How Can You Display Your Handmade Jewellery Online If You Are Already Selling It On a Retail Shop?

If you are crafting handmade jewellery and have a retail shop which sells handmade artisan jewellery then you must need to be online. There are millions of websites which are reputed and visited frequently. The question arises that how you will display your products online. It is not much difficult. If you will pay some one to display your products on his famous website, it may cost you a lot. And if you are going to do it by your self by uploading your own site then you will need some time, efforts, money and research to do it properly.
Are you thinking where to start from? The prime thing is that you should take fabulous pictures of your handmade jewellery products. These pictures should show each and every corner very clearly and be sure that every picture carries all the qualities which are needed to catch attention of viewer. Jewellery should not put on rock or on lump of wood, although they are artsy. On Internet it is very difficult to catch attention of viewer so it must be shown on plain and compatible background. For instance, if you created sterling silver jewellery then background must be in black or dark colors. And if the jewellery is of gold and have dark gems then light or average colored background would be the priority.
After taking the pictures you will need a site on the web. And if you are new and just starting then lots of free blogs websites are there that might help you to learn how to launch your product in proper manner. But free websites should not be used for running the business. You can get the space on the World Wide Web with a reasonable amount. Choose an appropriate name for your website that should reflect your business. After you have purchased the website name and web hosting space then you need to design your website and upload your pictures to the viewers. It is recommended to use the free shopping cart software that will give you all the facilities to upload the products, pictures, details, prices, shipping info etc. You can also integrate the online payment gateways so that the interested visitors may purchase your product online and the money will be deposited in your bank or PAYPAL account. These all features are usually available in the shopping cart software. You can use the free open source software or can get one by paying some minor monthly fee.
After your site is up, the hardest and time-consuming task is making back links of your site. It may be difficult to get the links from the old and popular sites. But if your site is really interesting and useful then many people will place the link of your store on their websites without even a single request from your side.
To make your site more user friendly, check the links of other popular sites to see that what kind of information they are providing and finding that why they are so popular. Read and update your site frequently, because it is a continual process and you must make necessary changes after some time. For instance, you should add some new content if you have found some new information about any product. And you must display your latest handmade jewellery designs on first page with their links. You should check the working statistics of your site and if any thing is not working then change it.
