The other day I was chatting online with a jewelry artist who makes delightfully kooky glass beads.

She asked me not to mention her name here because she has trouble with copycats, but she did give me permission to tell you about the conversation I had with her.

She told me that since the latest economic downturn started, she's been selling more of her beads - and the jewelry she makes with them - than ever before.

She can hardly make her beads and jewelry fast enough to keep up with the demand.

Her beads are all either amusingly designed to make people chuckle, or are just plain cheery. The colors she uses are clear, un-muddied, happy hues of lime, turquoise, blue, peach, etc.

Why are they suddenly so popular she can hardly make them fast enough?

She believes that it's simply because they make people happy - and I think she's right.

Jewelry tends to be an emotional purchase. And right now, in the face of all the gloom and doom that you hear everywhere, this artist's cheerful, funny beads are a huge pick-me-up.

So what are her customers really buying?

They're buying a smile, a giggle, and a good light-hearted feeling. An escape from their cares and worries. And the opportunity to make other people smile, every time they wear these delightfully fun beads.

Today's neat site is artist Will Cascio's Heavy Magic, custom leather and silver designs for the motorcyclist market.

Will's detailed work often combines both leather and metal - like in his custom, museum-quality Hardwire Gauntlet.

I think he's done an excellent job of targeting a market that appreciates his unique artistry!

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.
