small business owners

[MetalSmitten]

Does anyone on here run a small time business, like selling things on Ebay/Etsy or anything else like that? What do you do?

I sell on Etsy in 2 shops, I sell Tupperware and co-own a garden shop that is open in the spring. I own a gift shop and sell at craft fairs.

Me and my hubby create and sell fused glass art.

I make handmade soaps. I do sell online, though not very much. I do much better when I do festivals and such.

I sell vintage and antique items on etsy. Which reminds me, I need to get busy listing!

I used to sell at art/craft festivals, all stained and etched glass, but DH is only off on the occasional weekend so I keep those open now.

ETA: I used to sell on ebay a lot, but they have gotten so negative for sellers that I refuse to do business with them anymore.

wow, i dunno why but i'm pleasantly surprised at how many people on here also sell on etsy

i'm gonna have to come check out your shops! how's it been going for you guys? do you use any of the social networking sites to market yourselves?
