Show the world your scrolling projects.

Many of you sell your scroll saw projects at craft shows. If you do I'm sure you have been asked if you have a web site. Customers stop by and admire your art work but just are not ready to buy. One way to get that potential customer to see your work again is to direct them to an online gallery of your work.

Traditional web sites are difficult to set up correctly and even more difficult to maintain. It's far from impossible but for some it's not something they want to learn.

An easy alternative is a Blog. What is a blog you ask? Well your reading a blog. A blog is nothing more than a web site that has been designed to be user friendly and easy to set-up and update.

Blogs are great for scrollers. You can update customers about future shows you will be attending. They are great places to tell a little more about yourself and your work. Creating a new post with pictures is as simple as using a word processor.

With a little more effort you can even take orders for your work right from your Blog. You can set up a free Paypal account and even take credit card orders from the Blog.

Everyone who loves to create things enjoys sharing what they create. Why not share them with the whole world. Get yourself a Blog today and be online tonight.

Here is a video of just how easy it is to setup a Blog on www.blogger.com. It's free and easy and almost painless.

Enjoy and happy scrolling.

I put together a video for the scrolled bowl pattern i posted the other day. A few people emailed me with questions. You can download the free scroll saw pattern from the earlier post.

Have fun and happy scrolling
