Before you get too excited the peak of the season for decorative plasma cutting is in December (it least it was for the four years I made it my main income source) e-commerce is okay but only as a place to take orders and most people want to talk to a human. Your best market is a local one and the web is not focused for local sales. Honestly, media like Facebook is better. Every market is different but people are the same in most areas and after the gift season their impulse buying drops off. You can still do okay in the custom business if you live in a area where things like metal gates and "yard art" are popular.little blue choo wrote:Well my December sales numbers are in, unless something else sells in one of by booths today. Between my two booths and all my orders from previous buyers and people who just heard about me or seen my work on my facebook page the grand total was $2060.00. Less booth rentals and all materials ($440) I cleared $1620.00.Now bad for a hobby! Thanks you Christmas buyers! Got to hurry and finish my e-commerce website.
