I'm relatively new at this but how do i know if i have a sale? i'm not on bonanza 24/7 and since i do not offer items in volume, i cannot be a customer of bonanza's till i see some sales. sort of a two part question. any advice from an eperienced shop ow

I got a website ($) so now how can I make use of it w/o spending more $ or at least for now as little as possible. Sort of the ole “chicken or egg -what comes first” I need sales to advertize to get access to a wider audience but need to generate income to pay for the advertizing? For now I shall try to do grouping or some sort of discounting

Welcome Jamco247!

Depending on how you have your account setting set up with payment method, once a sale is made, you should receive 2 emails (I do anyway) One from Bonanza and the second from PayPal.

Hope this helps in some small way

I might suggest giving up the webstore for now, not necessary. Put your advertising at 9% for Google submission

You can promote Your items via free social media channels or choose the most suitable for Your booth B. advertising [URL removed]

What the others say is very good advice. It is hard getting started and if you depend on sales as a livelihood it is even harder. Use the social media sites as ArtistsUnion indicates. Sometimes sellers are reluctant to get into those avenues of potential buyers, but it does pay off. We sell on other sites under different names and also in brick and mortar shops. The best advice was given me by a live-bait shop owner years ago when on a fishing trip. He said, “You have to spend money to make money.” Good advice but not always easy to do.
