A is for Artfire, B is for Beta

Artfire is a baby! A big baby, at that! Found this great interview with the President of ArtFire, John Jacobs.

"If you’re looking to sell handmade items, you’ll find that there are a lot of choices to make as to where and how you’d like them to be sold. Starting a business is never easy, but marketing handmade products isn’t one of the easiest routes to go. Thankfully there have been wonderful websites online that have helped artisans get their start. A new website has launched with these crafty men and women in mind.

Artfire, currently in beta launch, is a free way for sellers to share their creations. Unlike some of the other craft-based store options, Artfire offers a free store which allows someone to list up to 10 items with absolutely no fees while still allowing you to show off your products in an atmosphere that is dedicated to handmade products.

The President and CEO, John Jacobs, is an individual who has always found himself testing the waters of business, ever since he was a young man. Now he is simply an inspiration to those interested in following the same path."

Ha ha, I tantalized you! Read the rest of this article at Dane Carlson's Business Opportunity Weblog.
