I used to know understand how people would get all this stuff for FREE, but you can. For example CVS, I pretty much never pay cash for any beauty, toiletry items, oral care, pain relievers, paper towels, toilet paper, cleaners for the house, milk, etc. When you think about how much money goes into those items each month, for each family member, it really adds up. Plus, I don't have to pay any taxes like I would on a paycheck, nor do I have to have childcare to go to work. If you ever have any questions, e-mail me & I would be glad to explain or you could even call. Here if you want me to explain. And, boy do we stay stocked up on items. Should something happen like no work for a bit, we don't have to go to the store.Lowry517https://www.blogger.com/profile/17793900850079814696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-76817576217708882652011-08-26T22:22:54.847-05:002011-08-26T22:22:54.847-05:00Interesting post and so helpful!

It is crazy the business I have gotten from my blog, I post about items in my booth and always include the prices and sure enough it sells to someone who has read my blog. We have so many readers that we don't even know exist, and I am sure other people like myself like to follow other local people. So if I was selling at a farmers market, garage sale, etc. be sure to put it on your blog<br /><br />CarolThe Polka Dot Closethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509900941899875184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-41397092775585736112011-08-26T20:51:22.797-05:002011-08-26T20:51:22.797-05:00I'm afraid I can't help too much.

I've had people asking about buying my goat's milk soap just by posting about it on my blog or Facebook.

I had my bags in a shop, sold some from my blog and also sold them at the preschool. I often check etsy for ideas but have yet to buy anything there. I've had the best luck selling extra items from around the house at yard sales. I go all out with the signs, putting them on bulletin boards at grocery stores, on craigslist, on posts at streetcorners etc. Have you thought of posting pictures of some of the small items you have for sale on your blog?Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687590785527530194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-30356172418474025912011-08-26T12:17:13.406-05:002011-08-26T12:17:13.406-05:00Just keep getting your name out there in all kinds...Just keep getting your name out there in all kinds of ways...don't put all your eggs in the same basket....it's kind of like investing...diversify....local flea market booths, yard sales, selling on line, word of mouth, church craft sales and school craft sales, friends, family...give some stuff away and ask those that receive that they pass the word along that you're the one who made this craft item....always mention it in your blog...and change the view up...it makes the eye look closely "again"...kind of like what retail stores do...these are just a few things I had in mind..myself for my bags at Mel's Designs for the Cabin blog....MelMel's Designs from the Cabinhttp://www.cabinfever228.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-55667438741626011562011-08-26T11:54:06.000-05:002011-08-26T11:54:06.000-05:00I had some stuff on etsy and never sold a thing!

Everyone said my things were cute and I don't feel they were overpriced but there is just SOOO many things on there that it is easy for items to get lost. Hope you have some luck! I have been selling produce at the local Farmer's Market for extra money.Candy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07863818451136277378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-23188085911568716102011-08-26T10:40:10.970-05:002011-08-26T10:40:10.970-05:00I've been wondering how to do that too!
