Through a friend, my wife discovered Etsy. I’m sure it’s been around for awhile, but we just found it and we think it’s fantastic.

It lets artists / craftspeople market and sell their products without having to create their own website and figure out how to handle transactions, etc. The look and feel is clean and simple, and it’s a great way to start getting immediate traffic.

The site favors new users / listings so it enourages the prolific.

My wife, Kaoru, has had her own jewerly store online for a long but Etsy makes life so much easier that she is going to switch all of her operations over to Etsy. If you’re an artist, or you know one, there is tremendous potential here.
