Question: How can I start an online Jewelry Business?

I've been making jewelry for a long time. Currently I sell it to friends and family, but have been told many times that I should give online a shot. I have experience designing web pages and would have a lot of fun doing something like that. I just don't know the business side of it, like how to receive payments, do I need a license, and things like that. Also, I have thought about ebay but I'm not sure that it would be a good idea. I put a lot of money and time into my jewelry, and would probably charge more than people would be willing to pay on ebay.
I looked up dreamweaver and it's really expensive! What other web design software can I use?

Answer: Yes you can! You might not make much profit, but all you can do is try.
Start off by buying a website domain
try http://doteasy.com they offer a good price for your own website domain. You can make your websites in dreamweaver and upload them using ws_ftp or you can use a website builder.

You should advertise around your town and other areas, put up flyers showing your link to your website.

And make sure you learn about web traffic and tags so that search engines can get your web site in their results

How to recieve payment from your customers: try using paypal,

http://paypal.com

and have a link to paypal for customers on your site.

And no, you don't need a license.
