    I'm thinking to setup a site selling physical handcraft product, do you all think this is something worth to try? Any comments?

    It's really going to depend on the quality of the product, how big the market for it is, and how much competition there is in that market.

    Your best bet in selling it is probably Ebay and similar online store sites.

    It depends on what you sell.But make sure a specific investigation is made so that the things you plan to promote
    have its market.Or you may face a big failure for the coming competition.

    Selling physical handcraft products isn't any different than selling else. Internet marketing is internet marketing. You still need to do your keyword research, find a hungry crowd, and give them what they want or need.

    I couldn't agree more. Satisfy people's needs and you'll get your reward.

    hi it is OK but try to stay focused on one area or in a field of handcrafted product becuase if not you are going to be creating a mall in the internet and people will look at your site feel overwhelmed and leave the same as the rankings in alexa and in seo wont go up because search spiders wont understand under which keyword to rank you in and you will stay neutral...

    You can sell anything if you have a good product and do your research first - no rocket science there. :)

    dropshipping is probably the best way unless you can get products really cheap
