17 sites to sell your creations on the Internet

There are more and more of you selling your own creations on the Internet, and the websites specialized in creation and “handmade” are also widely spread!

These sites specialize in crafts and handmade offer the opportunity to create your own e-commerce store to allow you to sell your own creations. But they also seek to develop the spirit of mutual aid, sharing creative techniques, and federate communities of creators and creators to build loyalty on their own platform.

But do not ever feel forced to stay on a platform if you see that the features offered elsewhere are more interesting, or if another site levies commissions on sales more advantageous for your own business! I strongly advise you to take the time to compare all that will be beneficial to your professional activity (although it is often also a passion) on these different sales platforms:

• everyday simplicity, especially to present your creations but also to communicate with your fans and / or your customers.
• the quality of the layout of your e-commerce store and the possibility of creating your blog (without falling into the traps of free websites).
• the placement time of your ads, product listings (some sites limit this period, after which it will republish or pay investment costs).
• the number of product sheets that you can distribute.
• the transparency of commissions levied on your sales, and the means of payment made available to customers.
• the quality of SEO products, creations of existing e-commerce shops (do research tests on Google or other search engines to check how these platforms are positioned, not just their main pages but also the pages of presentations creations …).
• the tools for promoting your store and products on social networks, but also the possibility of automatically distributing these product sheets on other market places.
• the ability to import or export your entire creative catalog from or to another site or database.

 

You may also prefer to create your own e-commerce store, because you feel that there is too much competition on these platforms that gather thousands of creators, or in addition … in which case I propose a list of e-commerce solutions to create your own shop.

Here is the list of sites dedicated to the creation and the hand-made to sell your own achievements! This page will be regularly updated and updated, so remember to come back, put it in your favorites and share it largely via the social buttons at the top of the page.
