I would like to sell enough belts to be able to work from home I don't, but you may have to set your posts to public. I really haven't even investigated it yet. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Members TargetRockLeather Posted February 17, 2019 Members Report Posted February 17, 2019 I've had some success selling on Ebay. Items that fit a specific knife, axe etc that someone might be looking for. The only problem there is that you need to actually have the knife/axe in your possession to be able to make the item.

Members chrisash Posted February 17, 2019 Members Report Posted February 17, 2019 I think you will find that the people reading Facebook are looking for stories from other people, they are not looking to buy, there is the odd chance you may strike lucky with the odd one, but that's about all Now if your showing on Google, Amazon, Ebay and your own site, the chances are far higher as people are looking to buy, maybe not your product but they are nearly all looking to buy Price is a major item in selling online, but if you can explain the benefits of your item over others priced lower, you can still win, that's not slagging off the lower priced version, but explaining say, your leather comes from a 100+ year old tannery, took a year to tan and they also supplies leading quality makes like Hermes or Tiffanys/Harrods, give them some story Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me

There are some shysters on there, so you need to keep your wits about you. Good luck with your endeavours.
