One of the selling venues that I use is ArtFire - you can see the logo over there on the left. It is fairly new, and there are several things that I really like about it.
First of all, there is just one fee per month and that is a flat rate. Right now, that rate is $12 per month. I can list as many items as I like; there is no listing cost at all. I can sell as many items as I can; there is no “final value” fee. Second, the shops can now be customized somewhat, perhaps a silly thing, but now my shop has more of a “me” feel to it.
Third, there are plans on advertising to get buyers to the site. As with most sites, I personally feel that it is more my responsibility to get people to my shop than the site owners, but every little bit helps.
I could go on… listing is easy and is all on one page. You can have links to your other sites on the web, be it Flickr, Facebook, or even Etsy. There are links to help you quickly advertise, such as tweeting a new listing at Twitter.com.
ArtFire has recently restarted their referral program. If 12 people sign up using my referral program, I can have a shop for free! I would like that a lot.
So.
What’s in it for you? As a thank you, I will give you one of my Gazing Pool bicone focal beads, your choice of colors, if you join ArtFire using my referral link. ( http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=power_up&refuid=3467 ). You have been bribed! I don’t know if I can see who signed up or not… just send me a message over on ArtFire if you do.

I will update the count here. Hurry! This is only good for the first 12 people. Well, until I post here that the offer is closed. How about that?

What a great bribe, I mean, idea! I was going to refer you, but……I’m already on artfire! (How’s that for some subtle publicity!) Well, I guess I’ll just have to try later. PS: People can refer me, too! Sorry, Rose, I just had to do that.
