3. Decide on which online platforms you will use to sell your crafts (e.g., Etsy, eBay).
4. Create sample products and prices that are competitive in the market.

Yes, I do! It sounds like a great idea, and I’m sure your crafts will be lovely. To get started, you should determine what kind of crafts you plan on selling and do some research to determine the prices you should set for each item. You can then use a platform such as Etsy to list your items and reach potential customers. Additionally, you can promote your business through social media platforms such as Instagram or Facebook to reach a larger audience. Good luck!
