i am planning to design make pillow covers . i want to sell them online. how do i go about it ,if i dont want use sites like ebay or amazon??.--Answer1:make you own web-site or join any biding site and display your product..--Answer2:Good choice by deciding to avoid feEbay and amazon. First you build the website. You can do this using a site builder (just google site builder or sign up for a hosting service that has a site builder as part of the package, or you can design the website using html. For a guide on this you can go to learninghow2.com. You will need to go with a host either way to host your website so you can google "website hosting" to try to find the best deal. Once you have a host you can upload your website to your host, that learninghow2 guide also shows how to upload stuff using filezilla which is free.You can sign up at Google Checkout or Paypal by going to their site and signing up and then finding the area that says "buttons" so you can design pay buttons to go on your website. This is where learning the html from the guide before comes in handy because you will copy the html code of the paypal buttons, and then put it into your website. You can sign up for a credit card merchant for your website too, that way people can pay with credit cards. Just google "credit card merchant". Then your site is all set up and you can start marketing it. You can then start advertising using the internets resources, like youtube. Make videos that are related to pillow covers somehow that are also entertaining. Make videos people might actually want to watch. Then put a banner across the screen advertising the domain name for your website so people go to your website. Make a video then upload it on all the major video sites, myspace, youtube, metacafe, veoh, dailymotion. Be sure to give it a title that is relevant to what your selling. If the title of your video says "pillow covers in California", and someone searches in google for "california pillow covers", then they will most likely see your video since sites like youtube show up first in google results. You can also sign up for google Adwords. Its free. Just go to googles site or type in google "adwords" and it will bring you to the page. You can advertise using adwords, where you pay an amount per click for each time someone clicks on the ad which brings them to your site. I pay about .12 cents per click for my website because there is alot of competitors for my industry. Try to sell on the free sites, though may not have luck. Craigslist, iOffer, ecrater, plunderhere, blujayThose are all free I think..--Answer3:Hi,You can try the links below to help you with how you can promote your own products online with the necessary help and tools.Both are super great sites with fat loads of great information.
