The Home Based Jeweler's Showcase blog is an excellent, free opportunity to promote your jewelry business.

It's also a fantastic place to find other jewelry artists to network with, trade blog content or comments with, promote each other's work, etc. I know many of the artists who have listed their businesses on the Home Based Jeweler's Showcase - and I can promise you they're true gems!

The Home Based Jeweler's Showcase is published by Rita Juhlin of Private Stock Jewelry.

Sell your jewelry to customers who are VERY willing to buy your unique handcrafted pieces - again and again. This is the main way I sell my own jewelry now.

You'll find everything you need to get started selling your own jewelry this way, in my book Secrets of a Handcrafted Jewelry Shopping Service.

Invest in this 115-page, easy-to-read guide now, and make this your best jewelry selling year ever:

Share your own jewelry business article, tip, project, or advice - and build traffic to your website at the same time. You can also include any photos you have that illustrate your contribution.

When I publish your contribution, you'll receive a free permanent link to your website from my site - and your content will be read by thousands of people in the jewelry industry. My guest authors report a significant flow of traffic coming from their links on my sites!

In the “back to school” and “off to college” ads the stores are running right now, I noticed a lot of sale items that could be useful in a jewelry business.

Here are a few examples of useful, cheap treasures you might find:

• Desk lamps you could use for lighting up your jewelry display (or your work area).
• All sorts of storage bins, drawers, and cubes for organizing your jewelry supplies.
• Crates, containers, and stackable small tables that could be used to create different levels in your jewelry display – and also to store and transport the things you take to your jewelry shows and parties.
• Sheets of stickers – I write my jewelry prices on the smallest size of removable stickers, and stick them to my jewelry tags and earring cards.  When the item sells, I easily peel off the price sticker before packaging the jewelry.
• Lap desks that would make a nicely portable, flat surface for jewelry making.
• Office supplies for the “business” side of your jewelry business.

To find the back-to-school deals on these kinds of items in your area, check the websites and sale flyers of your local dollar stores, Walmart / Target type stores, office supply stores, etc.

I find that when these sales start, the sale items tend get rummaged through and "shopworn" in the stores pretty quickly, so you’ll have a better selection of undamaged stuff to choose from by shopping as soon as the sale starts.

Today's neat site is Lois Martens' Jewelry.

Lois calls her jewelry style "forms, reinvented". Currently she has three themes for her work - Icon Objects, Embedded, and Fold Forming.

Be sure to visit her excellent "Techniques" page - partly because her methods are so interesting, and partly because it's good inspiration for ways you can educate your own customers on the craft of your jewelry.

No matter how you sell your jewelry online, you have to do your own marketing if you want to make sales.

Using the step-by-step strategies you'll learn in my book, Social Networking: Sell Your Jewelry Online the New Way, you can easily develop your own online customer base, without competition from other jewelry artists.
