Contact some of the successful sellers and ask what their strategies are. (I wouldn't contact scarf sellers, though, since they may see it as losing business to advise you) Sharon C.

I have fairly recently started selling my hand-dyed silk belly dance veils on ebay and etsy. i've done much better on ebay for some reason. I'm not selling much at all on etsy although I see that there are other people selling veils on etsy and they seem to be doing better. i also see that there are a lot of vendors selling a lot of veils on ebay. I'm trying to figure out how to market my wares better without spending a fortune. Facebook ads are very expensive. 10 years ago, when I started making belly dance costumes and put them up on a website, I contacted a lot of belly dance websites with no luck whatsoever, so I don't want to go that route again. I'm just wondering if any of you have any good marketing ideas.
