Synopsis:

Fully updated for 2026

Are you frustrated over how to market your handmade products online? Discover, step by step, how crafters and other makers succeed selling on e-commerce sites while working from home.

Has your online sales presence failed to produce the income you're seeking? The ground has shifted. Etsy raised its fees and tightened its handmade rules. TikTok Shop became a real storefront for makers. Shoppers now ask AI assistants to find products for them. What worked three years ago doesn't work the same way today.

As an artisan featured in The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Finance, and Entrepreneur Radio, James Dillehay has spent thirty years turning small craft projects into profitable enterprises. In this revised edition, he shows you how to position your arts and crafts head and shoulders above the crowd of competitors — on the platforms that matter right now.

Sell Your Crafts Online is a working manual, not a pep talk. Between step-by-step how-tos and checklists, Dillehay's proven strategies put your products in front of buyers who are ready to spend.

In this edition you'll learn:

• How to find crafts that make money — sewing, crochet, jewelry, quilting, soap making, candle making, dolls, beading, woodworking, polymer clay, art, and more
• How to sell on Etsy, start to finish, even if you've never listed a product
