    Hey guys i need some help.

    I'm starting to think if i want to grow my little ''business'', I want to be able to separate myself a little from SV so i'll be able to reach more people. Been trying to have a page on facebook but groupe page or fan page don't work well. My page for the pole silhouette contest is a fanpage.

     

    So i start to look to find a free webpage (like Wix) i know that there's a lot of them out there but not sure which one i should try. So what kind of page do you have, can you put a lot of picture on it? Can you put paypal on it. I'm completly lost and have no idea how it work. Hope your experience will help me.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

    You could try Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/) if you just want a way to sell products.  It's great for listing stuff but might not be the best choice for a stand-alone website where you have control over all of the formatting and can post other stuff (like contests).  WordPress (http://wordpress.com/) is pretty good too if you have a lot of other content – although you don't have control over formatting unless you purchase a domain and find a hosting site.  Aerial Amy has a website that uses a WordPress template but I believe she pays for the url to be her own (and not contain "wordpress" in the url) plus several other benefits so you should ask her how that works if you're interested (although the site has some fairly good instructions itself: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/).  I'm not sure how PayPal works, but you could probably find a way to do it if it's a stand-alone site if you do some research (I don't think you're able to do it on a normal blog, for instance, due to restrictions).  However, Etsy does use PayPal already and I think it's pretty easy to set up an account.

    sorry for the broken links – you'll have to recopy them into your browser without the ) at the end, and for the last one, type "wordpress.com vs. wordpress.org" into google and it's the first link 🙂
