What is the concept of this site?
We are a live broadcasting site for others who make crafts. We broadcast videos live over the internet, take product orders, payments and customer information. We contact the vendor (the person who made the crafts) and tell them what was ordered and give them the necessary information to ship their products. When the vendor gives us the tracking information for the product(s) shipped, we release their money to them.
Why make a site like this?
There are many answers to this question.
With the current economy the way it is, many people need a second or even third income to survive.
Many crafters also go to craft shows to sell their products. That has many downfalls. The cost for selling at a show is becoming very expensive. You have to pay out of pocket to rent your space before you even make a sale. And there is no guarantee that you will make a sale. You also have to pay in advance. Allot of the shows are outside. Weather is another problem. Rain, snow, too hot, too cold etc....
There are so many people out there who want or need to sell their crafts but have either no way to market them or don't know how.
We want to help others make money while making a little money ourselves.
A friend of mine makes candles and used to sell at shows, asked me if the concept of making a site like this is possible. I said yes, and since I love making websites, I thought it would be a nice challenge.
How do you get the video to broadcast live?
There are two ways. You can either let us tape a session of you discussing your products (if you are shy, we have someone to tape for you) or you can send us a video of your products.
How and what do you charge?
Our initial plan was to charge for the video footage. $20 for the first half hour and $10 for each additional half hour.
We decided to change that to 10% of the sales that are made through our site.
What if I don't want to broadcast live but still want to sell my craft products?
We have a craft marketplace for anyone to sell their products. With the marketplace, you do pay us in advance to open a store. The cost depends on how many products you want to sell. We are keeping the costs to open a store low. Videos will be allowed in your stores. Vendors who broadcast live are also encouraged to open an online store. Please follow the link below to get started today.
I need more information about this site, where do I go?
Please go to the FAQ section of our site. The link is on the link bar at the top of our site.
What if I want to sell items but they are not crafts?
We will be making an auction site for those who want to sell items. The auction site is not just for crafts. You can sell anything there, crafts included of course. Videos will be allowed in your auctions. You will have many options with this auction including opening a store. Stay tuned for more details.
Thank you for visiting our site and we hope you have enjoyed your experience with us. |
