How do I market my hand tooled custom leather projects?

snap_knight asked:


I am 52 years old and have recently (1 yr ago) been disabled. I’ve taught myself how to tool leather and make projects of any kind.

I can make almost anything from leather including: checkbook covers, book covers, wallets, business card holders, custom tool boxes, bracelets, purses, briefcases, watch bands and etc. I can put any finish on them and can carve almost any picture or emblem on them. I can put any kind of background on the work as ordered.

The problem is, I can’t find a good way of trying to sell my product. I’ve tried e-bay, but I didn’t even get a bid. My prices were not high by the standards of other e-bayers. I don’t make mass products, but by order only. I can produce pictures of any or all of my work. What am I doing wrong, or better yet, what can I do that is right? Thanks in advance.
