Craft Business Crafty Tip
If you are like me, I subscribe to several magazines which can take up a lot of room to store. Go through your magazines and cut out your favorite articles, pictures, or how-to-instructions. Recycle the rest of the magazine. By doing this, you are "going green" which is important to our planet.

Your existing customers can tell you so much about your target market. Find out more about them to be able to find more customers who will buy from you. For example, where do they shop, what do they read, what do they buy, why do they buy, how much do they spend, and so on. Use this information to build a profile of your target market, which will help you to market better to them and find more customers. Once you know more about your customers, find creative ways to sell more to them!

Craft Business Crafty Tip
When writing a title for an item to list online, be sure to do a quick search for popular keywords that people may be searching for. A good tool for this is Wordtracker's Free Keyword tool. Just type one word that describes your item and the tool will give results of phrases that people have searched for relating to your word. The number next to the phrases estimates how many people search using that phrase per day. Choose one that best describes your item and use it in your title to get better search engine traffic.

Craft Business Crafty Tip
If you're writing a blog, don't think so much about what you are doing and what you want, instead think about what your potential customer wants to know or is looking for. It will not only make your post more appealing to them, it's also likely to make it more appealing to the search engines.

Craft Business Crafty Tip
If you're having trouble getting good photos of your jewelry, try using your computer's scanner instead of a digital camera. For small, fairly flat items like jewelry, you can often get really great shots simply by arranging your item on the scanner's glass, closing the lid, draping a dark cloth over the scanner to prevent any extra light from getting in - and scanning it! If you want to add a different background, you can carefully place a piece of fabric, scrapbooking paper, etc. on top of the jewelry you've arranged on the scanner glass.
