time to put things in my shop. Good luck!

I love the ease it has to set up shop, the help you get on the forum, the free advertising on their blog and especially the friends I have made.
