Fabulous How-To Books

I must admit, I have never been a great believer in How-To Books. However, when I recently revitalized my site I turned to Selling Crafts on the Internet by James Dillehay. It was incredible. By using James' tips (and hard work), within 2 months my site was on page #1 on a Google Search for Fine Gourd Art! Electronically-challenged, I nevertheless found his ideas easy to follow. Currently reading The Directory of Grants for Crafts, I am looking forward to putting more of James' ideas into practice. Click on the photo at right to find more information.

Starting a Craft Business the Profitable Way

I learned about VistaPrint's
Free Business Cards
years ago, and I continue to tell my artesan friends. As a native New Yorker, I didn't believe it, but it's true...you pay only shipping, and you can reorder again and again.What's the gimmick? They have a small line on the back side advertising their site. Keep an eye out for their specials.

Much easier to have something delivered.
