It's a useful service. I can see how this will work very well for Cally's Crockett project but I think you might have to sell an optimum number of your own books on a site to make it worthwhile. On the other hand, with several books out there, it might be worth giving it a try.

What they offer, and their prices, seem comparable to Weebly, so I suppose it's a matter of looking at the designs and deciding which you prefer.Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-76648701910508693902014-05-29T10:22:51.003+01:002014-05-29T10:22:51.003+01:00great explanation Cally, I have a Weebly website a...great explanation Cally, I have a Weebly website and it's fabulous, I don't know why people pay a fortune for others to do them for them, apart from anything else it means I can get in there anytime and change it, without having to ask anyone else. and I've got the free version! re paypal, I have an account and pay for things with it, but I understand you have to pay monthly for an account to actually BE paid which is what put me off. basically I suppose it's down to do you earn enough from such a shop to cover the cost of paypal and weebly business update?

I reckon if you can use Blogger, you can 'do' Weebly. We use the blog facility as well. OK, OK, I blog on his behalf! We've been seriously thinking about putting a virtual store on there as well for his paintings and prints and I'll try to get round to it in the summer. Already have a Paypal account so I would have to do it for him, I think. He's only just started doing his own emails! We're using eBay for his artworks at the moment and he sells the occasional print, but they aren't particularly good for art and I reckon he might do as well selling from his own site. Keep us posted as to how it all goes with the Crockett Project.

As usual, I admire the way you commit to things. For me, though, the main inhibiting factor is my idleness. I'll be interested to hear how the project develops - and I'll be watching out for tips on getting rid of the 'not so' in my marketing strategy.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.com
