Websites for SMB’s to Sell Stuff Online

As a small business owner looking to get their products out to potential customers, you may be wondering how to go about doing so. You may not be ready to launch and host your own website, but you want to start selling your products online to test the waters. Luckily for you, there are a ton of websites small business owners can utilize to sell their goods and start making money online.

Here are a few options you can consider:

Etsy is one of the largest craft marketplaces with thousands of sellers making sales every day. From personalized portraits and wedding invitations to party decor and handmade jewelry, the possibilities are endless. Etsy acts as a search engine so the better optimized your storefront is, the better chances you have of putting your products in front of the eyes of potential buyers.

Etsy’s listing fees are $0.20 per item, plus 6.5% of each transaction amount. However, because of their listing prices, many sellings are looking for alternatives to selling their items. Something to keep in mind if you can’t afford the fees.
