A cool way to sell things directly from your blog
Guys, this looks awesome. Have you ever wished you could sell the amazing t-shirt you designed, or the digital magazine you made, or the six tote bags you sewed in a frenzy one night? And you wished you could do it right from Facebook or your blog, so you don't have to set up an entire e-commerce store for a single product? Oh, and you also wished you could sell your thing in a way that looks professional instead of tacky?
I just learned about ShopLocket, a widget you can embed directly on your blog, website, or Facebook page to sell your product. It integrates seamlessly with Paypal, only takes a couple minutes to set up, and doesn't require any coding knowledge. You can choose a design, enter your product info (including variants like size and color, or an expiration time), embed your product on your website like you would a YouTube video, and watch the orders come in. So useful! Learn more at ShopLocket.com.
UPDATE: ShopLocket is no longer in business; see comments for other ideas.

ohhh thanks for this - might give this a go! I'm only making a few bits at the moment and don't think I can warrant an Etsy shop just yet so this could be the perfect first step! x
Hmmm... that looks interesting! I might have to check it out a bit.

Oh wow! This is a find. Thanks so much for this information and link. I've been wanting to do just that and dreaded setting up e-commerce through my main website.
Thanks for sharing, this looks like something I want to try out.
Looks like a great way to sell a few goodies!

Oh...this would be useful, need to explore. Thanks for sharing!!
This looks really interesting but I'm only just starting to set up my blog and don't have any traffic yet. I'm going to start with Etsy and if I'm fortunate enough in the future to have people reading my blog - then ShopLocket will be very convenient. Thanks for the link x
It looks cute too! Perfect!
Omg that is amazing!! so many possibilities!! thanks so much for sharing (:
SWEET!
So Cool. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this - I have a big cartel small shop, the free basic version, I don't make or sell enough to warrant the full on paid version - this could be the answer. You always find the best stuff!
there is also this site called DropClock - http://www.dropclock.com/
Oh this looks good. Do you know how it compares with e-junkie?
Thanks for these tips! Wanna get started on my blog, so this is great.
Never heard of e-junkie or DropClock; thanks for those ideas, too!
This is cool! Thanks for sharing :)
This looks REALLY good especially as I'm just starting out...
Thanks - your blog is brilliant Jessica
Ah wow this is perfect for me! Have been considering an etsy shop but might try this first. Thank you for sharing Jessica, you're a gem!
This looks interesting! found this article via Pinterest - thank you :)
Perfect timing YES! Wasn't sure on creating a whole Etsy store, it sounded a little intimidating how to go about everything, but this is so simple! Gotta give this a try!

Thank you for sharing this. Sounds like something that could help me out.
Hi Guys,
Twalop.com lets you do a lot more than just embed the item on your blog. it lets you track everything.
Best of all its free. no transaction fees, no set up costs or monthly fees.
This is so cool! My friend just sent it to me :) I have things I'd like to sell but haven't yet :) Thanks!
Blessings,
Mel

Thank you so much for this! This is just what I needed!!
I came across this blog as I was looking for ways to sell through blogs, but found that shoplocket is no longer offering that service. Apparently, they have helped many, thanks for sharing your knowledge so eloquently.
So what's the alternative if this is no longer available?
Any alternatives now that it is closed?
Maybe check out www.shoprocket.co ? Not very familiar with it but just got an email from them.
Thanks a bunch for sharing this! It may be just what I need :)
Oh no, just saw the update ;_;
Hey! Try Ecwid. It's the best. It has "Single Product Widget" feature, basically same thing that described above. So you can sell one (or more) products right from your blog.
