Selling Jewelry Online? Can I do it?

I'm currently experimenting with a jewelry website... well, I should say blog has been my newest time killer. I'm still doing everything else I was doing up to now, but have added the jewelry to the mix.

It's very much an experiment with the real question being... can you sell jewelry from a blog using a very simple PayPal shopping cart? Will people trust the site? Will the like the jewelry? Will they like the price? There are a lot of questions and so far no buyers! lol

Maybe my readers can check out my blog and give me a little constructive criticism? I'm taking advantage of the traffic I already have coming into Cake Space by adding a banner... but haven't gained a lot of traffic that way.

In any case, wish me luck! I'm hoping to earn a few extra dollars for Summer activities while my kids are home from school. I have about 50 of these crosses already made and will likely make another 50 within the next couple of weeks. A handful will go to my church as donations... something I've been doing for a few years now.

So why not using Etsy? Well, I set up an account and will probably try it, but I really want to see if the blog thing works first. There are pros and cons either way... the customer might feel more secure using their shopping cart, but then again, PayPal is secure. They might feel they have recourse should they not receive their product, or if they don't like the quality, but I'm willing to accept returns and apply insurance for any shipment... hmm... now that I think about it, I should probably post that to my blog! lol

Please check my blog out and give me a few pointers.... especially if this is what you do. This meaning selling jewelry or creating websites/blogs. Thank you!
