What's the best way to sell a handful of craft products online? Shopify seems expensive given I'd likely sell £60 of stock a month max. I'm on Etsy but have never made a sale on it. I'm hoping to drive traffic from Instagram and Facebook ads.

Just want something simple and low cost as I don't even know if anyone wants to buy my products. I'm short of time too so a more easy to use system would be best. Help!

Should add I've never made a sale on Etsy as have never listed anything. It is such a confusing overwhelming interface!

Etsy is your best bet. You can watch YouTube videos on how to list items then advertise your store link on Insta and FB.... Good luck

My website is with weebly, and I love it. Used to be with Godaddy and just can't believe the difference; weebly has been so easy to use, but it is a monthly fee (as most will be) but I think you can get a free trial.

To see on etsy, you really need to invest the time in researching your tags and taking amazing photos - it is so oversubscribed for some crafts that even being found is difficult. When considering your time, material costs and selling fees etc, you should be aiming for more than £60 a month or you'll be losing money so take some time to look into it and give it a proper go.

Thank you both. After a lot of Googling I've listed 3 things on Etsy so let's see what happens.

Try WIX, my website is hosted with them and I love it. It's cheap and great to start with e-commerce!
